These judges should be placed on trial.... results like this make you question the game, no wonder pple are going elsewhere and not watching boxing!!?
Michael Buffer looked like he was thinking that when he gets home he is going to cry in the shower and scrub himself until he is "clean" when he was coaxing the crowd into an applause.
I had Valuev winning 4 rounds - AT THE MOST. Just a terrible robbery - I can't believe this decision. Actually I CAN believe it, I just hate the thought of fixed fights still being involved in modern boxing, but obviously it's still here.
Holyfield deserves to get the decision just because Valuev was so unbelievable schit. A world champion waiting for a 46 year old to slow down, what a joke. If you see it round for round, it was a close fight. I dont see it at as a big robbery. it was very controversial, at our german board it was like 50:50 who won. But all agreed that Valuev sucks big time.
You don't win belts by running and jabbing... Valuev was the champ so the old man did nothing to win, stop crying.
What an awful scorecard. The fight could have gone either way? Yeah, I guess Hopkins- Pavlik could have gone either way too. Holyfield was robbed, plain and simple. Valuev did absolutely nothing.
you should be shot for comparing Holyfield's performance today with Hopkins' performance against Pavlik.
I didn't see the fight, but the Sports Illustrated boxing guy scored it 118-110 for Holyfield. And his comments made it seem like he was generous to give Valuev ANY rounds. I'll have to watch the fight to see for myself. But this decision stinks of the typical European home town corrupt judging.
ESPN: Denied Again - Holyfield, left, found it difficult to close the distance on Valuev FN: Fightnews saw it as 115-113 for the reigning champion. All in all, not the best day for Valuev despite his milestone 50th pro victory, a bitter setback for the 46-year-old Holyfield. What the **** they were watching? :think
