Valuev was terrible, judging was even worse

I just saw the fight this morning. I wanted Valuev to win so there is no bias here, because this fight was not even close. Haye easily won this fight. I had him winning about 8/9 rounds.

Valuev's tactics were ****. Just plodding forward, throwing the jab, hitting air, not even trying anything different. No feints, not enough doubling up on the jab. Hell, with his size, he should just be able to swarm that mother****er. Even if he didn't land, just get ****in close, turn it into an ugly brawl, start leaning on the motherucker, chest hair and sweat all in his face, but no. He just stayed at a distance the whole time even though it was clearly not working.

I've never seen a boxer who fails to use his strengths as much as Valuev. WTF was he doing, trying to be Paulie Malignaggi in there?

Now the judging was even worse. One dude had it even? Now that's a robbery attempt if I ever saw one. The others rightfully gave it to Haye but they still had it closer than they should have IMO.

A bad night for boxing. Luckily the right result was made in the end, but this shows there is a lot of ****ed up **** in this great sport. It's beyond excusable that the judge scored it even. Like the judges in Malignaggi/Diaz, Holyfield/Valuev, Froch/Dirrell, he won't be held accountable.

On the plus side, credit to Haye. He's a cheap trashtalker who's not even that good at it, and I hope one of the Klits tears him a new one, but he stuck to the right gameplan last night. This could actually be good for boxing. Credit where credit is due, no point in me being a hater.

Also my prediction was correct, that Haye would win a decision, although the fight went a little differently than I thought it would. Haye targeted the head earlier than I thought he would and there was no clinching. Still, Freddie Roach was wrong, I was right:yep
