Congrats to Wladimir! Haye fought a lot like Ibragimov, and Wladimir did what he had to do! Wladimir was the aggressor, moving forward throwing punches, and Haye kept moving backwards, ducking, and continuously falling to the ground for no reason.
Good result for Klitscho, nice to see them with all the belts and Hayes mouth quite. The pics are quality
There was no pizza-face, ok, maybe Wlad had some pepperami under his eye. WK controlled distance, jabbed effectively and cut off the ring extremely well. Problem is this fight was hyped world-wide and because WK was his usual controlling and effective self it became very dull for the neutral. I had some friends round for the fight and at the end of the twelfth, one said, "and that's why we don't watch boxing any more". He was Hungarian so had no particular bias, he just wanted a good tear-up. The sooner a heavyweight of similar stature to Klitschko can get past the height advantage based defence and force him to commit to a proper non risk-free scrap, the better for HW boxing.
What a load of biased crap. Why have you missed any of haye landing on klitschko? He lost completely but he landed some decent punches.
Steward has trained his taller fighters to tire-out opponents by clinching and leaning for some time now, Lennox used it to great effect against Tyson. Hayes' camp stated that they had a remedy for that tactic before the fight and I think giving-way was it: If you don't hold him up you won't get tired! Leaning and clinching shouldn't be a part of boxing, if it needs to be highlighted by falling so as not to support the bigger mans weight, then so be it. Haye only suffered that count because Steward made such a big deal of the point deduction between rounds. The referee showed his weakness by reversing his assessment of the situation post Steward intervention, castigating Haye in the same lean/fall scenario he was blaming Wlad for previously.
