Points should be awarded for trying and effort. even though he's not the best style to watch he's trying as hard as he can and is learning every day. And I realised that after last night and I appreciate him for it. He's a pretty ok heavyweight, I can applaud him for his effort and I wish him well. That said, I think Byrd would beat him and Wlad could beat him, but if that laping right hand catches anyone its gonna be over. Thing about Valuev I noticed is he is patient and looks for openings and then takes them, we see it as boring.. but actually.. its something good. He needs to improve that defense and tighten up his jab and add a more reputoire of punches and he'll do fine.
I respect him for trying but watching a 7ft man push a guy who he out weighs by 50 kilos was pretty much a joke. It would be alright if he did just stay away and jab and box...but he gets in close and pushes and just makes it really annoying to watch. Like his personality, cant stand his fighting.
You got that right. Its like watching a Butterbean or something, just does not appeal to me at all ! its a frustrating watch !
