    Not really interested in this. They’re just going to go through the motions like Mike and Roy. DLH-Belfort was somewhat interesting with it being a real fight and Belfort having the huge power and size advantage.

    Holyfields people better put clauses in the contract like that fight had, or Belfort will lay him out. He's unhinged, he isn't bothered about hurting a nearly 60 year old man who already has severe brain damage. Exhibition or not..... This fight is a farce, boxing is very quickly being reduced to a joke.

    Looks like it's going to be a sanctioned fight, not an exhibition. This is pretty fucked up in my opinion. Holyfield is closer to 70 than he is 45.

    If it's on the up and up, Belfort brutalizes him and puts him in the hospital. This is one of those rare times that I wish Florida had slightly tighter restrictions.:lol:

    Actually he’s been training for months, he was expecting a Tyson exhibition then that fell through then he was supposed to fight Kevin McBride, then that fell through. So this cam up and he took it. He’s actually in really good shape especially for his age.

    Cannot believe Belfort isn't a red hot favourite here.

    Evander never really was all that articulate in his prime.................but you're right he definitely shouldn't be fighting.
