Gotta run cant catch the cards but should be clear WIN for Valuev. Not impressed still, though he used his jab and size effectively enough to control the fight:good
To be fair, it was a decent fight. Valuev's left hand kept landing pretty well. I've seen worse fights.
People can disrespect Valuev all they want .. sure he is not the most gifted boxer ever, and yes he is slow. But he also comes into the ring in very good shape every time around. The guy is intelligent .. very respectful did not give a single excuse vs Chagaev and now shows he can take that and work hard to improve himself. Kudos
Sergei sucks, but we already knew this. Valuev is just a little better than sucks, he's not terrible, not good, but not terrible. Decent fight, but Liakhovitch made it kinda boring, Valuev atleast tried to make it a decent fight.
If he does he needs to come back against a cream puff and build his competition for three or four fights before stepping up like this again.
Yeah, in retrospect it seems maybe beating Brewster and Briggs (for 11 rounds before gassing) should have been taken for smaller omens than they were.
