Hope Vladimir wins this one, met him quite a few times and his brother, nice guys and always were always helping kids in Kiev in getting a break into boxing
if it was a personality contest, sure Wlad deserves it, but I believe that Haye would give the boxing blue ribband division the rocket up it's preverbial that it needs
Don't rate haye to be honest, but I am not such a boxing fan these days, so could be talking outa my arse lol
well I was into boxing when hagler was fighting, and later nigel benn, sort of fell out of boxing after that, though do watch the occasional fight
they were defiantely great times. the lack of interest from terrstrial tv over the years has definately damaged the sport
yeah I agree, it was probably the time that sky got involved that boxing fell imo, I remember tyson fighting in his prime, and vividly remember the bruno foght with him, was working in plymouth at the time, and the whole place ground to a halt to watch the fight on tv, we were all sitting around drinking beers with the customers at about 2am lol
completely agree.... anyhow i reckon you got your man deserved the win, haye deffo didnt do enough but the scorecards were definately a bit harsh
yeah didn't watch it but just seen the report on bbc, as I said haye is not as good as he thinks he is
hope so, he made this a grudge fight, seen the interviews where he wouldn't even speak to vlad directly, just childish , but anyway he needs to concentrate on fighting rather than the media high he revels in, he should take lessons from Joe Calzaghe who has been a gent and a great fighter
seems he isn't. he is blaming the fact he broke his big toe 3 weeks ago which stopped him launching his attacks - he just took off his shoe and showed it to the watching HBO audience
wow - suprised they didn't suggest getting the link free from an illegal stream! Ah well, my link worked fine and I didn't have to pay £15

His poor pinky..... broken toes are the norm in martial arts, even during fights/tournaments. You simply get your coach to strap it up and away you go. Granted it hurts but, pardon the pun, those are the breaks! As he was complaining about a failure to launch his attack I thought it might at least be his big toe, but hils little pinky LOL. That has no real issue when rising from the flat stance to launch forward from the ball of the foot/big toe. ah well, so much for the possible lesson in humility Makes me even gladder I didn't pay for it
