    Default Holmes-Snipes.

    What do you think of the ending to this fight? I think the stoppage was premature, but I also think that Holmes would have stopped Snipes anyway. Even if he didn't, Holmes was winning the fight.

    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    The stoppage was a little early but Holmes was starting to hurt him. Snipes was tough solid test for Holmes going in in my opinion. Didn't they both used to spar with Ali?

    The thing about Holmes was that he didn't have one punch knockout power it was just like one shade of power less than one punch knockout power or maybe even two shades but I can tell you that those last two straight right hands completely charge the brain inside the skull of Renaldo Snipes and one more straight right hand like that could have done him some serious damage I think it was a good stoppage if you look at the last two right hands they were so flush on the button on the joy and Holmes had put his entire extension into the punches Larry Holmes had a deceptively powerful right

    I mean, even with the knockdown, Holmes was in control of the fight.

    Holmes was a sucker for the right hand. Tyson dropped him with that shot too.

    Larry had a great chin but I think a prime Tyson may have beaten a prime Holmes now.
