Yes, Evander packed on some 13 pounds of muscle for the rematch. It made it harder for Bowe to wear him down in the clinches.
I didn't think Holyfield helped himself out much with his game plan against Bowe. Not only did he brawl with the larger man, he did so in fairly predictable fashion, always throwing the hook, whether or not he had occasion to land it. It was a pretty one-dimensional attack. Hardly what I'd call a great showing, though perhaps an all-time great display of courage.
This one. Against Valuev, Evander definitely won. Against Lewis II, I once scored it for Holyfield by 1 point and another time a draw
