The average scorecard on boxed says so. It was a close fight, Holyfield underperformed, but did he do enough to win? Many feel he did.
Holyfield didn`t do anything in that fight, it was a completely boring fight, just Moorer landing jabs all fight and nothing else.
It was two fights in one really. The first half was exciting but once Moorer adjusted and Holyfield tired, it became boring. At the time, I had Holyfield winning a close one.
Moorer edged it imo but Holyfield fought well below his best. I can understand why some score it Evander’s way particularly with the knockdown but his second half of the fight was very poor.
I thought Moorer clearly won it I didn't see it as that close personally I also scored the 2nd round knockdown only 10-9 for Holyfield.
I thought it was a fair decision. Holyfield was off his game: heart issue or shoulder injury or HGH-itis or whatever, and Moorer took enough rounds with his terrific southpaw jab.
