10 Years Ago

[American_Ninja]

Ten years ago - on November 9th, 1996 - Evander Holyfield stopped Mike Tyson in 11 rounds to win the WBA heavyweight title. Time has flew by
since then. Who would think Holyfield would still be fighting today.
What I saw tonight in Holyfield, paled in comparison to what I saw when Tyson did the exhibition bout. Tyson has much more left IMO. he still has fast hands, power, and head movement. he didn't look like his feet were in concrete the way Holyfield did. The announcers said that they thought Holy had hurt his right hand in the 1st round. But the truth of it was, he couldn't pull the trigger. His reflexes have slowed badly. Like Ali, Holyfield will keep fighting. He won't ever again be the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion. But his heart will keep going. If only Tyson had heart like that.

I havent seen the Holyfield fight, but Tyson looked spent after a few rounds of glorified sparring.
His techinque is still good, but he's very finished. As is Holyfield.
Heart is one thing, but being smart is somthing much more important at their age.
They got kids and money (wel, Holyfield has), and should quit instead of ******** with their health. It aint smart that Holyfield is still fighting.

Time has flown. I rember that fight like it was yesterday.

Tysons lost the passion for the game

I think Tyson is doing the smart thing.
Exhibitions arent really dangerous.
