[chrisfinch]

So much for that ten rounder, eh?:lol:

[Lewisbell]

Not bad for Groves, His opponent was only KOd once previously to the monster Oganov and even then that was the corner pulling him out

[Lewisbell]

Congrats to Pulev to beating Olukun, that is one of the hardest 'novice' fights ever

[ishy]

Shit!!! :shock:

Any news on Helenius-Bidenko?

[cupid]

What time Haye vs Valueu is on ??

[Lewisbell]

8:00 SBO starts. just after 9:30 is the approx start time for Haye vs Valuev

[cupid]

cheers levisbell:good

[Lewisbell]

Shit!!! :shock:

Any news on Helenius-Bidenko?
Helenius W TKO4

[royalt0208]

Good to see Groves get rounds in the bank will be interesting to see how he looked on Sky. If he looked good I would like to see him against one of Nathan King or Danny Thornton before the years out in either a 6 or 8 rounder.

[ishy]

Helenius W TKO4

Thanks :good

Two great wins for HW prospects. Maybe the future is bright.

[royalt0208]

Thanks :good

Two great wins for HW prospects. Maybe the future is bright.

On box rec they have Robert Helenius listed to fight Lamon Brewster in December. If that is true then that is one impressive step up and if he manages to win then the future would most certainly seem to look bright for the young Finn.

But he got beat by Oloukun who has just got beat by Pulev (Pulev vs. Helenius in 2014)

[royalt0208]

But he got beat by Oloukun who has just got beat by Pulev (Pulev vs. Helenius in 2014)

Was that at amateur, I though Helenius was 10-0? The German Heavyweight scene really is awesome, they have most of the top Heavyweight prospects (Tyson Fury my arse) and something like 50% of the top 50 heavyweights are based in Germany.

No, in the pro ranks a month or so back, and I agree Germany has all the best talent

[Maza1987]

cant wait for this fukin talking to stop.
my head will explode just before the bell.

cheaaa

[PrideOfWales]

what time is the main event?

[Maza1987]

10pm

[PrideOfWales]

10pm

Thanks Maza1987

[TommyV]

Was that at amateur, I though Helenius was 10-0?

He means Brewster just got beat by Oloukun. Regardless, Brewster is still a tough fight at this stage for Helenius & an impressive name on his record should that fight come off and he get the win.

[Ilesey]

I'd just like to say and I mean this sincerely.....































































WAR HAYE!

i'm well hyped for this.

knowing my luck, the baby will start crying just as the fight starts

Sorry just realised that me being a dozy twat.
Still a fairly decent step up for the kid, not many heavyweight prospects are put in with former heavyweight champions in their 11th pro fight.

[Dan684]

Who's on now ?

[ishy]

I think they're showing Groves first.

[Ilesey]

Yeah, Groves on now.

Nice little build up from Haye. He looks very confident and I wish him all the best tonight. In an hour or so we could have a British heavyweight champion of the world.

[Mandanda]

8 rounds....thought it be 10. Nice workout fight for Groves..bit more exposure can't be a bad thing. Looking slick although against limited opposition.

[ishy]

Fuckers cut out round 2

[Lewisbell]

And round 2 collapsed into a black hole

[Evil Dead]

you all paid for this fight?

[Ilesey]

Fuckers cut out round 2

I will be asking SKY for 53p of my money back then. Robbing coonts. :twisted:

[Flea Man]

Groves boxes in a Haye-like manner.

[Lee Mc]

Groves looked excellent...

[Lee Mc]

Bollcks, I've just remembered that John Ruiz is on soon... :-(

[jc333]

Groves looks to be a very classy boxer. It would have been nice to see a few more of the rounds.

[ishy]

Haye seems calm and relaxed.

[Ilesey]

Haye stealing a chair. Nice one.

[Ilesey]

Haye seems calm and relaxed.

Yeah, I remember when the interviewed Hatton before he fought Mayweather and he looked a bag of nerves. Haye looked confident and seems as if he is slowly being brought to boil.

