Am I the only one who actually thought it was a close fight?

[tysonesque]

I think big George had it even going in to the last couple of rounds.

I've no idea what fight he was watching.

[Hulk]

Haye certainly landed the HARDER shots and the power punches, its just there were so few of them.

Wlad simply pressed the fight and landed a good amount of pawing jabs as well as some stiff ones.

I was rooting for Haye and gave him 4 rounds. 5 would be a stretch.

But I think 4 rounds is fair.

10-2 is too much in my opinion.

[:::PSL:::]

I only gave Haye round 3 and 4. The point deduction was bs.

[J_C]

Had it 8-4 Wlad. There were an absolute ton of rounds that were close though due to the lack of punches being landed so I can see any score that didnt have Haye winning being legitimate.

[AdamGB]

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.

This is exactly how I saw it. I scored it 8 - 4 but that was with a little bias. Haye was never hurt or in trouble but he simply couldn't land on Wlad.

I'd like to see a Vitali fight and I'm one of the few who'd still watch a rematch. Haye's ego won't let him retire and the amount of $$$'s this fight made makes another Klit Vs Haye fight all the more certain.

[CFH]

I had Haye up 3-2 after the 5th round, but I think I only gave him one round after that.

[JazMerkin]

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.

Hahaha, fantastic sig, never seen one like that before!

Yeh, I think it was after 9 or 10 he had it even

[ICB]

David Haye did nothing except fall to the floor, and run like a rabbit for the most of the fight. You have to actually throw and land punches to make a fight close, i had it a shutout.

[tysonesque]

I've just watched an interview with Haye and the guy is delusional. Even now he's still talking out of his arse and blaming it all on his little toe and saying Wlad won't want to fight him when he's 100%.

He even said that Wlad would avoid a rematch because he doesn't want to fight a dangerous fighter like Haye again. If he thinks running away like a pussy and throwing himself on the canvas every couple of minutes makes him dangerous he's an ever bigger twat than I thought.

I didn't think Haye took many big punches, but he must have because he's lost his already loose grip on reality altogether!

What a complete c**t!

if Sharmba Mitchell can get a rematch with Kostya Tszyu....

Anyway, I thought the fight was closer too. Not close like 7-5 though.

But I saw a lack of action from both sides, Haye had great defense for a heavyweight but he is what Emanuel Stewart said, he isn't a counter puncher, so he's either making you miss or trying to hit you but can't do both in fluidity with each other unless its off a feint. haye made Wladimir give him a lot of openings like constantly feint baiting his left hook each time, but didn't make him pay for it. Openings were there, Haye just took them briefly in the 3rd and the 4th and the 12th. Lots in between that were some close rounds. But I thought he for sure won the 3rd 4th and the 12th, so gave him 3, and with the closeness of the rounds could have been 4.

I'm probably in the minority but I thought the twelfth was one of wlads most dominant rounds he gets poped with two good punches, gives five good ones back.

Ali-Frazier 3 is a close fight.
Pac-JMM 2 is a close fight.
Ali-Norton 2 and 3 are close fights.
De La Hoya-Quartey is a close fight.
Morales-Barerra 1 is a close fight.

Wlad-Haye is not a close fight. A close fight would mean that if Haye got the decision almost no one would complain. But in this case if Haye got a decision yesterday, it would be called an outright robbery for Wlad and would be up there with Whitaker-Ramirez 1.

Look quite a few of his fans wanted Haye to win and I understand that, but let's not be delusional.
