Holyfield survives knockdown before battering Cooper

Holyfield landed about 20 blows to the head of a seemingly defenseless Cooper be-for"e referee Mills Lane stepped in to stop it at 2: 58 of the seventh round.
Cooper, a 32-1 underdog, wasn't expected to 1 give Holyfield much of a fight, but the journeyman who look the bout on a week's notice ended up giving the champion the toughest fight of his professional career.
Cooper was bleeding from the mouth and a cut over his right eye and offered no resistance when Lane moved in to stop the fight after a series of punches, including a halfdozen crunching right upper-
"He was in bad shape. He was in really bad shape." Lane said.
A Cooper cornerman rushed over to the referee and said, "Thanks, Mills" for stopping the bout.
The end came after a brutal and intense fight in which Cooper far surpassed the expectations most had of him as a stand-in who had taken the fight on a week's notice. Both fighters went down, with Cooper going down from a left hook to the midsection In the first round and Holyfield taking an 8-count after Cooper connected with two smashing right hands in the third.
"I wasn't hurt badly," Holyfield said." He hit me with a good shot. ... I had everything together, but when you get hit with a good shot, it's"Being in good condition is when you get hit with a good shot and come back.”
Holyfield never actually fell to the canvas, but was draped in the ropes as Lane gave him as 8-count. When the action resumed, Holy field appeared unsure of himself while Cooper bombed away. Holyfield managed to stay on his feet and last the remainder of the round.
"He didn't give up," Holyfield said. 'I give him a lot of crediL'
Cooper, trying to pull an upset similar to James "Buster" Douglas' shocking defeat of Mike Tyson 21 months ago, pressed the fight throughout and landed effectively with left hooks to the body and rights to the head.

"1 was in shape, I felt good." said Cooper, whose cuts left his corner of the ring a bloody mess. "I know I hurt him."
Holyfield was defending two-thirds of the undisputed title he won by knocking Douglas out 13 months ago. It was the second defense for Holyfield, who had gone 217 days since he defended the title against George foreman. It was his longest layoff as a pro.
Holyfield, 27-0 with 22 knockouts, had been schcd: tiled to fight Tyson on Nov. 8 in a widely anticipated bout that would have been boxing's richest ever and would have earned him a minimum purse of dlrs 30 million.
But Tyson suffered a rib injury three weeks before the fight and Holyfield then signed to fight Francesco Damiani in a bout before his hometown fans in Atlanta.
Damiani, however, turned an ankle a week ago, and Cooper, a journeyman who had been stopped previously by three top 10 fighters, became the most unlikely replacement.

Arid he almost gained it all.
