Just watch MMA instead, it's a far superior form of fighting.

Haye or Valuev are not great examples of boxing, next week we will see a proper boxing fight.

Haye is a cock and Valuev appears to be a decent geezer. I hope Valuev slaps him about and quickly, so I can watch SSN again without hearing about it every 5 minutes.

 

You have to consiser how much boxing wishes it was still relevant now.

 

adjective will fix these

So I gather you have evidence of how poor the ratings/buys were for this fight?

no, this wasn't advertised much in my market, first i've heard

edit: sorry for just shitting on this thread and boxing. i do find these sort of matchups interesting, but i think usually, these monster vs. fighter type matchups are freakshow / ratings draws. i don't think this is a step in the right direction for boxing

exactly. valuev is everything a champion or good boxer shouldn't be. just a big guy who can overwhelm everyone.

even foreman had great ring intelligence and lewis had finesse.

Lewis would manhandle Valuev(illage).

As would Foreman. Hell any of the true heavyweight champs would.

i mean

proof positive

Holyfield in his mid fucking 40s almost beat Valuev. the guy is a joke.

yeah it was slightly anti-climactic but not every good fight needs a KD.

anything valuev threw, you could see it coming long before he even thought of it. i actually think he's slightly retarded and is being exploited. haye played it like a game of chess as he should have, patiently picked his way in, gradually getting the points, using his speed and agility. i think he only lost a couple of rounds. he said after the fight that punching valuev in the head was like punching solid stone but even so, he managed to shake him a couple of times and he was trying to win instead of running away all the time.

at least i robbed a fiver from my mate who reckoned noone could possibly beat the big guy.

apparently haye broke his hand on valuev's jaw
