    Holyfield-Dokes.
    It was an entertaining first round. Both men came out firing and there were some good exchanges. Dokes hit holyfield with about 25 low blows in the first 2 minutes. At the very end of the round holyfield simultaneously hit dokes in the nuts with the left hook and head-butted him.

    This first round was just the beginning of one of the best fight I've ever seen.

    I think round 8 was the best of that fight, featuring a classic comeback from Holyfield a la Cooper (round 3) and Bowe 1 (round 10).

    I thought round 9 was the best. Up to that point Holyfield had been the dominant force in the fight, and Dokes made a good rally in the 9th b4 being stopped in the next round.
