Well JB's assessment was spot on, and by most accounts, Holyfield should have won on the cards... but Valuev escaped with a majority decision win in what boxing fans around the world are calling one of the most abysmal heavyweight title fights in history. But the real winner was me, because I did not see the fight. JB can give a better synapsis of this "fight" later since he paid for it.
And with that, it brings a close to the boxing calendar for the year 2008. It was an interesting year, a lot of good things happened, and a lot of bad. But where does boxing, as a sport, stand now compared to a year ago? Who cares, because we're all huge fans anyway, right?
So stay tuned to the Flyweight site, we ain't going anywhere. In fact, our year is far from over... I will be posting a Year in Review, and me and JB both have to give you our Year-End Awards. Look for that in the upcoming days. Until then, enjoy your holidays and stay warm.
Yours in pugilism,
Richard C. Nougat
