The last great 15 round war. Qawi was on the downhill of his career and evader was on the way up. Qawi is so underrated. Props to your channel for keeping the old fighters legacies alive.
❤
Qawi Camden legend 💯
Dwight Muhammad Qavi is a OG warrior. He is a legend. He is no joke
Dwight Qawi is a legend💪
Obviously
Sur
Saad Muhammad seemed really afraid of him. The 2 bouts were terrible beatings.
Being an ex fighter myself from Camden NJ.,home of Qawi Braxton.
He was an inspiration for me during those days .I used to get up @5am to go running and had the pleasure of meeting him at cooper river park where most fighters ran the 5.2 miles around the park,that's where I met him ,also met Rocky lockridge who defeated Roger Mayweather to capture the title in the featherweight division.Good times.great memories.
Whoo!
Pound for Pound one of the greatest fights ever
Indeed.
Quawi was shaking off Hollyfield's punches like he was getting hit with a feather duster..
Yeah. But second fight, he met an even hungrier Holyfield who just destroyed him.
I never get tired of watching these two boxers, for years and years
This fight ranks within one of the top ten greatest fights, preserved on film, of all time in any division, not just the cruiserweight division.
This is a really great fighr, an all-time great fight, probably the best cruiserweight fight ever. The Cruiserweight limit at this time was 190 pounds, about the same weight as most heavyweights were up until about the late 1950s. So Holyfield and Qawi were big enough to hit very hard but also fast, athletic, and able to fight at a great pace for a full 15 rounds. Yes a real gem from the past.
Man today's boxers would have veen destroyed from a fight like this. Just look at the sheer amount of punchers the two fighters took
Qwai is a true legend a real champion a BEAST
Big fan of Holyfield. Never heard of Qawi. Thanks. I am barely 30.
same for me,......but older than you
You will never see a fight like that again unbeatable both men so fit
Man !!!!!
Both are warriors!!!!
By the way “Qawi” in Arabic means strong !!
He was really strong
Yeah
One of the GREATEST FIGHTS OF ALL TIME!!!!
5:23 qawi entered the matrix🔥
What an amazing fight... thanks for posting
forgot all about this fight. thanks for posting...
No wonder boxing is one of the roughest and toughest sports in the world like bro going all 12 rounds isn’t easy at all, u gotta put your soul and body in that fight…
This fight was 15 rounds
I saw Holyfield take more solid, full blown power punches in this fight than I've seen anyone else take and not go down. That juice goes a long way.
Juice don't put muscles on your chin. Jealousy is a female trait.
@@augustusmaximus891they propably don't mean steroids, probs just like Holyfield has a large stamina tank and juice as the fuel in that tank.
exactly bruh these casuals be going wild
Thank you 🥊🥊🥊
Qawi 5'5 foot dynamo.
Please make a detail video on Qawi's background and about his boxing career and where is he now like you made on other great boxers. Love this channel. ❤
So height isn't always a dominant factor when it comes to fighting.
Watch Qawi (in this clip) beat Saad Muhammad soundly in two fights. Saad seemed so afraid in those fights.
Height is often a detrimental asset in fights. Strength speed and weight are more significant aspects. Height just so happens to correlate with weight most of the time and so does Strength. But these things are changeable.
Only if you make it! Both have advantages and disadvantages. Bigger the person, averagely more power when using body mass behind punches but less mobility and sloppy footwork and wind… Top heavyweight boxers are 5 footers like Him, Mike, Rocky Marciano, Tommy burns, Sam Langford, James lights out Toney, butterbean, Roy jones, Archie Moore…. Just improving power, speed, strength, endurance and importantly skills will take you far
And confidence and willpower
mostly wit heavyweights
💪 Awesome video thanks 🖤
Qawi was the hardest puncher in business for his weight. This match should have been declared a draw. Both were great worriers.
2 Warriors
Damn Qawi life is something else man his upbringing
all respect to this man🫡
Awesome figth with two great champions !
the legendary era of boxing!
great job 🔥🔥🔥
I miss watching boxing on the Wide World of Sports growing up in the 70s/80s.
This is the fight that let me know the heart and chin that Holyfield had
Qawi is a legend
Classic Fight Dwight was Nice
Pretty good fight. No hugging, just punching. Lose a pound a round. I need to go about 40 rounds. Damn thyroid.
Thanks for watching!
Your likes, comments, and reposts are the greatest form of gratitude for us!
Good stuff 😁✊🏼😎.
Thanks 4 the posts
Braxton always reminded me of frazier he was a bad man but he beat my favorite light heavy Matthew Franklin so I didn't like him.
