Holyfield vs. Valuev – Can Holyfield Prove He’s Not a Has-Been?
Boxing fans get ready for a major boxing event: Evander Holyfield is going to take another shot at the heavyweight title. On December 20th at the Hallenstadion in Zurich, Switzerland, Holyfield will face World Boxing Association’s Heavyweight Champion Nikolai Valuev in what is sure to be an electrifying match. This fight is scheduled to air live in the US and Canada at 3 PM ET/12 PM PT.
For Holyfield, this will be his second attempt at reclaiming the heavyweight belt in just a little over a year. The 46-year-old boxer lost his last attempt to reclaim the title he held several times in the 1990’s, in October of 2007. He faced off against Sultan Ibragimov in a 12-round match, but his loss by a unanimous points decision. Holyfield showed several weaknesses during his fight with Ibragimov, including a lack of speed and slow reflexes. These same issues have plagued Holyfield for years and were responsible for a number of his defeats. In fact, he was told by the New York State Athletic Commission to leave the sport of boxing because of his diminished abilities in the ring.
Holyfield did take two years off by claiming that he needed to recover from a shoulder injury. He returned to boxing in 2006, and for a bit, it looked like he was back to his old self. He defeated Fres Oquendo, Vinny Maddalone, and Lou Savarese fairly easily, although they were not the most difficult of opponents. When he faced up against Ibragimov, it was clear that Holyfield was fighting a much higher caliber advisory, and Holyfield did not put on a good show. It looked like Holyfield, once one of the biggest names in boxing and the man who made history by defeating Mike Tyson, had lost his edge.
But that was a year ago, and a lot can happen in that amount of time. Now Holyfield faces Valuev, the current heavyweight champion. Valuev had previously held the title, but he lost it to Ruslan Chagaev in April of 2007. Chagaev, however, has been out of the sport for much of the year with injuries and illnesses. After Chagaev pulled out of their match, the 35-year-old Valuev took back the vacant title after defeating John Ruiz on August 30, 2008. According to WBA rules, Valuev will have to face Chagaev in a match for the belt by June 26, 2009. Of course, that’s a match Valuev may never see.

If Holyfield defeated him for the title, he will be the one to go up against Chagaev. But can the older man show that he’s still got the skill and the power to dominate the sport? Valuev has the height—he’s 7 feet tall compared to Holyfield’s six foot two – and he’s 320 pounds; a good hundred pounds heavier than Holyfield. Holyfield, at one time, certainly had a speed advantage, but we haven’t seen that in his most recent matches. Of course, those previous matches don’t really mean anything when all is said and done. In the end, it all comes down to what happens in the ring in Switzerland on December 20.

Valuev’s Gna Batter Him Guys !!!!
The sad thing is, although Valuev won’t “batter him” (as he is a pretty poor fighter) he will probably still win, which in Holyfield’s prime would have been unthinkable. Holyfield would have destroyed as poor a fighter as Valuev in his heyday, despite the Beast from the East’s size.
is it true i can whatch the fight here? for free?
all fights?
Don’t know about other fights, but yep you can watch the fight here for free. At least I hope so!
I Just Want The Fight To Be On Already Enough Of This Waitin !!! But Ur Right Matt If Only Holfield Was 20 Years Younger He Would Put Valuev On His Ass !!! I Just Think Valuev’s Got Too Much Power And He’s Gna Shown It !!!
But Valuev isn’t really a huge puncher. OK he has 30 odd knockouts from 49 wins is it? But for a man of his huge size he doesn’t have a massive punch. Yep I’m looking forward to the fight too, but in a strange way. I love boxing, but this somehow feels more like a circus show! It’s a shame in a way that this fight is happening at all, but as it is, I will definitely be watching.
And whoever wins will get beaten by Chagaev in their first mandatory defence when he is back to full fitness.
Yeah But I Wasnt Impressed By The Chagaev Vs Valuev Fight At All Tho !! Am Rooting For A Holyfield Win But As He’s Been Suspended From Boxing 3 TIMES !!! I Cant See This Turning Out Too Nicely ??
Yep Valuev will win, Holyfield’s speed has long gone, and who knows about his chin now, he never had the strongest. No Chagaev – Valuev wasn’t a great fight, but Chagaev is by far the better boxer. Suppose it’s just hard for someone of Chagaev’s style to look good against a monster.
Anyway, we only have to wait for David Haye to get in amongst all of them and really do some damage!
Will you broadcast my fight here for free? That’s great man! I want the entire world to be able to see this fight.
Thanks! Gone to warm up…
Lol Who’s This Valuev Character Bloody Gone To Warm Up Lol !!! If Holfield Wins Haye Said He Wants The Winner But Why’s He Botherin With The Wba When Klitchko Is The Big Money Wt Tym You Reckon Its Gna Be On Matt Bout 8 ??
My head be hurtin’ already.
Gone to spike Valuev’s water!
Yep I believe its either 8 or half past, shame we didn’t get the undercard on here as well!
This fight is a joke! Going to the gym.
what time is the event at gmt timing????????
Cmon Man !!!! Whats Happenin Is The Fight Being Streamed ??? Whats The Situation ….
Pay the money you fools – nothing comes free!