[jc333]

You would have thought that there would have been a chair in his room already provided.

[jc333]

Just paid 15 quid for a Sky PPV?

Rather than show you full bouts of boxing, we thought that we would pad out your viewing pleasure with several pointless minutes of non-requested adverts.

Cunts.

And I can't even record the adverts to DVD so I can rewatch them later. :-(

[ishy]

Haye stealing a chair. Nice one.

:yep

[jc333]

And I can't even record the adverts to DVD so I can rewatch them later. :-(

:rofl:rofl:rofl

[ishy]

Ruiz looking shit against a journeyman, no sense of urgency at all. Just going through the motions.

[Lewisbell]

Gerber seems limited

[Dan684]

Ooooh what did Lee Mc post at #41 ??????

[rooq]

how come you are seeing ruiz?

[rooq]

i don't know whats live and whats not...

[djoc175]

How do you order with Virgin media??

[slapbangwhallop]

how come you are seeing ruiz?

I'm watching Ruiz on a american channel - what are SKY showing?

[ishy]

US channel

[hitman_hatton1]

crap undercard.

could have done with buying the dawson-johnson fight.

[rooq]

sky just showed Gerber...a german hw prospect, beat the american guy chiosra bear a while back

[Tuffnutz]

Why are'nt sky showing the Ruiz fight live?

[ishy]

Why are'nt sky showing the Ruiz fight live?

Trust me, you don't want to see it.

[antcull]

Helenius showing on Sky :good

[Ilesey]

And should Valuev win, we get to see Valuev - Ruiz 3.

[Lewisbell]

Helenius vs. Bidenko now

[rooq]

now they are showing helenius.

i bet sky just show the haye fight live and everything else will be jiggled around

[ishy]

Helenius showing on Sky :good

:twisted: I want to see that

[TFFP]

Showing Helenius, 'The Nordic Nightmare' :lol::happy

[Tuffnutz]

Trust me, you don't want to see it.

I'm listening to the Bob. :yep

Fight over ref stops it.

[ishy]

Holy shit!! Ruiz just exploded, stopped his opponent.

[Ilesey]

Fair play, it's a shit undercard.

[slapbangwhallop]

Trust me, you don't want to see it.

+1

They should show the Helenius and the Pulet fights - with plenty of time to fit in a preview of Francisco Palacios knocking out another bum

[Ilesey]

Holy shit!! Ruiz just exploded, stopped his opponent.

:shock:

[TFFP]

Would have been alright if they showed Groves and Helenius live. I mean alright as in vaguely competent for a world title fight, not really what you'd expect but...

This is a bit of a damp squib as it is.

[ishy]

How's Helenius looking?

[Tuffnutz]

If Haye gets beaten this will be the worst PPV in Sky Box Office history.

[slapbangwhallop]

Would have been alright if they showed Groves and Helenius live. I mean alright as in vaguely competent for a world title fight, not really what you'd expect but...

This is a bit of a damp squib as it is.

are you getting Ruiz on SKY?

What have ye had so far?

[ishy]

OMG! They Yanks have such a cheap studio set up.

[Lewisbell]

are you getting Ruiz on SKY?

What have ye had so far?
George Groves vs Eurobum
Edmund Gerber vs some Yank
Helenius vs Bidenko

[ishy]

US tv showing Helenius-Bidenko with ring entrances and intors. Bet Sky didn't give you that shit :deal

[TommyV]

Was that Scott Belshaw that Haye was sparring with?

[slapbangwhallop]

OMG! They Yanks have such a cheap studio set up.

tell me about it! makes Setanta look like a Hollywood production.

Helenius - yes! been looking forward to this for a long time. Great am record

[TFFP]

Only just started watching the Sky coverage.

Was Gerber/McClean now its Helenius/Bidenko.

Helenius is dominating, too strong and powerful, Bidenko been shaken up and on his bike.

Helenius looks like he does, lacking athleticism but decent power.

