Yeah, well done to him anyway. He comes across very very well in interviews I think when he's not trash talking.
It'll probably be Ruiz, but Haye vs either Klitschko (preferably Vitali) would be excellent.

I think that last round swayed it for him.

Yep. Though makes you think what he could have done if he went for it a it more around Rounds 10-12. Perhaps dropped the giant. But his tactics defensively were good except he wasn't countering enough for my liking and the decision could have easily gone Valuev's way.
But whatever, I'm happy anyway.. lets get a bit more excitement back in the heavyweight division. Haye vs Klitschko will be a good'un. Doubt David would beat either of them (as they're a lot more mobile than Valuev whilst still being huge), though the younger Klitschko is a bit more chinny and could be caught by a 'hayemaker'.

i didn't think he did enough to be honest. bar the last round i think he was working on a strategy that meant you dropped points for every punch the giant missed.
both fighters will go home having been hit more and had more damage done to them in sparring than in a 12 round fight for the heavyweight championship of the world.
pleased for him though

So it's a night of victory for the 'little' man.
Ruiz next... it was in the contract that the winner faced Ruiz as he was the number one challenger. Ruiz stepped aside as he didn't feel ready for Valuev.
Only thing that went against Valuev is that even though he was agressive in going forward, he probably landed only about 5% of his punches.
A boring fight, executed to perfection by Haye... Expect more of the same unfortunately against Vitali.

Woohoo. I'm so pleased for Haye, the fight wasn't particularly exciting, Haye was almost too rigid with his fight plan, I think Valuev's wobble in the 12th made it clear that if Haye had gone for it a bit earlier he could have maybe knocked him out, although Haye reckons he broke his hand at some point during the fight so had to use hs right hand (the Hayemaker) sparingly. Nonetheless, I'm well chuffed for him. Although I was woried until the result was announced, you never know how the judges are gonna score it, especially with him being the away figher. Watt on Sky had it down as a Valuev win!
Oh and behave guys, I don't think I've ever fancied a boxer ever. [size=4pt]Apart from Floyd.[/size]

I love Jim Watt.
He winds me up. He reminds me of Lawro, he's super negative leading up to a fight and then afterwards if the British fighter wins, he's all about the glory.
He was slating Haye in the build up to this fight, and after he won he was banging on about how pleased he was for him.

He was right though
I mean thinking Valuev had won. Most people did, though I can see why Haye did.
As I said earlier, Haye comes across very well when he wants to, I just wish he'd cut some of the shite out.
Haye vs Vitali would be very interesting.

Did you see Haye's wife, I mean, really?
I think I really hate him cos he *always* slates Floyd. Always. He just hates any fighter that I luuuuurve.
Jim Watt's a big stupid head.

Oh, I can't stand Mayweather when I saw him with that moron.
Which interview? Where they kept accusing him of ducking fighters cos he won't fight Mosely and he kept talking about what paid the bills?
I do love Mayweather, but he reall doesn't do himself any favours sometimes.

After that Marquez fight they put Floyd in a ridiculous situation, trying to goad him into a slanging match with Mosley and making him look a twat for not fighting him. The HBO guys made a right balls up of it.
It would have been better if Floyd just said Shane is shit and Manny is better.

Oh, and I hope Floyd vs Manny does happen. Floyd will destroy him.
