Yea I agree, but it was a big improvement over his fight with Larry Donald where he looked like he was just trying not to shat himself period.. It's so hard to tell if he has improved majorly or not at all, since he was fighting a total bum last time out.. I would really like to see him take on a couple lesser opponents first and work his way up...Not that Oquendo is great but if Holyfield is really the same guy who lost to Larry Donald, he could get really hurt in this fight.. I would have rather seen him at least active for a while, but I guess this is a great way to jump right back into the picture. I hope he can do it.

I hope he can do it also, but Evander has slowly declined since beating Rahman.. he lost to Byrd than Toney and then Donald. He blames injuries but I guess we will find out how good he is now. Beating Oquendo at this point would be impressive. Interesting matchup would be Briggs/Holyfield.

"O Mylanta" speaking of Bowel Movements, I'll be back right back

$44.99- what is wrong with them?

Next month- Brian Minto vs Kirk Johnson - $74.99

Jesus they are really chargin $45 for this fight? I really really do hope Holyfield pulls it off. He looked good against a super stationary opponent who reminded me of Joe Louis' old "Bum-of-the-Month Club". But really I havent seen the old Holyfield in years. Not since he fought Rahman way back when and Hasim grew a siamese twin on his head in the middle of the fight. James Toney beat the crap out of him. I knew it was time to retire after that fight. Not just because Toney KOed him for the first time ever, but because afterwards in the post fight interview Holy used the word, "abba-dooba-dabba" in a sentence! Needless to say "abba-dooba-dabba" is not a word you find in Websters. It is not a new type of boxing slang for "man i got whupped on". It is painful evidence that maybe it is time for this great former champion to hang up the gloves. That Larry Donald fight was really sad. I'm so pullin for him, but it's a real long shot for The Real Deal pulling this off. Fres Oquendo isnt too well known, but he is leaps and bounds better than Jeremy Bates or Larry Donald. Hopefully if Evander loses he will step down and retire. At least he did appear to speak more coherently after his last win...maybe that's a good sign too. But whoever posted about how he looked like he was slow setting his punches and getting off in the Bates fight was absolutely right. Against a good opponent he would get disrupted and beat to the punch all night. Kinda like against Larry Donald except he isnt a good opponent.
