I'm going with Holyfield-age 58 or not; 10 year layoff or not. Muscle memory prevails ! Decision. But, I wouldn't pay a dime for this.
as much as it is a terrible terrible fight, picking a winner is a bit interesting. Cant say i agree with you here. he is in pretty good shape looks wise but on the pads he looked legitimately frail. the difference bettwen 58 and 44 is massive.
Holyfeilds boxing ability and tallent are 1000x that of belforts, but knowing what do do and getting your 58 year old body to do it are very different things.

Re: Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort - September 11, 2021
It's official. Since Vitor handled Holyfield so easily just imagine what he would have done to Bowe and Tyson. As a matter of fact he still can do things to those guys if Triller will let him.

I’ve always been convinced that Belfort had the capability to batter Holyfield in one-sided fashion, but was hoping to see a safe gentle body-spar exhibition.
So I’m really disappointed.
I also thought the Tito Ortiz knockout was really scary - quite vicious!
Some of the novelty celebrity fights between the young guys have been fun, but Triller have crossed the line!
I just think that eventually someone is going to get hurt really badly.
I’m not sure what else to say really, without stating the obvious.

That was embarrassing. I was hoping, that Holy would be enough of an iron man to look good at his late 50s, but nature won.
Hopefully such stuff won't get sanctioned ever again.

Yea this card has really crossed lines.
-That tito KO was bad, mabey the most brutal KO iv seen in boxing in a few years (not the most brutal shots, just the way he went down though). Got absolutely knocked out with that little right hook. then copped 2 more while sleeping against the ropes (luckily that one going at the back of his head missed). Tito looked dreadfull,
Evanders Body looks good in a photo, but in video when you see it move looks like it has more place in an old folks home than a boxing ring. Thank fornicate it ended in an unanswered flurry of mainly missing shots rather than him actualy getting one big shot, or a prolonged effective beating. sickening to watch.
-Hayes fight was just mates playing..

50 cent was commentating during the Haye fight.
Mid rounds, they just showed the commentators. All they were doing was pouring glasses of wine and still bugging up Triller.

Tyson himself said when you get old, you can still get in great cardio, look great, hit the bags and train, but you just can't take the shots anymore and the reflexes aren't there.
I'm about Holy's age and we are both in excellent condition, but if today's Tony1244 boxed the 1980 or 1990 Tony1244, it would be KO 1 too.

Holy didn't appear to be hit too solidly. Eventually he was going to be hit solidly. This ain't golf and a señor tour.

They have never faced each other.

I heard Wilfredo Benitez is in a wheelchair. How about Wilfredo vs an 8 year old girl?
