Comments Thread For: Haye Shakes Head at Belfort: What's Impressive About Knocking Out a 58-Year-Old?

[Damn Wicked]

Holyfield wasn’t hurting was partially tripping over his feet and got stunned once with uppercut ,this is boxing but Belfort may have lost if Holyfield makes it out of the first round ,Belfort is a whirlwind the first minutes then he always slows . If Holyfield connects solid it’s probably lights out for Belfort ,I know Holyfield is better then that guy that Haye fought ,you don’t play with Holyfield because no doubt he was going for Belforts head what did Haye expect ?

Yeah, people weren’t paying for 2 guys to have a light sparring session. That would make these Triller events even more pathetic than the already are. The fight was stopped prematurely but due to Holyfield’s age the stoppage wasn’t a big surprise.

This whole veterans and you tuber nonsense leads to this kind of nonsense talk, The whole idea is completely ridiculous and only gives these old guys who are finished the opportunity to think they are not and the youtubers a big pay day and unpaid boxing glory . Only a clueless mug would pay for these 'bum' fights.

There's nothing impressive about KO'ing an almost 59-year-old guy...but Holyfield signed on for it and will get over 500K with his PPV portion, and he needed and wanted it. Belfort probably knew that there would be a Jake Paul offer of 30 million if he stopped him, so you can't really blame him. They both were there to make money, and Holyfield was protected from getting killed. The whole thing is kind of sick, but this is what boxing turned into in 2021...freak shows. 2021 was a terrible year for boxing, with maybe Fury vs Wilder lll & Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk hopefully being good shows.

There was nothing impressive about boxing a bum like Fournier.

Coming from a guy that had a sparring session with one of his mates on a ppv card

Holyfield was in worse trouble in career not sure should have been stopped. But there are better fighters like rj j who is 53.
holyfield more worn as his resume so good and the biggest and hardest hitters have punched holyfield. That's why Pac was so good, he faced the best over 8 divisions over 2 4 years and is still good and not slurring words yet.

I see Belfort having a few options available to him like Haye, DLH, Mike Tyson or Paul.

[Get em up]

There are NO cool points beating up the elderly but if Belfort accomplished anything in this it would be showing the difference between Tyson and Holyfield. Tyson wins the battle of the old guys IMO

I don't know why you are expecting MMA fighters to have a sense of honor. Their 'sport' consists of sitting on men's chests and punching them in the face where they can't even fight back. It's a sport based on the way homeless men fight in an alley over a pack of cigarettes.

Nearly 50? He's 44, hardly close to 50. Dosser, you're a peasant here, Holyfield is practically 60 and old enough to be Vitors father. You would havre to do some math though to understand what I'm saying and you clearly don't have that skill.

Why do you say Nash out all the time? That's the corniest shet I've ever seen. You like some Seacrest wannabe or something?

I have no idea who you are War Room. You have made no impression on Nash and will never be inducted into the Boxingscene Hall of Fame. Nash out.
