    Would he knocked Valuev out if his power hand (his right) never got injured in the second? remember he made his legs go to jelly in the last round with his left that wasn't even thrown properly!

    Also should he have thrown more body blows? every time he hit Valuev to the body it stunned him in his tracks each time.

    They just showed his hand on SSN, ****ing hell, its twice the size of his other one!

    And yeah, I think he would have ko'd him.

    Yep he should've been more active. I don't know why he didn't throw more left hooks Howevers its all moot as he clearly won anyway.

    Maybe someone could post a pic of his hand on the gf. It might shut a few of the idiots up there.
    Though somehow I doubt it.:patsch

    the left look seemed to catch valuev on the back of that block of flats he call his head.no wonder he hurt his hand.
    could he have KO'd him ,had he opened up earler ??

    It seemed to me as if Valuev had prepared pretty well for the right hand. When Haye did throw it, it never really landed properly.

    True, but he hardly even threw it and when he did it still landed half the time still. It was his head that broke (or badly damaged) it after all.

    I was thinking this too, even jabs made Valuev stop and regroup. I would have thought that with the injured hand Haye may found the body a better target.

    I can't complain about Haye's tactics though, they were obviously spot on.
