No not at all. It's kind of like watching Floyd mayweather. Just being dominant and not making Mistakes

Props to Haye with the congratulatory gestures. Surprising.

He reacted well. WK reminds me of Pete Sampras, if every tournament were at Wimbledon. Strange analogy that makes sense in my head.

I semi-respect Haye for going through with the fight and putting up a decent battle.

Boxing then Nascar. Strange lineup for my Saturday.

I enjoyed this match though. How often can I expect to see a match like this aired? Matches every Saturday but only big ones every so often?

frick! I wanted a knockout, but Haye made it so fricking easy to just win rounds. He never pressed Wlad at all. Never once did he apply any sustained pressure or even phase Klitschko until the last round. And even then Wlad woke up and took it right at Haye and hurt him.

Sigh...

The only fight that makes sense is the two brothers...

Maybe Wlad will hang around long enough for someone like Deontay Wilder to mature and take the belt. That's a fight I'd love to see if Deontay can make it that far. Two 6'6 guys with awesome power in their right hand young lion versus old lion...

Next big one is the vitali fight but I'm not sure the date and the mayweather fight as well.

HBO has boxing at least once a month on Saturday. Not always title fights, but good fights. Sometimes it's as often as every two weeks. I miss boxing after dark...

Dale Johnson's twitter, soccer fans will enjoy this:

Fitting that David Haye was wearing an England shirt. Poor tactics, sluggish, no urgency, attacking impetus negligible, too little too late.

Only when they were little kids. They say they used to spar together when they were just starting out but it got too violent and their mother made them promise to never fight again.

Would the world just ignite if they ever went up against each other?

Hard not to like the Klit brothers. They are always very gracious and smart in post fight interviews. The style of fighting isn't very exciting, but very effective.
