This day in boxing. A look back.

Diego Corrales brave right to the end against Joel Casamayor, he did not want that fight to stop.

(Tito that doctor that stopped the fight was hot, was it the spectacles?)

Probably. Great minds think alike.

FMJ v Baldomir

[Master]

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 . 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 .

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

I think the rematch was better version of Holyfeild because he fought a smarter fight. Holyfeild rushing in won him a lot but he was a great boxer and could be very defensive when he needed to be.

The second fight gets forgotten and remembered more for "fan man". I think the interval as they "sorted out" fan man allowed Holyfield to have a breather and change his strategy in the fight and get that decision. I think people were telling Holyfield that he was behind during the rest.

Holyfield fought recklessly in the first fight when he was punched low which I think was a deliberate ploy by Bowe to take Evander off his game.

Lights out in full flow here.

Bowe was definitely not adverse to fouling a guy. I think that was the thing with Tyson gnawing on his ear too. It wasn't so much Mike 'snapping' as it was being completely out of ideas and panicking a bit. You could see immediately after, he tapped his gloves together and looked at Holyfield like 'yes please please rush in wide open into this right'. Bowe also went after the bell early in both fights and Holyfield swung right back.
