Holyfield has made hundreds of millions over the years but spends like a drunken sailor, not to mention having to support all those illegitimate kids. The upkeep on his 100+ room mansion in Georgia alone is insane.
That being said Holyfield 100% won this fight, 116-112 is what I scored it at (I almost never score fights but I was bored tonight). He danced around and threw weak shots at Valuev, but Valuev did even less than that. I will always love boxing, but every time I try to get excited about it again a fucking abortion of a decision like this happens. The sad thing is it happens with alarming frequency in MMA as well.
I'd love to get rid of the old judges scoring at ringside bullshit and go with the guys in the Compubox truck doing the scoring, or maybe some combination of the two. One day there is going to be a mega fight in MMA that ends on a bullshit scoring that is going to end up majorly stunting it's growth...
