Was sure as death and taxes ... unlike the tricky southpaw Byrd ... the styles in this Toney fite had Holyfield gimme written all over it - and a mea culpa to that error in judgement.
And how about Casamayor busting up Corrales in six stanzas ... gimme a break ... agreed, Casa baby is a polished pro ... but have never seen him as a slickster ... nor especially quick ... so my pick was Corrales on size, reach, and assumed advantage in power department.
Wrong again ... maybe my Corrales choice was a matter of looking for vitals in all the wrong places - or something - so, along with the first mea culpa, I now offer up a second with a maxima tag attached.
Good news: Casamayor and Toney will now be seen as reborn - Bad news: will also be available while carrying a PPV price tag.
Semper fi,
GEL
My heart goes out to the "Real Deal" Holyfield ... only answer I have is he simply went to the well once too often - to be dropped and stopped by body punch in 9th stanza speaks volumes.
