Nah I disagree that Holyfield needed to call it a day after this fight, or even after the 2nd or 3rd fight with Bowe. However, he could easily have afforded to retire after he beat Mike Tyson for the 2nd time.

[@dansden10]

Well the first win definitely took his fire, but the other two fights didn’t take too much out of him. Bowe’s skills declined after 1993 due to lack of dedication to his training. What really took his soul were the two fights against Andrew Golata. Those two fights fucked up his brain, body and his very soul. Again, I don’t know how much he actually trained for those two fights since he wasn’t the same fighter from the first Holyfield fight, but I think in the golata rematch he actually took training more serious but still ended his career due to golata beating the shit out of him and the multiple cheap shots golata did to bowe

Same

[@georgegreig8054]

Me too. The fact he fought the way he did against a guy at his peak who was 30 odd pounds heavier than him amazed me. He had already been in countless savage wars already. He could have retired after this fight. It must have taken something out of him. When he came back heavier I thought he lost a bit of speed and rhythm. I always get annoyed about the headbutt shit. He does what boxers have done for a hundred years. Get your head down and on to your opponents chest or shoulder. Especially if your fighting guys bigger than you.

[@mikem591]

@@georgegreig8054 The headbutt stuff was BS. I remember Tyson deliberately ran into his head to try to get out of the first fight. Tyson obsessed over it and used it as excuse to bite Holyfield’s ear the second fight. Lewis also complained about it, but he was a dirty fighter - constantly leaning on Holyfield, endlessly holding, rabbit punching, etc. Also, agree that Holyfield wasn’t quit as quick after this fight and didn’t have quit the same rythm. I noticed that difference in his second fight against Stewart. The first fight he was like a machine gun with those combos.The second fight against he didn’t really break down Stewart the way he did the first fight. He was a real boxer-puncher up to the Bowe fight. His style after this wasn’t as speed based and had a little less reliance on movement. He was still quick, but he didn’t have as much of that rapid-fire quickness of his first HW reign.

In my opinion, he had it all, from what I've seen he could always throw punches from every angle, and he was very energetic, strong and had the endurance aswell(he and David Tua once held the record for most punches thrown in a heavyweight fight, which was around 1730. To my amazement he kept brawling the entire fight without slowing down, similar to this Bowe vs Holyfield fight). Ike vs Holyfield and Tyson would have been dream fights.

Your breakdowns give me a whole next level understanding of how skilled these fighters really are. I've been watching boxing for 3 decades and you take me to school with every video you make. Thank you sir 👍

[@keithholmes8709]

Thanks for the interview. It really gave perspective on the final round. Great video.

[@znm_4052]

You should breakdown the barrera vs morales fight. One of the best boxing fights of all time.

[@bigMCLR]

That was amazing how u got Riddick for an interview, superb analysis

[@jameslancefield9810]

i love your big fight run throughs really helps see the story of the fight

[@misfit2022]

As well as the 3 Holyfield fights I also remember those controversial Golata fights. If Holyfield is one of the all time greats then Bowe doesn’t get the plaudits he deserves. Bowe’s problem was he didn’t fight many of the big 90’s fighters like Lewis, famously discarding his belt, and Tyson. I would be surprised if he didn’t regret that now.

[@ernied3123]

That was awesome. Your commentary makes it even more exciting. Thank you.

[@damianrehbein3992]

How did I just notice Holyfield looks like Mr. Potatoe-Head and a Cop from a 90 Movie at the same time? Awesome as always, Modern, good shit.

[@KaneGruber]

Outstanding breakdown! And an awesome surprise towards the end, too! 🤘🏼👍🏼

The 10th round was just absolutely breathless for its brutality. Both men taking years off their lives, both hurt, and both returning fire. Holyfield became everyone's favorite fighter that night even in defeat. He showed what true champions will go through to win a fight. That round is why boxing is the most emotionally accessible sport in the history of the world. You find out what pain human beings can fight through for glory.
