It was a close fight and I think the break helped Evander because he was told to pick up the pace after the undue delay by Fan Man. Holyfield bulked up in weight and muscle which helped him absorb the punches better and he had Manny in his corner who wanted him to fight at a rhythm which was throwing punches in combinations.

Bowe did not help himself as he was not as lean as he was for the first fight. Bowe also had a couple of very easy defences after he beat Holyfield the first time so he was not as motivated. Evander also fought a smarter fight and deserved the decision.
