WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, West Virginia (January 22, 2011)
Evander Holyfield: ?I?m very disappointed. He fought the way he should have. He understood he would have his head low when he threw the overhand right. If I didn?t move back, we?d clash heads. It was to his advantage to get lower because he?s short. Being that short he had to fight that fight. He didn?t have to, he chose to.?
?Stuff like this happens and I?ll shake it off. Hopefully, I?ll get this stitched up and it won?t be a problem. Life goes on, it?s part of boxing.?
Sherman Williams: ?I?ve had my own personal setbacks. To get over what I did was a miracle. I trained hard for this fight. I was fighting a legend and I can?t take anything away from him. I feel like I should have won by TKO. I cut him with an overhand right, but I respect him.?
?I root for him. He?s almost 50 and still training and performing. I admire what he?s done but it?s time to let younger guys fight and older guys do television commentary. He?s not as good looking as I am. You?ve made sacrifices, won 4 world championships and fought in the Olympics. But this is a new time, a new era. Mr. Holyfield shouldn?t be taking punches from younger guys. That?s how I feel. It?s time for him to move on but, if he wants, we can do it again.?
?After the first round he was falling into my trap. When he felt I was in retreat?bang with the overhand right, and that?s when I saw blood.?
