‘The Real Deal’ Evander Holyfield suffered an embarrassing loss Saturday as he was knocked out by Vitor Belfort in the very first round. After the fight concluded, Fight Hub TV caught up with the boxing Hall of Famer who stated that his disapproval of what he deemed a ‘premature stoppage’. Evander Holyfield ‘exposed’ his fight against Belfort.
However, Holyfield was slurring his words severely, sounding out of it and delusional. He former Heavyweight champion of the world did state that Belfort was ‘very aggressive’ in his outing and would additionally say that he would like ‘like to get back in the ring’ with the former UFC star. After tonight’s performance, it’s unclear whether or not we will ever see Evander Holyfield fight in the squared circle ever again.
Over on the boxing subreddit, combat sports fans are voicing their concern after Holyfield’s performance this weekend. One user named Finnsanity7 stated: “This man was a legend, and while I’m sure he made a lot of money. This should have been an exhibition if it needed to exist at all. The same can be said for Tito Ortiz, who is 12 years Holyfield’s junior. But, he was fighting someone who is naturally smaller, has had a bad run in the UFC recently and is also a similar age.”
The user continued: “Physiologically, a 44 year old vs a 58 year old are in vast different stages eithers body is in. One is holding on to youth through enhanced pharmacology and while the other is doing the same…so many other factors cannot be healed by hormones.”
