UK Evander fans- Holyfield was sensational saturday night

[brown bomber]

That was a world class performance the other night, Holys timing and heart were right back and he worked the body well and bounced through 10 rounds..... how incredible can one man be.

[Tony Harrison]

Who was he fighting again?

Who was he fighting again?

The guy that lost in a round to a shot mike tyson

[brown bomber]

The guy that lost in a round to a shot mike tyson A guy caught cold by arguably the hardest hitter in the history of the heavyweight division with a proven record for durability. I was referring to Holys timing, stamina and speed which were all impressive. Did you watch it?

I didnt to be fair - i was just having a joke. Im glad to hear he looked good - think hel get a shot at a title next or does he need another fight first?

[brown bomber]

I'd like him to get a shot now or mybe fight McCall.

[NOrth]

I still think he's shot to pieces, although admitedly Ive not seen this contest. Is it up on youtube?

My fear is he ends up seriously hurt.

My fear is he ends up seriously hurt. Watch his fight on sat and you'll change your mind... he deserves a crack based on this.

[NOrth]

Interesting, I'll sceptically do so.

[Charles187]

The McCall Fight should def be made

Not seen the fight yet but to be honest i dont think beating Saverese warrants a shot at a title but hey, fighters have got title shots recently for far less.

If he can look good against a decent top 10 guy then fair play to him but im still not convinced he has enough left in the tank at this time to fulfill his dream.

[brown bomber]

No one in the heavyweight division is doing anything Holy might be the best heavy in the world again.

Do you honestly think he's better than Wlad at this point in time?

[NOrth]

I'd strongly pick Peter, Klitchko, Valuev & Chagaev over him.

[achillesthegreat]

Holy has done very well and is a top 20 contender again. Oquendo, Maddalone, Savarese and Bates are good wins...

...BUT...

...they are carefully chosen opponents and rightly so.

Ultimately Holy CANNOT unify. This Holy will not beat Wlad.

I'd love for Holy to win a title. It would make me smile. We all know he is past it but so was Foreman. It would be great to see him one left hook away from that title. I'd love Chagaev v Ibrag winner to fight him as an easy first defence and then get a shock as they get too ballsy on the old man.

Yeah, that would be a night to remember. My eras Foreman. I'd love it.

The shots that floored Saverese 3 times would have done exactly the same to Vlad they were beautiful shots picked immaculately and I think even at this stage he may be too versatile for Sam Peter. The Toney loss was a bad one as was loss to Larry Donald but who's to say it wasn't the result of a temporary dip in form.

But would Wlad let him land those shots and would he get past Wlads jab now?

[NOrth]

No, I dont think he would. Neither do I see him as too versitile for Peter, especially as Peter beat the man who comprehensivley beat the man.

Dont get me wrong, for all huis nutty attributes I still love old Evander, but he's an accident waiting to happen, and in boxing there are plenty of people who will exploit that accident to make a quick wedge.

Holyfield had been struggling with a serious shoulder injury. That would explain his lack of combinations. He looked a different fighter against Savarese than the one that was beaten by Toney. He would beat Toney if they met in a rematch now.

[Irish_Southpaw6]

It is cool his career has lasted this long and I wish the best for him in his goal to unify the titles though it won't happen if/when he fights Wlad and remember Vitaly is coming back and could be another champ for Evander to get through.

[SevenSamurai]

I will give the fight a watch. But I think that Holyfield is one bad match away from being seriously hurt, he has taken alot of damage and I still see pictures of the toney fight when I think of him.

He should stay well away from Wlad, that would be a slow and painful beating.

[Words]

I'm sorry but Holyfield could get killed by Wlad. literally. That fight should not be allowed to happen.
