Holyfield 84 Olympic controversy

[Fox McCloud]

I know nothing about it, so someone educate me on the issue PLZ.

Okay, so... someone should just tell me what happened.

They f00ked him over. Kind of. Holy was in the process of throwing a punch when the ref said "SCHTOP!!!" for the 100th time. Hit the lad on the face, went down and Holy was DQ'd.

Man, that is fairly lame. I did find it weird that Holyfield had the second worst showing on the team that year, considering what a good fighter he is. I just recently found out his loss was a DQ.

Anyway, thanks for catching me up.

amazing how young he looks.

Also it appeared the ref said stop after he hit him.

[Fox McCloud]

Thanks.

I have a lot of respect for Kevin Barry and the way he acted after Holyfield was DQ'd.

Haven't seen the whole fight in a while but I believe it was a rough contest with both boxers doing some fouling and the referee rather questionably decided to disqualify Holyfield as can be seen in the above video.

Barry lifting Holyfield's arm up, Evander not freaking out after being dq'd. Both class acts in an unfortunate outcome.
