I don't think I am exaggerating in the slightest, and I take it upon myself to speak for all humanity, to say that this is the greatest work of art ever created. You did justice to a legendary fight, fought by legendary fighters, those 2 were made for each other and I can't think of a better trilogy. You have hit a new high with this one, I can't get enough of this pugilistic p0rnography.
Great stuff Only complaint i have is that you didn't put those few jabs thrown by bowe at the beginning of the round 10...great stiff jabs that knocked holyfield's head back
Thats one of the fights you watch if you want to see pure ATG boxing skill at HW. Supreme boxers both of them and that win by Bowe still hasn't been bettered.
Looks more like a poor man's Primo Carnera to me... Just kidding. Amazing fight between two highly skilled, physically gifted heavies.
Well said yourself. Your eloquence did justice to a terrific post. To say you spoke for all humanity may have been a teeny weeny exaggeration, if I am being picky, but you took the words right out of my ... erm, keyboard.
damn.. reading the comments, that really turned on even some non-boxing fans. holyfield (30 yrs old fighting the 24/25 yr old young buck riddick bowe) has been too underrated for too long. left-hook from hell.
That's the goal every time I write. I want people to see what I see as a person who has studied the Martial arts. To appreciate the the beauty and expression of a fight between two high level fighters. To appreciate the skill and dedication of these guys, or at the very least to expose people to the techniques that made them so good. To do away with the stereotype that fighting is just two mindless idiots bashing each other untill one gets a concussion.
I've been at this for a total of 8 months. I'm only 28. I'm only getting better and one day I will, somehow, make my living at this. All your appreciation is, well, appreciated. But I'm hoping for something more out of this than just posting in forums and on social media websites. Thank you for all the love my pieces get, I personally think they deserve it. Some of them like this article and the Ali pieces, I struggle to believe I created them. They're that good. This will be my job one day.
