Englishman David Haye wins a majority decision over Russian Nikolai Valuev to win the WBA heavyweight title. Two judges scrored the 12-round fight 116-112 for Haye and one had it 114 even.
It was not at all an exciting fight as Haye opted for hit-and-run strategy, circling around the ring while throwing occasional body and head punches.
The Russian threw lots of jabs, most of them hit only air, and kept following and chasing his quicker opponent instead of cutting the ring.
In the final round, Haye wobbled Valuev with a couple of powerful punches to the head and tried but failed to knock-out his tough and huge opponent.
