Nikolai Valuev Wins Controversial Decision Over Evander Holyfield to Retain WBA Belt

Nikolai Valuev (50-1, 34 KOs) hardly threw a punch and inflicted no damage to the challenger Evander Holyfield (42-10-2, 27 KOs) yet the judges kept the WBA heavyweight belt around the waist of the seven-foot Russian after 12 rounds.

 

The decision was met by a chorus of boos from those attending the fight in Zurich, Switzerland as Holyfield was clearly the crowd favorite and appeared to have done enough to capture a share of the heavyweight championship for the fifth time in his career.

 

Holyfield, 46, looked as if he had clearly won enough rounds to take the belt yet his 35-year-old opponent took the decision.

 

Judges scored the fight 114-114, 116-112 to Valuev and 115-114 to Valuev.
