I've watched the fight properly now and think Haye did enough to win, but it was a stinking bore. Haye/Wlad....who will dare throw a punch....yawn.

I told a mate a week before this fight that due to the intrigue surrounding valuev this would be huge for haye if he were to come away with a win

He`ll make his millions when he gets home thats for sure, us lot on here know he beat the weakest heavyweight of the 3. But the media outlets are having a field day informing everyone how a born and bred brit beat a 7foot 2 monster!!
The BBC is telling everyone Haye is THE Heavyweight champ of the world. Which is true, but it also disregards the fact that there are two better fighters than him with better records who are proven champions also. Haye is a paper belt holder, it isn't as significant as the BBC are making out. I'm genuinely pleased that Haye did well, but the media is going a tad over the top here.
