    Frank got rough and tough with Mike in their first fight - it did put Mike off his game for a few rounds, gaining Bruno some good ground.

    Some say Mike was already falling off his prime. I don’t buy that.

    What Frank brought to the table was real, legal or not, and somewhat new to Mike. In fact, I give Mike a lot of credit for dealing with some tough obstacles there but still coming through for the emphatic KO win. Nice lil punch up that was.

    Evander was well practiced at fouls and obviously, not just against Tyson.

    Tyson was guilty of fouling in some fights also.

    Not sure why Evander’s fouls can’t be discussed without always hearing what Mike was guilty of.

    Certainly, Holyfield’s fouls didn’t arise exclusively from the dynamic between he and Mike.

    Anyway, doesn’t get any better (or worse) than this. Hats off to the fluidity and educated execution in evidence in this short clip.

    Even Dempsey, looking down from the clouds above, would’ve mused “You can do both at the same time? Wow!”

    Nice post mate. Evander certainly took things to a level above his peers. His knowledge of where the ref was and what he could and couldn't see was elite and a real throwback to the older era's. Hell, they were hard to pick up on real time watching on TV.

    Somewhere around the time I was knee high to shiitt I was introduced to the Real Deal Holyfield game on Sega. It was a spectacular moment in the history of man kind and always felt he was the real deal... until this moment... after watching this video I feel like I have been lied to my whole life about Holyfield.

    Headbutts and low blows! What? This is mind boggling!

    I feel your pain BoB.

    You used to have that Magic in You (see what I did?) , but not anymore.

    It’s just like when they broke the news to us that Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, The Tooth Fairy etc. weren’t real.

    A whole pack of vicious and mean lies.

    Hang on, you have been told about them too haven’t you?

    Faaarrkkk, my bad. I knew I should’ve written “Spoiler Alert”.

    Please ignore everything I said.

    What do want from Santa this Xmas, btw?

    I’m gunning for the second Jack Dempsey book by Adam Pollack.

    I’ve planted post it notes all around my house..for Santa to see, of course.

    I’ve been a lil bit naughty but a lot more nice I think, so fingers crossed. :D

    Actually "You used to have that Magic in You (see what I did?) , but not anymore." you lost me. not sure what you did there?

    Fortunately for me I never knew what Santa or the Easter Bunny was. Full disclosure though I was dating a stripper with the stage name Tooth Fairy a few months ago so not sure if that counts.

    Shout out To Adam Pollack!

    B.o.B featuring Rivers Cuomo (from Weezer) sang Magic.

    Stripper, Tooth Fairy? I guess (hope) you checked to rule out the possibility of a DQ.

    Yes, always a shout out to Mr Pollack.

    Hold On! Around me "DQ" stands for dairy queen, so what exactly are we talking about?
