Holyfield tried to paw his jab in the early going but his efforts were noticeably labored. It didn’t come as a surprise considering Holyfield’s media workout earlier this week, but fight fans were hoping for more. Belfort waited to pounce and scored a significant knockdown with a nice uppercut. Holyfield returned to his feet and the former UFC fighter clobbered him until the referee waved it off.
