That is true, but Byrd is a much closer comparison between the stance, movement, and volume, and Holyfield couldn't solve him, either. I know...
The first time Holyfield fought a skilled southpaw, he was a comfortable favorite....and then Moorer upset him. He beat Moorer in the rematch, but...
To be fair, Evander only had 18 fights at the weight himself before moving up.
Usyk is a bad matchup for Holyfield. Holy got better at fighting southpaws as he went on, but he still got upset by the first good one he fought...
Cruiser was still new when Holy came into the scene and had a gimmicky reputation, fair or not. It's still treated as the red headed stepchild...
And the same year (1926) as Luis Ortiz
Breidis' performance was great when he fought Usyk, but seeing Usyk tonight really puts it into perspective
Regis is going to win the whole thing IMO. Taylor is my bet for runner up (not sure how the brackets are lined up)
The awards going to keep getting passed between Top Rank fighters as long as ESPN and them continue their current deal.
By following Tesla's lost blueprints, naturally
My vote went to Tyson Fury
Ducked Pulev for this? Bleh.
He needed the juice to offset the damage Teddy Atlas did to him. He was turning into the Benjamin Button of heavyweights under Teddy's "coaching".
Beltran was a stay busy to snag the last remaining strap. It's pretty clear the setup was for Loma to take out Beltran and Mikey to get Easter's...
Dudes targeting Mikey, as well he should. There's unfinished business at 135 for both Loma and Mikey, and that's the fight that needs to get done.
