By Jim Dower: I have grave doubts about Evander Holyfield (42-10-2, 27 KOs) ever getting a chance at a rematch with World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev (50-1, 34 KOs). As of now, Valuev has to face Ruslan Chagaev, the WBA champion in recess, in his next fight, but according to Valuev’s managing [...]

By Jim Dower: Proving how hard it is to sometimes take a title from a champion, former four-time heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield came up short last night in his attempt to capture a portion of the World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight title from champion Nikolay Valuev, losing by a 12-round majority decision in Switzerland in [...]

By Jason Kim: If you wanted to see a fight that would guarantee to disappoint and put you into a rage, then you could go no further than to watch WBA heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev’s (50-1, 34 KOs) victory, a 12-round majority decision, over Evander Holyfield (42-10-2, 27 KOs) tonight at the Hallenstadion, in Zurich, [...]

By Aaron Klein: In one of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen in my life, World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev (50-1, 34 KOs) defeated former 4-time heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield (42-10-2, 27 KOs) by a controversial 12-round majority decision tonight at the Hallenstadion, in Zurich, Switzerland.

By Dave Lahr: With the fight taking place in Switzerland, which is probably comparable to the fight being fought in Germany, does Evander Holyfield need a knockout to a get a win over the huge, mammoth-like WBA heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev tonight? Barring a knockout by Holyfield, I really can’t see him getting a decision [...]

By Jim Dower: With his career on the line, former 4-time heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield (42-9-2, 27 KOs) weighed in at a svelte 214 for his heavyweight contest with World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev (49-1, 34 KOs) on Saturday in Switzerland.

By Chris Williams: Some fighters just don’t know when to quit and call it a day. Often, we the boxing public, don’t see it because it often effects obscure fighters that the public isn’t aware of. However, Holyfield, 46, is a textbook case of a fighter that has over-stayed his visit in the sport [...]

Evander Holyfield is convinced that neither size nor age will matter in Saturday´s showdown with Nikolai Valuev. The 46-year-old challenger is determined to become the oldest heavyweight champion in the history of boxing when he takes on the Russian Giant in front of a sell-out crowd of 12.500 fans in Zurich. In order to put [...]

By William Mackay: Evander Holyfield (42-9-2, 27 KOs) doesn’t know the word quit, but after Saturday night, he might want to add it to his vocabulary, because in facing seven foot Nikolay Valuev (49-1, 34 KOs), he’ll be at a tremendous disadvantage and will almost surely lose the fight. For those who are keeping [...]