[ishy]

It's that German MC who looks like a pedo. Think Buffer is doing the main event.

[TFFP]

Bidenko is actually cut badly here in round 3. Maybe he's pulled out.

[GazOC]

How's Helenius looking?


Nothing special.

[TommyV]

What station are you guys on getting the Helenius/Bidenko fight? I'm on SS2 and it's not on. :huh

[TFFP]

Yeah pulled out end of round 3 on doctors advice.

Bad cut and Bidenko was getting dominated anyway.

Watt says Helenius has a long way to go.

[antcull]

Its PPV Tommy, why would it be on SS2?

[rooq]

sky box office

[LHL]

This is an awful undercard

[TommyV]

Its PPV Tommy, why would it be on SS2?

Fair point. :lol:

What the fuck am I watching then?

[Ilesey]

Fair point. :lol:

What the fuck am I watching then?

Football.

Are you drunk? :rofl

[IntentionalButt]

Showing Helenius, 'The Nordic Nightmare' :lol::happy

I'm not terribly impressed with him, but his length and jab will be enough to overwhelm Brewster next month.

[slapbangwhallop]

Fair point. :lol:

What the fuck am I watching then?

the Madrid derby?

Anyway, to think I had such high hopes of Bidenko back in 2007! :oops:

[gasman]

when is haye fighting?

[Ilesey]

This is an awful undercard

Agreed. Not long until the main event. :happy

[Tuffnutz]

On the US broadcast they showed the Ruiz fight live.

Seems that SKY will only shows Haye vs Valuev live. :lol:

[GazOC]

I've just checked and its not on the History Channel either. What the fuck are Sky playing at?

[ishy]

How many of you have paid for this?

[Ilesey]

I've just checked and its not on the History Channel either. What the fuck are Sky playing at?

Try History +1.

[Tuffnutz]

How many of you have paid for this?
:lol:

[ishy]

****** would have been slated for an undercard like this :lol:

[LHL]

Not me :yep got a neighbour with his blinds open :lol:

[Ilesey]

How many of you have paid for this?

Guilty. But it is my Birthday tomorrow so I'm fucking allowed. I'll claim it back in expenses off my wife or something. ;)

[TommyV]

Football.

Are you drunk? :rofl

:lol:

I don't know what's going on. I'm not watching the real 'Sky Sports 2'. I'm watching it on the thing we can't talk about, but it says Sky Sports 2 in the right hand corner, so I assumed it was on that channel.

[Ilesey]

Not me :yep got a neighbour with his blinds open :lol:

:rofl

Remember the ASBO you have which states quite clearly you aren't allowed to do that anymore.

[hitman_hatton1]

hopefully sky show the brief highlights of ruiz.

as brief as possible. :yep

just a load of retreads promoting the fight so far.

getting bored of seeing em now.

i wonder what they do for the ringwalks. :happy

[ishy]

Not me :yep got a neighbour with his blinds open :lol:

:lol:

[hitman_hatton1]

eeeeeuuuuuuubbbbaaaannnnnkkkkkkkk. :yep

[RichT]

This is the worst PPV I can remember buying for a long time

:-(

Let's hope the main event lives up to the billing

[TFFP]

Christ they are struggling to fill the time. Showing the same bullshit from the preview shows.

[ishy]

Helenius is pretty bland.

[D-MAC]

Not me :yep got a neighbour with his blinds open :lol:

I'm gonna close my blinds now. Get the fight somewhere else, ya sponging git.

[Ilesey]

:lol:

I don't know what's going on. I'm not watching the real 'Sky Sports 2'. I'm watching it on the thing we can't talk about, but it says Sky Sports 2 in the right hand corner, so I assumed it was on that channel.

:rofl

Not watching the real SS2? :p So, you are drunk?

It's like a conspiracy. A fake SS2 to dupe TommyV into thinking that in the middle of the football Haye would run on the pitch and say "right lads fuck off, there's gonna be some hugging going on and it won't be pretty".

