Before the knockout I wrote…
Evander Holyfield is fighting South African Francois Botha for the heavyweight championship of the world. This is Evander’s 5th attempt to capture a Heavy Weight Title. He has already done what no other heavyweight has ever done by earning 4 heavy weight world titles. At the age of 47 how on earth will Holyfield be able to last in a 12 round bout?
As I watch this fight I’m praying that it wont be like a lot of the other dinosaur heavyweights trying to make a comeback. But as I write it looks like in round 7 Botha has lost his steam while Holyfield is beginning to connect with some amazing shots.
Does Holyfield have an unfair advantage by taking the MaxGXL product? Does he have enough to finish the overweight White Buffalo?
Yes he does! The ref stopped the fight in round 8 and Holyfield and MaxGXL are at the top of their game! Buy MaxGXL now!
