Holyfield-Botha ROUND by ROUND...

2-1 Botha

 

Round 3 - More even 10-10

Holyfield landed a couple of good shots but, nothing much else. I believe Botha aka Arreola Sr. is slowing. His accuracy has dropped from the first 2 rounds.

 

Round 4 - 10-9 Botha

More active. Even though his fists are feathering up.

 

2-1-1 Botha

 

Is Botha beating Holyfield that bad?

 

Round 5 10-9 to Botha.

Botha landing more again. Lots of body shots. If Holyfield does have a reach advantage - it's not apparant.

 

3-1-1 Botha. Sad to see Evander like this. Botha's last fight was a draw with a clubfighter, and he's beating Holyfield.

 

Good start to 6 by Holyfield.

 

Round 6: Botha slowing, Holyfield landing more frequently and in combinations. Holyfield 10-9, 3-2-1 Botha.

 

Round 6 Holyfield 10-9

Holyfield lands bombs at various points in the round. Botha was looking to take a break that round, as punishment for this took a lot of leather. Borderline 10-8 but I give it 10-9 to Holyfield

 

Botha looks a little chubby

 

Round 7: Closer round but Evander shades it. Holyfield 10-9, 3-3-1.

 

Bothas reactions are slowing and the shots he could step back from and make Evander miss are now connecting Holyfield coming on strong second half

 

Round 7 Holyfield 10-9

Botha's hands are feathers at this stage. Holyfield landed a flurry of left hands in a clinch. Holyfield is a lot more active now. Botha plodding backwards with boths hands down at most stages.

 

Botha down in 8th, gets up, Holy pressures him and ref steps in, Holyfield TKO8, WAR EVANDER!!!!
