I know no one cares about boxing...

This past saturday there was a horrible PPV set up by Don King to showcase his title holders. King owns two of the three heavyweight "champions". So he set up a night of heavyweights with both "champs" fighting and 2 other heavyweight bouts. The fights were horrible, it was even comical and sad. Sad was the opening fight with Evander Holyfield at 42 years old losing a shut out to a guy who isnt even ranked by anyone and is also in his 40's. Holyfield got beat up and beat often. In his last 9 fights holyfield has won only 2. One win was against John Ruiz which was very close, the other was a technical win over Rahman after a headbutt, Rahmans head grew another head.

People have been begging Holyfield to retire for years now, he's obviously slurring his speech now, and is just not as sharp as he used to be,it's really sad especially someone who did so much for the sport and who had such an amazing career.

Holyfield said he would continue to fight and finally after years of begging the NYS athelitc commision is making the decision for him and has barred him from boxing in NY and every other commision in the states has said they would honor NY's decision and also bar Holyfield from getting a license in any state.

Ofcourse he can go overseas and fight but maybe this will convince him to finally just retire. Ofcourse he said he will find a way to continue even after this, it's just pathetic and sad to have seen a legend fall like that and not wanna give up.
