Instead, he basically walked right into it!!! Very frustrating!

Klitschko got another payday, can still fight David Haye (with more of a build up now due to the injury) and did not cancel on the 61,000 fans in attendance. “The Show must go on” and it did. However, in the United States Klitschko – Haye does not have anymore or less of a commercial appeal now because the average fan still has no clue about David Haye. Going into this fight, there was a slight chance Chagaev was going to win because he out boxed Nikolai Valuev, who was also bigger than him. Also, Chagaev was undefeated and undefeated fighters don’t know how to lose. If you can rough up Klitschko, you can beat him. He doesn’t respond well when getting hit. The problem is the heavyweight division is lacking someone to get past that big Klitschko jab.
