Valuev vs McCline. Was it controversial...or is everyone hating the big man?
Just watched Valuev vs McCline.
For those that thought McCline had a chance...or was coming on...or whatever...he didn't have a chance.
Honestly, Valuev has gotten better...but that aint saying much. Thing is, his size is just insurmountable. Nobody out there other than one of the Klit's is gonna beat this guy.
Sorry people...but I just don't see it. He takes a shot well...& he sets up a mean combo with his jab & then puts his entire mass into his right hand hook. He hurt McCline, which again...aint saying much...but he's still here & he's beating pretty much every one that comes his way.
Also...McCline doesn't deserve a rematch. It wasnt even competitive other than a one two that McCline landed at the end of the second round and an uppercut before he blew his knee out in the third. Valuev took those shots like they didn't even connect. Sorry...it just was'nt competitive or controversial. Valuev walked through every combination that McCline could land.
Wlad will eat him alive IF they fight. Anyone that can't see that is just blind. I'd honestly love to see Vitali get him instead.

It was garbage. The fight was garbage. Valuev is garbage. Good thing for him McCline is even bigger pile of garbage. This fight shouldn't even of been made. Like you said Wack it wasn't even competitive. And the reason why was cuz McCline was not worthy of a title shot. McCline (God willing) is done, Valuev is still a joke. And the Heavyweight division is still a mess. If Tony Tucker was around today, he would rule this division with an Iron Fist.

Peter DESTROYS Nicolay Valuev. He's so lethargic, just lugs along, doesn't establish distance, and doesn't cover up very well. McCline isn't a power puncher. Neither is Barret. Or Beck. It's no coincidence that all he has fought are cute little boxers with no real power that he's been able to walk down. He's not walking down Peter.

Good pwoints. Here's the thing...everyone has bet against him in each fight...thing is...I just don't see him going down as easily as everyone else does.
We shall see.

But each fight he has been against Larry Donald, John Ruiz, Owen Beck, Monte Barret and Jameel McCline. And he lost 1 of them. Got a shady decision in the next and then went on to beat some mediocre opponents. I didn't pick any of them to beat Valuev. They aren't class competition. And Valuev just isn't a class fighter. Now if he proves me wrong then fair enough but I'm taking bets that the next guy he faces isn't ranked in the top 20 by anyone other then the alphabet associations.
