Bit of a brainmelt not only forgetting Holyfield's knockdown loss to Bowe but also his other knockdowns apart from the Toney one, but apart from that a thorough analysis that I agree with.
Valouev will come into the ring at his lowest weight ever, and by far!!!!!!! Valouev will weight only 310.75 lbs, he used to fight at 333lbs., but has gone down in weight as low as 321lbs, so, this shows that is has trained hard. He can go 12 rounds at the higher weights with no problem, but at only 310.75lbs, he will have even more gas in the tank. He has a rock solid chin, great jab and can punch whenever he wants, is very strong also. Holyfield is coming in at only of his best weights, 214lbs,so he has trained hard also, but I don't think he will win. I expect Valouev to stop Holyfield, but Valouev likes to box, use his jab,so we will soon find out.
Evander always has a shot at winning, especially with someone like Valuev who cannot be that good. But if Evander wins that proves that the heavyweights are worse than I even thought. Evander should not win. He has been a slow fighter with not good reflexes for about 6 years.
I've had a bet on Holyfield in this one, 14-1 to win the fight on points. I don't think he will do it but those odds are ridiculous considering just how **** Valuev is. Valuev is around 2-1 to win on points so I've covered the bet by backing him too. As long as it goes to a decision I don't lose money :good
