    Highly recommended. The best doc you will see on Holmes. Should have been on ESPN at least.

    Very good. I agree it should be ESPN, or HBO. One very minor revision. Holmes stopped Ali in 10, not 11 rounds as stated.

    Well done. Nice to see Steve Farhood's comments. Sharpton offering his usual stuff about white unfairness made my eyes roll though.

    However, didn't Ali complete round 10, thus making it TKO 11?

    For whatever reason Holmes had concentration lapses and could be nailed by right hands from time to time. I don't think Wlad ( who has never taken the count ) survives the round.

    But Wlad has excellent concentration and can take away the other guys best punch. He might not get caught with it either, and has the power to stop Shavers before he gets his punchers chance.
