That is always going to be a difficult one to get right. You have to keep your chin in, of course, and there will always be a thin dividing line between doing that and ducking your head down.
As for the verdict, yes, Klitscko won. Few punches of any substance were landed by either boxer. Klitschko held the middle of the ring and he scored more direct hits. In terms of skill he was barely apprentice level compared to Haye. He did not need to be good though - only competent - and his size did the rest. We may have to agree to differ, but in my book that does not make him a far better boxer - just a bigger one. I guess if I want to see David lick Goliath I shall have to go to the movies!
