    words can't describe what I saw today. Valuev looked horrible. Holyfield was robbed and in the post fight interview it seemed like he did not even care, no protest what so ever.

    It is time to feed Valuev to either Klitschko brother let him get brutally beat and get a career high payday and ride off into the sunset.

    What I witnessed today was a damn farce and another huge black eye for Boxing.

    One could also argue Holyfield winning and getting fed to a Klitschko would be a black eye for Boxing but the guy won the fight as ugly and bad as it was.

    No wonder the heavyweight division is such a joke.

    Don King won't let it happen. Both the klitschkos have been after Valuev, but for no avail. Really, it doesn't matters if it were the Klitschko's I don't think King would let Valuev fight anyone, that posed a threat to him.

    He didn't look great against Ruiz in his previous fight, and the Bergeron fight was a bit dull, but Valuev had seemed much better in the one-sided Lyakhovich fight.

    There was absolutely none of that in this fight. Valuev didn't seem to have a clue what to do when Holyfield circled to his right a bit...then circled to his left a bit. It totally flummoxed him. TWO different directions, by God! It's unheard of!

    I agree I'm not a huge fan of the Klitschko brothers or HW division, but after this he needs to fight 1 of them cuz he is a sham to boxing

    Meh. . . Holyfield should have punched more. Would have made a better case for this robbery. It was Valuev walking forward all night and Holyfield circling the entire time. Neither one doing much of anything.

    Holyfield was not robbed. The fake fight was extremely prefabricated with neither fighter even trying to fight. Holyfield ran around the ring while Valouev walked. It should have been called a draw and a rematch ordered and the fans should have been given their money back. I have seen almost all of Valouev's fights for many years now, that is the worst I have ever seen. Valouev can fight if he wants to, but you could tell that he was bored, so was Holyfield. Give me my money back ASAP! Chagaev will win. Klitschkos want to fight Valoeuv, but it appears they will be fighting Chagaev. Roy Jones was the first to introduce Valouev to American fans on HBO years ago, he was very impressed, so were most, but at that time Valouev was only making $2,000 per fight. Valouev can fight, he needs to fire his new trainer and simple overpower his opponents, which he can easily do. He could have knocked Holyfield out if he wanted, he was much stronger. Holyfield could not even but Valouev! Holyfield was tired for no reason, it's a shame.

    Woh many of you guys actually have seen the fight? Most of them cry robbery whenever someone looses without waving seen the actual fight. This fight was not a good one actually one of the worst HW-Champ fights in the last years, but Evander didn“t do enough for a contender. I had Valuev winning this by a point on round per round scoring.

    I saw the fight. There was no winner, but Holyfield was not robbed. It was a disgrace. Extremely boring. I can't really complain that Valoeuv won, if Holyfied had gotten a close decision I would not have complained, only fans were robbed. Call it a draw and order a rematch, but nobody would show up!
