Holyfield Loses Narrow Decision, Survives

A Russian giant gets an early Christmas present in Switzerland.

"Merry Christmas, Nikolai Valuev. The judges in Switzerland have a gift for you. Valuev retained his WBA title on scores of 116-112, 115-114, and 114-114, giving him a majority decision win over 46-year old Evander Holyfield in an atrocious fight that joins the running for Worst Fight of 2008."
