It's matches like these are the reason Riddick Bowe appears to have some kind of mild brain damage... helluva chin, he deserves props for that, but all the vicious blows he took from HEAVYWEIGHT boxers took its toll. Just look at Ali too.
The Golota fights were the icing on the cake... Bowe prevailed (because Golota is an idiot) but his he took such a beating no human brain can recover from. I can't believe Riddick's corner didn't stop the second fight, seriously.
Fuck me sideways. Now this is what you call a true heavyweight fight. Bowe had such an incredible inside game, yet Holyfield at times was beating him at it. Holyfield is an all time great heavyweight, and this trilogy just proves how big his heart was.
That was one hell of a fight.Both guys fought a great fight but on this night Holyfield was just a little better...and arguably the best fight Holyfield ever fought.. def. one of the best trilogies in the sport
@IOwnYouClown If Tyson really wanted to prove himself he should have fought Bowe. Even though no one knows who would win we all know it would be an easy night for anyone.
Dont you love that people can throw anything out there they want like steriod use without a shred of proof like they are someone important rather than the nothing that they prove they are by doing that
@bobber0623 LOL to quote roger mayweather "most people dont know shit about boxing" for some one to say that is disrespecting the man and the warrrior evander holyfield was and still is
@Szekler11 C'mon man...Bowe on Steroids? When has Bowe ever had a body like he was on steroids..Bowe has never had a ripped physique. The man was 246 lbs of flab for this fight....Let's keep it real here man...
@Szekler11 Well I agree with lazy fighters taking shortcuts but Bowe on steroids is a little far fetched... We've seen fighters in the past that were either rumored, tested positive or admitted to using steroids and each of them had hard solid if not suspicious looking physiques.....Saying Bowe used steroids is like saying Larry Holmes used steroids in all of his post Tyson fights. Their bodies were quite similar in build; toned but soft....
Bowe's corner (and Bowe himself, actually) were an embarassment to human behavior. They were literally THE definition of "thugs".
With Bowe's clique around there was almost always some ridiculous, idiotic confrontation. Just a bunch of self-proclaimed hardasses. I have no idea why they were allowed to continue to be cornermen.
Guy later committed suicide if I remember correctly.. no surprise anybody with the means to do something like that .. and the will to do it, would be crazy enough to kill themselves
I remember this match as one of the best of all times. If Bowe would have had a little bit of diciplin and maybe a good trainer, he could have been a dangerous champ, as he was in the first fight between these two. But sadly, we all know how that story ended. Holyfield, one of the all times greatest.
@EvanderHolyfield7 Better trainer, I didnt nescassary meant he wasent qualified in any ways, but just, you know, as FSMNoodlyAppendages wrote below... He couldnt handle Bowe, even Bowe couldnt handle himself :)
4:39 those punches sounded like gunshots ! ;))) yea, im funny

@bobshenix - apparently Bowe used to dehydrate during training. This makes the damage from sparring and fighting much worse.
