Who won the staredown - Haye or Valuev?

it means nothing

 

I'm always trying to look at that sort of stuff, body language etc to see if I can read the signs of someone being nervous, scared etc. Generally though it counts for nothing.

They said Ricky Hatton was the first person to win the psychological battle with Floyd, the first to get under his skin, and look what happened.

When Ricky had the staredown with Manny, Manny didn't want any of it. He looked away, was smiling and laughing, and people said he was nervous, intimidated etc. Again, same result.

Last night Martin Rogan looked like a possesed man against Sexton. Sexton looked like a dopy student. Same result.

I think a lot of this psychology stuff is bs, like crossing your arms is supposed to be a defensive mechanism etc. IMO, if someone is truly secure, they don't bother with mind games or care about if their opponent looks away before they do etc.

But to answer your question, I don't know

 

Haye without a doubt

 

analysing weigh-ins is for girls.

 

as said it means nothing. abraham looked nervous as **** before fighting taylor and we all saw the result

 

Nope, he was outdone when it came to mind games. In the earlier promotion events he remained all smiles and kept his cool while Floyd acted like a fool and kept intimidating him.

In the last week or so he got increasingly edgy and seemed to be genuinely annoyed at Floyd, while Floyd looked like he didn't care too much.

And on fight night, Mayweather was relaxed but focused when he walked into the ring, and even during the fight, while Hatton looked tense coming in and didn't focus properly during the fight (turning his back towards Floyd, etc...)

Floyd smarter than he looks. He acts like a complete fool and pretends to take it easy, but in reality he trains really hard and comes completely focused to the ring.

 

Haye, without a doubt.

 

King

 

I thought he was selling flags!!!...:nut

 

Valoeuv. As was proven in the ring. Haye ran like a coward and hardly threw punch. Jim Watt was correct.

 

Valuev.........













He was the only one staring down :hi:

 

Valuev won. Haye looked scared shitless.
