There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

youtube says this "may contain adult imagery" or something like that. So by their definition, possibly not U rated.

Ah no. In fairness, it does contain images of adults.

I'm not registered or anything to You Tube - and it is asking me to confirm I am over 18 and register or login...

... by that definition it's not a U-rated link.

Yeah Valuev's considered something of a freakshow and it's generally held that if he fought any of the best heavyweights (Klitschkow aside that's something of an oxymoron these days) he'd lose. For all his bulk he's a pretty weak puncher and generally wears his opponents down with his bulk and clubbing punch's rather than clean shots.

Having said that he's got a pretty good jab on him and it'd be interesting to watch him fight one of the other title holders. I'd be happy to see him shut up that loudmouth Briggs after he got lucky in beating Lykovich in the last few seconds of R12 the other week KO Up until then all the HW title holder were from the old USSR.

Same here.

But before we go too far down the U rated vs Over 18 can i ask if boxing is classed as an adult sport and not to be watched by minors? I know they put boxing on at nights but i always thought that was to get bigger audiences as opposed to a "this is for over 18s only" attitude.
i could be very wrong tho, so anyone got a definative answer on this?

I know when i was a kid (about 7 or 8 ) i was allowed to stay up and watch the magnificent Muhammed Ali fight.

Well, taking the weakest representation of the sport - Rocky - it was originally released as an A (for Adult) film.

Later re-certified as a PG - so still not strictly a U-rating.

That said I don't recall boxing ever being shown before the watershed. No doubt some google-meister will be able to find out.
