Art Falcone Reboot Distressed Deal Fund as Encore Housing Opportunity - ArthurFalcone.com - ArtFalcone.com
Art Falcone, Tony Avila Reboot Distressed Deal Fund as Encore Housing Opportunity http://arthurfalcone.com - http://artfalcone.com - http://falconegroup.info Two of last decade's most vaunted deal makers in the home building space, Art Falcone and Tony Avila, are very much back, and they're together again for the first time with former PIMCO managing director Bill Powers and a $400 million private equity distressed residential investment vehicle called Encore Housing Opportunity Fund. Falcone and Avila previously hatched a $500 million vulture fund in 2008 to be a feeder for Falcone's Americrest Homes, a unit of Falcone's extensive Falcon Group of real estate ventures. That earlier incarnation may have been too early. Encore, it seems, has its timing down and, in Bill Powers, has a major league financial player on the team. "We've got eight deals done, putting $60 million of capital to work so far, four deals in Florida and four in California," says Avila, who it must be said more often than not has some involvement in nearly every home builder deal under serious discussion. Avila says the capacity of the fund is about $400 million and is designed for residential transactions across a gamut of statuses, ranging from unentitled lots and partially developed tracts to entitled lots and partially built neighborhoods. "We have the ability to partner with builders, with developers, with financial players, or even build out a community with our own home building operators," Avila says. While the first batch of deals have been in the epicenter distressed markets of Florida and California, he says Encore is looking hard at opportunities in Nevada, Arizona, Texas, the greater D.C. metro area, and the Carolinas. The lineup of personnel in Encore is an assemblage of key players from Avila's and Falcone's respective pasts, with a number of players whose prior incarnations were in Avila's group at JMP Securities until 2008 and other key executives hailing from Falcone's various real estate enterprises, including Transeastern Homes, which sold to Technical Olympic USA (TOUSA) in 2005, at the top of the market. What Avila and Falcone have typified, especially through the latter stages of the downturn, is a resilient focus on opportunism even as the end demand for new residential construction lies in the clutches of uncertainty, a kind of limbo. Lennar has its Rialto, Toll Brothers has its Gibraltar, and now Beazer Homes has gotten into the distressed residential real estate game with its plans to invest in the purchase of homes it can get for a song, fix up, put up for rent, and someday sell. Encore, like some of the other well-heeled funds joined at the hip with home building operators and land acquisition expertise, has the advantage of starting with a balance sheet free and clear of paying too much for land. What it buys, it can insist on paying a low number because its decisions don't need vetting by a land committee, and Encore can pull the trigger as quickly as it wants to if the deal pencils to its underwriting hurdle rates. "Our investment models can range from a one-year earn-out to six years," Avila says, which means the firm can try for some of the near-term opportunity with partially built neighborhoods even as it banks on a longer-term, low-pulse, "tepid" recovery scenario. Home building operators of strong balance sheets and not so are rabid in their obsession over the need for topline growth right now. They're each in their different business model way capitulating to the fact that trying to make a healthy living in an environment that seems to be housing's rock bottom, featuring a choppy, 300,000-or-so new-home sales per year is going to be tough. What must be particularly irksome for some of the more established companies--especially the private ones who've struggled mightily to keep their lender syndicates somewhat contented even as the valuations on their owned properties have gone mushy and their ability to pump in more equity has drained their rainy day reserves bone-dry--are "the resurrected." Companies that either took their medicine early on to get rid of "legacy land issues" (a euphemism for financially strangling building lot assets that have no chance of getting turned over, and instead simply mount up carrying costs as well as debt service), or ones who simply folded up their tent, are beginning to reconstitute with capital that is urgently looking for yield. What's still missing, and is likely to be for some time in the broad strokes that is the national market, is home buyer urgency. Low prices, low interest rates, extra added features, and lower cost-of-ownership promises thanks to higher efficiency have not quite won the day as far as driving buyer urgency into the market. Unfortunately, it's likely going to take fear--fear of missing something later by not paying for it now, fear of a worse outcome than one can imagine as prices still soften--to draw people back into a sustainable universe of demand for new homes. Until then, some familiar faces are working the deal landscape under the name of Encore. ArthurFalcone.com - ArtFalcone.com

Tiffany Haddish at Laugh Factory Tuesday 10PM May 10th Follow Tiffany on Twitter @tiffanyhaddish
Tiffany Haddish credits her social worker for her success as a comedian/actress. Growing up in foster care in South Central Los Angeles, it was her excessive talking and imaginary friends that prompted her increasingly flustered social worker to steer her in to stand-up comedy by enrolling her into the world famous Laugh Factory Comedy Camp for Children. Tiffany has been making people laugh ever since, appearing on HBO's "Def Comedy Jam," "Bill Bellamy's Who's Got Jokes" for TV One, and also on Comedy Central's "Reality Bites". Not only is she a Comedian, she has proven to be a versatile actress appearing in such diverse projects as the film comedy "Meet the Spartans" and the Lifetime drama "Racing for Time," where she played a lead role opposite Charles Dutton. Currently, she is appearing opposite Ice Cube in "Janky Promoters". Tiffany’s comedy has taken her all over the world. She recently returned from performing on the USO Tour in Japan for U.S. Troops. She has performed all over Southern California at various comedy clubs and local venues. She also performs in a comedy show “Chuckles Not Knuckles”, a program she developed for inner-city high school students that promotes non-violence.
