Two days to forget

To sum up the past two days, I would have to say typical. Why do we as a nation just excel in failure, it's like we like the notion of success but when we are on the cusp of it we shy away and try and distance ourselves from it as much as possible.

Last night David Haye was categorically defeated on points to Vladimir Klitschko. A dismal performance by Haye, all the talk before the fight whipped the British public into a frenzy as we though that the boring Klitschko era was over...awkward.

The saying goes you can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk? And sadly for Haye, he will be remembered as being a great Cruiserweight but just lacking when he stepped up to the Heavyweight division. When he beat Valuev for the title, he beat possibly the worst champion of all time, in what was an horrendous bout. His next fight was against Fraudley sorr

y Audley Harrison in what can only be described as a joke.

His first challenge as a heavyweight boxer and he was comfortably beaten. Now now, lets not look past his broken toe, of course it would hinder his ability, but why oh why does he feel the need to blame it on the toe. If he was injured beforehand, call off the fight. Sure he'd annoy fight fans, but at least they would have eventually got to see the fight as it should be, not the awful display that we saw.

Coming out now and blaming his toe is so typical of British sports stars. They always look for an excuse as to why they lost, as the concept of a foreigner being better than them just doesn't come into the equation.

Could have been a great weekend, but Scotsman Andy Murray, and Englishman David Haye just didn't want to give the British public, and this now proud Welshman, the satisfaction of seeing two Champions crowned.

Oh well, the Djokovic v Nadal will make up for it, two of the best players going at it for the ultimate prize in Tennis. Hopefully Djokovic will win and stop Nadal edging ever closer to Federer's Grand Slam record.

I'm off to go eat my Chili Non Carnie (Vegetarian Chili Con Carnie, but you knew that) and get ready for one hell of a match.
