Gerald Nobles looked terribly out of shape and got disqualified for repeated low blows. Both looked like **** and aren't anyway near a legitimate contender rank. This was one of the worst HW boxing matchups I've ever seen. Valuev (2,13) had a huge size advantage over Nobles (1,81) but was way to slow and untalented to capitalize on that. Whatever the best man in the ring was the referee ... and he was **** as well.

Valuev looked realy impressive in his last fight! Was he just out of Shape, or was Nobles maiking it a horrible show. By the Way you kow Nobles always has had those man ******* correct? If thats what you used to determine he was out of shape! -

...Yeah, not sure how you tell a guy looks like **** after 4 short rounds. Sounds like a little German envy of the Russian boxers.Comment

I've seen a lot of HW bouts and I've seen some really bad ones but this one was just a disgrace for the sport. Valuev looked like he didn't know what to do. He wasn't able to hold Nobles on distance, he wasn't even able to connect with his jab which is pretty sad considering his huge size and reach advantage. In fact I'm quite happy about this fight being stopped so early because I'm not sure if I would've been able to follow it much longer. Don't get me wrong, it's not about Valuev being Russian or Nobles being American. It was just a very bad fight and I use to tell what I think. Nobles stunned Valuev once with some wild hooks that were very predictable and Valuev just stood there and didn't know how to react.Originally posted by pbds
I have to admit that I haven't seen a lot of Nobles before but he just looked out of shape with these ******* and all the weight he was carrying. He wasn't fast, nor controlled, nor anyway near the standards for a good HW. He might have a good punch though but that's about it.
Funny thing is it looked like most of his low blows weren't thrown on purpos. Valuev had such a huge size advantage that it looked like Nobles could headbut him to the groin. And Nobles punches were far from accurate. That guy acted like he'd be surprised after he was finally dqed. The ref took 3 points for low blows before that.
In my opinion its just the bad state of HW boxing that makes a future hope out of a slow and untalented giant like Valuev. I'm sorry if that sounds a little harsh but as I've said before this fight was worse than bad.Comment

Hey do you know where we can watch those guys?
I heard of them so I'd like to take a look to make my opinion, even though it doesn't sound exciting :-)Comment

I don't think that Valuev will be shown on television in the USA in the near future. So you might have to get a tape in order to see him.Originally posted by pinaldino
Nobles should fight on some undercards soon as he's one of Don Kings fighters.Last edited by Dude; 11-21-2004, 05:24 PM.Comment
