Vs Andreas Sidon

I wanna see the fight with Sidon, I found this review of it on another site.

"Yesterday shortly before the new year,at 23 .00 German tv channel spreekanal showed Andreas Sidon's legendary fight against Nikolay Valuev.
That fight took place in Prague/Czech Republic-it was Sidon 's second pro fight whereas Valuev had already entered a pro box ring for about 20 times.
Had heard and read a lot about this fight ,but had never seen it before yesterday. It was surely the weirdest heavy weight fight I have ever seen ,and the most dangerous one for me(haha! my friends and my family almost killed me as I dared to watch boxing at about one before new year-didnt know that boxing was on-we were only looking for local russian channel) .
As for the fight Sidon vs Valuev:
first round: Valuev scored two standing counts,Sidon looked like a true no-hoper,wasnt able to offer any resistance,Valuev hit Sidon with some telling punches,ref was a joke hindering Valuev to knock Sidon out

second round: Sidon started hitting back,but was still hardly able to survive that round,Sidon looked like a mediocre journeyman

third round : Sidon fought back,a lot of wrestling,very competitive round,Sidon looked like a decent pro fighter,but Valuev was still the better man--------------then all of a sudden the ref stopped the fight.
Hell was breaking loose. 2000 specatators went beserk throwing full bottles aiming at Valuev but almost hitting Sidon's head. Specators were getting crazy emptyting their beer,coke,orange juice over the fighters(the fight took place in a theatre) .
Sidon was getting crazy,too,raising his hands pushing the ref signaling at Valuev to continue fighting . After about 30 seconds of mayhem Valuev agreed to keep fighting - Sidon pushed Valuev's coach to clear the ring.
The ref tried to flee but was forced and threatned by spectators to go back to the ring.

fourth round: both Valuev and Sidon seemed to be on slippery ground (due to the amount of beer and other liquids which were thrown into the ring) looking like ice-skaters hardly able to land any telling punch.

fifth round: ref tried to fllee again,but had to return to the ring again,competive round,a lot of wrestling,Sidon showed a very couregeous round,but still lost it.
Round didnt seem to take 3 minutes but only more or less 2 minutes.

sixth round: cant remember very well,but think that ref tried to fllee again,and was successful,last round took place without a ref,a lot of wrestling took place,game Sidon was getting better and better,but still lost last round of this legendary fight ,too. The last round again seemed to last more or less 2 minutes,and not 3 minutes.

That fight was later declared a no contest.
Andreas Sidon is a German heavy who started pro boxing at the age of 36 years-he had been a Thailand based muy thai fighter before he took up pro boxing. Sidon' s pro record is now 25-5. Boxrec ranks him 64 ahead of guys like Releford,Sprott,Meehan,Denis Bakthov,Roman Greenberg."
