Keys to Victory for Evander Holyfield tonight

[Derranged_]

First, I'm surprised to see so little threads about the Holyfield-Oquendo fight tonight.

OK, the question is what kind of 'game-plan' does Evander need to defeat Oquendo? Also, what can he do to look good in his victory without taking too much punishment?

My keys to victory for Evander are as follows: (1) Evander needs to get warmed up, get on the offensive early on, and establish a good pace. (2) Work the jab, mix up some combos, and attack the body. (3) Go for the early KO if possible.

Post your gameplan/strategy for Evander( or for Oquendo if you're a fan).

he needs to just go home

C'mon, I want to hear strategy and fightplans not "he should retire" posts. Whether you agree with his decision to fight on or not, the fact is Evander will be in against a very capable opponent tonight and I would like to hear some boxing analysis how how he can win this fight.

I have the prefect stratagey for the OLD Warrior

He will never win this fight IMO..........He has'nt thrown combos or gone to the body on an opponent that did not just stand there like his last one in many years..........He wins if he decides not to show up.Fres is fast and slick and will easily outbox Holyfield tonight.........my prediction IF he does not end up getting a TKO late is Fres 99-91 assuming this is fairly judged and is a 10rd fight which I think it is.

Evander looked very sharp in his last fight albeit against a CCF(certified club fighter) throwing decent combinations and starting early. I think if Evander shows some of the same traits which he did if his last fight and can get off to a good start then there's no reason why he can't win this fight.

My prediction: I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Holyfield by late round KO.

How good is Evander’s stamina? Fres hasn’t got the best and usual fights like a tomato during the later rounds. We’ll be guaranteed dirty tactics by way of Holy holding and pulling Fres’ head down, couple of headbutts to boot to.

So in a nutshell, Holy will try and wear down Fres and go for a late KO. Will it work? Who knows.

im sorry but i honestly dont see him winning this fight. he was great in his prime but its too late for him now

He should start with trying to establish his jab, and feel out Oquendo through the 1st, then in the 2nd, he should just go all out and go for the KO.

i havn't seen Oquendo fight before so i have no idea how they match up
