Klitschko wins via tko 4-6 rds. I dont see Haye landing much, back peddling jabbing, but the big Drago like Klitchsko will get him.

Sad thats theres still no real excitement in boxing like the Tyson days or even the Holyfield/Lewis era.

Klitschko wins easily as Haye proves to be all hype. Quite a pathetic fight from Haye's standpoint. He was exposed as a fraud. With his boyish good-looks and knockouts of overmatched opponents, he managed to talk his way into a big payday. He is not what Boxing is all about. Count me among the many who are not a fan of David Haye. His flopping was pathetic and he looked like an utter clown with his "tactical" fighting. He's all fluff.

I will have to admit though that I now appreciate and have a great deal of respect for the Klitschkos. They represent the sport well. They always come well-prepared. They are dignified and professional. They show respect for their opponents and the sport. They represent the opposite of the ghetto element that was present in the sport for so long. They don't brag, run their mouths, and ridicule their opponents like Ali did.

This era of the heavyweight division may not be the most exciting or talented, but the Klitschkos are fine champions. Good win for Wladimir.

This wasn't a surprise to me in the least unfortunately. I was hoping for Wlad to destroy Haye, but I didn't expect for David to really engage for fear of getting KO'd. Then he has the nerve to try to blame an alleged broken toe for his horrid showing. Even if his toe really is broken, he shouldn't have even mentioned it. Either come into the fight as healthy as possible or don't get into the ring. Of course, his credibility was already shot due to the phantom back injury that caused him to back out of the fight the previous time. Haye's mouth earned him that fight more than his resumé actually did. The most significant heavyweight fight in years turned out to be a predictable snooze-fest. Sad...

Quite sad. Maybe his purse will get upheld after an investigation. He failed to live up his end of the bargain, and his share should be greatly reduced accordingly.

That may have been the worst fight I have watched in a long time-

At least Haye could have thrown a few punches, that fight was pure and utter BS- Heavy Weight Boxing is a non factor-
