    One might say that Valuev ''controlled'' the action from the middle of the ring. Others might say Holy landed the harder and cleaner blows and was dancing around the Neanderthaler.

    And what about the 116-112 score for Valuev?

    I saw the fight. All apart from some of the 5th when my video screwed up.

    And yes.

    no

    i thought noone deserved to win.

    tbh i didn't score the rounds. but i thought a draw would be appropriate at the end, since noone did jack ****.

    Holyfield clearly won. Even if it was boring, Holyfield still won almost every round.

    Awful fight for both fighters really, but Valuev did nothing at all in the early rounds. Holyfield was robbed.

    Valuev only controlled the ring if you don't know what you're watching. Evander kept Valuev turning the whole fight. That's why Ogre did'nt do ****. Pawing your jab because you can't get a fix on your opponent is not controlling the ring.

    It's almost inconceivable to me that a man who landed, what, 12-15 punches in the ENTIRE FIGHT. Could have won a decision, but frankly, I wasn't really that surprised or offended by the outcome.

    There were more punches landed in any single round of any of the three Holy-Bowe fights than there were in this entire "fight"

    he barely won, some people are acting like it was totally one sided, both didn't do enough.

    Yes, It came down to Holyfield landing the cleaner and more effective punches. Simple.

    Nope. Holyfield didn't do enough after the fourth and Valuev was the aggressor. They both landed about the same.
