I actually thought Haye lost the fight (closely of course.) it was one of the worst fights I've seen. But congrats to Haye for rocking that enormous heid!
I had it a draw. It was very similar fury v wlad an exercise in non agression.
Draw? Really?

Granted it was an awful fight but I can't see how anyone could give Valuev 6 rounds in that fight.

All about opinions though.

If I was Horse I would have just replied 'No'.
I had an awful lot of even rounds because little or nothing happened in them, I don't believe in awarding a winner when you can't separate the combatants during a round.

That's a fair assessment. Looking back at the fight as a whole I thought Haye just deserved to shade it and no more but it was definitely one to forget!

I didn't really argue with Haye getting the nod, it was a fight neither man really deserved to win, worst heavyweight title bout ever.

I remember Watt taking a lot of stick for giving it to Valuev but i think he fell into the trap of picking what he felt the judges might go for
