Evander Holyfield vs Frans Botha Jan. 16th

Seriously?

 

A has been vs a never was?

Horrible fight .A 47 year old on the verge of brain damage against a 41 year old who has never beat anyone in his career and was never even a top 10 fighter

Give me that Spring Chicken.. Evander Holyfield :) If Holyfield was 55 I would still take him over Frans Botha.

Hopefully this line will be super cheap, Holyfield Easy win!  

Wasn't Botha involved in a really good fight once?  I can't remember who it was against, and it was definitely a long time ago, but I recall him being in a fight-of-the-year type fight.  Am I thinking of someone else, or was it him?  You're welcome for the great description.

Is Holyfield financially desperate or something?? Why would he take this fight? Sorry if I am totally misinformed about the situation...

 

If Holyfield wins, he's the mandatory for Shannon Briggs.

Which won't happen because Briggs would have to fight out of the U.S since Holyfield is banned from the U.S.  (NYS barred him in '05 after the Donald Fight) and now every state is using the NYS law against him.

His last fight was against Lou Saverese in Texas, since then it's been overseas.. where he got robbed against Valuev.

Sad state of boxing in the heavy weight division..  

Holyfield is financially desperate, many of his homes were foreclosed on, his car businesses went under, he has MANY kids, married 3 times...

He made 600,000 K fighting and in everyone's eyes beating Valuev.. but got robbed.. He needs the money.

Sad for him, he has the best boxing resume I've ever seen this man has fought everyone in their prime... in the heavy weight division.. while only being a Cruiser Weight by nature :)
