Should be a good fight. Both over 40. Both had tough fights with Moorer and it is for a World Title. Okay so the WBF.
Holyfield by stoppage. He's still dangerous against fighters who don't move too much. Botah is slower than ever, and in terrible shape. He's more shot than Evander ever will be.
I think Botha will be up for this fight and will give a good account for himself. Not sure whether he wins it or not but he'll bring it and he is the younger guy.
O for goodness sake. Botha should have called it a day a long time ago. As for Holyfield the guys a fossil. He has no business anywhere near a boxing ring.
have you seen Bothas last fight? He got a gift against a C-class journeyman that he would have whipped a couple years ago. Horrible, horrible performance...
........ yeah, but he beat Valuev last time out (but was robbed). Beating Valuev is all the rage now.
I think that while we all agree that Evander should retire, this fight won't do him any harm. After all, Botha still has a name, if nothing else. What I really fear is that some greedy crooked promoter like Don King is building up another title-fight for Holyfield. Holyfield has to be saved from himself. If he wants to keep on fighting, give him fights like this one, but don't put him in with someone who will really hurt him. If the Klitschkos or Haye ever will sign a fight with Holyfield, I will lose all respect for them.
Everyone was saying Valuev would kill him and the promoters were sanctioning a murder in that one, too.
Evander Holyfield beat "The Beast" and did a better job than David Haye..!!! A 46 year old Holyfield..! He should be the WBA Heavyweight Champion as we speak..!
I think Botha can do it. Its in has back yard in Africa. He is talking the talk and if he prepares well i think he can do it. I think he can grind this victory out. He could get a big match himself after that! I think i might be the only one who thinks he will win though.
Botha's tough. He can certainly hang in there with Holyfield. Pickem fight for me. I didnt even hear about this, but its a good scrap. When is it?
Usually fights like this with guy who would have fought 10 years before end up close to what the fight would have been 10 years ago. Maybe it is because fighters age at the same rate. I expect Holyfield to win a decision or late round stoppage, what he would have years ago.
yeah botha used to be fairly tough and crafty. if his mind is still working and he's in any type of shape, he should be able to figure a way to give old man holy a tough fight and perhaps get the W in his back yard.
