Evander Holyfield is Confident of Beating Nikolai Valuev

[Jedi Kasra]

Holyfield's gonna pull it off. Too bad it's being held in Germany, he'd be the sentimental favorite over here. Remember Saturday on the telecast of Rahman-Klitschko? Jim Lampley stated the Valuev was "sadly" defending the WBA title against the 46-year old Evander Holyfield. Remember when they were saying the same thing about Kelly Pavlik fighting Bernard Hopkins? Look what happened there. The "Great White Hope" of the middleweight division got his butt kicked by the old man. I knew Hopkins was gonna whip him, just not that bad. I'm not expecting Holyfield to pull a Hopkins or Foreman against Valuev, but he will win, I'll be praying for that.

Valuev will take this on a wide UD

That's the most logical outcome although I'm sensing a corner stoppage in the mid to late rounds. Valuev's jab will be the difference.

i dont know what to think about this one, i want evander to win so he can stop fighting, but on the other hand if evander wins he will probably try to fight for the other titles. my personal wish is that evander wins by ko then retires, what will probably happen, valuev will keep an old evander at bay with that long jab on his way to a very boring ud.

Valuev should be embarrassed if he loses this weekend. Sultan gave a one-sided beatdown to Holyfield already and he even hurt holyfield in the later rounds with I believe it was a bodyshot.

Dude, Holyfield is not going to win this fight. He's going down and he's gonna get hurt.

When is this fight anyways? I might want to watch it just so i can see Holyfield's head get kicked in.

Holyfield was a great champion, but his time has passed. How can someone participate on "Dancing with the Stars" and then gets back in the ring, coming out of retirement or not even retiring in the first place.

Oh well, i guess some people learn the hard way.

I think im on the same boat as most people, in that i want holyfield to win but honestly cant see it happening

[djsygo]

Besides the fact that hes hella old, past it/near shot, lost with Sultan...hes not going to win against a guy so tall. His style is suited for fighting guys his size, where he can put his head on the other guys face and then counter and 'accidentally' headbutt. How hes gonna do this to Valuev? by jumping while he punches?

If Evander wins we'll see Holyfield vs Hopkins.

If Valuev wins we'll see Wlad vs Valuev.

It's sad the guy has brain damage and shouldn't be allowed to box.
