Haye knows that he can't take it to points, as it's in Germany, so I think it'll end about halfway through, one way or the other.
I'm going to go for Haye, more out of hope than anything.
The Ukrainian's an exceptionally dull, if effective, boxer.

An unfortunately accurate assessment of him, wasn't it?
Boring as hell, but his jab, Haye's lack of balance and his pushing won him his fourth belt.
How he was allowed to get away with that bit of wrestling when he was caught in the final round is beyond me, but Haye simply didn't deserve to win tonight.
He couldn't get close enough to land anything effective and he didn't take a risk near the end, when it was his only chance.
Shame.
Haye will probably quit now.
He's not a natural heavyweight anyway, there's basically nobody worth fighting and there's no-one in his own division, either.
Boxing needs to sort itself out.
There are too many belts, too much filler and not enough big fights.
Most of them disappoint, too.

First Murray and now Haye, the disappointment continues.
Haye talking about having a broken toe for 3 weeks makes him look a fool in my opinion.

exactly Croatiaspur....i bet he would not have mentioned that had he won
regardless of how boring klitscho (sp) was..he kept his mouth shut and did a job...constant jabbing one..what did you expect him to do? be dynamic and risk getting floored?
on the other hand it was Haye who was gobbing for the last month and did nothing in the ring..as for being pushed to the floor..Haye was looking for it..it was as though he thought the only way to win was to take points away from Klitchko
the right man won

The good thing about his defeat is that maybe now he won't keep appearing on TV acting like the saviour of boxing.
I think Klitschko will have gained a lot of fans here in the UK with the way he conducted himself during the pre-fight and post-fight interviews and press conferences.

Haye has absolutely no shame. He got outclassed and then had the audacity to flung his little toe out and point to it as some sort of excuse. He previously pulled out of a clash with big Wlad in 2009 i think. He is not a challenger - he didn't challenge Klitschko in a single round imo. Makes absolutely no sense in boxing terms to have any sort of a rematch. He doesn't deserve another huge payday, which it transpires was all that he was after anyway. He was laughing not long after the final bell, probably thinking of the 10m cheque he was about to pick up for running away for 12 rounds.
