It's going to be a boring fight, Botha at his best relied a lot of his right hand and it's even more apparent now, everything he does now is centered around landing his looping right hand and he doesn't do it behind a high workrate or anything. Holyfield throws like 40 punches a round nowadays trying to conserve energy.
10 years ago, this would have been a PPV fight. Both fighters way past their primes but Holy still has some sting for a very old man in boxing. Botha was the gatekeeper in HW some 10yrs back but l havent heard of him for about 3yrs now so l'll go for Holy. I dont even know why Holy's camp took this fight. Nothing much to gain from this fight
I'd still like to see him fight!
I guarantee that if he and Tyson were to do a oldies but goodies fight, it would be huge and everybody would still watch it even tho they say they wouldn't! Plus, they both would rake in the money one last time! :boxing:
I never feel right by saying a fighter should retire. Everybody deserves to make a living. But, I don't watch any Holyfield fights anymore. I like to remember his as the warrior. And, is just to see him fighting when he clearly doesn't have it anymore.