[RichT]

Christ they are struggling to fill the time. Showing the same bullshit from the preview shows.


Poor isn't it

[ishy]

Anyone staying up for Dawson-Johnson II? Decent co-feature as well; Yorgey-Angulo

[IntentionalButt]

:lol:

I don't know what's going on. I'm not watching the real 'Sky Sports 2'. I'm watching it on the thing we can't talk about, but it says Sky Sports 2 in the right hand corner, so I assumed it was on that channel.

Is it just me, or have things we can't talk about become especially sparser and harder to find of late? Rogan-Sexton, the Judah/Casa card last night, and now this have all been an absolute bitch and a half. :huh

[Ilesey]

Christ they are struggling to fill the time. Showing the same bullshit from the preview shows.

I think they are going to ask Nicky Piper to get up and dance for a bit to fill the time. :yep

[TommyV]

Valuev is incredibly ugly. The guy has fucking moutains on his head. He looks like one of those cats that's been completely shaven.

[TFFP]

Anyone staying up for Dawson-Johnson II? Decent co-feature as well; Yorgey-Angulo
Sure.

Looking forwardto Angulo/Yorgey more TBH, think Chad will dominate this tme.

[IntentionalButt]

Christ they are struggling to fill the time. Showing the same bullshit from the preview shows.

With chatter from Eubank and some other talking heads, yeah? Why aren't we seeing HL of Ruiz and Liakhovich at least? :huh Were those fights before Helenius-Bidenko, or did we just watch that fight on delay? And if so, why show that one but not the others?

[GazOC]

Anyone staying up for Dawson-Johnson II? Decent co-feature as well; Yorgey-Angulo


Yep, the main event will be a stinker though.

[TommyV]

:rofl

Not watching the real SS2? :p So, you are drunk?

It's like a conspiracy. A fake SS2 to dupe TommyV into thinking that in the middle of the football Haye would run on the pitch and say "right lads fuck off, there's gonna be some hugging going on and it won't be pretty".

:lol:

I've 'turned over' now anyway. Apparently it was on a loop or some shit. I'm trying to find the real station now.

Is it just me, or have things we can't talk about become especially sparser and harder to find of late? Rogan-Sexton, the Judah/Casa card last night, and now this have all been an absolute bitch and a half. :huh

Are you watching the same thing as I am then?

[ishy]

Yep, the main event will be a stinker though.

1st fight was decent, expect Dawson to win more clearly this time though.

[GazOC]

With chatter from Eubank and some other talking heads, yeah? Why aren't we seeing HL of Ruiz and Liakhovich at least? :huh Were those fights before Helenius-Bidenko, or did we just watch that fight on delay? And if so, why show that one but not the others?

The program is slated to be on til 1am. I'd guess they will show those fights after the main event.

[dan-b]

Sure.

Looking forwardto Angulo/Yorgey more TBH, think Chad will dominate this tme.

Interesting, I think Dawson has Jermain Taylor style stamina problems that won't go away. I can see Johnson doing the business this time.

[TFFP]

They are showing Ruiz now

[jc333]

Ruiz fight is on now

[ishy]

They are showing Ruiz now

Enjoy :lol::good

[dominic1234]

Watching Alexander Frenkel Vs Kelvin Davis right now on the American PPV.

[Akxtinguish]

Here we go!

[TommyV]

Watching Alexander Frenkel Vs Kelvin Davis right now on the American PPV.

Same. Don't know what to make of Frenkel yet.

[Akxtinguish]

Sorry false alarm.

[dan-b]

Ruiz is shit.

[ishy]

Boxrec have results for all the undercard fights expect for the Lyakovich fight.

[LHL]

Ishy you better not be lying about the Ruiz explosion :lol:

[Akxtinguish]

Just saw the staredown from the weigh-in again.

I have to say, it takes guts to stare back at Valuev when he's looking as mean as he did during the weigh in.

