13. Riddick Bowe vs. Evander Holyfield
Holyfield was a superstar at this point. Yet he didn’t count on the threat of Bowe, who was excellent at nullifying all his usual tactics. Usually, Holyfield stayed on the outside, outworking heavier opponents. But Riddick’s outstanding jab kept him at bay.

It looked like Riddick had won in the 11th round when an uppercut-left hand combo rocked the champion. But then Holyfield turned the tide and put a savage battering on the challenger. It was an epic round, but too little, too late for Holyfield as Bowe held on for the decision.
