Boxing Fight - Time to bet on your favorite
Evander Holyfield boxing with Lou Savarese on the 30th
The 44-year-old Holyfield is facing Lou Savarese on Saturday night at the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas. At 41 years old, Savarese is another old man trying to get in a few more fights before being put out to pasture. Holyfield enters the bout with a lifetime 41-8-2 boxing record that includes 27 knockouts, while Savarese is 46-6 with 38 KOs. Holyfield is a huge -1000 betting favorite in the fight, and when you examine his and Savarese's boxing careers side by side it isn't hard to see why. Stacking up Holyfield's major wins would be like stacking up a list of Savarese's major losses in his career. Savarese is a +500 underdog in the fight and unless he gets a few good punches through Holyfield's aging defensive reflexes, he'll likely end up being simply a stepping stone for Holyfield on the way to his coveted heavyweight title fight.
