    Brian has been knocked down once and he's really struggling.

    I think that Holyfield won a TKO.

    Holyfield stopped him via TKo, abused him badly. Holy showing some good work in there,. Neilsen looks like the elephant man post fight all busted up.

    Next stop Klitschko!

    Was the fight competitive or just a one sided beating by Holyfield?

    Nielsen said he didnt think it was a fair fight. He wasnt satisfied with his performance and he feels he can come back stronger and win and he wants a rematch. Holy didnt interview post fight.

    Nielsen was dead tired tko rd 11 holy.

    Nielsen looked like a 60 yr old in there. Not sure how old the guy is. He had some mild early moments. I didnt officially score it and never saw the judges cards.

    It was pretty much all oldyfield. I was actually surprised with evanders stamina in this fight with as bad as he looked vs williams.

    I know Evander said he wants a title shot, but realistically what's the more likely option?

    Well, to me it seemed that Holyfield slowed down considerably around round 8. Holyfield didn't look that good either when Brian used his left jab.

    Holyfield generally looked fine for his age. But against someone who is not as slow as Brian Nielsen, and who is willing to consistenly take the center of the ring and use af stiff jab, I think Holyfield would really take some damage.

    WRONG AS HELL!!!

    I read that Holyfield won by TKO in round 10. And as it is not a title fight is was onlly supposed to be 10 rounds.

    You know. In reality i dont think Holy really believes he can lose to either klitschko. The guy really needs an epic beat down to get it through his head. I mean I thought valuev would dismantle him. Not because valuev is some kinda great heavy but Oldy was shot even before then. Yet, IMO he won that figth cleanly.

    So, it seems he needs an epic beatdown to really get it through his skull that he isnt anything more than an exhibition fighter. As I type that he just went 11 rds though. Really a hard pill to swallow.
