Sports: Holyfield Appeals Championship Loss
December 26th, 2008
Holyfield appeals his championship loss. Heavyweight boxer Evander Holyfield says he was robbed. The 46-year-old slugger is appealing last weekend’s 12-round loss to champion Nikolay Valuev to the World Boxing Association, The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports. Many observers agree that the former champ clearly won the bout. But according to the observers who really matter – two of the three official WBA judges – Holyfield was outscored by the Russian giant. Although Guillermo Perez Pineda saw things even at 114-114, Mikael Hook and Pierluigi Poppi, saw 7-foot Valuev the winner by scores of 115-114 and 116-112, respectively. An angry Holyfield told the Atlanta Journal Constitution, “I don’t know why the judges did that, but it’s an injustice. We’re filing a protest that basically says, ‘We want you to overturn this.’ I just want what’s rightfully mine. I didn’t lose. I won.”
I understand, he whooped that big ole Russians tailm They said he won because he’s big and white and he should’ve beat Evander because of the size difference, but Evander had the best hits
HEY PUNCHDRUNK, EVERY TIME YOU LOSE YOU SAY YOU WERE ROBBED. THE ONLY PEOPLE BEING ROBBED ARE YOUR 9 EX GIRLFRIENDS AND 11 KIDS.
