Ah, thanks, I couldn't remember, I just remember Williams talking about Wlad holding, that the ref should have taken away a point, and all that BS... lol
Isn't his name William-SON??? ;)

Paddio, The man wasn't scared, he was just fighting at a slower pace, as Emmanuel was instructing him to do. When Williams caught him with that right, and he went down(technically), he came back in that round, and IMO, it should have been even, or 10-9 for Williams, as he did nothing in that round except land that right on a lunging Wlad. I don't see how some of you guys could miss the fact that Williams ran for most of the fight. If it was Toney, and I can't stand that bastard, I would at least give him credit for winning a hard to score fight, if it was one, Wlad's wasn't even close, alot of guys are saying 'I told you so" just because Williams didn't end up in a coma, and I don't think that's fair.
All three judges scored the 4th round 10-9.
Evander is for certain one of my favorite fighters, and will be from now on, regardless of his ranking. That being said, I hope this fight never happens, as even though Wlad isn't much taller than Bowe, he still fights much bigger than Bowe, and it would be a much different fight than with Bowe, and at this stage of Evander's career, it would spell disaster for the real deal.

Wlad by tko. Holyfield is just too old
I really don't like saying the two names in the same sentence.
i know. it is horrible. heavyweights should just phase Evander out, for his own good. but most are too greedy to pass on a chance to feed on a washed up legend.
I am picking Holyfield even though he is old, because I believe that he could go a good 7 rounds. Wlad always seems tired right away.
Holyfield can go a good 7 rounds, but how many of those rounds are going to be good with the best jab in the heavyweight division in his face? he will get eaten alive at this point against Wlad. Plain and simple
Did I miss something?
I had to make sure the dates of all of these posts were in 2004 and not back in 2000 or so when Vlad was a monster. Obviously, you guys didn't see him fight Williams. He was scared to death. Anytime Williams looked liked he was gonna throw a punch he would run. If not for that cut, he was going to get knocked out yet again. Holyfield is old, true enough, but no way could he last 3 or 4 good rounds with Holyfield. After the 5 or 6th round, it is anyone's game because stamina will plagued them both. I hear everyone yelling "IF" he gets his confidence back. It doesn't seem like it is gonna happen. If he can't make light work of lower tier fighters like Williams who is known for having a glass chin, who else is there to fight to give him some confidence.undefined
Holy said on his site that he now does very limited roadwork, and works mostly on his hand speed in his training, and relies on diet and supplements to keep his weight where he wants it. If he ran like he did before, he might shed some of that weight he thinks is helping him, but that might explain some of the stamina issues he's had in recent years.
I knew something was up with his stamina!!! This explains a lot to me.

hopefully, Holy's corner will throw in the towel. He's the kind of
fighter they have to look out for... Toney may not have Wlad's power but
he lands a lot more punches. You don't have to be a big puncher if u
can feed the other guy a lot of leather!
If Wlad doesn't regain his confidence, Holyfield still has so much heart
that i can see him hanging around, even if Wlad knocks him down several times. i'll be willing to bet he watched Wlad against Brewster, and thought, " I got more heart and talent than Brewster,". Holy took a hell of a beating from James Toney and refused to go down, Holyfield still has a champion's heart if nothing else
Toney doesn't have anywhere near the power Wlad has, and like I've said before, Holyfield's corner would never let Wlad KD Holyfield several times without throwing in the towel.

What kind of punishment does it take to beat Wlad? Evander isnt Lamon Brewster!!! He will hit Wlad before the 4th rd. I think Evander would beat Wlads ass rather easily to be honest. I would like to see this fight. This would be perfect to get Evanders career going again.
evander has only won 2 out of his last 8 fights.... brewster took a major ass whippin in his fight with wlad... i dont see evander with his shot skills and stamina winning.... sanders is the only guy to blow out wlad and holy is nothing like sanders...
