He's charismatic, articilate, unified the cruiserweight division away from home, has just won a portion of the Heavy title away from home and most of his fights are exciting tear ups. However, you haven't truly "arrived" until people in this country start giving you **** for no reason. :roll: Congratulations David, you have officially "made it"
he didn't deserve it. go back to reading the Sun you flag waving loon. If a German fighter came here and beat one of our boys with a broken hand, five hooks per round and a general performance like that you'd be the first to condemn the atrocity. Haye was poor and didn't deserve this fanfare, so apologies if I politely sip my pint and abstain from all this bull****.
Even if the other guy landed less and spent all night chasing his man clumsily around the ring, like a drunk elephant?
You should have saved some time and taken your own advice.....only a blind, ******ed boxing hating nun would have scored that fight for Valuev...now, back to your pint Mother Superior
Valuev didn't land less, that is a myth. He landed jabs all night, soft as they were. He was up on all media scorecards, including Ring Magazine. And coming forward "clumsily" 'like a drunk elephant' has always carried more points than backing away like a five year old girl. laterz.
Coming forward scores nothing, or Ricky Hatton would have been leading Floyd when it came to the knock out. It only counts if it's having a genuine effect on your opponent.
This is the criteria used to score pro fights: Clean Punching Effective Aggression Ring Generalship Defense Haye easily landed the better punches, Valuev's aggression was ineffective, hard to determine who the ring general was but you could make a case it was Valuev and Haye's defence was miles better. :hi:
No he wasn't. Associated Press had Haye winning. German TV commentators had Haye winning. BBC Radio 5 Live had Haye winning. ESPNs Dan Rafael who had said Haye would be KOd and who clearly dislikes him had Haye winning. Eurosport had Haye winning. So erm...what on earth are you talking about?
Dougie Fischer who writes for the Ring's website also had it for Haye. I think Claude Abrams (who picked Valuev) had Haye winning.
