I voted for option B. My scorecard was 7-5, 115-112. I did include the knockdown, as I always score as an official would, acknowledging the ref's call. It was a perfectly legitimate shot to the side of the head, in any case.

It was competitive, but Bowe deservedly had it in the bag (on the scorecards) before the final stanza rolled around. Their 1993 rematch was quite a bit closer.

I had it for Bowe as well. I can not recall what my score card was, but I think it was
116 (maybe 117) - 112 for Bowe.

I love this fight, but Holyfield should have stuck to his game plan as he was
executing it in round 1. Thereafter he tried brawling and slugging with one
big, in shape Bowe.

I love this fight.

I can't remember how I scored it although there was no question at the end who the winner was. Evander got beaten up very bad in the latter part of the fight so there's no way the judges could get past it.
