    Did anyone else catch this. I believe it was near the first minute of round one. Holyfield took a step back and sort of held his chest. It honestly concerned me for a minute because of the face he made. I thought was having a heart attack for a second. Did anyone else see this?

    Also, i don't know how to edit thread titles, that should be beginning

    I saw it as well...

    I was wondering what was going on for a split second, but then he continued to fight.

    i missed it. i'd have to rewatch it again to spot what you were talking about, but i'd have to say it would not surprise me if holyfield had some kind of heart problem

    Yeah he had some kind of awkward backward stutter step.

    Any idea what that was? All I could think of was G-Man and how he started blinking a lot after getting hit sometimes right before the Benn fight. Holyfield might have done that a couple of times in the fight. I didn't tape it, so maybe someone can clearly explain what he did in the second if they are up for it.

    lol, I did make a joke to a fellow poster on here that with those Russian ringcard girls Holyfield was probably leaving Russia with three kids on the way.

    Seriously though, scary thought if he's having heart trouble.

    I'd be interested to hear if Holyfield had a heart attack or murmur or something during this fight. No, I'm not using that as an excuse. Igbragimov wins either way. I'm just saying for the sake of Holyfield I'm interested to see if anything comes out of this.

    Yeah I seen it too.. I thought he was about to have a heart attack. He really needs to retire. His coordination is off and so is his ability to see punches coming. If he doesn't retire then the boxing commission should make sure he doesn't get a license.

    I can't see who would even want Holyfield on their resume though. But I did hear Sultan made 8 million dollars for this fight. I guess he is still somewhat of a payday. But damn, I'd feel bad whooping on the old man, and it does nothing for your credentials at this point.

    I didn´t see it. But I noticed that Holyfield didn´t look like his usual confident self while sitting in the corner between rounds.

    So would it go in the books as a KO or TKO if Sultan won by way of Heart Attack?

    Seriously; that along should convince Evander it's time to stop.
