My Holyfield Bet?

    WHat I don't understand is putting money on the outright win at 6/1, instead of just on the 11/1 decision.
    I can just about kinda sorta not-really-but-you-never-know imagine a bit Holyfield getting the decision, if Don King wants to make a fight between him and Wlad (though I think he prefers to keep Valuev)...
    But how on earth do you see Holyfield knocking out Valuev? The man's chin is made of rock, and Holyfield hasn't knocked out a world class opponent in years.... (I checked, and apart from journeymen Vinny Maddalone and Jeremy Bates, his last knockout was Michael Moorer, a good fighter, but it was in 1997!)

    "Ready for the fight, Nikolay?"
    "Pff, yeah, suppose."

    Is Valuev recovering from a recent disembowelling?
    Would explain his lighter weight, too.

    Evander made a good effort. He is not a real HW and he fought the biggest HW champ ever.. bound to be difficult. I thought Evander would have beaten many other people tonight if only they were around his own size.

    I'm really sorry to hear that. **** those cheats.

    Never ever EVER put money against Valuev. EVER! I guess that's what you learned this Saturday... This is coming from a guy who won decent money on the Chagaev fight, but still, they almost cheated that one as well... it was the only time I put money on a Valuev fight, and I'm definitely not going to do that in the rematch... if winning 9 rounds is not enough to convince the judges, it's a very risky bet.

    I will definitely back Chagaev to beat Valuev by decision in the rematch probably just £10 or £20 though. LOL
