So why do I like Evander?

So Why Evander?

Well after the fight, I knew he still was good, and the world knew he was still good. He just beat Mike Tyson for the Heavyweight Chapmionship (and this was no fluke, like the Douglas-Tyson fight.) He was dominant in the fight, but afterwards, he wasn't arrogant at all. He shocked me a second time that night, but this one really stuck. He just beat someone that was supposedly 'unstoppable,' but instead of being cocky, he was humble. Mike Tyson was virtually invincible in the '80s. This was a huge feat to beat him like that. But all Evander kept doing was praising and thanking the Lord for allowing him to win. No 'I'm the best' type comments, that so many athletes resort to nowadays. The interviewer kept trying to make Holyfield say something cocky or to draw some contreversy, but Evander was too smart. He was sincere with what he was saying. He was very sportsmanlike, and I have so much respect for him because of this. I only wish that I can be as humble if I achieve something on such a grand scale.
