Wladimir Klitschko wins a boring fight against David Haye

Today, they held a fight card in Germany between two heavyweights and showed it live on HBO.
But on TV the only thing that caught my attention more often was the skycam camera on a wire that constantly got on the way of the fight and the many occasions Klitschko pushed Haye to the canvas.
The fight was boring as most of these kinds of fights are and as early as the 8th it was apparent what the result would be. Haye was clearly outnumbered in punches delivered mainly because Klitschko?s longer reach did not allow Haye plenty of chances to land clearly.
In the 11th, Haye dropped to the canvas. It wasn?t as much of a hit but more of a push but referee Geno Rodriguez of Puerto Rico counted it as a KD anyway in favor of the Ukranian.
In the end, Klitschko had a UD victory. The scores were 117-109, 118-108 and 116-110.
