    I figgered Holy to run coming in so light....but I saw Holyflied won 4 or 5 of the first 6 and Valuov won 4 or 5 of the last 6, so a draw was possible, (as one judge saw...once judge was blind as normal....and one judge had a one point up for Valuov.... and a one point win for Valuov is as I saw it....a bit of running is one thing, trying to do a marathon....plus Champion bonus was the difference.
    Holy ran just a bit too much for a bit too long. IMO.
    I swear Holy looked 35 in face and body.
    He did much better than I expected.

    Too many Rose colored glasses, and I was hoping for Holy.

    It looked to me like Holy bribed Valuev to suck much worse than normal, and Valuev's people bribed the judges to keep the belt.

    Moral of the story: If you're going to pay someone to throw a fight, the judges ain't a bad place to start.
