Holmes actually fought pretty well in that fight, given his age. He was crafty off the ropes and landed some good shots.Comment

According to Holmes he also fought with a detached retina and had to wear contacts into the ring, Holyfield hit him and knocked the contacts out in the first round so he couldn't see clearly and couldn't judge the distance properly, he said that's the reason he stood on the ropes for the majority of the fight.Comment

I thought I was the only one who had read Carlo Rotella's book. That book gave me a strong appreciation for Larry Holmes' professionalism. He had a lot of dedication for a financially secure man in his mid-40's.
Barfing in sparring is very normal in boxing gyms. Heck, I just saw Sechew Powell do it yesterday twice while sparring. When the temperature is up and you ate too soon before sparring it can happen.
Most people who throw up in sparring can wipe their faces and get ready to fight in moments. I've seen some people improve after throwing up.Comment
