No butts about it say Team Rahman

In that fight Holyfield used the most effective headbutt counter to a right hand that you will ever see.

 

It was actually a very good fight besides the headbutts. Holy at 40 did look better than in any of the Ruiz fights, and Rahman was also in a great shape. Rahman landed couple of hard clean right hands to the chin but Holy didn't blink. Evander won more rounds and looked like he's going to win the fight until the headbutt came. It looked weird and was increasing in size quickly so the fight was stopped.

 

King was trying to line up the winner against the winner of Lewis-Tyson or more importantly Tyson if he won since they all fought for Showtime except for Lewis.

Holyfield looked good but by now he was a serial headbutt artist being exposed as such. Rahman's goiter was one of the worst I've seen in boxing. Can't believe he endured that enswell scraping his lump like that.

 

Evander Headbuttfield

 

Holy used his head for that one!

 

I love Evander, because he's an awesome boxer, but no living person has made more of a career out of misunderstanding Sir Mix-a-Lot.

 

I think everyone s memory of that fight was the giant knot Rahman had.

It gave an early ending to what was otherwise a good fight.I think it was gonna be even better down the streth.Rahman was abour 225 lbs for that one,he came i ngreat shape against a pushing 40 Commander Vander.

 

Much like Tyson, Rahman was throwing obvious, blatant, stupid headbutts and it cost him. Rahman was coming in with his head again and Holyfield saw it again.

 

Holyfield respected Rahman more than he did Ruiz.

 

I used to love looking through my old Boxing Monthly s, every single one from 1989 -2009 , and just reading old articles.
I ended up moving tho and gave away the full lot ( like a Fool!)

 

I remember seeing pictures after the fight of Rahman.. bloody hell that must have throbbed!!
