It was supposed to be a junior middleweight fight as part of the undercard to Canelo Alvarez’s bout with Sergey Kovalev. According to CBS Sports, the fight was at a catchweight because Winstead didn’t meet the 154-pound limit.
Holyfield landed several shots on Winstead early in the fight and finished with a strong left hook which led the referee to call the fight.
