Is it true?

Post by stujones »

That Emmanuel Stewart is going to be in charge of Evander Holyfield from now on. Its probably too late but it might help provent Holyfield from futher damage. Don Turner is a great coach and it was brilliant how he helped adapt Holyfield when he started to feel the pace of fights. The headbutt was being used more often and Holyfield would tend to clinch more.

It seemed in his last few fights that Holyfield tried to throw as many punches as he could and just punch himself out. He didn't clinch as much vs Toney and his punches lost all their snap after the first round.

Do you think, if rumours are true, Stewart can alter Holyfield - or is completely over for him (which I believe is the case). Stewart has had a good history when dealing with aging fighters (Andries, Hearns, Lewis) can he help Evander - or do you think he should even refuse the job.

I read somewhere that stewart has turned down the offer.

In my opinion, Steward would help Holyfield in his quest to receive that all-elusive brain damage.

AS KOJOE states, I believe Steward has distanced himself from Holyfield. Full credit to Emanuel on this one.
