I am wondering what Evander found under the pillow to have this fight take place!
In 1996, when he first fought Mike Tyson, there already was a cloud of doubt put upon the legitimacy of that fight. Holyfield was coming from retirement, unexpected losses one after another from opponents not regarded to be in his league, and to top it... heart murmurs. That was TWELVE YEARS AGO!!! We all know he defied the "Las Vegas" odds to beat "Big Mike" that night and on prolonged his career.
Moving to the present... there is no doubt that he probably found the fountain of youth under his pillow, to be a party to this bout.
I hope he does not get hurt, but then again I'm sure he wont, for if something bad happens to him, it will spell doom to the integrity of boxing. There will be consequences that cannot be swept under the rug.
As far as I am concerned, this is not a good matchup, not even close. What it is, is a WWF type credibility slowly creeping up its influence, to put a huge question mark to the integrity in the sport of boxing!
