Three judges in Switzerland denied four time heavyweight champion Evander "The Real Deal" Holyfield his hard earned opportunity to become the first five time heavyweight champion and the oldest heavyweight champion in the history of boxing. Boxingtalk's Ray Campbell scored the fight 117-111 Holyfield. American commentator Al Bernstain scored the bout 118-110 in favor of Holyfield. Valuev, who didn't appear to be himself throughout the fight, escapes with the controversial victory and will likely unify the titles with a Klitschko brother later this year.
