    Thats simply outrageous. Holy was out classed and out boxed something supreme by Bowe for the first 4-5 rounds.

    Bowe looked incredible.

    In my eyes Lewis won clearly, but maybe i have to watch it again.

    We are talking fight two. Bowe surged right after the fan man break.

    I'm well aware of that. And Bowe 'sured' the first half, not the second:roll:

    Silly. Holy surged and won rounds 4, 5 and 6. Nearly knocking Bowe down in the 5th and causing several cuts. Then came fan man giving Bowe a 20 minute rest and getting him back into the fight.

    Bowe dominated 1-4.


    He needed no rest. never did. . not even when he was shot. fan man took him mentally out of the job at hand. the space man landed on his pregnant wife. bowe was on his way to another victory

    I watched the bout live. I suggest you watch it since you are way off base with your assumptions.

    Exactly!!

    Holyfield was really starting to take command I've always been of the assumption that fan man helped Bowe out tremendously without that I'll be feel Holy would've won in a more lopsided decision or he may have even stopped Bowe. Which honestly I doubt because Rid**** Bowe had amazing durability but it would've been a wider win for Holyfield without Fanman.. There is even a more recent video of Bowe and Holyfield hanging out with Shannon Briggs and Holyfield even says sort of tongue-in-cheek joking that Rid**** Bowe's people called in fan man because they knew Bowe was about to get stopped LOL

    I thought Bowe won it by one round, close fight granted but i thought he won.

    Hope he’s ok. That guy has been around since Dempsey was riding the trains as a hobo.
