Sauerland better wake up and realize his circus act, Valuev, is on borrowed time. He will lose to Chagaev again. Time to cash in with Wlad who's looking for an opponent in Los Angeles for May. Make the fight and end this disgrace
A horrid affair in neither deserved to win.It was closer than most will admit and watching "live at ringside" is differant watching from your tv set.All in all a bad night for boxing.

Listen, neither may have deserved to call himself a champion afterward, but thats beside the point......the fight still has to be judged whether it be for the championship or not. .....at the end of the day, when you fail to get off punches, much less land them, you lose......its that simple. .....and a fight where both are throwing shots in slow motion is'nt very hard to score. Both of them were slow enough that even the casual observer could see clear as day which punches landed and which landed with effect. The fight was easy to score because you could'nt miss any of those slow ass shots that were being thrown. The decision was disgraceful.....Holyfield outlanded Valuev, and likely tripled the effective connects compared to Valuev. I dont believe Valuev even landed a particular shot that could be said, "oh, that was a good shot!" Ineptness should not be rewarded, but its exactly what happened when Valuev was pronounced the winner.
It was a :verysadhorrible fight, both guy's deserved to lose, i don't feel an ounce of pity for Holy, Axel Schultz, and Felix Sturm were robbed right here in the USA, KARMA BABY:deal What comes around goes around..
