    Pretty close fight from what I remember. Trying to work out my score now. How did you score the fight?

    I liked Jerry Roth's score of 115-113. It was a close bout for sure, but I think Evander was a but busier and more tenacious.

    I think if I remember correctly the key round is the fan man round. Depending on how I scored that round it was either 7-5 holy or a draw but it's been long time since I watched it

    Was at this one. From about row 20 thought Holy won it pretty easily, although I don't remember my score. I had money on Bowe and really wanted him to win but he seemed a bit unmotivated.
    I always scored Holy higher than others for some reason, even though I wasn't a massive fan. Had him winning the second Lewis fight by a pretty good margin too.

    Holyfield by a point, plenty of close rounds in this one.

    A draw. I have no problem with Holyfield winning though.

    The night of the fight I scored it a draw. I think the fan man incident helped Holyfield.

    Clearly, Bowe was not in his best shape. Also, I am not sure Holy was past his best.

    7-5 Holyfield.

    Holy proved he could adapt to beat Bowe. Although it's hard to say who the better fighter was.
