This was the fight that the 40-year-old Holyfield should have realized the gig is up. He had slowed a lot and was not prepared to go to war, except for the odd flurry. Byrd realized this by R2 and showed him no respect after that. Ironically, this was the last win for Byrd against a 'name' fighter, but he looked good only because Holyfield was old and slow. Holyfield was never hurt and had energy at the end, but too little to late. I have it 117-111 Byrd, with Holy winning only 1,11 and 12.
@magellanphone Yeah it didn't look like Moorer was in the best condition. He started well though. Manny Stewart said the last real fight MM was in was that first Holyfield bout.
@magellanphone Byrd was in good form here. MM beat holy on a night holy tore his shoulder and had heart/breathing problems, they found his left ventrical had a alignment...a 35 year old holy knocked mm down 5 times in the rematch. i respect the record books show byrd won...if i fought marvin haglar today the book would show i won the fight lol. just my opin mate
@Excecutioner147 Both fighters were past their prime at this point. Holyfield had problems with MM who was not anywhere near byrds level. the onlything we do know is when they fought byrd won
@magellanphone a prime holyfield was alot quicker and much more busy then this version byrd beats...prime holy would have just mad byrd a sparring partner.....i like byrd, good boxer nice fella but no way in the same league as a holyfield

@evol121 I think a prime Byrd Clowns on a prime Holyfield. Byrd is an all time great. He fought usually 35 lbs lighter than mmost of his foes

If Byrd had more power Holyfield was ready to go in round 11...

@dion1262 They were always arguing. It's better than Tesatore and some other guy nodding to each other.
