Am I the only one that thinks Valuev was not hurt in the 12th, he just slipped
Go back and watch the replay, Haye taps him with a left that hardly connects and Valuev slips and then shakes his head. I definitely don't think he was hurt

I don't think he was as hurt as it looked from a far, but he definetly felt it
He didn't seem all that hurt to me either. A little trip and immediately grinning as if to say "yeah, right!".
It was an atrocious fight and Haye is very lucky to get out of there with the win. There was no sense of urgency about him whatsover which was worrying.
Against either Klitschko he would fall well behind as they would just build up the points by simply doing more than him.
Maybe the hand really was a factor, but if not then this is no a good sign for Haye. Others have performed better against Valuev than that, including an ancient Holyfield.
Thankfully I did not pay for it, but will watch the repeat.![]()
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I'm watching it again now. He didn't slip. His legs deserted him quite badly. It wasn't a clean shot really. Probably down to tiredness aswell. There was no tangle of legs, he didn't slip on the canvas, his legs went, then he shook his head whilst looking rather confused. He then grabbed Haye and held until the referee broke them up.

Valuev was hurt. If Haye catches Wlad with some of those shots he'll knock him out. He'll struggle with Vitali though as the man has the work rate power and chin.
It was a terrible fight, but that was Haye's best chance of winning given the physical differences.
I knew Haye had won as soon as I saw Don King trying to muscle in with him, what was it he said after the Fraiser/Foreman fight? "I came with the champ and I left with the champ"
Haye did land more punches, and more good punches, than Valuev who apart from always walking forward did very little else.
So the ends justify the means. I don't rate Ruiz but I think he is an ideal oppenent for Haye and hopefully an opponent he can look good against/
