Comments Thread For: Valuev: Klitschko vs. Haye Was a Much Closer Fight

[TaurusJ27]

how about you fight wlad next

The promoters could call it War of the Giants.

I agree.

I don't know what fight you guys watched, but Haye landed the harder shots, had vlad hurt and almost finished him.

Vlad landed one solid right hand the whole fight; Haye landed several.

Haye lost via a jabbing contest; totally not what people make it out to be.

your name isn't quite fitting

I think Haye won 3 rounds at most.

Every round was pretty much the same from 1 to 12.

Haye on the defensive using lateral movement and alot of head movement, trying to land one big shot while Wlad was on the front foot being cautious behind his jab also looking for the few openings that were there.

Klitschko edged out almost every round simply because he was more active especially with his jab and because of that, he also landed more.

Terrible fight, i won't ever watch it again.

I'm not sure what the hubbub is all about. Haye probably won no more than three rounds but a lot of the rounds were close. So while the tally ends up being wide, the competition taking place in the ring was tight.

I gave rounds 1,3 and 12 to haye thats it

[oc9979]

What about the 12th?

I would have been a hell of a better fight if all rounds were like the 12th.

he landed 1 good punch and that was it.

Pacquiao vs Hatton was a blow out.

Mayweather vs Corrales was a blow out.

Vlad vs Haye.... Well Vlad won, that's about it.

I've said this so many times, but i'll say it again. The score cards were a blow out, coz yeah wlad won more rounds than Haye. BUT the actual rounds themselves were very very close. It was kind of like how the Lewis and Ray Mercer fight was scored. The fight was tight like hell, but Lewis did enough in each round to get the points. Haye employeed very ****** tactics during the match, but if he retires now than i believe he is a moron of the highest calibre. He can beat Wlad, he just need to learn how to put some combos together and counter punch. These can be taught, i'm not saying he can be as good as Mayweather, but he can certainly improve in these - it's not to late. The things that you can't really improve on are speed and power, which he already has. I just hope like hell he dosen't retire.

Valuev is just wrong here I think, Wlad clearly won by a wide margin I had it 9-2 and 1 even for Wlad could have easily been 10-1 and 1 even really. The only round Haye clearly won actually was the 3rd.

Am I the only one who thought it was funny that George Foreman managed it get it more or less evenly done on both sides?
