    Evander Holyfield-8

    Did just enough to edge it, both guys landed one meaningful punch this entire round, Evander just threw more overall. Larry just kicked back, talked a bit and seemed to be considering his options.

    Round 9- Holyfield. Just landed a bit more, he's doing all the work Larry is hanging back looking for the gimme shots, Holyfield is making them. I could see this as a draw though.

    10- I am giving it to Larry, he closed better and rallied well at the end, while landing better looking shots.

    11 is an easy Holmes round, landed much more, much more effectively and in style. This was literally just 3 minutes of Evander hoverning on the outskirts showing us what not to do against Larry, he kept jumping in and being countered, eventually instead of formulating a plan he tried to ask Holmes to come off the ropes :lol: Larry just kept waving him in as if to say "Get Good" it reminds me of when you find a really cheap move in a fighting game and your brother turns to you and just pleads with you to stop low kicking.

    Larry Holmes won... He won round 12 and won the fight, Evander flurried but that wiggle by Larry was well earned at 0.25 it was meaningless. I think one punch sort of touched down? Larry may have sore Arms but Evander would be worse for wear Holmes landed plenty. I don't like that Evander the younger "fitter" guy threw 36 punches in round 11... 36... Larry landed better. again undebatable. This was an easy Larry round for me, I saw Evander trying to close strong because he knew he was losing it here- he also seemed to be timid of any confrontation on the ropes all night lol.

    What do you think of the other Ancient Mariner who fought Holyfield at the same age?
    Who had a stylistic disadvantage, but how did you score that fight?

    2-3 rounds from memory. However it's been a long time.

    I presume you mean that is all *Foreman* earned.
    Yet you have Larry winning very comfortably-when I believe it will be very hard to find anyone else who agrees.

    So before the deluge of critiques for you daring opinion, I ask you: why do you think the conventional opinion is SO off in this case?

    I haven’t watched the fight with Evander and Foreman in a LONG time. This is from memory. Anyways, I’ve watched the fight in slow mo, he won for all the reasons you should, effective punching and not being hit.

    I haven't seen it since the actually fight but remember Holmes made him look silly early and was competitive but seemed to fight all night off the ropes like he did vs Mercer to maximize his legs and Holyfield seemed to be the aggressor ... I remember after feeling a prime Holmes dices Evander easily ... I may rewatch it ...

    I scored that one 116-113 Holyfield. Good competitive fight. Holyfield just outworked him down the stretch
