    Yeah. I picked haye to win although by KO - blind optimism. I didn't think he'd get the decision. I'm probably so distrustful of King that a fair decision in one of his fights promotes my suspicion more than an unfair decison because it is so out of character! This is compounded by the fact that it was a voluntary defence so one which he didn't have to allow. Thanks for taking the time to post your views :good

    The score cards took a long time to collect, the future capitol lies with Haye, but I really couldn't say.

    It was odd Haye winning a close fight in Germany thats for sure. Who knows maybe judges are just scoring fights right now?

    It wasn't an outright fix but I think the boxing establishment allowed Haye to get a fair decision because they see his money-mmaking potential as a personality.

    Holyfield beat Valuev last year but that fight was rigged against him. At 46, they want rid of Evander.

    Haye and his people looked suspiciously comfortable and confident at the final bell before the decision was announced. Considering Valuev's history when it goes to the judges .......

    I think we all know how this business works. anyway, for once the right man got the decision.

    So they fixed a fair result? Sounds a bit ludicrous to me.

    Before the fight King allegedly said something about Haye winning the rematch after losing this one. That's proved to be poppycock.

    Boxing is a murky business but not half as bad as people make out.

    Even Jim Watt said that Haye had to do more than just run around the ring without punching.

    You can see that Haye knew he won the fight and did not need to punch, just run around the ring. Valouev did not show any emotion, as if he did not care.
    The money is to be made off Haye. If appears as if Haye will not fight Vitali, he will just right Ruiz, the Valouev again, etc.

    Chagaev was the real WBA champion, beat Valouev, Vlad beat Chagave and won the title in the ring, however, the criminal WBA gave the title to Valouev as a gift, Haye was give the paper title as a give as well. Vital wants to get Haye into the ring ASAP, but Haye does not want that fight.

    Jesus, you cant even go a win a fight without pathetic sceptics claiming cheat. I think the look on team Hayes faces, hayes broken fingers, valuevs chicken dance and the awkwardness of the whole fight suggests anything but a fix

    Of course Hogan would lose to Hamed. How can you expect a wrestler to beat a boxer that outweighs him by 50lb?
