    Holyfield started out good, but David was starting to connect at the end. Either way decent sparring session.

    Tua does well, but it's still just a sparring session. I'm surprised Holyfield doesn't keep that right hand more planted near his head. Tua's definitely the best partner he could have had for fighting Tyson.

    This is the closest thing to seeing an actual fight between these two. I'd love to see a fight between them, even now, despite the fact that both of them are shot.

    Though flat footed ,Tua looks to have faster hand speed here than he usually exhibits.

    I think it's because they were both going easy and Tua wasn't putting much behind the shots.
