Taktarov comments on Holyfield's defeat

MMA veteran Oleg Taktarov commented on Evander Holyfield's loss to Vitor Belfort during a live Instagram broadcast.

"He came out as a substitute and probably didn't watch any of Vitor Belfort's fights - he was told it was an MMA fighter, and he waved so, like, we'd figure it out there. Also, Vitor is a southpaw, and Holyfield has always had some problems with left-handed fighters. He would have recovered if he had been allowed to survive till the second round and would have become Holyfield, even though he was 58. But he could not live to fight another day, he had to grow old too, but they are getting old very fast, forty years old he is a walking invalid, but Holyfield was in good shape. Belfort prepared for Oscar De La Hoya seriously, that's for sure, and the fact that Holyfield came out like that, it's sad, of course. Plus the body has a certain resource."
