    I am not one to cry outrage at every decision i don't agree with, but some things go too far.

    An immediate re-match proves nothing, we all know who won.

    Striking off the judges permanently is the first place to start, as they are clearly incompetent at their job.

    Well I had Holyfield up by a point. This decision is bull****. **** that. The german (swiss) public knew Holyfiled was the winner. Even Valuevs promoter said it was a draw. I'm getting so fed up, I need a drink...

    Come on this fight could have gone either way.
    I was cheering for Holyfield but had Valuev winning by 116-115.

    Here is my scorecard, I realize any of the close rounds could have turned the decision.
    Round | Holyfield | Valuev
    01 10 10
    02 10 9
    03 10 9
    04 10 10
    05 10 9
    06 9 10
    07 10 10
    08 9 10
    09 9 10
    10 10 9
    11 9 10
    12 9 10
    ===========
    115-116

    I had the fight 10-1 and 1 even for Holyfield some of you who said Holyfield was up by one point or two points obviously saw something that nobody else did. This was a clear cut win for Evander Holyfield they robbed the man of a historic 5th HW title and becomming the oldest man to win the title in the history of the sport. Boxing gets another black eye and who didnt see the robbery comming when the judges took their sweet time getting the scores in, it was clear that they had robbed Evander or was going to.Look this might not have been the most exciting style of HOlyfield to watch but against a man that size and that young Holyfield fought the perfect fight to fight. His win was stolen from him and I hope the WBA will consider reviewing the fight.
