Klitschko's performance last night really was top class. He faced maybe the best boxer he's ever faced in David Haye, and came out on top, for the most part because his tactics were spot on. I really was impressed, and the Klitschko fighters have really grown into being my favourite boxers. James Toney, I used to support you, but now I've moved on: it's time for me to get behind the Klitschkos.
Wladimir really was on top form last night. Haye could not find a way round his jab: nobody, to be fair to Haye, has really managed to find a solution to Dr. Steelhammer's jab. You really can't get close to him because of it.
Now Haye was blaming his defeat on a broken toe, which I think is really soft. I have broken my toe before, and although it is extremely painful, once you've taken tons of painkillers, you can't really feel it, so it's not much of an excuse. He was just outboxed by Klitschko, and he didn't have an answer.
I really hope David Haye shuts up now. I think he is all talk and no walk and he only beats opponents at heavyweight who are really pretty bad. Klitschko gave him a well deserved lesson, which I, and I'm sure many others, are very happy about.
So what next? Who knows. The heavyweight division is it has to be said very weak at the moment, and I expect Haye to take at least a few months to think things over. Klitschko on the other hand will just presumably continue fighting opponents greatly inferior to him and keep winning. However retirement must also be on his mind, along with that of his older brother, Vitali.
Also, if you're interested, I've decided to stop supporting Mirko Cro Cop in the UFC: he's a phenomenal fighter, and I would continue supporting him if he was still going to fight more in the future, but he is on the verge of retirement and he only has one, fight left, maybe even none. I have decided instead to become a fan of Cain Velasquez. He is the current heavyweight champion and is a fighter I've always liked since I started following the UFC.
