BERT COOPER Vs EVANDER HOLYFIELD

I thought Bert Cooper could of finished Evander Holyfield right there and then, but two things come into play here. One the ref gave Evander Holyfield a count because only the ropes held him up, in some cases the ref may not have given a count but the rest certianly did help Holyfield.

Secondly Cooper i thought was very poor on his offense after the KD, he smothered his own punches and never really landed a good power punch after that. And that gave Holyfield the time he needed to recover then Holyfield almost knocks Coopers head off with a counter right hand, then a lovely uppercut. Great Heavyweight round possibly better than Bowe vs Holyfield 1 round 10, but i think Cooper vs Moorer round 1 was better than both of those rounds i just mentioned.
