Re: Am I the only one who actually thought it was a close fight?
Some of the rounds were close bu the scored weren't. I had it 8-4 to Wlad and being a Haye fan I probably was biased with some of the harder rounds to score.
Wlad won the mjaority of the rounds but not a single one of them dominantly or by a huge margin... in that sense it was close but not in the scores. Haye just wasn't busy enough and I suspect Wlad would have caught him and stopped him if he had been.

I had Haye up 3-2 after the 5th round, but I think I only gave him one round after that.
Re: Am I the only one who actually thought it was a close fight?
I had it 8-4, although I'd struggle to find another round for Haye. Although Wlad clearly won, I wouldn't say he dominated him. I consider a very clear, decisive win in which the winner didn't dominate. Kind of like Floyd-Oscar. Haye did much better than I thought he would. I felt he'd probably take one round early & then get completely dominated before getting stopped.
