Four-time former world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield (40-8-2, 26 KOs) won a slow-paced twelve round unanimous decision over Fres Oquendo (26-4, 16 KOs) Friday night at the Alamodome in San Antonio. Holyfield thrilled the huge crowd when he dropped Oquendo with a big right hand early in round one, however he didn't follow up and Fres cracked him with a hard shot at the end of the round. Oquendo's awkward workmanlike style was able to dictate the tempo of the fight until Evander hurt him with some punches on the beltline in the sixth. Holyfield had another good round in the seventh and went on to squeak out a 116-111, 114-113, 114-113 win.
