A tough one to call this one like, my heart wants Haye to win but my head cant see it if i am honest. Valuev is just too fucking big and awkward, and with a reach like he has it will be difficult for Haye to keep out of his way. Saw the stats from the weigh in earlier, cant believe he has a 48 inch waist man, that just gives you an idea of the sheer size of the fucker, weighing nearly 23 stone which is nearly the lightest he has ever been?? I hope Haye does it though, will be on points if so IMO and will need to use his speed to get in and out landing shots without getting hit.
The more Valuev fights I watch the more I think Haye stands a chance, but saying that I bet the 52 people he fought before that were thinking the same haha.
betfair have hayes rnd 1 KO 32-1 he's going to come out like a whippet but after 4 rounds he'll be out of steam.
Have you not seen the shape he's in lol And i don't think he's ever gassed in a fight yet, I think he'll be a lot more strategic than to run in head first.
Ive ended up ordering this lol, Hayes got skills and big power and his staminas decent, but whether a powerful 16 stoner can hurt that monster is something else altogether and Hayes chin isnt the best.Im suprised how excited I am for it like lol
I enjoyed the fight personally like, it was never going to be a classic in the traditional style though as a tactical battle i thought it was well worth watching . Was surprised he got the verdict if i am honest, didnt think he did enough in most rounds on the offense though he reckons he broke his right hand in the 3rd which held him back a bit going forward. He impressed me though in being able to change his style completely from the Haye we know to suit the opponent, and i am glad that he got the win as it will hopefully give the division a kick up the arse from how its been the past few years. Haye
Valuev was awful like, he done nothing but throw jabs for 12 rounds. Yes Haye didn't do loads but who'd be stupid enough to stand toe to toe with someone that size, he got in and got out and threw the only meaningful punches in the whole fight.
abso kicking myself today for no lumping on Haye to win on points after 12 rds. he was NEVER going to even attempt to knock Valuev out as he couldnt and he was always going to keep his distance from him, yet hes a miles better boxer than the russian. So he danced just out of distance and landed a few text book boxing hits, and wins on points Such a obvious bet i can beleive i didnt see it
never gonna knock him out? A few more shots like the one Haye finally pulled out in the 12th and he would have gone down. Wonder what would have happened if he hadn't hurt his hand in the third.
Looks like the cocky cunt can back it up, I dont know what the commentators were on about saying they thought valuev would win it, it wasnt even close, Haye took the piss out of him, had he not broke his hand in the second round I think it would have been a knockout aswell
really looking forward to seeing him fight again like, hopefully he can mix up the show boating and arrogance with the discipline he showed last night, gonna be a real handful for anyone if he does
Looks like Ruiz next fight, should be a nice easy one,c I'd like to seem him fight chagaev before he fights either klitschko
really enjoyed watching this because after the 2nd i just knew Haye was going to win. not the best fight really but a massive massive win.
Bored the fucking tits off me. Managed 6 rounds before i buggered off out the pub. Dont watch much boxing, but even by my own standards it was dire. That Russian looked in shocking condition.
