almost 100 betweent them

I guess both guys have the right to chase their dreams but I find this fight sad.

This fight today made major headlines in Denmark and both made it to primetime time slots in the news programmes. Nielsen is still insanely popular and Holyfield is ofcourse a marquee name opponent.

But Evander is pushing fifty and Nielsen hasn't fought in 8 years and can barely walk let alone run due to a blown out knee that is recovering from surgery.

Neilsen hasn't had a pro fight in seven years!! What is he doing in the senior circuit?

No. If anything Nielsen can take a punch. I doubt Holyfield can knock him out.

Nielsen would never ever quit in this fight. I'm sure he'd fight untill he dropped.

Part of what makes this fight a bad showcase for boxing....
