    Can Berbick pull up the upset against a not well Holyfield?

    Anything can happen to a fighter when he’s not in ideal fight condition. That said I would say yes. Trevor Berbick could have upset Evander on the night he lost to Moorer. Especially if Berbick is having one of his better nights

    Holyfield wasn't in the best shape I expect Berbick to pressure him and stop him late. Berbick isn't Moorer he'll go all out when he sees the opportunity.

    Berbick at his best the version who beat Thomas and Page should be able to out work a lackluster Holyfield and win a decision.

    Berbick wins, I personally think Evander would've lost to anyone he was in the ring with that night. His issues weren't an inside the ring issue......they just bled out inside the ring. And Moorer still barely won........Then again, I believe Moorer could outbox Berbick. I think it's just the styles but I think Berbick would've beat that Evander but lost to the Evander that Moorer lost the rematch to

    Holyfield looked dreadful energy wise, just like in Bowe 3. However its tough to tell how much of his struggles were due to stylistic problems.

    He would certainly struggle more against someone he has to find and hunt down than someone who comes to him.

    It really depends on how Berbick approaches the fight andhow much he lets Holyfield control the pace by spoiling, and wrestling.
