Prime Vitali Klitschko vs Prime Evander Holyfield

[BattlingNelson]

Yes just yes. "Everybody at ringside" doesn't mean ****. Brian Doogan and everyone who had Valuev winning lost a lot of respect in my book. You could clearly tell Evander was landing and Valuev wasn't. Holyfield won that fight clear as day. Evander outboxed him and Valuev wasn't winning the rounds because of one simple reason, HE DIDN'T LAND. Valuev might have come forward (and rarely threw), but Holyfield didn't throw often, but when he did, he landed.

Valuev, at most, won 3 rounds.

The highly respected reporter Graham Houston had Valuev winning. No european media cried robbery. Those cries primarily came from US based trade websites not present at the venue.

evander....granite chin,speed,power,superior boxing

...Evander is in my top five favorite boxers of all times and I loved him. However, he did not have a granite chin and was hurt and made me nervous more times than I can remember. Vitali is just too big for him IMO. The superior boxing does you no good if you can't hit your target because of range issues.

Who you got in this one?

I got Vitali by late KO.

holfield outboxes him

vitali is only good going backwards

against holyfield he would come foward because he would think im the bigger man so i will take the fight to him

I see this as the post I agree with the most in this entire thread. Vitali's advantages just seem to me to be too significant for Holy to overcome in this one.

A lot of Finnish boxing fans thought the fight was a bit of a robbery.


Insert a joke about TheManchine not being Finnish.

TheManchine is no where near Finland.

My joke ******, but hey, you wanted me to insert a joke about you not being from Finland right?

It was better than most I've heard.

I believe the Valuev-Holyfield fight came down to this:

1) Both threw very few punches
2) Holyfield landed a couple of them

That was about it.
