[Music] when you got an advantage of a left jab you don't wait to you land on the chest or not Bo is not doing it Holyfield tries the first real combination and both gets Holyfield with the first leg lift of the fight let's go he must remember to box control his passion for Warfare Bo must remember to put each punches together and make them count inside all right hand by Bo Holyfield answers with a counter left and then Landing to the body as they clench and then bring okay Oh missing with a long right hand come on break out break out come on let's go Holyfield must find a way to get inside Riddick bowe's jab when the bigger man starts to use it rhythmically so far Holyfield has been beating Bo to the punch with his kid oh what the heck come on hard right hand by Holyfield round one ends Holyfield seem to throw more punches as he goes back to his Corner trainer is Don Turner a third different trainer in the trilogy with both Benton and duvet in the first bite then Emmanuel Stewart in the second fight now Don Turner tonight [Music] oh exactly how beautiful that double left is working keep working keep working breathe [Applause] great don't wait on him but you can't throw one punch because he's gonna Tower too right [Music] a very good first tactical round for Holyfield beating Bo with his Jab and around in the first fight Holyfield won the first round on all three cards in the second fight Beau won the first round on all three cards dad by Holyfield and George between rounds you heard Eddie futch saying the boat don't wait on him yeah you got that long reach why in the world are you standing up waiting to land a shot no no you can go anytime come on and you got the rain needs to step up a lot of people love to give both Reddit for being a good inside fighter and there's Cortez already putting himself into the action a lot of people give both credit for being a very good in fighter George you see holes in his game there uh completely he's not uh he'll sneaker left uh the uppercut in there he'll sneaking in it's not what you call a pure up because he lost you to sleep and he sneaks in under there uh he's a good right hand puncher if he can get it overhand light Holyfield needs to be hit with a straight right down the line right hand what about Holyfield having to punch up against the taller man well the head is there and he's not protected because you got to aim down you have the tendency of a big man to drop your hands because you're aiming down just throw up there you can't miss those big tall guys I know I've been up there you've been hit yep Ole missed with a slow right hand and Holyfield stepped in with the counter now the right hand sharper by Beau and that one lands and now Bo gets in an uppercut why is Holyfield staying in there George it seems like the last place you should be well he's in there with a bigger guy and he shouldn't let this guy wear him down with that extra weight so this is not good package on this behalf but he said earlier he wanted a knockout two hard left hooks inside by Holyfield pressing the action keeping his head against beau's chest o has twice in this round landed the uppercut if he remembers to throw it as he did in the first bite it can be an extremely effective blow great right hand not a lot of snap behind it for gold but the left hook inside is good Holyfield with the right give me clean around guys come on thank you a persistent theme in the trilogy hunting after the Bell well Evander Holyfield was hit below the belt a couple of times the referee didn't do anything about it Holyfield got mad I know anybody that's good he can't bounce and move like he was before you get on the inside come over here okay [Music] let's see what happened after that after that the end of the round unfortunately for Holyfield that might have been the best part of the round for himself you heard any such say George that he didn't think Holyfield could move and dance the way he did in the first round anymore and that hope and that boat should go to work on that premise do you think that that's already out of the plan well yeah he doesn't have to move this time man Rick Bo is not expelling and using that jail to keep a guy moving standing there you don't waste your energy if you don't have to Why move this guy's not doing anything to make you move Holyfield so effective moving in and out in the second bout is now staying inside giving Beau a chance to make his power a big factor they are trading shots at close range as you can see you guys and the uppercut by both he threw 81 of them in the first fight and of course it was an uppercut that rocked Holyfield in the 10th round of that fight but go only threw 26 uppercuts in the second edition of Holyfield Vogue and that was one of the Tactical differences that night Holyfield is not doing anything to protect himself right now so he must be feeling the effects of that first uppercut another uppercut by Beau snaps Holyfield's head back Holyfield with some of the uppercut medicine for Riddick [Applause] did some serious damage but we don't see the results of it as yet guys let's go [Applause] he counted 10 low blows by Beau unpenalized in the first of their three fights tonight Joe Cortez is staying on top of that at least for now Holyfield is walking into this big man an of sovereign punishment that's not the way