    "I just have to get back in line"
    By Donna Ritchie

    "The fight went to a decision and Ibragimov won the decision and I just have to get back in line and it doesn't mean that it's over," Evander Holyfield told reporters via telephone from Moscow following his loss to WBO heavyweight champion Sultan Ibragimov. The former four-time champion said he will assess his performance after he actually sees the fight and he'll take into consideration about what people say about his performance in the ring. He asked, "Did I do so bad that it's not worth it for me to try." Evander said he was surprised Ibragimov moved as much as he did and which forced him to change his game plan. "I didn't throw enough combinations as my corner wanted me to but he [Ibragimov] was quick in the sense that I didn't feel comfortable in throwing the combinations." As for a body shot in the tenth round that appeared to cause some discomfort, Evander admitted, "It was a clean shot, it was a clean shot but it didn't hurt me. It made me draw up but not to a point...it was a very good shot."

      At this rate it looks like Holyfield will want to fight when he is 50 years old still hoping to become a champion. It is so sad that he doesn't know when it is time to hang up the gloves.

        He's trying to pull a George Foreman. Only one problem, he'll never be a George Foreman.

              The only reason Foreman was successful at his age was because of his KO power, it kept him in every fight. Holyfield does not have KO power.

                    This guy has fighting in his freaking saliva, blood, in his tissues and muscles. I guess he should hang them up though. I wanted to see history be made but ah well...
