Honestly...I wasn't all that shocked that he lost.

The man he fought was undefeated & supposedly had a lot of game coming into the match.

I know a lot really really hated Valuev & all that...but I was impressed with all the improvement that he had begun to show of late. I would say that now that he's been beaten...everyone will find a bigger pen to write him off with now.

I'm willing to say...break out a rematch & let's see if Valuev learns something to improve on.
