It's kind of dodgy that they aren't willing to offer Holyfield a rematch because of what Brooks said, that shouldn't have anything to do with it.
Anyways, it does seem like people at ringside saw a different fight from the one people saw on TV, 38 of 40 writers at ringside had Valuev winning, whereas most of the writers watching on TV had Holyfield winning.
That alone is mildly su****ious. When is the last time you had 38 of 40 writers score a "close" fight the same way?
Either way, it doesn't really matter, because we know who really won that fight.
Team Sauerland will reconsider its plan to offer Evander Holyfield a rematch against WBA heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev following Tommy Brooks´ outrageous remarks in the press. The coach of the 46-year-old boxing legend, who lost a close majority decision by the scores of 116-112, 115-114 and 114-114, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: “I think it was just some home cooking for a promoter’s fighter. I think somebody was just greasing somebody’s palms.” [details]
NO NO NO!!!
please don't torture us with a rematch.
valuev didnt want to fight him to begin with but was forced to because of politics.
valuev has a motivational learning disorder that makes for sht fights when he's not into it. thought he carried evander.
Sauerland must think they are talking to a bunch of uneducated fools,.. denying the rematch because of what a journalist said and blaming the viewers and fans of seeing a different fight because of the "angle" at which we were watching from the television is preposterous.
