I watched it 4 times and scored it differently 3 times 114 114 115 113 Haye 115 113 Valuev 115 113 Haye Sad, but I give it to Haye for eeking it out. Valuev should have grabbed his little ass and beat him in a clinch. Lose the points or the fight by DQ, not by being potshotted.
I didnt score it. After the performance I was surprised that Haye won the fight. I dont say that he didnt deserve the win. I only had in my mind the fight with Holyfield, who did more to win than Haye and still lost. A few weeks after the fight everything was clear, Sauerland had options on 3 Haye fights. This is why David was allowed to win in Germany. Holyfield simply wasnt allowed to win.
Bunce did have Haye 4 rounds ahead. The point was that Jack stated rather emphatically that anyone who scored 4 rounds to Valuev didn't know how to score a fight. I'm not going to dispute the point that general sports journalists are used to cover boxing frequently. What I do take exception to is the arrogant claim, from someone on an internet forum, that if anyone disputes their subjective opinion then they must be unable to score boxing.
