Back for more After the first fiasco, Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis have agreed to another fight on Nov. 13 in Nevada. Both came to the press confer- ence full of excuses for the last match. Holyfield claims he was not feeling well before the fight and actually contemplated not fighting. Lewis was still complaining about the judging in the last fight. “The judging was suspect,” he said. “I believe there was some influence there.” Well, of course there was some influence. This is boxing. It’s as fake as professional wrestling. Anyways, the two have agreed to fight again to unify the IBF, WBA and WBC title belts. “All we want in the state of Nevada is the man who wins the David Pump / Staff photographer fight in the ring to get the decision,” Central Michigan University’s running back Eric Flowers attempts to break through Eastern’s defensive line. Flowers rushed for three touchdowns on the day. Nevada state boxing commission’s executive director Marc Ratner said. Oh, by the way. The fight is being held on the campus of UNLV.
