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.

@kyleprather7228 Жыл бұрын

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.

@joeblough261 Жыл бұрын

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.

I have a very similar scorecard! Only I had Bowe in round 7 for a final score of 115-113 Holyfield. 1, 2, 9, and 12 were clearly Bowe rounds 5, 6, 8, 10, 11 were clearly Holyfield rounds. 3 and 4 I saw Holyfield the superior boxer and that left only 7 for Bowe.

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!
