I looked at Holyfield-Botha and yes, Holyfield was still surprisingly spry, but there is no doubt that which one will win
Great fight If Holyfield wins then I say its ok to let him soldier on in the pro ranks if Helenius win and bad it doesnt prove much but that its time for Evander to wrap it up as much as Evander has paid his dues he needs to get beat and beat badly to realize its time to hang em up or for the commission to pull the plug this is a good fight after Helenius needs to face relative foes
I just can't imagine Holyfield risking a lose and ultimately his finale title shot vs someone seen as dangerous as Helenius. About the only thing that makes sense about this, is the date and card it would be under. Seeing as Helenius needs an opponent and Holyfield was hoping to fight on this date vs Povetkin. Would Holyfield even accept this fight with just about 1 month to prepare and to get affiliated with Helenius's style? And would the money offered be enough to make it worth his while?
It is the position of your body, it's your stance, the way you present yourself when you unleash the combination and the way your body rests afterwards. It's the footwork, it's the position of your head when you punch, it's timing... Helenius is a kid! It's not the fact that Holyfield is some Floyd Mayweather or RJJ, it's the fact that Helenius belongs to another set and a basically focused Holyfield even at this stage wins.
Pretty sure they would rob Holy though they have options on him. They have Cunningham on contract and still robbed him in the Internal Sauerland fight with Hernandez :deal Also, it is also possible that Holyfield fights in Brazil next. My guess is that it will be against the WBO Latino and WBF Intercontinel champ, Raphael Zumbano Love :deal
Oh no!! Holyfield will be KO'd into retirement instead of UD'd by Povetkin, Hope this doesn't happen. :-(
Terrible fight, helenius is a good finisher and a big strong guy, he would really hurt holyfield. Holy needs to retire or fight bums in exhibitions, nothing else.
Yep, it would be a very sad ending to Holyfields career (and possibly to the parts in his brain still functioning). Slaughtering a 48-year old legend would do no favours for Helenius either.
God. If Holy wants to get an awful beating, Vitaly ought to oblige him so he can get one more mega-payday.
