Haye v Valuev

[MrJan]

THis looks like a crazy fight. David Haye is 6ft 3 but still gives away 9 inches to Valuev and is a massive 7 stone lighter. Not sure if the pace and ferocity of Haye will manage to overcome the awesome power and size of Valuev, if the Brit is going to win then I think he needs to box clever and wait for the big man to tire, although that would risk a big knock out. Either way I'm going to enjoy watching the fight and I'm just happy that we've finally got something on at a reasonable time over here, too many fights are in the US and we have to stay up until 3/4 o'clock to see them live.

Britain's David Haye beat giant Russian Nikolay Valuev on points to be crowned WBA heavyweight champion in Nuremberg.

An exciting and strange fight.

It was more like a fairground game of 'how hard can you hit Valuev'

Was a solid performance from Hayemaker, but the real challenge will be against the Klitcshko brothers. If he can get a fight there, and beat either of them, he will be regarded as one of the greatest british fighters since Lennox Lewis.
