Yahoo had it 116-112 for Valuev. Take a look at the punch stats. I thought a draw was in order but oh well. Nicolay won't have the belt for long if that is any consolation.
Holyfield clearly outboxed Valuev, who should go back to the cave he came out of. That scum bag piece of ****. He should never box again, and the judges who gave him the fight should commit suicide. I'm so ****in mad right now. The old guy was robbed. a bunch of bull****. Valuev is going to fight Klitschko? Wtf who cares. This guy is a joke. Worse then Primo Canera. :-(
total robbery, Evander was back to his very best tonight, just a matter of time before he wins the titles back.....Evander can unify this thang.
I feel so bad for Holyfield- Super sad day in boxing- Broke ass 46 year Holyfield beat Valuev- 9 rounds 3 maybe 8-4 if you're being EXTREMELY generous and got ****ing robbed in Switzerland. ****ing schiesty european bribed judges, it's ****ing disgusting, Holyfield is the man, one of the greatest Heavyweights of all time and he whups a prime 7footer when he's shot as **** and gets robbed. I've never been more disgusted at a decision.......A Holyfield win would've eclipsed George Foremans win cause Foreman did it at 45 and Holyfields 46 which woulda made him the oldest champ ever and the only 5 time Heavyweight champ ever, putting an unbelievable cap on a top 50 p4p of all time career. Foreman was old at the time of the Moore fight but not very shot at all cause he's a tank, he did good in recent fights leading up to the Moore fight but Holyfield hasn't looked good and has progressively looked shakier, more feeble and weaker since '98, maybe even earlier. Valuev barely hit Holyfield the whole fight!!! Holyfield mostly just danced and pot shotted with low punch volume as well but he at least connect 5-10 times per round. What a robbery. One of the most disgusting by far how can you screw over poor old Holyfield like that! A win woulda meant another big Payday title defense for Holyfield helping him climb out of his debt so he doesn't have to keep fighting for small purses until he's 55, now he's ****ed and will never get another good payday from boxing again (unless the right thing happens and there's a rematch) and will proly fight on until he gets seriously hurt or dies as result...how else is his punch drunk ass gonna make money. Just all around one of the saddest things I've ever seen and goof Valuev celebrating after the decision was announced made me sick. If there's a rematch it should not be allowed to happen anywhere besides the UK and the US. The european bull**** decisions are almost making me never wanna watch another fight held outside of North America, Mexico or the UK.
I told my son during the, ummm lets call it an event I didn't see a fight, that Valuev looked like a guy that already knew if he stayed on his feet he was going to get the decision.
You do realize that this probably sets up a rematch :-( I swear these corrupt organizations are doing everything in their power to keep complete unification from happening.
I had Holyfield winning clearly. DLH's new statue from the staples center would of put up a better fight than Valuev. It pissed me off even more when he lifts his arms in the air after the fight "Gladiator" style as if he were saying "Are you not entertained!?!?"
