This fight is as good as it is bad. You're bound to get an action fight for at least the first 3 rounds. Holyfield is a workhorse but his body has betrayed him. Tyson has all the mechanics of a monster still and could probably still be formidable, but his mind has betrayed him. I saw the replay of Toney-Holyfield a couple weeks ago and, truth be told, I don't know if Holyfield could have beaten that version of Toney in his prime. Holyfield honestly didn't look bad in the first few rounds. His reflexes were slower, but his power was still there and so was his chin. Holyfield's biggest problem was that shoulder. He couldn't get that left arm up for an effective jab. Now the shoulder works, but what if Tyson punches him in it a few times? What if Holyfield uses his third punch?

If Mike can get his mind back to the early days, he destroys Holyfield. If he doesn't and comes in looking for a whallup of a shot, Holyfield plays paddy-cake with his face for a half hour. This match-up is impossible to predict because the only certainty is that it will be a spectacle. If the promoters know what they're doing they'll load this up with a huge undercard of hungry guys with something to prove to take the possible sour taste out of the fans' mouths before they can taste it.
