He could barely stand after the short right knocked him down it was very similar to the punch that sent Manny
to dream land in that he was caught coming in, and wrecklessly. If Holyfield didnt have the chin he had he would have been asleep. the announcer even states how Holyfield could barely answer Joes command to come forward. You could even see it on Evanders face at the 4 30 mark he looks outta of it and he lurches forward
My question for you is why would Holyfield need or want to lay down? That shyt doesnt make any sense from any perspective. Even if he was sick as shyt to win, lose or draw wouldnt have really mattered, would it?
