# Am I too slow with this?


I don't normally bother with boxing, but I watched this on Saturday night and enjoyed every second. news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/8348302.stm

# ^ this
Well, not unless there is a very small door for me to escape through.

# I didn't bother, but fully expected to wake to the news that David Haye had been turned into splat, a la Ricky Hatton

# That's why I agreed to go watch the fight with my mate.
I thought Hayes would have his face punched off, so it was good to learn that boxing is a skilful sport not just a competition of who is the biggest meathead.

# Pfft!
I saw him on the One Show - he doesn't much look like a heavyweight boxer when he isn't topless.

# He ISN'T a heavywieght boxer.

# I'm confused. Doesn't the link say he's the heavyweight champion?
Edit: I looked again and it says he fought in the WBA heavyweight title fight. Why'd he do that if he's not a heavyweight? *baffled*

# That was something like his fourth ever heavyweight fight.

# Did it look like a convincing victory?
Or at least an even fight? I was expecting Haye to get stomped.

I'm somewhat doubtful of the WBA's honesty in these matters. When it comes to points decisions, they often appear to go with whomever is likely to pull in big audiences in the long term.

# I could have counted the number of punches Valuev landed on one hand.
Hayes ducked every swing with lightning reactions. It was a joy to watch. Then in the last round, he just unleashed a volley of blows that made Valuev look like a zombie.

# Ta. I'm pleased to hear it.
