Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
Whilst the first fight between Holyfield v Bowe was the best and peak from both fighters this was more dramatic. Holyfield seemed more juiced up and had greater power than ever before. Wished he was able to finish Bowe off but ended up being stopped for the only time in his career.

Nope clean as a whistle ;D. Holyfield always had a top notch left hook, underrated. Managed to shake up all the top guys he caught with it. I remember that night, man I really thought he had Bowe. Got so depressed seeing him end on his face I stopped watching boxing for months after :p.

I was screaming and pleading for Holyfield to finish Bowe off. He was shattered and could barely lift his arms. Yes, watched that live on sky sports at the time.

Holyfield TKO 11 Tyson. Need to find vid. Actually loved this fight and finally meeting up. Remember when The Ring picked Mike to steamroll a 'shot' Holyfield by KO1 and the announcers suggested EMTs with ambulance should be on the way? I 'member :scratchchin:

Tyson nearly did it with his first punch when Holyfield was expecting a left hook and got smashed with a right hand. If only it did.

Naz was at the absolute height of popularity right here, just breaking into America. Sadly, his boxing/discipline had already started to erode. Made for a bonkers up and downer though that everyone enjoyed.

Mercer was losing the fight big and then lands that one knock out shot that pulls the victory.
Loved the bit where the interviewer asked Mercer if he thought he was losing the fight and he says "are you drunk" of course I was behind.
