Just watcehd Valuev vs. Etienne
I didn't have a problem with alot of his stuff... people said he was a bubbling oaf, and maybe he was against Ruiz, but for the most part he did pretty good against Etienne though he did catch a few overhand rights... they seemed like a little fly hitting him, and his jab seemed to hurt Etienne more... Its funny because at one point Etienne runs around him and they get tied up and Valuev knocks him hard to the ground.

When a boxer misses a punch, the air hurts Ettienne
Re: Just watcehd Valuev vs. Etienne
The only two people to KO him are/were Valuev and Mike Tyson... Lamon Brewster and Francois Botha both went the distance with him, and Calvin Brock TKO'ed him ,but couldn't knock him out.

I think Lamon Brewster tore his ACL in the first round right?

He took a first round dive against Tyson! It was f*cking pathetic!

I feel sorry for Clifford Etienne with the robbery and everything. He's not a very good boxer and tries to make a living, then he gives up and does something foolish sometimes.

I'm d/ling them right now... also his entrance vs. Etienne was awsome he had live music, and I liked the song.

Yea well what does that say about Ruiz and Donald?Donald had only lost to Riddick Bowe,Kirk Johnson and Vitali Klitschko before he lost to Valuev.Ruiz had only been outboxed by Roy Jones,Holyfield since 1996!It must say something that a guy of his size has the ability to outbox much smaller quicker guys.
Re: Just watcehd Valuev vs. Etienne
Here's the thing about Valuev (Val-you-Ev) that really shocked me...the guy can actually put combinations together.
I saw the fights against Donald, Nobles, & Vidoz (have'nt seen the Ruiz fight) about a month ago...& in the past I had thought that he was decent...but involved in a lot of fixes...back to the point...he has a good knowledge of what to do & how to do it & he does it...but he telegraphs everything...scratch that cliche phrase...he advertises what he's selling to early.
Everything that he puts together & throws is negated because the man across from him knows its coming & dodges it.
I don't like him...nor am I sold...but there are plenty of matches out there that would be interesting to see...just because of the size advantage & the fact that he can box...just not effectively or on a world championship level IWO.

I am not sold either I was just suprised that he wasn't a bumbling as people first depicted him so I thought in my mind a 7 foot tall version of Toney vs. Rahman except without the core body control that Toney has always had.

He's alright his combinations make him more impressive than he is I guess, and like Wacko said you can see everything he throws a mile away except his jab, and sometimes his cross following a jab.

Agreed. He does know what to do...but he puts it on a billboard in neon lights before he does it...honestly...I think that that's his major detraction.
Re: Just watcehd Valuev vs. Etienne
James Toney can't fight Valuev until he's 41
