Evander Holyfield vs Nikolay Valuev // Controversial Decision // Highlights

Nikolai Valuev 311 lbs beat Evander Holyfield 214 lbs by MD in round 12 of 12 Date: 2008-12-20 Location: Hallenstadion, Zurich, Switzerland World Boxing Association Heavyweight Title (1st defense of 2nd reign by Valuev). Though the fight was largely uneventful and featured no knockdowns, Holyfield narrowly missed making history by winning his fifth world title and becoming the oldest heavyweight champion in boxing history (surpassing George Foreman) and instead lost to Valuev by a closely contested, and disputed, majority decision. Holyfield kept his distance from Valuev for most of the fight but appeared to clearly outpunch Valuev, who did not sustain much offense during the fight. Nevertheless, when the fight went to the official scorecards, one judge had Valuev winning by a score of 115–114 (six rounds to five, one even) and the second had a score of 116–112 (eight rounds to four), while the third had the fight even at 114–114 (six rounds apiece). The decision was controversial, with veteran announcer Nick Charles stating "That is the worst display of officiating I have ever seen." ESPN's Dan Rafael wrote "you can make more of a legitimate argument that Holyfield won all 12 rounds than you can make one that Valuev claimed at least seven to take the fight."
