Valuev by stoppage, to set up a fight with Toney.

Like Bernard Bresslaw against Charlie Drake

He also said hello to everyone in Dutch Land, so I everyone in Holland will be very happy!

Bit abstract this, but does anyone know what brand of cigars Don King smokes? I've always wondered this. Personally I like De Oliefant coronas from Holland.

Just guessing, but FYI can't see the Valuev fight starting before 2230-2245 GMT.

Muhammed Ali enters the Max Schmeling Halle on a golf cart to standing ovations from the audience.

Ali can even make Don King shut up.

First fight is Ali vs Sandell.

Lots of active and former german boxers at ringside.

is it true ali is bein roughed up a bit (leila not cassius obviously)

Freiheit · Post by **Freiheit** » 17 Dec 2005, 18:21

Im zapping between the two fights. Sandell looked ok in the first couple of rounds, german commentator had her winning the 2 first rounds, but seems to run out of gas.

Wales · Post by **Wales** » 17 Dec 2005, 18:23

ali ko 5??

valuev up next?

Freiheit · Post by **Freiheit** » 17 Dec 2005, 18:24

And then Sandell was stopped on her feet. Looked like and ok stoppage, but Sandell was competitive in the fight.

Dubunin winning his fight, norwegian TV didnt show rounds 4 & 5 of the fight.

Where do I send the check for these updates Freiheit? Priceless.... and appreciated.

Back in the old days I had to wait for the Pony Express to bring word in of a fight half way across the world like this. And that was after the info floated to the coast by ocean liner... And it was a long wait my friend.

Valuev about to enter the ring.

dandantheweatherman · Post by **dandantheweatherman** » 17 Dec 2005, 18:34

When I was a kid we didn't have teletext on tv at home and we didn't get a newspaper either. I used to rely on buying The Ring and KO when they came out for results. I was 2-3 months behind with results!!

Anyway, Valuev walking to the ring now....

Some lame live band playing ala Kostya v Sharmba

Freiheit · Post by **Freiheit** » 17 Dec 2005, 18:37

Its AHA who is playing the intro song for Valuev (that is important for the norwegian commentators)

Wales · Post by **Wales** » 17 Dec 2005, 18:37

or ottke vs... err.. i forget but he had right said fred playing live (mr fairbrass is well accustomed to ring entrances)

Here comes Ruiz to some latin hit

dandantheweatherman · Post by **dandantheweatherman** » 17 Dec 2005, 18:39

Aha!! Really?? I thought it was Micheal Ballack knocking out some awful wussrock. Sounded a bit like Stiltskin (one hit wonder in the UK circa 1994) if anyone needs help imagining the song.

Here comes Ruiz. I wonder how often they'll call him 'der stinker' on ARD. They loved that when Matthew Barney was up against Ulrich earlier this year.

"live" bands are used a lot in german boxing, gives huges exposiure for the band

Who was it who used to have that gapped tooth Norwegian guy (who won world idol) and used to sing "Beautiful day". Holdsworth used to geniunally think he was a U2 impersonator.
