Do European fans think that Holyfield-Valuev was a fix or bad decision?

    Please tkae this poll if you are a European fan. I am trying to determine if there is some kind of cultural divide here, as there has been in past fights, such as Maske-Hill 2, for example.

    lol i have to laugh. European?? I'm English, so I assume you mean me included.

    It's like calling Alaska, America, Canada, the Caribbean or west indies and Mexico North America or American I.E. rounding so many nationalities, countries and races into one!. Its stupid, ignorant and ridiculous.

    Anyway German promotions and events usually dictate these events that are not UK based, and i certainly think they are biased, unfair and suspect.

    It was fixed in the sense that the Judges had already decided who they were going to give the win. I don't believe Holyfield was in on it.

    I think a draw would have been the best solution.

    Btw. you will get plenty of americans voting in your poll (for the same reason they say it was a robbery).

    I think that Valuev won it. Holyfield was running all night long. He did not want to engage. You cannot win a fight running 29 seconds then throwing 1 or 2 punches and again and again. That was probably the most boring heavyweight title fight I have ever seen.

    I had it 115-113 for Holyfield. You cannot give Valuev more than 5 rounds.
