    That sucks. Im not watching the rematch. As much as I think it was a bad decision, do we really want to see Holyfield fighting better fighters than Valuev? Not that it excuses the decision, but lets face it Holyfield is done. And its only a matter of time before Valuev loses again anyway.

      Who wants to see these two 'fight' again? Neither a worthy to hold any form of title belt, no matter how worthless it is.
      Holy bleongs in a retirement home and Valuev in a zoo.

                You'll find the fight in the video trading forum here - post 16 by Eustabio.

                Alternatively, just type "Holyfield Valuev *******" into a well known search engine and you will come up with a few options.

                Being honest, I'm not sure what this whole thing will achieve: -
                Whilst the WBA rules of boxing pretty much give the organisation the right to interpret the rules as they see fit, I don't see them overturning the initial decision and awarding the bout to Holyfield. At most, a rematch will be ordered and a series of expensive legal wrangles will then ensue, not least over who has the promotion rights to any re-match. This could drag on for months, and will detract yet further from status of what should be the pinnacle of boxing.

                What I don't get is who is the actual WBA champion - Ruslan Chagev is listed on the WBA website as their heavyweight title holder, although BoxRec & Ring both show that the Valuev-Holyfield fight was for the WBA belt.

                  The result should be changed no question about it. I hoe the aint a rematch, I dont think I could sit through it again.

                    Look again; Chagaev is 'champion in recess' while Valuev is champion. I think that just recognises Chagaev never lost the belt, and gets a crack at winning it back if/when he is fit enough.
