Evan Holyfield, son of the legendary Evander Holyfield, came into his bout this Saturday’s TrillerVerse 5 as a -10,000 betting favorite. The 24-year-old Holyfield was 9-0 and matched up against a 6-5 journeyman, but their records and the insanely wide betting odds didn’t matter.
In the second round of their contest, journeyman Jurmain McDonald scored a sensational upset, landing a big right hand that put Holyfield out. The referee initially started counting, but waved the fight off as it was clear that Holyfield wasn’t going to beat the count and continue fighting.
It seemed like a pretty fair stoppage despite Holyfield’s protests after.