[Akxtinguish]

Arthur Abraham's with the presenters on German TV!

Can't believe they show it for free. Germany's looking like the way forward for boxing.

[TFFP]

What can I say for Quiet Man..'workmanlike'

He really puts Valuev into context, this is the guy that narrowly lost to Valuev. Albeit fighting in a different style to one you'd expect Haye to use. Holyfield laid out Haye's blueprint, so there are two ways to beat this guy as shown by mediocre fighters at this stage.

[slapbangwhallop]

Frenkel looks decent with a bit of power as well.

"Gees those Sauerland guys have a ton of fighters!"

[ishy]

Abraham part of the panel on German telly, showing HL's from the Taylor fight. Polsat have Adamek on the phone, I think he picked Haye. They said "Valuev...Haye" and Adamek said "Haye".

[TommyV]

Fuck I'm down. :-(

[Bodysnatcher]

Nelson and McCrory have a higher opinion of Ruiz than most...

[Akxtinguish]

I'm not sure if Abraham picked someone. My German is very rusty, but I think he said, I'm a boxer ... (something).... boxing has to win.

[hitman_hatton1]

glenn mccrory on john ruiz: 'it's good to see he's still around'

no it f*cking isn't. :patsch

[antcull]

Fight coming up next I think :happy

[ishy]

ESB keeps crashing as well.

[ishy]

boxpicks have good odds for a Haye win :good

[LHL]

:rofl the guy across the street turned over to the US show

Is the studio in a fucking closet :lol:

[TommyV]

ESB keeps crashing as well.

Yeah mines running very slow. Cheers for the PM aswell. :good

[IntentionalButt]

Ruiz has really reinvented himself. He's not explosively exciting now or anything, but he's come a long way. He's definitely more aggressive now. One more title run for the old bastard isn't the end of the world if he keeps up this new style.

[antcull]

Buffer!! :happy

[Lewisbell]

It's Buffer time!

[Freddy Krueger]

Yeah mines running very slow. Cheers for the PM aswell. :good

Smart move. You just bought your friend some time off too.

Will you people ever learn?

[Akxtinguish]

Michael Buffer time!

[jc333]

The site is running very slowly.

Come in Haye

[Tuffnutz]

The Hayetrix by TKO.

[Bodysnatcher]

Haye looking incredibly relaxed, but you never know what he's feeling in his gut.

[Bodysnatcher]

What an amazing band.

[Lewisbell]

What is it with the Germans and crap intro music!

[phonk]

It's time to rawk!

No one does a ring enterence like the Germans

[GazOC]

Christ!! The Germans and their dodgy music.......

[Akxtinguish]

This band is dreadful.

[Carnage]

OooOoo I'm exciiiiited!!!

[brown bomber]

Chewn.

[antcull]

Here comes the big man!!

COME ON HAYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'M SO FUKIN EXCITED!!!!!!!!!

[LHL]

I didn't know they made hats that big

[Ilesey]

Fucking WAR fucking HAYE!!!

Come on Haye, kick his fucking ass!!!!!

[brown bomber]

Valuev KO1.

[Maza1987]

site is slow as fuck, everyone is stugling to get on, hence the low member count

[trotter]

Chewn.


lol you gotta love the Germans

They sing in fucking English too ! What's that about ?!

[JIM KELLY]

nerves galore..

[One Punch KO]

German rock band.

German sounds an awful lot like English.

[Ilesey]

Aww, the fucking anthems!!

[IntentionalButt]

Valuev's personal ring-walk band are absolute faggots.

I guess the Scorpions only play for the real warriors adopted by the Vaterland (ie Abraham). :bart

[Maza1987]

Letsss fukkk

ccomoin, lets be avinn you

[Ilesey]

Haye looks mean as fuck!

[Maza1987]

rocky 4, anyone??

lol

[Ilesey]

Rocky 4.

[brown bomber]

Ivan dragowa

[Akxtinguish]

The usual embarassing moment when the English fans boo the opposite national anthem.

