Yea, still a great fight though.. Was quite a triolgy. Wonder how different the rematch would have been if Bowe was just as sharp as he was for the first fight.. Certainly Holyfield seemed to make the right adjustements for the rematch, but how much of it was Bowe not preparing as hard.. Who knows. I saw an interview of Emmanuel Steward on TV some months ago and the host asked him what his proudest/greatest moment as a trainer was... And he said it was a tie between several Thomas Hearns fights, and training Holyfield for the Bowe rematch.. Just considering how badly Holyfield was beaten in the first match. It was close, but really Holyfield was beaten on the inside, outside, and outmuscled, taking quite a beating.
