He took ring center where he never budged save late in the fight where he herded helpless Field into a corner now pumping elbows in several dozen body shots that were pulled before walking back to ring center.
No matter, lower order anthropoids ain’t ever gonna understand career timelines resulting in Field gettin his license suspended instead of retiring.

I just don't believe any fighter really would lose a fight deliberately out of concern for his opponent.Last edited by billeau2; 09-02-2024, 01:51 PM.

I have no doubt that Niko is intelligent. He seemed very well spoken in any interviews. I also would not question his integrity.

On a tangent, Holyfield and Jones share the distinction of being two of the worst examples of great champions dragging their name through the slurry pit and back again by fighting on long after their abilities had evaporated. Long, long after. Both men appear basically OK as of now, Holyfield at 61 and Jones at 55, and for that they are both very fortunate. Going forward into old age, it's anyone's guess how they'll hold up; bless em'.
I think that a 4/5 ready Douglas gets to push and bump Jones off his game.

Fact is Field disappeared from the ratings in 2001 because he had his license suspended because he was running on fumes.
Roy Jones never had his license suspended in these years as one example of another fighter hanging on past his best, and moreover Roy ain't punch drunk and is worth millions and not the sad shadow of Vander forced into bankruptcy career with peanut purses unable to pay his various child support and divorce payments that saw him lose his mansion.
Post script:
On September 3, 2021, it was reported that Oscar De La Hoya, who had been slated to headline a Triller PPV show against Vitor Belfort on September 11, had been hospitalized with COVID-19, and that Holyfield would be stepping in for De La Hoya.[48] The event was originally scheduled to take place in California, however, the California State Athletic Commission refused to sanction a bout with Holyfield in any capacity–exhibition or professional. The bout was subsequently moved to Florida after the Florida State Athletic Commission agreed to sanction the bout as an exhibition. Holyfield lost via first-round technical knockout.
Only guy in worse shape is Big Dummy...