[TFFP]

Really hope Haye does it but I'm nervous as hell for him.

[Akxtinguish]

Don King looking delighted.

Can't believe he's lasted this long in the sport.

[brown bomber]

he's not a man, he's a giant machine from hell.

[Maza1987]

boring round
10-10

[Maza1987]

boring round
10-10

[The Bang Benang]

10 - 9 Valuev, no way will the judges give him that round, the close/inactive rounds will go to Valuev.

[IntentionalButt]

Valuev not pulling the trigger. Haye trying to pull an Ibragimov (vs. Briggs) with lunging headhunting overhands as he moves laterally, but not really landing on anything but Nik's forearms.

[TFFP]

Haye's doing outstanding so far, really well. Perfect tactics.

[IntentionalButt]

Both guys too negative in the first two rounds, I didn't bother scoring them.

Haye landing in the third, though - and evading (or smothering) the jab.

Valuev's jab is pathetic tonight. It's like an "Excuse me, do you mind if I touch your face? Oh, you'd rather not. Well, alright. Sorry for the trouble!" jab.

[JIM KELLY]

i wonder if the dirrell-froch argument will rise from this fight??

[Vantage_West]

seems like a barnburner

[IntentionalButt]

Valuev starting to throw his weight into more of his shots; trying to trap Haye in the corners, and seems to have figured out his movement (will walk him down against the ropes, then wait for Haye to circle near a corner and take a quick step to the other side of it to head him off). Haye's defending well, but this is Valuev's best round so far (4th)

[LHL]

Both guys too negative in the first two rounds, I didn't bother scoring them.

Valuev's jab is pathetic tonight. It's like an "Excuse me, do you mind if I touch your face? Oh, you'd rather not. Well, alright. Sorry for the trouble!" jab.

:lol:

Haye is fighting the right fight. Hope he can keep picking him off.

[IntentionalButt]

Valuev actually hurt Haye with a combination near the end of the 5th (against the ropes). Haye puffs out his chest and tries to bluff the big man, keeping his hands at his sides and dashing in bravely to unleash volleys of his own. He's lucky that didn't happen earlier in the round, giving Nik another chance to utilize the ropes.

[JIM KELLY]

haye cant do shit to this big foot creature..

[ashley]

So who won the first 4 rounds???????

[IntentionalButt]

This is an interesting tactical match, actually. Haye leaving a breadcrumb trail across every inch of the ring, and Valuev trying to shut the phonebooth doors around him (when he does he's effective enough that Haye bounces away like a ping pong ball...David seems desperate not to let more than two or three flush shots land at a time...)

[brown bomber]

This is a tactical disaster.

[izmat]

As predicted Haye will not be knocking this guy out!

[Toney]

Haye is a fucking idiot... He thinks he can go to Germany, do absolutely nothing and the claim that he was robbed.

[IntentionalButt]

This is a judging nightmare.

Val economical in the 5th-7th, loading up power shots and swinging for the fences. Haye is making him miss and outworking him (though not landing much himself).

[BamBam]

Haye is fucking miles behind. He needs KD's or a KO to win this

[AnthonyWilliams]

Haye is just not throwing enough.

[brown bomber]

Winning that round was the worst thing that could have happened.

[Vantage_West]

right tactics from haye but is it enough?

[brown bomber]

5-4 val

[JIM KELLY]

haye lost this..he aint knockin him down or out or whatever.

Grrrrrrr....

[China_hand_Joe]

Valuev is outworking him and actually looking like a boxer, the only question mark is about the judges.

[IntentionalButt]

For a feather-fisted guy whose block was supposed to be knocked off, Valuev sure has scared the shit out of Haye with the little contact he's made.

[kadoiron]

Damn this must really raise Holyfield's stocks!

[Boxing Gloves]

I have Haye winnin 7-4

[andyZOR]

you may think haye is winning the fight, but hes not. and hes definatly not doing enough to win the title..... so those of you who are scoring it for Haye you need to see a eye doctor...

