This was a closely fought contest with the smaller one coming out on top with a 12 round decision. Haye was throwing Haye-makers all night but his best one didn't land until the 12Th. Haye's movement and quickness got him the decision against the lumbering giant. The beautiful baby-faced champ Valuev fought as well as he could against a smaller quicker man. He landed a bunch of decent punches, mostly his jab and an occasional right or left. With out the power to hurt Haye the champ was fighting an up hill battle from the start. You can't fault the giant he gave it his all it just wasn't enough. I guess he wasn't all talk he stood in there with a giant and won, but it wasn't as impressive as he said it would be. Although a win is a win, Haye will have to show a lot more to even have a chance with each other of the Klitschko brothers. So what did we learn from this fight? For me it just reinforced the fact that The giant Russian can not be in an exciting fight, and anyone who fights with him will look bad. What did we learn about Haye? Well, he can go 12 with an heavyweight big man that can't punch and he will be here until he fights a decent heavyweight.
