    I see it the other way, the longer the fight goes the better for Holyfield.
    Fighting 3 minute rounds with boxing gloves on is a whole other ballgame to fighting with mma gloves on.

    Did you not see Mayweather vs McGregor? McGregor was having a hard time lifting his hands after a few rounds of punching with boxing gloves on. After McGregor started showing arm fatigue, Mayweather just one punch at a time was just timiing right hands down the middle and catching McGregor clean with them.
    As slow as Holyfield looks I can see something similar employed by Holyfield. Being in a ring in a real fight and sparring in a ring as Belfort undoubtedly has been doing are totally different things.
    The feeling here is that Belfort will tire before Holyfield who's experience in the ring will help him cope with any kind of fatigue.

    Would love to see Belfort convulsing on the canvas against a non-geriatric boxer. Triller can get fucked too.

    I'm sad after watching Holyfield there. Not good. Why did this happen.

    I still fancied Holyfield but he's almost 60. When he threw his first punch he looked so slow. Time waits for no man as they say. Gutted to see the real deal look like that.

    I feel dirty for streaming it. That's a man who shouldn't even be doing light sparring. Sad.

    This Ryan Kavanaugh clown should play in traffic also. Complete scumbag. Hope the worst for him.

    Aye mate I said I was done with Triller. After how Mike looked vs. RJJ faded but still solid I thought he'd still bring something to this fight but he looked like he's lost it. He looked really old in there.

    You can't blame the ref for stopping it can't even really blame Belfort for going in so hard but not good to see.

    Think Tyson would beat Holyfield now but I don't want to see it.

    Aye mate like Holyfield is as game as a badger took this on short notice. Yes he's still a fit man but people around him should have prevented this from happening.
