Holyfield Stops Botha To Capture WBF Championship |

From Bob Trieger
Full Court Press
LAS VEGAS - April 10 - Hall of Fame-bound Eander “The Real Deal” Holyield added the World Boxing Federation
heavyweight title belt to his overcrowded trophy case, stopping defending champion Frans “The White Buffalo" Botha in the 8th round last night in the main event on “The Legend Returns” card, promoted by Crown Boxing, at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Botha (47-5-3, 28 KOs) came out throwing bombs for the first five rounds, buzzing Holyfield (43-10-2, 27 KOs) a few times. Holyfield came on strong at the end of the fifth, taking full control of the fight in the sixth and seventh by throwing letting his hands go and throwing effective combinations.
In the eighth round, Holyfield dropped Botha with a right hand and when a damaged Botha got to his feet, Evander overwhelmed his South African opponent until referee Russell Mora called an end to the fight.
“He is a very good defensive fighter,” Holyfield said after the fight. “He’s a smart fighter, too. His right hand had a lot of power and he’s also a very quick big man. I gave myself a 7. I can get better. I’d been off a long time and I know I can get better. I want to come back very soon.”
“Evander is a great fighter,” Botha remarked. “He capitalized on my mistakes. I thought I had him going early. I have to go home and sit down with my team. Who knows (about his future plans)? We’ll see how he goes forward.” |

From Yahya McCain
Absoloot Boxing Gym
ATLANTA - After a 10-year lay off, former World Boxing Union Super Cruiserweight world champion Yahya McClain decides he's not quite done just yet. That's right, he's back.
On Dec 4, 2009, McClain began his comeback by knocking out a very game and tough Shane Steel via a third-round TKO.
Then McClain turned right around and fought again only a few weeks later on Jan 23, 2010. McClain was taken the distance but completely dominated out-classed Leo Bercier over six rounds and won a unanimous decision.
