Evan Field wins decision over Lou Savarese
June 30, 2007 by William K. Wolfrum
Evan Field, who boxes and dances under the name Evander Holyfield, won a lopsided 10-round decision over a game Lou Savarese on Saturday.
The fight was more action-packed than many would have imagined, as Field showed more energy than the average 44 year old. Field knocked Savarese down in the fifth and ninth rounds, and Savarese held on for dear life until the final bell.
Savarese had his best moment in round three, when he rocked Field with a solid right. Unable to shake off his inherent Lou Savarese-ness, however, Savarese was unable to follow up on the shot.
Nonetheless, the performance was one of the best for Savarese, 41, since the early 1990s, when he nearly attained fringe contender status. Still, he was unable to overcome Field’s accurate head butts and occasional combinations.
Following the bout, Field said he planned to continue his quest at winning the undisputed heavyweight crown, as well as continue to preach the word of the Lord while lying about not taking performance-enhancing drugs and perhaps having a few more children out of wedlock.

Holyfield is probably sensible to lie about any drug taking he may be doing. If not, he’d be putting himself at a disadvantage against may other fighters.
In the same way, Stallone ‘lied’ about his GH taking in all press statements, but to the arresting officer he told the truth (“how do you figure I am going to do John Rambo and be really physical and look bigger than in I was Rocky VI, without this?) and he told the truth to the judge as well. Pragmatism, to show it was for personal use.
All athletes are professinal in every way. Don’t hold it against Holyfield in particular. If you want to give credit to the few clean guys, that’s maybe a fine thing.
