WBA heavyweight champion Nikolai "Giant Russian" Valuev had been attempting to contact Monte "Two Gunz" Barrett since Sunday morning to make sure Barrett was okay after losing to Valuev by technical knockout in the 11th round in Chicago Saturday night. Valuev reached Barrett on his mobile phone this morning and told him through a translator that he wished him a quick recovery and good luck in the future. The translator said that Barrett seemed "touched" by Valuev's call, and he told the translator to tell Valuev that he was in the best shape of his life, so this means he passed a true test on Saturday night.

Agreed....Nik is a scholar of sorts a very Intellectual deep person loves literary masterpieces and poetry even writes his own Poems...So it dosent suprise me that he would extend a classy gesture toward Monte Barrett...
