Yeah I noticed Bates was somewhat star struck, Holyfield wanted Bates more active so he could counter, Holyfield had to be patient. I thought Evander did good overall considering a 2 year layoff. I think his chances are pretty good getting another belt, I would like to see Evander get more work . maybe knockout a couple more guys before the years end . maybe that Gutierrez guy Tua fought next.
