Ron Borges on Valuev/Holyfield
The SAV SCI MMA blog — ... ring. Holyfield proved that by plodding through 12 embarrassing rounds, most of them spent bouncing up and down while staying several arms lengths away from Valuev. It figures this fight was staged in Switzerland. Didn’t they sit out World War II? Valuev and Holyfield did the same thing Saturday night. The sad thing is that 46 year old Holyfield may have been the most formidable challenger Valuev has fault. For some reason he won’t get in the ring with either Klitschko brother….. Boxing, Valuev, Holyfield all lose @ The Sweet Science
