He has no chance, really. He should be bashed to a pulp within the first round. He has to box smart but I actually hope he does win, it would be interesting.
Only chance he has is to keep moving and win on points.
I fancy Haye for it. Ive never seen the other guy fight but at that size with that weight how fast can he possibly be?
Need to find a local pub showing it...
If he can survive the first 3 rounds then I guess the big guy will get tired.
Seems a bit of a mis match though.
Oooo its tonight, wouldnt mind watched that. Either going to be a complete ownage of Haye or a drawn out match that tires the russian.

Speed? Hes 72" and has a reach of 88 inchs... He can just stand in the middle and hit anything in the ring :P He is basically the russian from rocky :P

nothing new, nothing interesting.

How wrong you were.
David Haye Wins and WBA World Heavyweight champ. Quite a few have tired to beat the Russian Recently and been knocked out trying. Haye Nearly had the Russian a few times.
Indeed, the russian was too slow tho, couldnt get any good hits in. Would of been good if Haye got a final hit in after that stumble :)

And he broke his hand early on, lol. Brick wall for a head, I can imagine.
It was a really boring fight, glad I found it streamed online and not PpV.
Haye boxed very clever tho and did well to win.
watched it in the pub with a few mates, yeah it was pretty boring... only a couple of good bits and they only lasted 2sec at most
Im surprised the results were so close tho, Haye seamed to land a lot more punches than the other guy...

World Champ Syndrome. Always get votes from judges for just being the champ.
I watched a Russian Stream of it. I can tell you now they are still massively racist. 600 odd people in the chat and basically all russian just about and just pure racist. Some could not believe they would let a black person be a champ. I was appalled.
I saw this down the Pub.
As you predicted Nexus the only way he would win the Title is hit and run. It was the perfect gameplan. I dont think Ive ever seen any one win a title fighting on the backfoot 12 rounds.
I saw Valuev stumble at the end but Im pretty sure he just lost his balance with Fatigue. A KO from Haye never looked likely. The man has never fell to the Canvas and that is only his second loss.
Look at Valuev at the end of the Match and ask yourself does he look like a man who got beat. I dont think so.
Still well done.
