Valuev Vs. Holyfield This Satuday, December 20th
As far as I can tell, this isn't being shown on TV anywhere, and I'm not sure that I'd watch it anyway. This could be a slaughter.
Nicolay Valuev is the current WBA champion, and this is a title fight. Evander is 11 years older, 100 pounds lighter, and almost a foot shorter. Plus, in his last fight a year ago was a 12 round loss to Sultan Ibragimov where I hear Evander pretty much lost every round.
For Valuev, I guess this would look like an easy win against a once great name. For Holyfield, I think it's all about the money. It was reported in June that Holyfield's $10 million dollar home was under foreclosure and being auctioned off, he was being sued by a consulting company for not paying back a $550,000 loan, and he was behind on his child support payments.
I'd love to see Evander get in a lucky punch, win the title, get one more big payday, and retire. I have a bad feeling it's not going to happen though.
The fight is this Satuday, December 20th, in Zurich, Switzerland. If anyone knows if it's going to be on TV anywhere in the U.S., let me know.
