    He's still badass for almost 50 though, and in better shape than most of the division.

    Don't blame boxing, you're the one staying up for a 48 year old Evander Holyfield fight vs Sherman Williams.

    The fight was terrible, but c'mon lets not forget, Holy is pushing 50 and looks better conditioned than 95% of the world's Heavyweight's it seems.

    Hugely dissapointing card. As said above, Holy just bounces now lol. His reflexes arent there anymore. I actually think Williams was on his way to beating him.

    Monte Barrett should fight Evander next. Loser has to pay each other's child payments.

    What a disgraceful quit job by Holyfield. Williams won that fight via Quittage. That cut wasn't even bleeding.

    NC3 Williams looks a hell of a lot better than TKOby4 Williams. :nod

    Holyfield made the right choice.

    He didn't look as shot as I thought he'd be though. Barrett looked worse for example.

    Everything looked good (including his movement..he looked fresh) but he was still getting caught with nasty punches. I think Williams adopted the right strategy to force Holy to come to him. One more round like the last and Evander would have been stopped and he and his corner knew it.
