I hope Holyfield loses. I don't care ATM if he wins he brings the title back to the USA. I simply don't like Holyfield. I hope he gets beat from ring post to ring post.

 

[SugarShane]

I hope he gets a knockout early.

sultans an animal in the ring, evander is gonna take a major beatdown in this fight, his heart for a fight may even see him get seriously hurt!

 

[SugarShane]

Holyfield will whip his ass.

 

[bill1234]

evander is gonna take a major beatdown in this fight,

I hope so.

 

[SugarShane]

Me too. I want a real champ.

How could anybody not love Holyfield. Guy has more heart than most any fighter I've ever seen. What I hate is that he's still fighting, and it's just sad now. He's gonna have problems down the road for sure.

Well, for one, he's an extremely dirty fighter. He's worse than Tyson is at times. His head is a 3rd arm for him. Also, Ive seen about 3-5 guys with just as much, or more heart than him. I will give him this though, if you pay to see him fight, then 95% of the time you will get your money's worth out of him.

 

[SugarShane]

Holyfield is the man.

Holyfield is dirtier then tyson? No Comment...:cheeky4:

HOLYFIELD IS THE MAN!

If he can still be alive after the bowe fights then he gets an A+ in my book.

 

[Captainobvious]

Ticket prices ranging from $10 to $3000 ???
Where the hell are the $10 seats at, Bosnia?

 

[Captainobvious]

Honestly though, did anyone ACTUALLY believe that this would be a non-PPV fight ?
Gimme a break.

 

[SugarShane]

No, but ESPN was putting up big numbers in efforts to snatch this fight. They have tried to land the rights to Holyfield's upcoming fights like lunatics. They even showed the replay of the Holyfield vs Savarese fight three days later on Classic. I think that ESPN believes in Holyfield's "resurrection," and they want on the gravy train. Also, Holyfield represents a possible re-emergenge of the heavyweight division if he is indeed able to unify the titles. It would certainly generate more mass popularity if that quest was shown on basic cable like ESPN rather than through PPV. Just a thought.

Holyfield is dirtier then tyson? No Comment...:cheeky4:

At times, yes. The way he uses his head more than his fists. He's gotten 2-3 stoppages because he butted someone and they got cut, so he just opened it up more with punches.

I hope Holyfield gets beaten badly, cause thats the only way hes going to retire.
