    I "invested" an hour of my life to watch this crap. It was a very typical Valouev fight with Bergeron walking backwards, Valouev plodding forwards and very few punches landed overall. The only actually exciting moment came in the second round as the southpaw Bergeron buckled Valouev's knees with a left cross on Valouev's chin. He landed straight lefts every once in a while but apart from that one shot they had no effect on Valouev. Valouev on his part pawed with his left and landed some rights on Bergeron's cheeck and temple. In the last round Valouev tried to put up a show and actually threw many shots, winning the round easile. The scores in Valouev's favor were 118-111, 117-111 and 118-111. Valouev is still difficult to beat for anybody not named Wladimir Klitschko, but the fight was pathetic

    It was horrible, and I mostly blame Bergeron who did just enough to " look good" in losing and then, Im sure, whine he was robbed while not taking any risks the whole fight. Of course, Valuev didnt do much better and it was pretty much an even fight untill Valuev sweep the last 3 rounds.

    Exactly. Just that type of a performance by Bergeron, who tried to avoid all contact
