I watched the Valuev-Barrett fight 3 times, and yeah, it was painful to do, but I had to see something and be sure of what I saw.
I gave gave Barrett 2-6 and Valuev the rest. I thought that in 2-6, as few as they were, Barrett's punches were cleaner and he was making Valuev miss. I won'targue if you saw it differently.
That said, I still don't understand why no one sees what I see. If you want to beat Valuev, the body is the key. He's huge, but he has a VERY soft midsection. Everyone tries to take him out to the head, even though it's plain to anyone with eyes that his skull is armor plated, not t mention the fact that trying to punch a foot and a half upwards is going to drain you very fast.
Valuev's punches are slow and too infrequent. Step to the left or right of his jab, one-two hard to the body, step inside the slow right that's coming, short double left to the body, step around and keep him turning.
