Well, that was pretty ugly, just as so many people feared it would be. The sight of 44 year old MMA legend Vitor Belfort taking out living legend Evander Holyfield in a little over a minute-and-a-half was also incredibly sad for all the millions of “Real Deal” fans who recall the epic nights this once-great fighter gave us at both cruiserweight and heavyweight.
Vitor Belfort may have finished off the career of former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield in destroying him by a first round knockout on Saturday night in their main event on Triller PPV at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Floria.
Mike Tyson, along with Roy Jones, started the currently all-consuming, polarizing big-fight exhibition trend, so it’s no real surprise “Iron Mike” is interested to see what will happen when Evander Holyfield attempts to step back in time as he fights Vitor Belfort in Miami, Florida.
Just when you thought this Saturday’s much-maligned heavyweight clash between 58-year-old Evander Holyfield and MMA legend Vitor Belfort could not get any crazier, it has.
Another two straws were placed on the camel’s back, with the camel representing the sport of boxing obviously. With the recent news heading into this weekend’s fight schedule, long-time followers of the sweet science are left scratching their heads in almost awe.
Promoter Bob Arum is irate about the Florida Commission giving 58-year-old Evander Holyfield permission to fight this Saturday night in an eight round fight against Vitor Belfort in a boxing match on Triller PPV.
Due partially to his glacially slow performance at a recent open work-out, due in another big part to his age, plenty of Evander Holyfield fans, along with fight fans and boxing supporters in general, are a little uncomfortable right now.
