    Is this on setanta?? I hope I can get a stream of it at the very least. I know this might be like watching a car crash but I'm sticking by Holy!!!

    A late repeat on Eurosport is going to be your best bet.

    Valuev is a terrible champion, but should have enough to beat Ol' Hol'.

    This will be a thorough one sided beating. Holyfield will definitly retire after this bout and i hoped he never passes another medical ever again.

    I only give Holyfield a chance because Valuev is no awesome warrior himself, and looked kinda bad against Ruiz (though I still thought he won). Usually his jab and stamina are his best qualities but he was looking tired by the end of that one, and he's a big slow-moving target - just what Holyfield needs.

    Of couse, Holyfield winning the title would be the worst possible thing for his health. Puts a big juicy target on his forehead for the Klitschkos, or some ambitious young heavy like Haye.

    I hope he wins but then again i dont , because if he wins he wants to unify the division !!! and that spells disaster for his health !!
