The only good thing is that it did not turn out, a tragedy, I did not care any which way it went. It should have been a no contest, if there was not enough action in the fight.

[JT Rock]

I dont see it as a robbery,I see it as one of the worst fights Ive ever watched, but not a robbery.
Valuev landed more effective blows,Holyfield threw more punches,but as often as not,hit low or the arms,and barely missed a deduction for head butting in to Valuevs chin.Also Holyfield faded in the second half.
That being said,I never want to see either of them in a ring again,as long as I live.It was the worst fight of the entire card.
Im having a hard time just getting Martin/Mahfood 2 even booked,and that crap was a $24 PPV?

Sorry man I like you, but that whole paragraph is about as inaccurate as you can get.. An arguement can be made that Holy pitched a shut out, Valuev didnt land one solid shot on Holy, Evander was on his toes the whole fight had great lateral movement picked off Valuev's jab and slipped just about every punch along with putting on a counter punching clinic..

Its no secret that you are one of the top 2 Holyfield haters around here with frozensolid 702 being#1 so I think your pretty biased on this one..

As far as the headbutt goes, Evander slipped a right and came up under his chin, not to hard to fathom when you are giving up a foot to your opponent

[KananKrus]

I should have Holyfied vs Valuev dotted for Robbery of the Year! Nah!

[superheavyrhun]

Merged so the discussion stays in one place.

But seriously, I saw up until 1/2 way through the 10th round, and I was convinced that Holyfield was going to win, because Valuev didn't seem to be doing anything except pivoting around like a bear tied to a stake, while Holyfield circled him, dived in to land occasionally, then got back out of range. Frankly, it's an outrage that Holyfield isn't celebrating being a five-time world champion tonight, but that in itself is a statement on the farcicle state of the heavies at the moment.

[Gandalf]

Not a good fight to watch, and a deplorable decision.

Im no Holyfield fan, but he was screwed.

This can be such a disgusting sport. Judges need to held accountable for their decisions.

[CountryBoy]

They need to retract and give it to Holyfield, I mean he trained hard for that fight and he is 46 years old, A rematch would be a really bad idea being he would just be that much older and Bigfoot would actually train harder. Holyfield won and he deserved the nod.

Everyone who responded here look at Fightnews.com read that and tell me what u think about that!

I did not see the fight BUT judging boxing can be very subjective. That being said, the judges were from neutral countries, so the only way the fix was in is if the WBA was involved. I Would not be surprised as the governing bodies are a joke, but since the WBA was involved there is no way the decision would be reversed so that is wishful thinking. This is another reason boxing needs to be rescued. Hopefully someone like a John McCain can establish some kind of order. The Ring is the closest thing we have, and I have my doubts about it since it is owned by GBP.....

I think Holyfield may have been screwed out of a win but to say he was screwed out of the Heavyweight Championship is a farce....

[toogood4u]

So this fight will have a big appeal from the Holyfield camp for sure?Court case for the boxing board of control?This is the question to you guys who seen the fight!

a guy that can barely pay his bills is not going to start hiring lawyers to fight this that cost probably alot of money and atleast a yr if it happens

[CountryBoy]

The WBA did fix this fight, They did not want to lose the money that Klitschko Vs Valuev would generate. I hope Holyfield raises some hell to get this reversed and becomes 5 time champion.

[Gandalf]

It would be great if someone could collect all the opinions together from all the threads on all the boxing sites together, and make sure the WBA knows how pissed off a lot of people are about their inablity to gather 3 judges who are paid to do a job that in this case wasnt all that complicated.

And fights outside of the UK and US should be boycotted. And even they are far from perfect.

Im up to here with, sloppy points decisions.

[ono]

Do you guys remember how in the 1st Miranda/Abrham fight, how Abraham's people...and i mean allll.....of them around the ring were going to do what ever it took to make sure Miranda walked out with his title. I remember poor Randy Newmann trying to stop the fight but he knew that he probably wouldn't have made it out of the arena alive. I remember Abraham groaning in pain and looking to quit(rightfully so) but all the people around ringside would not allow it.

Bottom line.

You have to kill the champ overseas to get the title!!

Poor Holyfield. He would have had to killed that giant, but i bet they would have postponed the fight till they revived him, then allowed the fight to continue.

I wouldn't count Britain in that.

I haven't seen the fight yet but i feel really bad for Holyfield.

[ono]

i scored it 117-111 holyfield. i'm flabbergasted at the decision. the worse thing is holy will continue to fight thinking he can still be champion.

Yeah but if he's practically shut out one of the champions, is he really that crazy for thinking he can?

At worst they should make Valuev go to USA for the rematch with a pro Holyfield crowd and see how the judges react to that.

Nope,sorry,I gave the first two rounds to Holyfield,and made a point of watching it with someone else,who saw it exactly as I did.
And trust me,I thought Valuev sucked as well,but he just sucked more effectively
Evander spent to much of the second half of the fight bouncing outside and not doing a thing,and it cost him the fight. Just like Hopkins took too many rounds off against Taylor,and Im sure youd say Im the biggest Hopkins fan on here. And while I think Bernard won that,it wasnt the robbery of the century either.
Same fight almost note for note.
I take an attitude of,it could have gone either way. Again the biggest robbery of the night(other then Valuev and Holyfield stealing money) was the womans bought right before.
And Im no huge fan of Valuev,he should have a tattoo on his chest saying,"Do Not Attempt To Operate Heavy Machinery While Watching Him Fight"
And I dont think it was a crowning achievment for Valuev,if he let Holyfield out of the corner one more time.............
Its was a doggrel fight,and Im praying Valuevs people screw up,and put him in with someone who can convincingly beat him,so I dont have to watch him anymore.
Again though read the whole post,it could have gone either way,and when your fighting the champion,you need to whup his ass. Chageav beat the snot out of Valuev,it wasnt even close. Evander needed to make sure it didnt go to the judges,or be more active,not dancing around on the outside,but landing legit power shots. He didnt do it.
And hate to break it to you again,Evander was a brilliant Cruiserweight. And if he didnt use that hard noggin as often as his fists,a solid HW champ if not a great one. I dont like his lifestyle, but who cares about his lifestyle when the bell rings? Sonny Liston wasnt exactly a choir boy,but he was a great fighter
