Round 1 utterly boring. Bergeron made a total of 3 attacks (!) during the entire round and looked horrible, landed nothing. He ran (walked) around the ring backwards all the time, Valuev landed a right hand and an uppercut. He didn't land much but at least was active and took the round. Valuev 10 9
Yea first round was snail paced... Valuev pressed the attach and cought him with a right and an uppercut.
Round 2 Bergeron He did a bit more, they traded punches a few times, Valuev had the best of the first two minutes but Bergeron landed a straight left hand (southpaw) that actually buckled Valuev's knees, strange, his punches are very slow and seem to have little snap.
2 round. More action than in the first. Valuev got some good shots in at the firs half but at the last 30 secs got hit by a nice shot from Bergeron that buckled him for a sec.
Bergeron is a slow starter. Not because he likes to take time and analyze his opponent, but because he likes them to get increasingly confident. Once they can smell victory, he turns it on, demoralizes them, and crushes them. Valuev will be no different.
Round 3 for Bergeron again. He seems to copy Chagaev's book on how to beat Valuev exactly, coming in and throwing double straight left hands and backpaddeling the rest of the time. It works well.
