Storybook Ending for Holyfield

Instead of spending $50 for the Tyson-Holyfield fight, I rented the film “The Harder They Fall,” which is the story of a boxer, who, with the help of a shady promoter, beats up and knocks out stiffs before finally fighting a real fighter and getting knocked out. Does that ring a bell?

No way, Jose. The fix was in. Holyfield has never had a punch and always gets beaten up. Tyson never lets an opponent tie him up and always fights in a rage.

Boxing isn’t like football, where on a given day any team can beat any other. Sure, there are upsets. But I’m not buying this one--and thankfully, I didn’t.
