Masterful tactics by Holyfield. He didn't brawl too much in this fight like he did in the 1st fight with Bowe. Here he used his skills and speed, boxed more, was elusive, patient and disturbed Bowes rhythm almost the hole fight, and when Bowe didn't know what to do Holyfield let his hands go. I had this fight 116-113 for Holyfield.

Yep and that is one of the many reasons hes an all time great, he had the ability to morph into something else when he had to, he could come forward and bang and fight inside or he could bounce around and jab effectively with a guy 3-4 inches taller and much longer. Add that his will and his other worldly recuperative powrrs and hes a legend

@joeblough261

Жыл бұрын

@@kyleprather7228 As Real Deal always said, it's all about making adjustments. After that 1st fight, he realized he couldn't come in at a tiny 208lbs. It worked vs. Foreman but he was able to dance circles around George in a way he couldn't with the younger and more athletic Bowe who had such a good inside game as well. And, he didn't let Bowe's low blows and dirty tactics allow him to stray from the game plan. IMO, a fully-focused prime Holyfield who sticks to the right gameplan is as dangerous and formidable a fighter as any whoever lived. We saw it in the Douglas fight, both Tyson fights, this fight, and a handful of others where he simply wouldn't be denied, mentally, emotionally, or physically.

Watch it without basis commentary bowe is not fit but clearly wins this fight

Bowe is stronger, taller and more aggressive but he seemed ill-prepared. However Evander was exceptionally determined and in high readiness both mentally & physically for the fight. His effort was a success. I guess this is one of the most exciting fights in boxing history

Wow what a great fight. One of the greatest heavyweight showdowns in boxing history. I had Evander Holyfield winning this one 116-112. Here’s how I scored it: Round 1: 10/9 Bowe Round 2: 10/9 Bowe (20-18) Round 3: 9/10 Holyfield (29-28) Round 4: 9/10 Holyfield (38-38) Round 5: 9/10 Holyfield (47-48) Round 6: 9/10 Holyfield (56-58) Round 7: 9/10 Holyfield (65-68) Round 8: 9/10 Holyfield (74-78) Round 9: 10/9 Bowe (84-87) Round 10: 9/10 Holyfield (93-97) Round 11: 9:10 Holyfield (102-107) Round 12: 10/9 Bowe (112-116)

Evander flipped the script on him in the 4th. Straight dogged him the entire round, kept firing viscous combos, even ignoring bell. Bowe had the momentum but Holyfield ripped it away from him. Superhuman effort by the real deal.

They always say Tyson's apex was the Spinks fight. And while nothing can be taken away from Mike, Spinks was a blown-up light heavyweight, terrified, and on a knee brace. Even if he wasn't, he was NEVER going to beat Tyson, he couldn't hurt him and his twig neck would never be able to stand up to that. Here, Holyfield is facing a giant champion, and his performance is just a thing of absolute beauty b/c he was bigger than his early HW days of 205-208lbs, but he could still dance all night long. IMO this version of Real Deal would've wiped out any version of Tyson in 10 rounds or less. Book it Dano.

holyfield should of stuck with emanual steward that training got the best out of him in the krone holyfield was born to train in that place !

I remember how the HBO pay per view fights would always be shown the next Saturday on HBO but they wouldn't announce it ahead of times (like the TV guide and the HBO guide would have some movie listed at that time). I'm guessing so they wouldn't discourage people from buying the pay per view. Of course it didn't take long to figure out the pattern.

maybe the best heavyweight fight of all time

I always love how supremely confident Holyfield was (always) in this fight especially, and the 1st Tyson fight when he guaranteed victory. And when Jim Grey said, "That sounds like the most outrageous guarantee since Joe Namath" Holyfield, "Well, I did it in the Bowe 2 fight and I was victorious" Grey, "Little different situation tonight" Holy, "Well, the peoples are different, the situations are different...but God still the same. Yesterday and today, He still the same" LOL. Fucking awesome. And look at Holy's little dance and smug face during his ring introduction. Just classic!

That end of the 4th round is reminiscent of the 6th round of Tyson-Holyfield I. Holy had played it relatively cautious, let the big guy spend himself a little, and then show the other man that he is the damn boss, coming forward and raining bombs like Hiroshima.

I remember hearing about and seeing the Fan Man incident as a kid just after it happened. I still have never seen anything like that happening in a boxing match. Legendary fight.

These two men were two of the best heavyweights to ever step in the ring and although Bowe had a bit of issues out of the ring with his wife they were both good men inside and outside the ring.

I love that Foreman of all people criticizing Bowe on eating Pork Chops and Spare Ribs. What you been eating George? Cheeseburgers? Perhaps Bowe could have used George's grill back then.
