No it's not worth watching, someone needs to tell these guys to sell the fight because so far they are acting like they want to bum each other.
People wanted Haye to stop trash talking, well this snoozefest is the result

It's ironic that one of the reasons Charr has been given this fight is because he's meant to be a great talker and would add excitement to the pre-fight build up. At least that's what Adam Booth said.
Instead all he's done so far is suck off Haye and slag off the Klitschko's. And yet they claim that the Klitschko's are "control freaks".

There's just no chemistry in the match, Charr strikes me as a guy who knows he's on a hiding to nothing but doesn't care, and Haye seems to get a kick out of the idiot.

Ultimately Haye is getting more criticism than either Klischko do and their opponent choice is normally worse than this, then its just accepted.

The problem is that Haye keeps making a song and dance about the Klitschkos only fighting shit opponents, then he goes and fights Audley, Chisora and Charr.
It was mostly a beating. Charr had a high work rate though and Vitali was blowing a little (like he often does tbf) but the majority of it was just Charr running onto Vitali's punches. I think he got knocked down once, suffered a bad cut and the stoppage was probably fair, albeit a bit too early for it to be a 100% conclusive victory for Vitali IMO.

Tbf Chisora had just beaten Helenius and put up a decent showing against Vitali, but Valuev, Ruiz, Harrison have to be up there as the worst title reign in history surely? Then he comes back supposedly to earn a mandatory shot and respect and fights Manuel Charr? There's good names out there he could have fought but this is lowest risk for the same reward

Charr ticks all the boxes for this fight though:
* He's not that good so it should be a comfortable win for Haye
* He's fought "a Klitschko" so isn't a complete unknown
* After he gets beaten up, he'll tell everyone on Sky that David Haye is amazing and the Klitschkos are scared of him

:lol: I'm surprised Povetkin hasn't had to defend against John Ruiz yet. Even if he is retired. Although they did make him fight Chagaev to win "the world title", thus continuing that ridiculous spell where either Ruiz, Chagaev or Valuev had to fight for the title.
In the whole decade from 2000 to 2010, there wasn't a single WBA heavyweight title fight that didn't include one of those three
