Comments Thread For: Belfort Reacts To Critics, Defends Stoppage Win Over Evander Holyfield

That whole thing was disgusting. Holyfield shouldn't have been cleared to fight, showing obvious signs of CTE, Belfort was celebrating like he just beat Canelo, and to top it all off he goes on to call out Jake Paul...

What a joke. When Holyfield climbed through the ropes you could see clearly his balance was ****ed.

That was my impression too. While he was getting into the ring and in the minutes before the fight started I kept saying to myself, “Wow, Holyfield is moving like an old man. Am I just imagining what I I think I’m seeing.” But when the fight got rolling it was clear that he was slow as molasses and his balance was terrible. That’s when my initial assessment was confirmed.

Vitor beat the most powerful HW in HISTORY. Anyone diminishing this incredible athletic feat is a HATER. He said himself, that’s something even mike Tyson couldn’t do in 2 tries! His combos were freaking so precise. If canelo wants to come back up to cruiserweight Vitor will be waiting but we all know he’d never fight the phenom.

You know it's bad when you have to defend a win

“I beat the most powerful heavyweight in history, who beat Mike Tyson.”. So basically this is how it works, Belfort beat Holyfield, who beat Tyson, who beat Holmes who beat Ali. Therefore Belfort > Ali. No debate.

USADA destroyed all Brazilians champions, they are **** without steroids RIP Silva, Barao,JDS,Werdum,Vitor,Cyborg now only Nunes left lol https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.low...cheated/%3famp

I dont think its necessarily entirely down to USADA, imo its also partly because the talent pool has grown and gotten a lot more international. There are way less American champs than there used to be too.

There was no reason why, Belfort and Holyfield could not just hard spar 'Have a move about and close out the show'.

In my opinion Belfort took a completely opportunistic liberty 'His behavior was quite low as a fighter'.

How do you know Holyfield would have been down for a glorified sparring match? he probably had no idea who Belfort was and thought he was gonna beat his ass. Plenty of people had Holyfield as the favourite going in too.

Somebody in all honesty needs to tell David Haye to fight Victor Belfort 'Let them both have a real fight'.

I agree he took an absolute liberty , as an experienced sportsman he should and probably did work out straightaway holys speed , timing and footwork were that of an old shot fighter and he chose to cowardly take advantage, pathetic and disgraceful of him and triller to take Advantage and to what end ? Reputation of both has declined and they are lucky there were not a serious outcome here

He was boxing well? He threw one punch and knocked himself over. Nash out.
