Who'll win? Haye is very fast, but I don't think he's come up against a true heavyweight yet.... Interesting fight coming up...
Haye needed to get inside and turn this into a brawl, not bobbing and weaving and waiting for the big punch (his nickname aside). Klitschko did what he always does, and jabbed him to oblivion. Poor strategy by Haye and his corner.
If Haye had tried to get inside, which is very difficult with that constant hard jab, then Wladimir would have had so much time to just tie him up, let alone pushing down his head on the way in. It's also worth bearing in mind Haye himself has always had chin and stamina issues, a brawl would have got him KOed. Haye was just too small to stand a chance with his skillset, also Wladimir has learnt to use his size and pace himself too well now, he's not as vulnerable as he was. Only a prime Tyson could give away that much size difference against him and still have a chance to win.
I was there - and the result was as predicted by myself and almost all non-Brit boxing fans. Fairly boring fight, but good event to be at.
After having practically abandoned boxing (in favour of following the UFC) this was one fight I was getting excited about. End result? Boooooring. After all the hype, Haye did nothing, and Klitschko fought a boring fight. Haye blaming the loss on a broken little toe was pretty embarassing too. Especially after watching guys in the UFC keep banging with broken arms or hematomas the size of watermelons! It'll take Pacquiao-Mayweather (or something like it) to get me to watch boxing again.
It'll take that AND a non-sh*t heavyweight class to get me interested again. How many fookin' belts are out there now anyways? Unify!
Boxing is in fact my 2nd favourite sport and outside of Spurs games I probably get more excited for fights I'm looking forward to than any non-Spurs match.
