    Holyfield v Valuev. worst h/w title fight ive ever seen , the winner did'nt even win , corrupt. I for one am sick of the WBA , and will be doing my best to let them know. I hope you join me.

    Would it be worth attempting to organise a official petition from members of this site ?, i appreciate that this would need senior members to co-ordinate.

    We did this with the huerta-Diamond, and Casamayor-Cruz fights

    I applaud what you are doing but its a waste of effort

    A rematch needs to happen with different judges that have more experience. I know the fight was boring but most Valuev fights are anyhow and justice needs to be done.

    Oh please, there have been FAR worse "robberies" than Holyfield/Valuev. In fact, there probably are every week. It's the sport of boxing that's the problem, not a particular governing body.

    You really think the judges needed more "experience"? :lol: EVERYONE scored the fight for Holyfield; my girlfriend could and she always turns to me and asks what happens when a fighter is stopped on his feet.

    The judges were bought, clear and simple. Nothing new, boxing has always been corrupt. See Lewis vs Holyfield I.

    I doubt Evander can do as well in a rematch
