    It was very close on the finishing line. A draw is reasonable. Personally, I had Haye a toe in front.

    Definitely a close fight.
    There has to be a rematch.
    I don't like to say "robbery" but let's face it, you cannot expect to go to Germany and get a fair decision.


    :rofl

    I had it 120-108 to Haye. I thought he clearly dominated on the back foot and had Klitschko visibly hurt and retreating in almost every round.

    How Klitschko had the cheek to raise his hand at the end proves the judges scorecards were bent from the start :deal

    You know what it's like in Germany, you have to knock them out just to get a draw. You can't blame Wlad, though, this one is down to the officials.

    Watt predicted and called the fight correctly.

    Unlike McGuigan, who was annoyed post-fight at Haye's failing to live up to his ridiculous fantasy scenario. He'd been "convinced" that Haye would storm in and KO Wlad early.

    McGuigan usually picks pretty good. He blundered big time here. :lol:

    Didn't McGuigan also believe Audley had a good chance as well? :lol:

    No he pretty much told Nelson to STFU when he was talking his chances up before the fight.

    I don't like Haye so when watching the fight in a bar ( where you couldn't hear the commentary ) I tried to score the fight giving Haye the benefit of the doubt and give him as many rounds as possible. At the absolute best case you could make for Haye was that he won 2 rounds. He was destroyed in reality, a master class from Wlad. Haye just couldn't deal with his footwork. Haye found out Wlad is not Valuev very quickly.

    I give Haye 2 rounds (one because Wlad was deducted a point).

    How anybody can even call this fight close is confusing me, it's down to either...

    A) Your officially certified ******ed
    B) Your up Haye's arse so much, that the **** covering your eye's give's you an inability to judge a fight properly.

    That is all

    i watched it at a pub so could not hear the commentary,

    but i had Haye losing the lot,

    PS. Jim Watt is the best commentator in the world ever (and i am being serious)
