I'm glad Nicolay pulled it out but I thought Evander won the fight.

By the way, did you know the "George Foreman Grill" was going to be called the "Evander Holyfield Grill?" Holyfield, not exactly a business genius, turned the idea down.

True story.

Holyfield was obviously on a mission to squander his fortune and impregnate every black female in the Atlanta area. Money be damned....

The Europeans were cheering for Holyfield. Yes, Holyfield won that fight. Valuev didn't throw any punches. I just don't understand it.

Holyfield deserved to win the fight. Valuev looked awful. Hopefully he'll retire now but somethings telling me he won't.Edited by: shawn1262231

I hate to post this, but I scored the fight 115-113 for Holyfield.

Someone having it a draw 114-114 or even a 115-114 win for Valuev is not being unreasonable, because it was a close fight with some rounds that were difficult to score.

But although I was rooting for Valuev, I was surprised at the judge scoring it 116-112.
