I watched it....in 1993. I remember the parachute incident...I believe this was the second of three fights between those two fighters...if I remember correctly, Holyfield won this fight, but lost the other two. A good trio of fights, but no where near as exciting as the Frasier/Ali trilogy.

Holyfield was, in my opinion, the far better fighter overall. Bowe's height advantage was the main reason he was able to beat Holyfield twice, he was able to keep Holyfield at bay and use leverage to his advantage.
