How did Brian Nielsen beat Larry Holmes?

[Carlsson]

I'm not sure if it was intentional on Nielsen's part, but atleast one opponent of his came out and admitted that he had thrown the fight against him.

Im almost certain his name was Don Steele.

Of course Mogens Palle had made him up to be a serious challenge to Nielsen(Most decent HW could be a challenge/beat Nielsen i know) so me and my grandfather was glued to the screen in excitement(i was just a kid back then..) and the guy was just the embodiment of a tomato can lol.

If i remenber correctly, three specific Nielsen fights have been under serious suspecion with some evidence to back it up.

However i do think the match GreatA is reffering to is Nielsens match vs a guy named Thomas Williams.

Williams later admittet(and was convicted i think) that he was paid by Palle to throw the fight

Don Steele was hilarious. He went something like 41-0 with all of his wins by KO, but every time I saw him he could hardly even box. His KO loss to Ray Mercer is one of the most brutal I've seen.

Excuse me I confused Mercer's KO of Jeff Pegues with the Don Steele KO.

You heard of him?? really?? lol

I must have been around 10 or something back then, and like i said the fight was hyped a lot, especially because of his record, and i just remember thinking: "Man, Brian is a monster, nobody can beat him"

now just look what Mogens Palle did to the young people in Denmark back then lol

Larry got beat fair and square. But a prime Larry would win by k.o in the first three rounds. Brian Nielsen was no more then a contender. And man, am I glad that he didn't beat Rocky Marcianos record for most undefeated fights (is it 47 in the HW division?).

This wasn't the only Nielsen fight that looked "strange":

Jeremy Williams also claimed to have been paid off.
