I've heard it said elsewhere that some thought Qawi deserved the nod against Holyfield.. Don't think I've ever heard it said on these boards though.
Don't have a round-by-round card, but I thought Holy outboxed him down the stretch to take the decision.
Gave Holyfield rounds 1,2,3,8,9,10,11,12,13,14. Gave Qawi rounds 4,5,6,7,15. Total:145-140 Holyfield. But I watched it scoring it a longtime ago while not really in the mood to score a 15 rounder so I might have missed a few rounds.Remmeber several were close.
Qawi 9 9 10 10 10 10 9 9 9 9 9 10 9 9 10 Holyfield 10 10 9 9 9 9 10 10 10 10 10 9 10 10 9 Holyfield 145 Qawi 142 Great fight but I thought Holyfield edged it clear.
**** the card.......... A DRAW!!!! Holy got some home cooking in Atlanta...... However, '87 was a DIFFERENT tale altogether........ MR.BILLgood
I didnt score it but I felt it was a very close fight and a draw would have been a fair result. The commentary in the video I watched seemed very biased towards Holyfield Im going to score it in the next couple of days
