jens pulver is punchy also... hey Pat, what was that quote u said about pulver, how it takes a lot of determination to become a professional boxer?

He doesnt sound too bad. He did look punchy though the way he was looking away from the camera. Holyfield sounds so much better than I thought he would.

It's so Ironic...

That 16 years ago, the young gun that was EVANDER HOLYFIELD stepped into the ring with a 40+ year old GEORGE FOREMAN.

Later this year, The young gun that is Ibragimov/Chagaev (eh, 30's is young for a heavyweight nowadays lol)will step into the ring with a 40+ year old EVANDER HOLYFIELD.

If you told me this was gonna happen back in the FOREMAN days, i woulda called you nuts lol

i know, his speech has actually UN-slurred if thats possible.

And savarse or w/e looked like Gatti after the Baldy fight.

BUt he his a hella of a tough guy. Nobody gets up for that 2nd knockdown, i dont know how he did. he was sprawled out...

His best shot was against Briggs. After seeing tonights performance, he might be able to pull an upset against the Chagaev/Ibrogamov winner.

Holyfield Looks "Real" in Battering Savarese

By Sammy Rozenberg

El Paso, Texas - The "Road To The Heavyweight Championship," as the event was delicately called, proved to be a showcase for Evander "Real Deal" Holyfield (42-8-2, 27KOs), who won a solid ten-round unanimous decision over the 41-year-old Lou Savarese (46-6, 38KOs) at the Don Haskins Center.

The fight began with a dark cloud for Savarese, as a left hand from Holyfield opened up a cut on his forehead. In the second, Savarese, who gave up the first with a lethargic start, began to trade with Evander. The third, was a street fight that saw both fighters let their hands go, but the toe to toe battle would cost Savarese in the following round.

A solid right hand that was followed by the left hook put Savarese in serious trouble in the fourth. Moments later, a combination of punches would send Savarese down on both knees. To his credit, he was able to beat the count and defuse a possible knockout loss by using his defensive skills to survive the round.

Neither man did much of anything in the fifth. The sixth was another good round for Savarese, who began to land uppercuts down the middle and short right hands. Holyfield would answer back with bodyshots and a jab that found it's mark, often. A tussle in the seventh had Holyfield stealing the round with a six punch exchange in the final ten seconds.
