[/quote]Ok, Holyfield landed more punches than Valuev no doubt at all in my mind about that.
When rounds are slow with nothing much going on you can score that round on ring generalship. He took away Valuev's attack by using lateral movement, something he(Valuev) could not adapt to.[/quote]
I thought Valuev threw more, Holyfield landed more. Id be very interested in seeing the punch stats (where can we get hold of them?).
I totally see your point but the counter argument is that there is a fine line between executing this gameplan and just running away staying out of range. Is taking away Valuevs attack by ignoring your own enough to win a round. I totally see Holy's gameplan and it was executed well enough in some rounds, its just a shame he couldnt have gone in and out more as then there would have been a clear winner (in my eyes).
There were a bunch of rounds where Holyfield threw nothing and just circled staying out of harms way. Valuev followed him around slowly and pawed out the jab, rarely landing but pawing out all the same. Imo those are Valuev rounds.
