I'd say about 10pm for Haye fight, which I think he'll win on points but I hope I'm wrong. The way he has gone about the fight has been embarrassing. In 2008 he knew he'd get his arsenal handed too him so 'backed' out, now is talking Klitchko down, Wlad deserves more respect than that.

Good professional performance from Kell Brook tonight.

Sturm and Macklin was a cracking fight too!!

Certainly was!

Was always going to be difficult for Macklin to get a decision out in Germany. I had him winning the fight by a round.

Tremendous heart shown by the pair of them, I'd love to see a rematch over here. I doubt it'll ever happen.

Sturm has bigger names on his agenda, so I doubt it either. How 2 of the judges had Sturm by 4 rounds is criminal

I agree, although I think it was a difficult fight to judge throughout because whilst Macklin was the aggressor throughout Sturm was landing the better punches.

The way Macklin was walking through them at times defied belief.

Greatest myth in boxing today......Haye has NEVER been out on his feet from a single shot.

Carl Thompson worn him down with a series of energy sapping attacks, which was made worse from Haye starting the fight like it was a 4 rounder.

Yes, he has also been down as well, but never in a state where he has needed to hang on in a desparate fashion.

Klitschko however does have a suspect chin.....He's a little bit Frank Bruno for me, bit of a bully who is fantastic when dominating against a limited opponent, but hasn't a clue how to defend when tagged on the chin.

Overall, there's no doubt that Haye could be ko'd, but the idea that he will be sparked out by 1 punch is a bit of a far fetched one.
