The WBA aint gonna do jack ****........ However, a rematch should be ordered..... But with a clause...... If both Holy & Valubum fight as awful as they did back in December, they should be banned for life........ But that too aint gonna happen, either......... Pointless.......... MR.BILL
And no matter who loses, John Ruiz has to retire with them. Basically I think it's gonna go like this: Chagaev vs Valuev Winner vs Ruiz Winner of THAT vs Holyfield Winner of that fight faces the loser of Valuev/Chagaev Rinse, wash and repeat. By 2010, we'll be on Holyfield-Ruiz 18.
I agree it was a shitty fight, Valuevs performance was probably the worst ever in a title-defense, and Holyfield - well he probably did his best, the best he can still do at age 46... and it was a close fight, still Holyfield was a little better than Valuev, and thus deserved to have won, and the belt.
I actually heard the WBA ordered Valuev -Chagaev winner to fight John Ruiz. I am not joking. http://www.fightnews.com/?p=5204
Whoa. I had to actually scratch my head to remember exactly what took place in that fight that was so controversial. It seems I had virtually forgot it even took place. Probably a good thing considering how horrible of "fight" it was.
I agree But holyfield won atleast 8 of the rounds - and deserved the win Altho they were both awful!!
For various reasons I have decided to ignore the WBA Heavyweight belt and act as if it does not even exist.