[IntentionalButt]

Valuev at least trying to make it interesting, applying intelligent pressure by circling into Haye and putting power punches together; he just lacks the footspeed and/or killer instinct to rush in and swarm Haye and rough him up physically (though there has been an increase in clinches in rounds 9-11). Final round coming up. Valuev wide UD unless something big gets through.

[jc333]

Haye will get the decision

[Boxing Gloves]

How can you score to Valuev when he barely landed?

[Sai]

I reckon a really weird SD is going to happen

[IntentionalButt]

Haye won the 12th big, spending 85% of it in retreat/survival mode but landing huge bombs during a few moments, causing Valuev to lose his balance, shell up, and clinch.

Haye wins MD.

[antcull]

I had it 7-4-1 to Haye.

Thought he was gonna KO him in the 12th, Haye coulda got him if he was more aggressive earlier. OK Tactics from Haye but shitty fight.

UK has a new HW Champ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAR HAYE!!!!!!!!

[trotter]

116-112 Haye for me

2,3,6,8,9,11,12

Never thought he'd get the nod though

[djoc175]

Remind me,what was Wladimir doing after 24 fights other than losing to Ross Puritty?

[Larryboys]

I listened to the 5 live commentary at the same time, and the commentary painted a picture the images sure weren't showing, unbeleivably biased towards Haye was the commentary. There were alot of rounds where not much happened which could have gone either way, the twelth was deffinitely for Haye. I wouldn't have complained if the decision had gone the other way, though Valuev was far from impressive. Either way, it was a pretty God awful fight and not the kind of "I've arrived" performance Hatton/Tyszu or Calzaghe/Lacy was for Haye.

[IntentionalButt]

Haye won the 12th big, spending 85% of it in retreat/survival mode but landing huge bombs during a few moments, causing Valuev to lose his balance, shell up, and clinch.

HAYEMAKER!!!!!!!!!!!

I scored it 115-113 to Haye and that was trying to judge it how I thought the 3 officials would. 116-112 is about right to me.

What did Buncie score it as?

just got back from my mates house, i scored it 115,114 to Haye... he boxed to negativly at times and beautiful at others, on top of this it seems he injured his right hand.

dispelled rumours of stamina problems and proved his chin isnt made of glass, he took some full blooded shots from a 320lb man. WELL DONE HAYE

Bunce had it as 116-112, as did Woodhall and the other guy. I only heard it on the radio, in fairness. The channel I was watching wasn't smooth enough to track, but I'll watch it properly tomorrow.

haye hurt his hand in the 2nd..damn, if thast the truth, then he did very well,but how did he hurt it?

Will this be an issue for his future fights?

Wonder if the hand injury excuse is legit? I doubt its a lie as it was pretty much the first thing he mentioned in the interview...Great performance if he didnt have his right hand at full strength for 9/10 rounds.

Mixed feelings on the fight a bit...I was impressed with Hayes discipline and especially his stamina...Lets not forget he had only boxed 15 rounds (6 at HW) in 2 1/2 years and he just went 12 with a 7ft giant without looking slightly tired.

But he could have made it so much more impressive though, if the hand injury is legit than thats fair play to him. He could have KOed Valuev though.

Lets see Haye put a Tua style beating on Ruiz (I think he will)

Well done Hayemaker!

I had it 116-114 to David.

Pretty tough fight to score, but he looked like Whitaker in there at times......

Great night for the HW division :deal

[safc1990]

What was the fight like? I had to go to hospital with my Mam so missed it, I'm guessing not exactly a slugfest as the casual fans on the football forums are complaining about exactly that. Oh and they agree that Jim Watt is a tosser. :yep

Hayemaker :happy:happy:happy

Jim Watt was right tonight on some part, Valuev was landing from time to time, a very hard fight to score. I had it a draw 5-5-2 but fair props to Haye although i thought it he would land more maybe the hand injury was legit....
