EVANDER HOLYFIELD: I think the layoff has helped me. It gave me a chance to realistically go back and look at my past fights and that would let me know if I am willing to pay the price that is necessary. People have to make that decision for themselves if it helped me after this fight.
The adjustment is that I changed trainers, which is a great thing. A lot had to do with it. I have a trainer that knows me. He worked with me back in the George Benton days. He realizes what I can do and he believes in me. It’s amazing when you get in the ring’ A lot has to do with what someone expects of you. If someone feels that you are old and don’t feel that you can do it - then they don’t push or have the patience for you to do it. We have to do it at courtside working together. With Ronnie Shields and with my work ethic, I believe that we have the team. [details]
