The real loser last night was boxing

longcount nailed this

 

Rubbish...

Haye was just trying to survive from round 3 onwards.. and a fast fast man trying to survive is very hard to nail.

Wlad fought a good fight.. and it would have been a great fight if Haye had also turned up.

 

I totally agree.

Haye lost out obviously, but it isn't as if Wladimir gained anything particularly. He once again did his thing, jab, jab, jab and use his size to offset any potential attacks.

Wladimir was effective but dull, I would have preferred it if he had sparked Haye in 3 rounds, then at least the casual fans I had round wouldn't think boxing is an utter snoozefest afterwards.

2 years of build up, a long war of words, constant negotiations and so much pre-fight hype to help the fight cross-over to the general public's interest, and that is what we got.

I am the only person I know seriously trying to promote boxing to my friends, but with these failures of long-awaited fights it's going to get more and more difficult.

 

haye winning and retiring would have been worse.

 

Boxing defiantely lost last night.

The bar i was in was full of floating fans, prime for conversion but instead after 8 rounds all i was hearing was 'this is boring' 'this is ****' and the worst of all 'UFC is much better than boxing'

 

Good post. I agree with you.

 

I enjoyed the fight for Wladimir. It wasn't exciting but I appreciated the little things.
Adamek won't beat Vitali. After that.... There's nobody there to even challenge the Klitschko's.

 

You need to go **** yourself with a power drill and maybe reality will sink in at some point.

The worst part about watching that fight wasn't the boring fight itself, it was watching that fight and knowing that there really is no heavyweight savior out there ....and that the entire division is doomed to mediocrity for years to come. :-(

 

the real losers are the people who have been hyping haye for the past 3 years.

 

****ing joke
If haye had won... you guys would be loving it saying he saved boxing even if we all know he is retiring..... but wlad wins and now you ****s turn to "I wont watch the HW anymore" even if haye won and kept fighting... he would be fighting the same guys the brothers are.... you ****ing guys blow my mind... your boy losses and yet you just cant accept it and give the respect it deserves............. ****ING JOKE

 

Yes how dare he only lose 2 fights in his career,unify the crusierweight division,win a heavyweight world title and generally entertain the public for years.The sport of boxing can definatley do without people like that!:roll:

PS I take it by the lack of posts you have just joined the site to rubbish Haye and know **** all about his career or boxing in general?

David Haye attempted to become only the 2nd Brit in history to become the unified heavyweight champion of the world.Perhaps he could have put up a better performance but he didnt and he lost to the bigger and better man on the night end of.

 

Boxing lost last night.

Haye was far better than any of Wladimir's recent challengers but still came up short.

Vitali is his brother and they'll never fight. So you have a very poor situation.

The #1 and #2 heavyweights will never fight. The #3 is not good enough.

Barring a miracle - Wladimir or Vitali losing or some unheard of elite fighter coming through the ranks - the division will be stinked out for another few years.

 

The real looser was David Haye, not boxing.

 

CHEF, congratulations buddy. Your man won, and you played a role in it.

For me, however, my allegiences lie with boxing itself. I was watching the fight with 8 friends last night. Everyone was pro Haye or Wladimir. I just wanted to see a good fight.