you re-establish yourself as a good boxer it looks like a suicidal strategy doesn't it George I wouldn't tell a young man with that kind of boxing ability to do that at all hard right hand by Holyfield he must believe he's going to land enough of those to make this strategy pay off [Music] two guys who won't take no for an answer inside Oh missing with the uppercut Holyfield missing with the counter left come on I'm not sure what event at Holyfield is trying to prove that I don't think he proved it with that strategy you're laying him down sliding a little bit to the left a little bit to the right keep throwing those double guts over the right hand and the left hand watch Liam look look they have one big shot but yeah [Music] he wanted to move but he can't move there you see Holyfield throwing an uppercut Riddick both normally throws more uppercuts in there you can see them on the Belt thing that both throws more uppercuts in one fight than many fighters throw in their careers and this kind of tactic by Holyfield seems made for him yeah maybe Holyfield knows something we don't numbers so the pattern of the first two fights re-emerging both throwing more spots judiciously and landing at a higher rate hard right hand by both Holyfield comes back with a lift and again they begin round four trading shots in the middle of the Ring crowd Rises as Holyfield seems to stun ball with a left hook [Applause] beau's right hand was blocked uppercut missed inside boy that was something serious exchange big men doing that very often but this is what these guys have done and this is we're now in the 28th round of their fights let's go hard for Beau to establish his jab when Holyfield stays so close inside maybe that's part of what Evander is thinking with the strategy but on the other hand he's paying a heavy price for it he found the Holyfield there's no way in my mind fighting smart he has for the first time in his career I saw him look toward the ropes to maybe lay on the ropes and wait a little bit that's not even the Holyfield never look for the ropes to hide in four of his last six bouts and that becomes a concern when your head is in there against the other guy's head all night as has so far been the case for them uppercut lands Holyfield it's laying on Riddick Bowe trying to recuperate and get his air back together let me tell you he's not recuperating in the old event to Holyfield taking too much time to get his breathing Rhythm back again Bo has a habit you saw it there beginning to slap when he throws punches in numbered combinations three four punches at a time Bose last couple of punches will be slaps but the straight right hand is usually pretty heavy come on because much of the action most of the action is at such Close Quarters that it's really hard to see back of 10 or 12 rows what's going on oh landed a straight right Holyfield came back with a counter left four rounds in the books chill out man it's okay huh no man no man that's all right this is a good time for the doctor to get in and ask how you've been to Holyfield for the questions here's his Furious Exchange connecting Holyfield a nice left hand there caller Man Down but it may be the only field can do it and you saw him land his own low blood and frankly George Evander Holyfield in the corner between rounds looked more exhausted than I've ever seen him at this stage of a fight I was about to say the same thing he looked almost like he got old between rounds but we may be misreading him everybody to use an old expression he just looked all stove in between right how Letterman quickly can you give us your scorecard Larry 39-37 three rounds to one ridiculate the first round to Revenge the Holyfield on a jib but Riddick phones dominated ever since I've got a really hard offender with a right hand to the fourth round yeah I had the same score Harold more trading shots in the center of the ring this is a very dangerous fight as far as I'm concerned for Evander Holyfield it's not looking good talk about the healing he received this man is not able to catch a second win he's not able to get it again come on your hands are free it doesn't look good so you think there's at least a chance that the stiff heart condition which causes the Brewer fight was not in fact misdiagnosed and that he's being bothered in some way now just as he was against Michael Moore it's terrible he's even more so now he can't catch a defense look at there we're establishing what George Foreman's opinion is here yeah all right guys I miss corner I throw in the towel if I'm the Holyfield Corner I'd throw in the tower low glow and hold on you got some time let me know when you're ready [Applause] ain't no need for know that there ain't no need for nothing I told you twice already one point already and her Holyfield can have as many as five minutes to recover from this and now he says he's ready to go flipped oh man's key then about a State athletic commission doctor is sitting in Holyfield's Corner Holyfield taking a couple of heavy shots Holyfield is really hurting he looks like he's ready to go he looks like he has nothing to get back he just became 33 going on 53. sander Holyfield has never been knocked out in his professional boxing career he's gonna punch this up keep him up he's gonna punch this up guys an extremely concerned George Foreman is