    This is ridiculous! He's near 60, and fighting a roided 40 year old!

    He looks great for a 58 year old. A lifetime supply of the juice will do that I guess.
    In terms of movement, he looks every one of his 58 years.
    This is one of those pretend exhibitions right? Even if the other guy is also old and not a boxer or whatever Evander has no business being in the ring at his age.

    They went forum shopping and Florida sanctioned it as a professional fight that will count on their records, unfortunately.

    This is fucking ridiculous.

    He looks terrible, all those punches he taken have clearly had an effect and resulted in some significant physical deterioration. I can't believe anyone would sanction him to fight a real fight, his punches look like they have nothing on them.

    Same here. The thought of watching Evander taking more punches or getting badly hurt is awful. I'm worried he's going to get pummeled by a guy he would have annihilated quickly even in his 40s.

    Bruh.....Holyfield is the one who wanted this fight so badly he was willing to sue Triller for "breach of contract" because they couldn't find him a replacement opponent after Kevin McBride pulled out.

    If Oldyfield gets hurt in this fight he has no one to blame but himself, his bad financial decisions and all his baby-making from the 1980s and 1990s.

    I don’t understand how he’s so slow on the pads. I do the pads with my dad sometimes, who is about two years older than Holyfield, and he probably has about the same hand speed as Evander in this video. However, my dad has never boxed competitively at all.

    He looks slow, very slow.
    This fight is a bad idea.

    CTE damaged brain

    full of scar tissue

    Literally one good blow could kill him

    Can't allow all that damage to catch up with you then go back in the ring

    Unbelievable people were thinking this Holyfield would beat current Tyson.

    Sickening. Maybe this will be the thing that stops all these fights. He needs to be protected from himself.
