Holyfield V Valuev

It would be interesting to see how Wlad went against a guy with not only a longer reach, but a fair bit taller.

 

I personally think Valuev's size makes it even easier for Wlad. He's not punching down for once. His jab is more correct, much faster and much harder. Plus his footwork and speed is such that he is always going to be in a position to outjab the big man. And when he lets his power shots go he has a good chance to land them from a hurtful angle that Valuev has never experienced against midgets like Chagaev and Ruiz.

It would be interesting for sure with the two giants. But really...the only question is whether Wlad can fell him for me.

Wlad has to get through Povetkin first, and he's no joke.

 

But if you think about the times when he's holding, its a defence mechanism when smaller guys have breached his jab and he wants to prevent them doing any inside work. It's very effective but ugly.

That's not really Valuev's game, he likes it on the outside too. So hopefully this would be clinch free.

 

Probably on nuts but sometimes Eurosport show Valuev fights, although I'm not sure that they're live.

 

I think its being televised free to air on German sattellite tv ARD1. Sorry I cant speak the lingo but maybe some good soul on heres can translate, here the link

Side Show Circus by 12 rounds of boredom induced insomnia on the judges counting sheep cards...

 

Wlad or Vitali would both KO Valuev...It would be great to watch...Just to see him hit the canvas.

 

Y'know, sometimes you forget just how big Valuev is...

If he was as much of a destroyer as he looked, no-one could live with him.

 

i dunno persoanlly valuev is better than him in alot fo ways but i do see what you mean.
valuev has chin, balls and stamina...and this doesnt have anything todo with his hieght and weight.

audley is better in skills and punch but it doesnt amount to anything

 

just gives a bio of holyfield , how he has 151 children to feed, that he has wasted 200 million dollars .

germans were not really happy about it because holyfield can no longer fight in america because he cannot get a liscesce , and talks about his heart defect, but the german medical staff say he passed his medical.

the fight is live on german tv for free.

 

i agree with jeff thomas, valuev does get underated.

he uses his best assets.

he is ****ing huge/he has a good solid jab, which he throws all the time/he has great stamina and a solid chin with good workrate.

he does not do some other aspects of the game well, but he sticks to basics and he gets the wins v decent opposition.

he will keep evander on the end of a jab all night IMO and win wide on points.
