Comments Thread For: Evander Holyfield-Sherman Williams Early Results

[Money Shot]

If Williams had been bossed and quit like Holy would it have been declared an NC?

what disipointment have to say holyfield looked like he coudnt be arsed it was a bad cut but a feel he knew his body was letting him down the only punch that was working was his jab and thats because williams was a statue round 1 was close 2 was holyfields with jab 3 was williams rocking holyfield twice,holyfield went back to the corner and instantly went a cant see he couldnt be arsed to be honest pretty giutted cause he looked crap hang them up ma man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!al keep rooting for you but cmon give me break your killing me never thought at 29 i would still be watching and cheering you on,am gona have nervous breakdown at this rate,,,,,

ok, here i go...
holly looked pretty decent, pretty good considering his age in the first round..

in the second round he looked decent, started throwing combinations, although

not landing them as soundly as he would have liked...in the second there was

a terrible clash of heads with holy getting cut on his left eye lid.,,

in the third sherman,(who is named sherman anyways?) started landing some

heavy punches, a couple sneaky, flashy solid right hands, they didnt hurt holy

really, they did kinda stun him, the kind of shots you take and say uh -oh time to get out of the way before i get caught, they were buzzing good right hands though making holy

retreat...

i DO think that cut had something to do with him getting caught by them,,,,

HOWEVER, the fact that holy didnt want to continue tells me he should be

done...because to be the best at this game you should ALWAYS want to

continue and holy showed that when the going get tough he just didnt want

it............and there is no shame in that at 48 F----ING years old...

maybe he finally got the sign that his mind and body just told him, hey i dont

want this anymore, f-u-c-k this, this shhhit hurts im done.............

can someone just give him a commentating gig or something so he can still

make money?

all he has done for the sport he deserves something in return at this age

seeing as fighting is just too much on the body.

Holy slurs his speech to much now to be a comintator,but maybe he should become a conditioning coach,the dude really knows how to stay in shape.

Looking decent the first two rounds doesn't really mean anything when the fight is scheduled for 12. That cut didn't look all that bad to me either. It sounded like they (Holyfield's corner), were heavily pushing the fight to be a draw or NC after Evander was in big trouble in the 3rd. Holyfield was being outclassed by Williams' passive counter-punching style. He was cut, yes, but it to me it looked like he was quitting.

Holyfield is/was bankrupt so I guess he'll do anything for money now. How else could he justify fighting a guy like Brian Nielsen? Did you even know that the (2000) tickets to that fight are sold between $1000-1800? That is absolutely ridiculous.

Sherm Williams did better than Valuev.

That's something I guess.
