    Did Holyfield have enough experience at that point to beat prime Briedis? Holyfield always, but particularly then would get involved in tear ups and ditch the boxing, would that be a disadvantage?
    Who wins this matchup?

    I love Breidis but I can't pick against a prime Holyfield. Evander just simply finds a way to win and he does just that against the underrated Breidis.

    Just added a poll since it’s only just been bumped and I didn’t realise I didn’t add one at the time.

    Holyfield UD.

    Briedis chin is cast iron though so I can’t see a stoppage, certainly not at CW.
