13 might not have thrown much but he made them count. Fact.

Let's try it this way. Find me another fighter in the history of the gloved sport, any division, any time who landed fewer than 100 punches in a distance fight and won a strap.

The issue is one of character. How could 13 POSSIBLY have been comfortable he was doing enough to win? It was just bizzarre.

Find me another fighter that gave away 100lb and a foot in height?

13 was comfortable because he wasn't being hit.

You believe Graham Houston is a good judge, right? DAVID HAYE W12 (maj.) NIKOLAI VALUEV

You know size isn't a factor in judging.

Not getting hit isn't enough to win a fight. Especially a title fight.

I've read Houston on this. I also think Kieran Mulvaney knows his stuff and he didn't see it that way. Read the article. Even Houston wondered during the fight if 13 was being too cautious and read the scores at the bottom from other observers.

I don't know how ANYBODY can say they think a fighter who lands eight punches a round should be comfortable they are winning. It's crazy!

13 was comfortable leaving his fate in the hands of the judges. Weird.

Not getting hit isn't good enough. But Haye LANDED 70% to Valuev's 15%. So Haye won easy. Unless you score Valuev for jabbing air.

Bernard Hopkins, Lennox Lewis and Manny Steward said Haye fought a perfect fight.

balls to % landed. That's a matter accuracy. Not damage done
