    Whatever the majority say, I think it will be interesting.

    The amazing thing is that it is not beyond Holyfield, even at this stage.

    I seriously doubt Germany will allow Holy to walk away with the WBA title if the fight is close........ Nick Valuev will get the nod / benefit on his home turf..... Holy will have to really kick some serious ass with a knockdown or two, if he hopes to get a decision over Valuev..... Other than that, Holy really needs a KO in Germany..... The odds of Holy winning are stacked against him..... Nick Valuev has all the favors / chips already in his corner...... It'll be Holy who has to take it all away from Nick Valuev.... A real longshot here....

    MR.BILL:hat

    I only care about the undercard bout with Larsen. I hope he loses so Bute doesn't have to fight him. :D

    Valuev by decision probably. Valuev isnt a puncher and not much of a boxer but he gets by old Holy easy enough. Id luv an upset!!

    The Giant will slowly beat down ancient Holy into submission.

    Valuev UD, with Holyfield taking enough heavy jabs to put his brain damage back to the slurred state he had in 2002. :-(


    I feel a bit sorry for Valuev also. He just fights and lets his management do the matchmaking. He'll receive a lot of hate after beating up the old warrior, just because Don King wants to make a buck or two. And it's on PPV, for ****'s sake!

    I wonder if Holyfield still has what it takes to go full distance with a guy like Valuev who can be tough to deal with because of this huge height+weight .
