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.

Taylor Pavlik 1

Wouldn't Taylor/Pavlik 2 be more appropriate? Taylor that was Taylor's best performance in a long time.

Glen Johnson in all his decision losses.

Augustus in his razor thin loss to Ward.

One of my all-time favorite fights. I think I like that one more than Gatti/Ward 1. Two of the judges were giving him home cooking for sure. Remember that thread a few weeks ago about worst ever scorecards 98-90 (Mike Nolan) for Ward was awful. 96-94 was the accurate one.

Don't forget the split glove on Holyfield.He was smashing so many uppercuts home on Cooper in the 5th glove rips and both get a rest,Cooper spent in sitting on stool taking huge breaths.Cooper has always been so frustrating....he go's to hell & back with Ray Mercer and Michael Moorer in absolute wars but also go's out a bit passively against Carl William's,Foreman and Bowe......among others.