presently on his feet suggesting to Joe Cortez that he thinks a stoppage wouldn't be inappropriate yeah but now Holyfield comes back with a right hand George you're sitting back down the problem of course is is that you just can't underestimate Holyfield and what happens if he gets a second win his reputation he's not going to get a second win this man is going to end up in a pine box he's got hard trouble it's evident he cannot get his breathing together he can't recuperate if he had not had this doctors examine him well I can't refute the doctors um who claim it was misdiagnosed and remember of course that he got medical clearance from the Mayo Clinic and other established medical authorities before the Nevada state commission license him for the ballot bow is not hurting Holyfield Holyfield is being hurt inside himself come out [Music] what are you doing out there [Music] the curly hair gentleman and the great tweet sport coat is Dr flip homanski of the Nevada State athletic committee we're here to make sure nobody takes unnecessary punishment I don't take control of this time this guy's looking behind us radio fan be quiet take control of yourself all right all right okay let's go let's go he's done I hope he doesn't get hurt I scored that round even though a point was taken away from Bo I gave him a 9-8 round because I think he gave such a licking to Holyfield thank you [Applause] not getting enough how can you ever count this man out he is just amazing and Bows out on his feet if Evander can find him he might finish it it was a left hook that did the damage Evander Holyfield not known as a knockout puncher trying to finish the big band here can vote show the resilience that Holyfield showed in their first fight then he survived this [Applause] Holyfield was ready to give up he's got Bo almost out on his feet and now Holyfield seems to have run out of gas [Applause] [Music] boat getting himself back together got an excellent chance now to make it out of the rounds and maybe even to turn it around the way Holyfield did on him in round 10 of the first fight here comes both I would never ever believe that I would see this of almost a mirror image of what we saw before come on come on come on go looking at Cortez to ask for help he says if Andrew hit me on the back of the head that's the first time Beau is down as a professional come on let me hold on don't be holding and he is showing some stuff that we haven't seen before in terms of his heart and will and it's a good thing he got into great condition for this fight punches without snap now what are you making everyone else no I'm not stunned I mean you've been to hold it though it's fighting on pure pure curve dangerous courage in your view dangerous dangerous and seconds left in round six Holyfield Mountain attack again [Applause] though can't seem to stop the left hand Evander misses here we go again don't walk into him with your hands hands down ready okay all right okay it contributed to the final blow and there it is that left hook down goes down goes boat an amazing turnabout when you've been watching fights as long as we have you're hesitant in in suggesting that something like this could happen again so we are as startled as anyone else round 31. [Applause] at that time there was no doctor in Holyfield's Corner between rounds Commander still seems to be struggling to regain his breath there you go home gargantuan effort from both men let's go come on Holyfield in round six landed 30 of 41 punches and most of them were power shots old men seeming to try to get a little bit of a rest here George boy I wouldn't want to get a rest this way your hands are free guys let's go it wasn't a minute into round seven one short left hook from Beau the most significant punch of the rounds don't knock him up there's [Applause] get him foreign throughout the second of their three fights Evander Holyfield effectively swung around by flurrying in the last 30 seconds George Foreman you're furiously quieter the old saying is sometimes more is less is that it it's uh this is a dangerous situation and uh there's no intelligence that I can get out of it at this point Holyfield has had this diagnosis and he is showing and he's showing it he's standing right in front of this guy he could not stand in front of this guy okay all you gotta do is Step around step around when you do fire firing steps not one or two three and four hey shorten that hook up okay don't aim force that aim for a shoulder you got me all right gotta keep those punches of this body going back to the little uppercut all right you did it once [Music] looked as though somebody might have brushed some smelling salt surprise Rose nose [Music] Carol that he had to score after seven rounds Larry four two one even rounds 66 65 in points Reddit Ball by one point Larry I gave her uh Evander an extra point in round six with a knockdown but I still scored that other end round five nine to nine I squatted even I'll tell you this is tremendous stuff all right hand Inside by Holyfield and now down goes the Bender all right hand by both a right hand inside as Holy Spirit lunch to get back at him seven did the trick I don't think he's gonna make it no he made it how do you feel yeah wonderful terrific [Applause] once again they even exceed the highest expectations we had [Music]
