By Scott Gilfoid: I hate to rain on the parade of fans of WBA heavyweight champion David Haye, but your man looked like utter crap last Saturday night against Nikolay Valuev.

By Dennis Broadhurst: After watching Haye win a twelve round decision last night over Valuev I was hardly inspired. Haye just ran and ran and only hit Valuev about three times every round.