Can u make a full biography of muhammad qawi
Great fightwith Qawi who also had a great against Mike Spinks. Holyfield vs Mike Spinks was one they should have had but didn't. I think I'd go for Holyfield.
Outta do a full one on kowie. Such awesome fighters.🐸🍺🔪🔥
What a battle two brave warriors out on the kanvas
That was a fight.
Imagine having powerful blow that the referee disqualified you
Pode colocar dois lutadores que por esse combate viraram lendas do boxe
❤❤Enjoyed
big respect to qavi
Lou duva wasn’t the legendary trainer George Benton was the mastermind trainer, these boxing channels have to get their facts right. People need credit for the hard work they put in.
Ooh imagine a prime Mike Vs Evanjuicer, he looks like a tall & very broad shouldered SuperMiddleweight
y'all fanboys forgot Douglas was tuneup for a signed holyfeild/Tyson fight
@@musicandboxing7370 Man, you st00ped! Nobody here said anything about a fan boy of anyone and Holly was found to be juicing. Where are you confused?
@@musicandboxing7370and yall Tyson haters forget he partied with Bobby Brown all night before the fight and he neglected his training. Buster came in the best shape of his career. If Evander had this much trouble from Qawi in the 80s Tyson would had merced him. Don't get me wrong Evander was a bad Mutha fucker but he wasn't ready for Tyson in the 80s
I’m just gonna say what everyone knows but won’t admit. Evander NEVER DID ROIDS!
That sports era was rough and tough across the board.
Qawi underestimated the toughness of Evander. Qawi felt his experience would give him the edge over Evander.
2:39 thought that was Paddy McGuinness lol
Qawi's chin looks ridiculous
Why was the punch illegal, i ask before even viewing it and listening to it where it’s at in the clip.
That first fight that ended on a d.q for Holyfield was b.s
Que carajo comían esa gente antes, DUOS MIO QUE CLASE DE PELEA
Grabe ang layo na maxado ng caliber ng mga boxer today kesa noon ang titibay tlga nila
EVANDER'S "CLAIM TO FAME!!!"
Yeah. He's indeed Qawi wish mean strong in Arabic language. Punch from the first minute to the last minute. Our generations have missed a lot... I have just heard of Qawi today in 2024... didn't know a boxer like that existed 😂😂
Qawi said that Holyfield was on steroids.
yes because he was
He was
DAYUMNNNN 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Rocky Marciano was the same weight as these guys most of the original og's too I'd give the edge to Rocky someone needs to invent a holodeck
DIOS MIO
Qavi should have won that match. Altho Holyfield gave a good showing, he didn't beat him decidedly.
So 15 pounds lost that’s a lot in one fight
How do you knockout them dudes?
Secondo la mia esperienza di 27 anni di carriera, pur se mestierante, e, quindi, a livelli neanche paragonabili a questi che TheWorldofBoxing ci ha proposto, aggiungo interessantissimi, la prima virtù, la prima dote che deve avere un atleta per poter praticare questo bellissimo sport che è la boxe, ripeto che deve avere, è un grande senso dell'equilibrio, se il tuo boxiere si accorgesse che sei un ragazzo con poco equilibrio ti dovrebbe subito dire di sceglierti un altro sport. Il pugile è, quindi, anche e ancor prima un funàmbolo, e un gatto che cade sempre in piedi.
Hollyfeild,.top 3.all.time
💥💥💥💥💥💥
Bro lost 15lbs in a fight 😭
Skin shift Deji vimmaculate drip
0:25 that was str8 BS and everybody knew it
The picture color are different from the original. Thumbs down 👎
I don’t believe he lost 15 lbs in 45 mins
Screw my head back when you done talking
Woooow I never new Holyfield got robbed like that in the Olympics
He don’t stand a chance a Muay Thai who kick trees as part of training lol 😂. If I was a boxer maybe I should trees too 😂
Evander was ripped off in the Olympics, he took it like a man, but it’s not right!
Man, this guy fought much better than Tyson.
15 lbs!!!!!!!
🤜🤛
first time i ever heard of qawi???
Qawi ㅡislam
Hollyfield ㅡ??
Yall commentators are so amateurish! Really! Oh Qawi never walk forward without throwing a punch. Bullsht!😅 i just watched him move forward without throwing a single punch 👊
Promo sm
Bro where’s the Terence Crawford Vs Errol Spence video you only show love to the older boxers
Qawi is clearly at a disadvantage when it comes to reach, an obvious observation. Evander can’t have been that great or Qawi is the good one. Didn’t detail study it, i boxed some in my youth but i’m no expert.
Aoooo boring …back to mua thai
Qawi can smesh heavyweights these days
Qwai WON THAT FIGHT WTF HE TOOK A KNEE QWAI DID NOT
Great shit!!! CMD 🫡
