I am not normally a big boxing fan; well I didn’t think I was until I watched the fight between the two heavy weight boxers last night.
David Haye from London England, a mighty big man in his own right was up against Russian Nikolai Valuev (Goliath) who at over 7foot tall and weighing a mighty 23 stone towered above David making him look like a middleweight.
The fight took place in Germany and many supporters of both men turned up to watch this very published fight.
Valuev owned the middle of the ring, coolly following David’s every move as he ducked and dived around the whole of the outside ring. The huge beast of a man that towered 9 inches over his opponent David, was poetry in motion as his laid back gentle, persona radiated out of every pore.
David was like a terrier that was teasing a rat; they both clearly had studied each other’s form and it was so apparent as this spectacular fight unfolded.
I was shouting “keep away from the ropes David” as Valuev looked as if he was going to devour David if he got him into the corner of the ring up against the ropes.
It was touch and go for both men, as to who was going to win throughout the fight. There was no body gripping, hugging or constant punching to the head. Just a few very well placed hits for both men, both very professional I thought.
It ended with the judges making the final decision on points and even with a suspected broken right hand David came out top and won the WBA heavyweight tile 2009!

I didn’t get to see it but was concerned they would even allow such a weight difference. I’m not surprised he broke his hand – he might as well have been punching an elephant!
Ha! Now I see the video (I had to allow the scripts to ‘like’ it and it revealed the vid *off to watch it* – thanks!
I watched the fight as well I must admit, I thought it was a bit boring the big guy was no more a fighter then me, but at least we have another title in the UK
I enjoyed the read my hubby is more into this than I am I just watch it with him and take the micky lol nice write from you.
actually I didn’t watch boxing but still thanks for the info !!!!
Iam a WWE Fan…
That was quite a fight!
OK… sounds interesting!
Thanks Miss L for the post fight analysis. I saw the headlines, but never paid much attention to it as I was more anxious to get here and now I don’t even have to read the other accounts because it sounds like you have done a masterful job in summing it all up. More of your incredible talents!!!
Cool post about the fight. Size as in height and muscle has and never will be guarentee of strength. Many of your best and most deadliest fighters haven’t been giants. Just look at Bruce Lee and Mike Tyson in height sense. Hats off to the new champ. Good article.
I watched part of it, that man was huge and he looked really mean! I enjoyed your article.
Great share…
A very good write up and happy to see that some people are still getting published here. Triond has been really slow the past week.
You like boxing now. Well done I like boxing too but did not see or hear of it here in oz.
Unfortuanely I didn’t see it, I am a boxing fan,love to watch them fight it out.lol my grandmother got me into it believe that or not she was the biggest boxing fan I ever saw! Excellent write Lilly and thanks for the info!
I didn’t see it but you make it sound interesting.
A good fight report and I enjoyed it. Big people often have
a clumsiness that negates their greater strenth and I guess that happened here. I’m sorry I missed it. I have some articles I hope you’ll comment on.
Wow…
I don’t watch boxing, but this article was darn cool.. :p
Interesting and cool!
seems like a great fight but I’m not a boxing fan.
mmm… exciting…
Haven’t seen any of it yet (can’t afford Sky sports). That Russian tho, was like a freakin’ ogre!
What a violent sport, I hate boxing.
Cool. David did it again.
I knew it that UK’s man did win or else you wouldn’t have written this post. Great post my friend..x
