It wasn't boxing as I like to see but just hit and run tactics. No wonder the crowd was booing at times. Well done to David Haye. I wonder if the brothers from the Ukraine will be up next.

You did the same as me you cheeky devil ?

Thank goodness for the French !!!

It was from a classic but it was never going to be one. You would have to be very brave/stupid to stay inside against Valuev. The guy has no technique but his reach and power ensure you need to stay on the outside

Regardless of how good a performance it was, he's just put himself in the running for Sports Personality of the Year, though Button will win it.

***ahem*** Im politely Informed mine was Polish

As a (very bad) boxer I have to say I enjoyed the fight. Ok it wasn't a classic but Hayes did everything he needed to do against a freak of nature like Valuev. At leather the boxer won. Have to say it was worried just before the score cards were read. I have to wonder whether "higher powers" may have had an influence on the decision? The saving grace is that at least the Heavyweight Division is worth watching again. Roll on Ruiz and then bring on the brothers.

Haye boxed smart, it was the only way he could have fought someone with such physical advantages. I thought it was enjoyable to see a boxer using his brains!

No basically you're right. Heavy weight boxing atm is dire, pacquiao v cotto next week tho should be just a completly different level to this. I just hope manny hasnt become too much of a celeb to concentrate on his fighting.

dont like to say i told you soo but Haye wore him out. Couldnt box to he's full ptential wither he broke hes hand in the 3rd. Good for boxing will get exciting fights for the belts now

tbh i didnt expect Haye to win, am not the biggest boxing fan but was still happy that Haye won, didnt pay to watch it went out on the lash instead got the result in one of the clubs i was in so am happy.
