I've backed Evander to stop Nielsen at 5/6. Nielsen hasn't fought since 2002

I wouldn't touch this with a barge pole, you've got Holyfield who looked shockingly bad against 'Sherman Williams' up against a man who hasn't fought for 9 years.

If I was having a bet I'd be on the fight not going the distance @ 4/7

Holyfield did look bad against Williams, but Neilson is old, slow and not that awkard. Holyfield has never looked great against small heavyweights.

Holyfield should win this inside the distance.

Age finally caught up with evander to the extent he for the first time seemed to quit. Williams beat him fair and square and was robbed

And Nielsen isn't finished? I will take the ultra shot version of Evander against a 60 year old looking Nielsen who hasn't fought in 9 years and was never anything to start with.

This is Brian Nielsen today

How is this allowed? And pay per view? If you pay to view this then you don't love boxing and if you bet on it well - I'm too angry.

The PPV costs £60 (normal price for PPV here)...

Nielsen have trained in Germany with Enad Licena and Sebastian Sylvester, and weighed in at a career low 238 yesterday :o

I think that this fight actually might be worth a bet simply based on the fact it's so unpredictable.

Like, the bookies usually have the odds dialed in really tight. They know what they're doing. But how can anyone possibly know what they're doing in this fight?

The key, I think, would be some kind of inside info from the Neilsen camp. We all know, roughly, what Holyfield's going to be like, but if Neilsen is taking it seriously and mentally up for it, he would really, really be worth a pop. If he's just treating it as an exhibition match, or has been persuaded by the money and isn't really that interested, then Holyfield should win.

Maybe some of you have contacts with Danes who might know?

Anyway, I think it's the sort of match where the bookies could be beaten big.

Nielsens condition is great, probably much better than Holyfields but Nielsen hasnt got his old timing. The ones that have seen them both train says that the longer the fight the more of a chance Nielsen has.
I have placed a small bet on Nielsen at odds 5.4

Nielsen hurt again in the 4th, Holyfield just sparring with him, Nielsen wants to lay back on the ropes and do very little, outgunned. Round 6 coming up.

Nielsen actually outworked Holy in the 6th, landed two decent rights. Commentator went 'YEEEEEEEARGH!!!!' when he landed, obviously a professional and impartial broadcaster.

Another round off for Holyfield, strange. He better be careful, they will score as much for Nielsen as possible. Don't know what he's doing.

Holyfield stops Nielsen in 10! cornered, going down, but looked a little premature. Annoying.

Crowd hate it. Nielsen a mess.
