Could of been like Mason Dixon saying to Rocky before the fight, "There is no reason for either one of us to get hurt. I'll do my best to carry you and make you look good but if you try to hurt me or cheep shot me, I'll get you out of there".

Remember that one.

That did cross my mind more than once during the fight.

It appeared Valuev was not giving it 100%, not being aggressive.

NO valuev was just too damn heavy and slow..and if he would have tried harder..he would have gassed and probrably got dropped like a evergreen

Ya too many Rocky References surrounding this fight... not much else to say at this point.

He went to wars with Ruiz 2 times. So I believe he went easy on him and most of all DIDN'T TRAIN HARD FOR HIM.

no. fixed fight.

valuev looked thicker around the waist this time.
in my eyes he fights like he was looking past evander.
i'm amazed evander was still moving in the 12rd.

valuev will get deserved negative feedback.
and the hvwt div. circus keeps traveling around.

Valuev was looking forward to xmas, too much eggnog he took his eye of the ball, it took an early xmas present to get him out of trouble.
