I watched the fight with the commentary off.
Maybe that is why I have a different perspective?
I admit it was a shit fight with a very scared Holyfiled running away from Valuev the whole fight.
I think the reason most of the euro-haters in here think Valuev sucks is because he scares the shit out of just about everyone he fights. So his opponents run away... and 300+ pound guys just don't run as fast. So yeah I guess it makes for a boring fight.
Fact is that you gotta have balls if you are going to win against Valuev.
Chagaev has balls of brass, thats why he can do it.
Euro-haters may now resume crying.:crying:
Beats Casa-Santa Cruz imo. I admit part of that has to due wit me feelin for Holy in this fight. Finally cashed in on his 1 last chance and 3 mofo's who've never taken a punch in their lives stole it from him. BULLSHIT.
I was watching it with alot of people on a soccer site and many of them aint got a clue about Boxing but everyone of them thought Evander won. They was in shock and calling it a robbery and no wonder MMA is takin over etc..
I haven't seen the fight. But from every report I've read, Valuev didn't land ANYTHING significant and only looked like he landed ONE shot while Holyfield was off balance. Add to the fact that Holyfield was moving, dancing and throwing combinations and it seems like the winner would be relatively obvious. I'm not certain, ONCE AGAIN, as I haven't seen it. But, I can't seem to find any report to the contrary.
Agreed. It's not like Valuev took a physical beating, but the fact Valuev didn't land shit and Holyfield clearly landed the better punches except in maybe one or two rounds, puts in up there.

That has to be up there as one of the worst robberies...... | BoxingScene Community
