Holyfield dropped and stopped Neilson in the 11th round and was ahead on all cards for anyone who cared . . . . .

not that I imagine there is anyone who cares about this result.


48-year-old former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield (44-10-2, 29 KOs) defeated 46-year-old Super Brian Nielsen (64-3, 43 KOs) by eleventh round TKO on Saturday night at the Koncerthuset in Copenhagen, Denmark. Holyfield was much sharper than Nielsen, who was returning after an eight year retirement. Holyfield scored a knockdown in round three and proceeded to break down and bust up Nielsen, finally getting the stoppage in round eleven after launching a barrage of punches at Nielsen in the corner. Time was 2:49. The game Nielsen wanted to continue and didn’t seem particularly hurt.
