Declan I can see your point but think your underrating Wlad

He's a very good boxer but lacks that X factor if you like that makes good fighters great. Doesn't help I suppose that there is a real lack of talent in the division. Let the brothers at it!!

Another bucket mouth Brit bites the dust making the mandatory excuses as we speak.   Twat.

Shite fight but at least Klitschko beat that hateful bastard

Heavyweight boxing needs a smaller,faster more exciting Tyson like boxer, tonight's fight was just another predictable boring bout.

[Tony Baloney]

Haye embarrassed himself. Should be paying for the lesson.

Didn't hear that, but must say I enjoyed the fight. Not a to and fro classic but thought Wlad put on a boxing clinic and proved himself a worthy champ, he has been doubted for a long time.

After all his trash talk, which I thought he took too far, I was happy to see him humiliated. Make no mistake despite Sky talking about a valiant performance he was humiliated.

Excuses coming from Haye now - broken toe he says.

Heavyweight is exacly that.  If you are 16 stone you can only fight to your talents.   Don't expect 13 stone Ali types anytime soon but thankfully there enough about of fighters about to keep odious little tramps like Haye in their box.  It;s just a pity he didnt leave the ring on a stretcher.

That's a bit harsh. Booth is hard enough to like though - very ungracious I thought.

can the judges not score a round a draw because i didnt think either boxer did enough to win most of them especially to win by 8/9 rounds. Haye offered very little but wlad just stood behind his jab... very boring to watch

[CiKe]

to be fair to the boys in the Sky studio they're basically saying Haye is whinging and making excuses...

I disagree, he preformed well

Not for a man who said he'd send his opponent to the hopsital in an ambulance and compares the ease of a win to gang-rape.   Ill-health retirement would be too good for him.

You're right he talked a good talk

[pullhard]

what were his tactics? hard to know. he was yapping from the get go. Klitschko boxed beautifully and did everything he had to do. Certainly he is not going to be the biggest fan favourite as he is inherently cautious, but he boxed the perfect fight - as the scorecards reflect.

McGuigan is talking through his arse, the ref was "disgusting" and he agrees with Adam Booth? Haye was never balanced and milked every opportunity he got to got he canvas. He took a point off Wlad initially, and right enough Haye should not have got a count but he SHOULD have had a point deducted for constantly going to the canvas too easily.
