Looking forward to it. I hope Klitschko wins it. Luckily for me Germany seems to be one of the only places that has boxing on free to air tv.

Well, I haven't seen it yet, but I've read a round-by-round.

Sounds like Haye didn't risk it quite enough. He stayed away from Vlad's long arms, and it cost him opportunities to hit him. Fair enough, I wouldn't want to get within arm's reach of Klitschko either. I don't know if it's the broken toe or the rain, but it seems like Haye had uncharacteristically poor balance all night.

Some commentators are complaining about the fight, but it sounds worth watching.

Wlad came forward all night Haye played the role of counterpuncher. Haye landed some decent shots but looked exhausted by the 10th. Biggest puch of the night goes to Wlad.
Decision was a bit wider than I would have given. Referee was crap.
Funniest thing of the night was Uwe Twitter(not correctly spelt) who winced in pain from a body shot that saw him on more than one occasion lift his leg off the canvas. Do yourselves a favour and youtube this fight as it was fucking hilarious.

Do you mean Ola Afolabi v Terry Dunstan?

Edit: no, clearly not.

Green vs Tarver is about to start. I'm concerned now that I see Buddy McGirt in Tarver's corner.

Tarver by TKO.

Green's corner threw in the towel after the bell of the 9th. Green didn't know where he was and was completely out of it. Outclassed by Tarver in all rounds bar the 7th. Tarver also knocked him down in the 2nd.

Have you guys seen this. I must admit I don't know either fighter, but what a fuck-up!

He has form. He was in a doco about the dangers of a low blow. His role was to throw them and the outcome would be analysed. He also beat Aussie Vic under the same circumstances earlier in the tournament.

i know this is not related to what you guys are talking about, but since this is a boxing thread I can't wait to see Pacquiao and Floyd Jr. on top of the boxing ring fighting... Bet its going to be really good since both of then are really tough boxers..

Danny Green vs Krzysztof Wlodarczyk

Danny knocked out in the 11th round. I had Danny ahead on points and the Pole didnt seem real impressive to me but he takes the win. Dont know whether Danny continues on from here with his career but a sad note to go out on if it is the end.

Sonny Bill Williams vs Richard Tutaki.

It astonishes me that Sonny Bill could actually become heavyweight champion of New Zealand. As agreed, he is not a boxer's arse. But neither is Richard Tutaki, I discovered after a little research. He has lost 4 out of his last 5 (3 in a row by KO). He has only boxed once in the last 2 years and lost!

Here he is in "action" against Nathan Briggs in Brisbane.

If you can't bear to watch it all, skip to 7:00. I've seen better boxers on BumFights.
