I agree with Jim Watt and didn't think Haye had done enough. I had Valuev nicking it by a point, but was delighted that the judges disagreed with me. I was baffled by Adam Booth's advice in the corner and was convinced he was reading the fight wrong. In retrospect though, I think I may have been a bit generous to Valuev, especially early on in the fight.
My thoughts..... It was too close for comfort and I had a horrible feeling that he was going to be robbed. I scored it 115-114 and i'm pretty certain Value would present a difficult assignement for either of the the Klitoral brothers.
i personally thought it could of gone either way as haye was abroad and he did not do a great deal of attacking plus it was the sort of fight where you dont know how the judges will view each fighters tactics but valuev did seem to have lost heart late in the fight
I thought he won but I thought the judges would score all the close rounds to Valuev so I expected a draw.
On the betting exchange, just prior to Haye's small burst at the end, Valuev was under 1/2 to win the fight, so there were clearly a lot of people who thought Haye had lost it. It was about 1.8 for Valuev to win at close.
I was worried that David did not do as much as he could have done as we went to the cards. That said I thought he won comfortably. You can not win fights without landing a single punch. People, wake up.
I thought Haye just about got it and wouldn't of been surprised if it went the other way over there. Saying Valuev didn't land anything is bollocks cos he did land some punches. The problem was that Haye hardly landed anything either. He landed a bigger percentage than Valuev but he hardly through anything. The fight was a big disappointment. Maybe Haye used the right careful tactics but I'll never watch that fight again.
In my opinion David Haye didn't win the fight.. A 46 Year Old Evander Holyfield did a better job..! His punch out put was pathetic, so he hurt his hand...? I'm not totally convinced to be honest...well i'm not sure. How many times did David Haye miss..? "The beast" did quite a good job on his own defence. I'm glad he got the decision..! But he's hardly lit the heavyweight division alight again..! Do you guys honestly think Tua, and WK/VK are sitting in their houses terrified..? I don't think so..!!!!
I thought Haye did just about enough to win the fight, but was fully expecting him to be on the end of a Valuev UD special
