So for a lack of a punch count we're in the realm of hearsay, and I can tell you right now, the number of punches landed is not how you judge a fight or else there would be a requirement of punch stats on every fight.Quote:

Anyone who thought Valuev won, can still nominate the same, Valuev vs. Holyfield, for "Fight of the Year" honors!
Ok, it's old news I know, but...
I finally got around to watching the whole fight, it was on tv at the bar tonight. Hard to call, Valuev was more consistent and active throught the round, Holyfield usually managed a very brief little flurry at the end of the round. Put it under a magnifying glass and maybe, just maybe you can make a case for Holyfield, but honestly I don't think it was the outrage that most made it out to be. I've seen plenty worse, Incuding Lewis Holyfield I, DLH Trinidad, and others.
Toss a coin, who cares. 108-108 like Plop said. I'm just glad we don't have to call Holyfield champ.
CGM i going to have to disagree with you Value did nothing to win it Evander Holyfeild even with his flurys landed more punchs during that fight not only that but Value just plodded around not throwing anything that does not win you rounds i would say Holyfeild won the fight plain as day.
Well, I saw lots or rounds where Valuev threw out jabs, and Holyfield did nothing at all except for maybe 5-10 seconds of activity. So go figure. But yeah 140, I know I'm in the minority. But I didn't exactly count punches or anything. Anyways, it looks like there will be a rematch, hopefully it'll be Valuev in control.
Tell you the truth and i know i am hoping for the best i hope Holyfeild wins and then calls it a day and never fights again but i dont think that while happen but i just hope he know its done and that he can go off on a win and say he done somthing no one elese has and just be happy.
