    Yes i know i have been harsh on this fight and especially on Mr. Haye when i commentated it on July 2nd folks. But after reviewing the British telecast i really do feel otherwise. Excuse my booze folks.

    Brilliant fight by Mr. Klitschko. He improved drastically and handled his much faster opponent very well. Also Mr. Haye of whom i was very dissapointed by and utterly disgusted by his perfomance, his punch resistance has been answered this night.

    Technical beauty by both fighters.
    One of the best Heavyweight fights of this era folks.



    Your Larry

    Watching it back it may not be the most exciting fight, but live I was on edge because I knew one punch (either way) could potentially end the fight.

    Was an enjoyable event, minus the bit of unsatisfactory feeling that Mr. Haye didn't taste the canvas.

    5th Round Haye took a full force right hand yet the clueless Klit huggers on here said Haye would be knocked out by the first Wlad jab.The clueless Klit huggers also said Haye wouldn`t take the fight.The clueless Klit huggers also said that Haye wouldn`t turn up for the fight.

    Now the fight is over and done with and the clueless Klit huggers now say Wlad is an atg based on his passive performance against a fighter none of the Klit huggers rated.


    Comedy gold those Klit huggers...........

    That fight wasn't nearly as bad as people have said it was. David Haye showed a lot of skills and his movement and defense was outstanding. Just hard to beat a skilled big man that outweighs you by 40lbs. If Haye hadn't have talked so much @#$* prior to the fight people wouldn't have been so critical of the actual fight itself. Both fighters but up a game effort IMO.

    Eh, props to Klitschko for showing the world how to box properly.

    David haye is a ****ing disgrace though. From the prefight BS, to the actual flopping around/hesitance every damn round, to the post fight excuses.

    My faves in boxing are in SWW, WW and BW so I had no real 'dog' in that fight. But Haye's a ****ing disgrace.

    Bottom line is HAYE ran. He had no counter PLAN.

    It was pathetic on his part. Could have been much better, but he didn't want to take any risks at all.

    I thought that Haye was just a hype job that after one punch will go to sleep. I was wrong. He had skills to beat Wlad. The only thing he lacks was experience. Watch round 3 and 4 - when did we see Wlad getting hit like that? 8 years ago? That was a good fight because Haye wanted to win it, although many here speaks otherwise. And it's coming from Hayemaker hater.
    I just really enjoyd his movement and balance. I wish he will fight again, not with some bull**** like Harrison, but real top 10 contender.

    Ah Haye ran around and did nothing to win rounds

    wlad jabbed took no extra risks and won easily

    Wlad never really got hurt at any time but made Haye look amatuerish leaping in and missing

    Wlad had Haye hurt with a few rights but never really went for the kill

    'one of the 'best heavyweight fights'. huh

    I hate to say it but the fight was horriable IMO. It was as bad as gay ass summer school. I expected one the best HW fights but that just didnt happen.

    This fight was totally incongruent to the hype leading up to it, and I never bought into the Haye hype. As a HW Haye has to adopt an effective mobile strategy otherwise he“ll be mowed down by any reasonably skilled big man. He has failed to adapt and looked clueless trying to move, running instead of effectively moving in and out of offensive positions. Check out the Valuev fight, it was thesame disgraceful **** for most of the rounds, just that Valuev failed to take advantage.
