FIGHT OF THE WEEK: Valuev vs. Holyfield

December 17th, 2008, 9:04 pm · Post a Comment · posted by CARLOS ARIAS

Nikolai Valuev vs. Evander Holyfield

When: Saturday, noon

Where: Hallenstadion, Zurich, Switzerland

TV: Pay-per-view

Outlook: Valuev (49-1, 34 KOs) puts his WBA heavyweight title on the line against Holyfield (42-9-2, 27 KOs), a former four-time heavyweight champion.

Prediction: Holyfield, 46, is well past his prime at this point in his career and hasn't fought since dropping a decision to then WBO champion Sultan Ibragimov 14 months ago. Valuev, 35, a 7-0, 320-pounder, will use his 10-inch height and 7-inch reach advantages to pound out a decision over Holyfield.

Record in 2008 picks: 38-12
