The story of Moorer v Holyfield 1

[Master]

Holyfield had just won his heavyweight title back from Bowe with the help of Manny Steward. He decided not to pay Manny because he thought he was too expensive for his match against Moorer. Holyfield said there was nothing Manny could teach him as he was very experienced fighter by then.

Michael Moorer was the number 1 contender but had not fought any top 10 contenders and was the underdog in the fight. He had been wobbled a few times and knocked down but won against Bert Cooper in that classic match.

Holyfield came into the fight injured because he could not get his punches off and I was screaming at the TV screen saying just throw the combinations and he would win. Moorer out boxed a slow and old Evander. This was the infamous fight where Teddy Atlas was screaming at Moorer that he was blowing the fight and was being over dramatic for the TV. Holyfield did knock Moorer down in the fight but was clearly out boxed to lose his title.

Moorer became the first southpaw heavyweight champion.

Holyfield claimed he had a heart attack during the fight and retired. Only to come back a year later to say he was cured.

Moorer was the biggest waste of space as a heavyweight just looked bored and disinterested in his fights at time. Very boring to watch but at light heavyweight he was a beast who could punch hard. Moorer said he wanted to retire as a boxer and become a sniper for SWAT which showed his heart was not in the game.

Moorer lost his title in his first defence against Foreman when he was comprehensively out boxing the old man but got careless. I will never forgive him for that. I hated Big George and his fake come back.

Eventually Holyfield got revenge against Moorer when he again became champion beating Tyson and unifying the title. The fight was on channel 5 and the commentators were saying Moorer would win. Holyfield knocked down Michael loads of time and stopped him. Holyfield should never have lost to Moorer because he was made to order for him to eat up the left hook and right cross of Evander.

The first two paragraphs was cool, but then you turned it into a screed against Moorer. lolol....

Your thread opened up emotions that I was not aware were there for me. It was almost therapeutic letting my feelings out. For that, I thank you.
