    After the inital excuse of the broken toe, now the dust has settled. Would people agree that Haye & Booth have been pretty gracious in defeat ?

    From what Ive seen Haye has admitted Klit was better, the toe wasn't an excuse, and that critics are entitled to slate him because he talked a good fight but didnt deliver, and that he is no longer in a strong bargaining position.

    Considering all the pre-fight crap they need to do a little 'extra' to be Gracious, especially since right now they look more like they're wrangling and positioning for a rematch.

    All in all I would say yes, but the toe-gate was unneccessary and disgraceful.

    I wouldnt say they have gone overboard looking for a rematch though ?

    I actually fully expected them to go quiet after all the trash talking so was pleasantly surprised he has taken it on the chin and admitted after all his trash talking he fully understands any stick he gets.

    Phony victory celebration, utter sour grapes directly after the fight, its pretty obvious. Realising you made a dick of yourself by acting arrogantly after a lopsided defeat and then going into damage control doesn't undo this.

    Booth has acted with class though.

    He could have acted with less class, but gracious isn't the correct word.

    Haye was a sore loser, with his terrible "bad pinky toe" excuse.

    Adam Booth was classy.

    They have both been very respectful. Anyone who says differently is biased.

    Booth has been not too bad,but Haye has only changed due to being hammered from all directions,except the blind and biased.To listen to Haye in the 2 days post fight was embarrassing to say the least but thats the nature of the man.
