That is complete bollocks!
Who cares? I do.
Boxing is a great sport. The guys that get in the ring are fantastic athletes. The skill, power and fitness required beats every other sport hands down.
Haye is a good technical fighter. The UK should be proud of him.

Where did i criticize boxing? i love the sport.i criticized Heavyweight boxing.Which is a joke.Remember Roy Jones jr a middleweight won a version of the heavyweight crown.
The way I read your post it seemed like you had a downer on Boxing as a whole...although I don't agree with you that heavyweight is comparable to WWF (or whatever)
Admittedly there's been a lack of great heavyweight fighters recently, but every division goes through weak periods. There are some good young fighters around, some might even get a chance of the big time if Haye can break the Klitch-bro's unfair and corrupt dominance of the division.
If he keeps focused and with a bit of luck Tyson Fury might even come good in a few years.
Anyway, Haye's tactics last night were spot on. It was a great performance.
I still dont see how they gave him the points decision but WELL DONE HAYE
The judges were probably shitting themselves due to the massive crowd from Millwall traveling up to support him

the big fucker was not hitting him, haye was two quick. The game plan worked, and no other boxer has made valuev legs wobble like that
i thought haye was a bit slow to react to that wobble by beast, he didnt seem to realise he had a knock out chance quick enough giving the ugly guy time to get his composure back

Yea thought that as well though i also thought the ref jumped in a bit to quick as well when he did catch him

the klitchko haye saga will be a much better spectacle!
Exactly mate perfect fight by Haye even if it was not pretty to watch and I for one cannot wait for the fight against Klitschko (either one of the fuckers will do)

my only worry is that haye will have lost some potential fans as the fight was talked up so much, for what was ultimatly very boring