@Jimbo: I can see the match. It loads well for me.
Thanks So Much Mate !!! Keeps Freezing Any Chance U Can Tweak It ??
Am I watching the right thing? Its got some wrestling.com address and demo stream pasted across the action!
Thats The One Mate !!!!!! Just Showing The Undercard Fights …. Gna Be On In Bout An Hour I Think ??
Larsen always has been a tidy fighter, still looks good even at 35 and with the few years he had out. They’re right, he could have a shot. Although I think Mikkel Kessler is a way out on his own at super middle. That guy gave Calzaghe the toughest test I’ve seen him face. I honestly haven’t seen much of Jermain Taylor. Anybody know how good he is?
Um is what im watching the right thing? Its showing a womans fight?? Or is that just one of the undercards?
Yep its a replay of a fight on the undercard, Holyfield and Valuev are on in 40 minutes. You’re watching the right thing.
Ok thanks!!
what time is valuev and holyfield fight
did i miss it?
He’s good but not great. Good counter punching style but I don’t like it. Still, it proved effective enought to do for BHop twice.
Did I miss the Holyfield match?
Yep I suppose, but I’ve never ever liked Hopkins, so negative. Holyfield – Valuev is on in 30 minutes.
Ok, thanks Matt!
Lets go Holyfield….Will the fight be on next?
Should be, I hope it is!
I fear for poor old Evander tonight chaps. I know Valuev is no Drago, but Evander is no Creed either but we could have a similar outcome!!
Bah man! the big red text box splashed across the picture is doing my head in!
Same, can you get rid of it somehow?
Why is there a banner across the pic? I is barely watchable due to this. I know this is free but why have banner across the middle of the pic?
who is the winner?
Valuev…….they robbed Holyfield
Holyfield was the winner, but Valuev got the decision.
I think that Holyfield been a winner in this match… Valuev been very passive in first 7 rounds, maybye 2 or 3 rounds was for Russian boxer. I think that decision of judges been unfair. Superiority of American boxer was visible to the naked eye.
ahhh i missed it =(
I just watched the fight. The result was ridiculous, I had Holyfield as the winner. In the begining before the fight I thought Holyfield was crazy to get into a match with someone so much bigger than he is. However Holyfield outpunched and dominated at least 80% of the fight. I’m sure there is way too much money involved and Valuev had to win to make sure the crooked WBA people can get paid more. I wasn’t much of a boxing fan, my last boxing fight was Holyfield and Lewis, I thought this would make boxing a bit exciting, but proved me wrong. I am venturing over to the MMA world.
I hope these idiots at WBA make this right.

holyfield was robbed!
Two most popular and veteran welterweight division’s boxing champions Antonio Margarito and Sugar Shame Mosley is about to show some explosive fighting skills. Both the champions have great boxing records and are not going to give up the crown that easy.
