Valuev wasn't robbed

I scored the fight 115-113 in favor of Chagaev, but it was close and I wasn't confident the judges were going to give Chagaev the win. Chagaev landed more good punches, and I think Valuev was shaken a couple of times late in the fight. Valuev won some rounds, but he was relying on his jab too much. Nicolay knew he had lost when the fight ended, and he was graceful in defeat, by giving full credit to his opponent in an interview. I felt sorry for him, but I'm happy that the judges made the right decision.

Valuev wasn't robbed. Chagaev has earned his WBA title with a good, hard-fought win. He's an entertaining boxer who'll help create a better public image for the heavyweight division.

this fight ****** no one won we all lost if we watched it, they need to remove the heavyweight division or at least label it its true name the fatass division, also doing away with the supermiddleweight division where joe hides would be nice

Ther where people thinking Chagaev vs. Valuev is a mismatch and Chagaev is not good ect. but today Chagaev showed that he is a solid fighter and has ended the freak show!! Bye Bye Valuev!!

yeah, valuevs been way overrated. Sure hes a difficult guy to fight due to his size, but i knew his days were numbered, i thought that chagaev had the goods to beat him, but i was counting on corrupt judges to give it to valuev. Luckily that wasnt the case, not that i woulda cried robbery if valuev had won, thats just what i was thinking before the fight, but i thought Chagaev deserved the nod.

They both suck though, that fight was horrible. Now, I know why hbo didn't want it... Slow as molasses, both of them were slow as hell. Wlad would kill either of them. And I change my mind. Briggs can beat Chagaev. I didn't know that they both threw so damn slow. I know their heavyweights but thats ridiculous that they throw like they are so out of shape.

Well, keep in mind Valuev is a difficult guy to look good against, especially when your basically a foot shorter and 100 pounds lighter. I thought that Chagaev fought a very measured and strategic fight, and just basically did what it took to win. I wouldnt wanna underrate him based on that performance.

I cant stand you!! This was a good heavyweight fight. Like baserocks said Valuev is verry difficult to fight but Chagaev did verry well, better than anyone else before. He had a good gameplan and hes stuck to it the whole fight, Chagaev and his trainer studied Valuev well and had the perfect gameplan to beat the giant. Chagaev made Valuev miss and ducked under most of Valuevs punches and i dont think Chagaev was slo, his hands were pretty fast IMO. he also has improved his footwork. Chagaev normally is a agressive fighter comming forward but in this fight he did everything well and stuck to the gameplan!
I rank Chagaev the 3rd best heavyweight right now, Nr.1 Wladimir and Nr.2 Peter
