Valuev Vs. Larry Donald - October 1st!

[!! Mr. Soprano]

Finally Valuev stepped up to competition. Not saying Donald is great, but it is certainly a huge step in Valuev's competition.

Out of Donald's 3 losses, Vitali was the only one to knock him out in the 10th.
I'm very curious how Valuev does...

Donald has good ring experience a good stamina and a good chin...
I would even give him the edge. I see him dancing around Valuev all night, the hitting/retrieving.. Valuev will be too slow to counter. Something similar to Wlad / Peter, only Valuev has the size advantage.


What do you think: will Valuev walk through Donald as he did with the rest of his competition, or will Larry give Nikolay his first loss?



Good Match-up

[enadeus]

Valuev by KO.

this is valuevs best competition so far, which is so ****in sad

This is an interesting fight. Donald had a draw his last fight and he's older, but I can see him bothering the giant...

Probably a Valuev W, but maybe Nicolay's best test to date.

All I hope for is that this one will finally be televised!
The fight again is in Germany

U.S. TV on the night that Jones-Tarver III and Toney-Guinn are on HBO & Showtime? Doubtful...

Could be repackaged as the undercard on a small-time PPV down the road or maybe on one of the Sports pak channels on directv, but I imagine we'll have to depend on one of our Euro friends uploading this one to see...

Someone post the tale of the tape for me.

If it's in Germany, it's a Sunday fight here. Maybe taped delayed for Fox Sunday Night Fights...?

I'll hopefully be able to catch it live and I can do a round-by-round if anyone's interessted.

Valuev was supposed to fight Ruiz I thought. Why the sudden change?

Anyway, I still don't think too much of Valuev as he's very slow, has next to none defense and still armpunches. He should get exposed soon.

You saved me the trouble of replying to your previous post.

That's what I was hoping for. This is def. not HBO, or SHO material
