    Valuev-Holyfield. I just didn't want Holyfield to go down in history as a 5-time HW champ by beating Valuev of all people.

    I'm not sure I'd say I was happy Sturm got robbed against De La Hoya, but I still wanted to see Hopkins-DLH even though I knew DLH had no chance.

    Good examples.

    It's nice to see people actually try to give examples instead of hiding behind a wall of self righteousness

    Valuev-Holyfield is an excellent example, probably saved Evander a few brain cells.

    I would agree, but I don't think it was a robbery. Classic case where Evander won the first rounds clearly and since there was no dramatic turn, the commentators kept giving him rounds for nothing

    Your insight serves you well. Bury your feelings deep down, Luke. They do you credit, but they could be made to serve the Emperor.
