What is this box, and that such a victory in a boxing match? Think about this question got passed on the eve of the German Nuremberg duel for the title of world champion, WBA heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev and between David Haye. Fight Russians and the British left many ambiguities and prompted by gloomy thoughts of the author Down-the-line.com.

I think make sense to parse each round of confrontation between Valuev and Hay is not available. The battle took place extremely monotonous. Russians look bad, in his usual level. Full order to physical training, double left jab on arms and military cheerful mood. Someone may object that the optimal Valuev is not a championship level fighter. Maybe so, Nicholas really no different fighter enviable skill, but this problem defeating him is not elementary.

“One Hay knows why he chose such a” deer “manner against Valuev, boxing great, but slow and artless”

David Haye at 22 centimeters below Valuev and 45 pounds lighter. He is a former cruiser, almost automatically has said that there is no real “heavyweight” knockout blow. At first it seemed that way to win the British – a breakthrough in the melee, causing multiple strikes, coupled with excellent slopes and blocks. However, Hay was able to unpleasantly surprise the audience – he did very unpretentious and made a bid to run. And not just running, but the shuttle jerks backwards in combination with rebounds and otprygivaniyami. Not without deviations and of the body, but most of the battle, David showed the items that rarely see in the matches for the world title – he was trying to simply “run out” of Valuev, as if Nicholas was something of a young Tyson. I well remember slender nimble unstressed boxers who came out in the late 80's against “Iron Mike” to “fall”. But it was Tyson, his impact was strongest in the division. Hay one knows why he chose such a “deer” manner against Valuev, boxing great, but slow and artless.

Occasionally, a resident of Albion attacked. As a rule, threw out the usual two, leaving or in the glove of Nikolai, or in the air. Approximately once per round to David managed to hit the target, but accented strikes twelve rounds can be counted on fingers. True, the final round is worth a special mention, because it is one of the most exciting moments that have seen this year in the heavyweight division. All the more so telling about one round, one can say that all described, so they were like.

Valuev began to champion the fight twelfth segment with the usual double left jab, as always nenatselennogo, on arriving somewhere in the area of ​​Hay. The Briton went on to dance at a safe distance, although a couple of times throwing his left arm in the direction of the enemy, not for attack, and to test the distance. Nicholas struck again jab – Hay easily gone from a stroke. Valuev then connected to a right jab effectively and missed – David jumped aside. After some time came the miss Hay – his right swing on a swing knee was visible not only to Valuev, but the British fans drunkenly golosyaschim from the gallery floor. Nicholas continued to pressure, hitting the left and right, Haye jumps sharply, as the whole fight before that.

“The reaction was incredible – Nicholas” boltanulo 'feet Russians depicted the intricate steps, but buried in a rope champion met and greeted the next onslaught of Hay with his hands up “

Another attack Russians met David a good right hook and bounced into the corner, Valuev did not pursue. After another couple of fruitless attacks challenger Nicholas struck a sharp two, which fell exactly in the head champions. Our boxer did not look shocked, the entire fight, “bites” Hay was not impressed. And then, rested for a few seconds, Hay again rushed to the attack. The first two strikes were complete turmoil and do not hit, but the third came right on the bottom left to the jaw Valuev. The reaction was incredible – Nicholas “boltanulo 'feet Russians depicted the intricate steps, but buried in a rope champion met and greeted the next onslaught of Hay with their hands. Denying David failed, he was terribly inaccurate in their attempts. However, the round was clearly for him, because in the last half a minute Nicholas had not a single attack.

The last was the only round for a battle in which victory Hay was truly deserved. In the rest of the legwork and the Briton was limited almost did not attack, but Valuev tried unsuccessfully to catch up with nimble opponent. In my opinion, it is the referee had reason to make Hay warning for passivity, and then remove the point. This did not happen, and up to the fight, two judges have counted in favor of the applicant as much as 116-112, the third set tie 114-114. It is tied score and turned the author of these lines. While viewing a desire to constantly was overcome Hay points not to, because doing nothing in the ring I think an even greater flaw than a box of low quality. The verdict is certainly strange, as Valuev was a champion and to win the title of the applicant requires more than the ability to run and jump. Alas, last night in Nuremberg, there was no place for justice.

Nikolai Valuev was the nemastirovitym of available in recent years, the heavyweight champions. Russian is also one of the most boring and nesmotribelnyh boxing division. He was irritated by some of their anthropometric data and frightening view that conceals reasonable good-natured. But none of this is not a basis to give the title of the person who fight in the champion essentially gave boxing sabotage, chose a ridiculous sneaky tactics. I am sure that David Haye boxing will not forgive. Because, unlike judges, boxing can commend on the merits.
