WBA probe Valuev verdict
Russian's triumph over heavyweight veteran Holyfield under review
The Russian champion won a majority points decision against the 46-year-old American in Switzerland on December 20.
The Zurich crowd booed the result, which saw one judge score the contest a 114-114 draw and the two others awarding the fight to 7ft 2in Valuev 116-112 and 115-114.
Hoyfield was predictably perplexed by the verdicts and the WBA has revealed it is looking into the bout.
"As the World Boxing Association always cares about and respects the fans' and the media's opinion, the Championship Committee has ordered a panel of judges to review the tape of the fight between Nikolai Valuev and Evander Holyfield, for the WBA Heavyweight title, held last December 20 in Switzerland and will make a decision accordingly in the following weeks," a WBA statement read.
Nothing will come of it obviously but interesting enough that there is actually a review.

From what I've seen neither did enough to win though Holyfield was the busier fighter. Boxing's always had contentious decisions but there's no way the decision on the night can be overturned - it's different watching a fight on TV to sitting at ringside and a terrible precedent would be set. Apparently Sauerland was prepared to give Holyfield a rematch but has now withdrawn the offer as Don Turner made allegations of bribery in a newspaper in Georgia.
