I'm glad Holyfield lost because he doesn't deserve to be a five time champ, and he doesn't deserve to beat Foreman's record, but...
...what the hell does that say about European judges. No wonder the yanks won't come over here! I know we're a lot fairer in the UK but come on :-\
Wow Evander must win an award for being the most gracious loser of all time.
He got plain robbed and yet still was respectful of everyone and even said Valuev was a good fighter.
If I was Holyfield I would have held the interviewer hostage until they changed the decision.
What a crock of shit.
si.com had it 118-110 Holyfield!

No doubt....screaming "For once Evander get pissed man" based off this Valuev should NEVER be mentioned in the same breath as Lewis & ForemanQuote:

FIX was a FIX
We need to get together on all boxing sites spread the word we have had enough and not watch the next heavyweight fight. Demand the sacking of these refs or we wont watch anymore.
Not that I paid :p.
Holyfield was well and truely robbed
Thanks Andre....maybe John Ruiz protesting last fight is not fool of s!!! after all ??
he earned his victory and fact is he beat a guy that's almost a foot taller than him and a good 11 yrs younger than him, and is probably a good 100 lbs. heavier than him also, doesn't matter how he did it, just cause he's 46 he deserved the claim to be oldest champion, hell i don't like the fact that Calzaghe is tied with Hopkins in title defenses but shit he has the same number, although nowhere close to the amount of talent or big names. and bud i've seen PLENTY of shitty decisions and refs in the UKQuote:

And like-wise shitty decisions in Vegas, but not with the same regularity as those in Germany and the rest of main-land-Europe. And at least the bad decisions in the UK and Vegas are in fights that are at least remotely close.Quote:

there should be an immediate rematch and they should bring back euginia williams for that 1 .
Evander was class, he was crap to watch but won that fight so clearly I feel bad for him.Quote:
