WBA to review Valuev-Holyfield
By Flattop


********* has learned that the WBA Championship Committee has ordered a panel of judges to review the contest between WBA heavyweight champion Nicolay Valuev and Evander Holyfield, for the WBA Heavyweight title, held December 20th in Switzerland. The source stated that the WBA is taking this action “Due to the respect for the opinion of the fans and the media.” Valuev (50-1, 34 KOs) retained his title with a majority decision over legendary ex-champion Holyfield (42-10-2, 27 KOs). Scores were 114-114, 115-114, and 116-112. After the decision was announced, Holyfield received applause from Swiss crowd, while Valuev was notably booed. The WBA Championship Committee will issue a decision in the following weeks.

Yeah, No way it gets Reversed. the most we can Hope for is it to be changed to a No Contest.

Or a rematch maybe.....

What are they going to do if they find that it was unfair, order a rematch? The alphabet soups have no power to change the outcome of fights, only to give out titles.

Holyfield gets the decision and then what, it would be a big shame to the sport that an old man can get a belt at the age of 46 for doing less "nothingness" than his opponent.
