Bowe vs Holyfield II

[Ron Swanson]

I just watched this again, Bowe absolutely did not lose this fight. The no doubt Bowe won rounds were 1,2,3,9,10,12. That's a draw right there but an argument can be made for Other rounds.

I don't like Bowe but I also don't like seeing a man lose his title without actually losing.

[Beanflicker]

I think I had it 7-5 for Bowe, but I haven't watched it in years so I'd have to go back and re-score it to be sure. But yeah, I thought it was extremely close either way and not a very convincing win for Evander at all. Bowe got him back with that brutal KO in the 3rd fight though.

[Sleepwalker]

It always seemed as if Holyfield has gotten more praise from their trilogy than Bowe even though Riddick won 2 of those fights convincingly.

Bowe was winning until fan man came. Holyfield picked up the pace and got the decision. Fan man helped him.

[Spicoli]

On live watch had it 115-113 Holyfield. Bowe should have spent less time thinking about putting refrigerators in his bedroom. I'm on the other side and thought idiot fan man 'helped' Bowe get second wind after Holyfield took 4,5,6 having Bowe cut and wobbled in 5th. Bowe found his jab start of 7th though, and then the fool from above. Didn't that guy end up committing suicide? Man I miss Mills Lane!

[SlimTrae]

6-5-1 even for Holy.

[Master]

Yes Fan man got battered by Bowe's mates and later committed suicide.

Bowe has been involved in a lot of chaos:

1. Fanman
2. Catching Larry Donald with the two-piece at the podium
3. Getting punched in the nuts against Golota
4. Post fight riot @ MSG
5. Getting punched in the nuts again against Golota
6. Joining the Marines
7. Leaving the Marines (after a few days I believe)
8. Kidnapping his wife.

..................just naming a few things

Add in elijah tillary trying to kick him only to get WWE'd backflipped out of the ring by his manager Newman....and Bowe was still firing shots!!!!
Yeah I miss Bowe too!!!!

[SlimTrae]

#4 that was special.

#4 that was special.

That shot of fat ass Lou Duva being hauled out on a stretcher hanging over the guardrail with his belly hanging out was cringeworthy.

Lou said he hollered out ...put me down!! Let me walk to the ambulance before you all kill me!!!!
Man i forgot that scene....damn Riddick Bowe and the real 2 live 'crew!!!

[Ron Swanson]

6-5-1 even for Holy.

Please explain how you stole one from 1,2,3, 9, 10 or 12 from Bowe. I'd really like to know because I don't see any of them as even debatable.

As for who the fan man helped, tough to say. Bowe was winning the 7th big when the fan man came and I ended up giving it to Holy and the 8th. So I'd say it favored Holy. Sooner or later Bowe was bound to get back to his jab and take control back which he did in the 9th.

[Beanflicker]

The best part of the fight was that cocksucker who flew into the ring on a fan, then as he was tangled in the ropes Bowe or Holyfield's corner pounded the fuck out of him.

[mikeeod]

I had Evander winning the fight and felt like Bowe benefitted greatly from the fan man interruption. It's funny that Riddick won that series 2-1 and yet many feel that he suffered more wear n tear n negative effects than Evander. Those were great heavyweight fights, in my opinion.

Interesting fact: one of the main guys beating fan man with a phone (from Bowe's "security") is the same guy who started the MSG riot by hitting Golota with the phone. For Bowe controversies don't forget the Pierre Coetzee low blows (from Bowe) or the punch on Mathis jr. while he was on a knee.