Tiffany sees herself as sexy as Halle Berry, as funny as Jim Carrey, raw like Richard Pryor with the comedic timing of Lucille Ball, smooth like Eddie Murphy, Jewish as Whoopi Goodberg and hopes to some day have money like Oprah.

Evander Holyfield is about to embark on yet another comeback campaign.
Evander Holyfield is about to embark on yet another comeback campaign. By Mike “Rubber Warrior” Plunkett
There’s an old, well known adage that tells us “you can never go home”. Boxing history is replete with a multitude of examples of old warriors, of varying levels of skill and acclaim, returning for one last shot at fleeting glory, if not youth itself. Is it any wonder that so often they fail? If anything, boxing demands “youth” and the fire, spirit and strength that comes with the peak years of a fighter, forget trying to climb an improbable precipice of ambition years beyond one’s best, against the bigger and far younger, that enjoy the high point of their careers.
At the advanced age of 48, Evander Holyfield is about to embark on yet another comeback campaign. The former four-time heavyweight king has repeatedly stated his goal of becoming the sports only five-time heavyweight king, indifferent to the many lessons boxing history has provided to the contrary. In today’s fragmented heavyweight environment, and with the four major alphabet organizations each having their own version of a heavyweight champion, Holyfield’s chance to accomplish this remote goal would seem to be far greater than what would have been the case, say, in 1957, when there was only one heavyweight champion.
Not coincidentally, there was another ancient great lurking about in heavyweight waters back in 1957. On his two previous tries at winning the sport’s most coveted prize, he was turned back by the vestiges of talented youth. Speed and sheer strength overcame experience and willingness when in with younger men who were naturally bigger, despite the oft-sheer brilliance of his fistic offerings. His name was Archie Moore, a much-revered virtual ring Methuselah inside the confines of the squared circle.
Like Moore during that period, Holyfield is trying to stay active facing journeymen, collecting incidental paydays and ensuring that his name is somewhat relevant by staying in the media spotlight. With each win Evander inches forward towards the illusory goal of that chance title opportunity. To date, he has managed to regain a semblance of his past form and capture a portion of the public’s faith with displays of technique and power, but against a level unlike that of the Klitschko’s or WBA heavyweight champion David Haye. In Archie Moore’s case, the quality varied based on assignment, but it must be noted that at that time Moore was still the recognized World light heavyweight champion, despite his setbacks at heavyweight. As such, his ability to raise his game to a world class level, and keep it there when it counted most cannot be disputed. The question here is can Holyfield raise his game to a world class level against one of today’s top ten contenders, enough to garner a ranking, let alone challenge the likes of a top-ten contender such as Eddie Chambers, Tomasz Adamek or one of the Klitschko’s?
Consider the unlikely comeback of “Big” George Foreman. Foreman had been out of action for a full decade and in that time had gained approximately 100 pounds. Over that span, he had become an ordained minister and committed his life and energies to his small church and its membership. Out of a desire to raise funds for a youth ministry, he embarked on an ill-advised comeback.
With a new look and a kinder, more amiable approach, Big George had managed to re-invent himself. He shed 60 pounds and embarked on three year-long tour of club shows and cable dates facing a series of no-hopers along with a generous helping of C and D-level journeymen. Although the years had stripped him of that once ferocious aura, he still had the heavy clubbing power of his youth, a vastly underrated left jab and a calmness and composure that he lacked during his first career during his prime. As time went on, he eventually regained his timing and positioned himself for a title shot, something nobody could have fathomed in 1987 when he first announced his return.
Ironically, that title shot came against a prime 28 year-old variant of Evander Holyfield. Holyfield rebuffed the 42 year-old convincingly, responding to Big George’s advances in their 1991 encounter with mobility, prudent application of combination punching and a solid work rate – the very assets greatly lacking in his arsenal today. Their championship match was a colorful example of youth being served.
History suggests that “The Real Deal” is very likely to fail in his attempt to win another major world title, even gets to the point where he is granted such an opportunity. At his very best as a heavyweight, his strengths were technique, mobility, work rate and stamina. If he didn’t outbox and outwork his opponent, he’d gut it out, often to the extreme pleasure of the crowd, and almost always certainly against a far bigger man. He never had George Foreman’s God-given, fight-stopping punching power or physical strength. His game was based on a completely different set of criteria. And his burning desire to win put it all together. The ravages of time have blunted his physical attributes. Father Time and mileage have left him a fraction of what he once was despite the immense pride and that burning desire to compete. In a very real way, he has become his most dangerous foe.
Today the heavyweight division is ruled by two talented behemoths and a gifted mouthpiece. Each has formidable boxing skills, and in the cases of Wladimir Klitschko, Ring Magazine’s recognized World heavyweight champion, a certain studied fluidity combined with legitimate knockout power. If given the chance, I cannot envision Evander simply laying down or quitting on his stool between rounds. He’ll approach today’s best with the memory and internal fire of his youth, but ultimately find that the bigger and younger champions have more skill, strength, speed and power. He’ll be hopelessly out-maneuvered and out-gunned. Before long, the two attributes he was lauded for years ago, will be exposed as lacking – his ability to absorb punishment and his stamina. As such, he will not be in the fight long enough to be able to truly compete, and likely suffer a devastating and potentially dangerous loss.
Today, when watching Evander embark on his ring walk or weigh-in with his still magnificent physique, it is strangely akin to a chance meeting with an old and long admired high school buddy. Despite the warm regard and glorious memories of days gone by, the sobering reality is that much water has passed under the bridge and that people change as they get older. What worked then doesn’t necessarily work or fit now. The desire to turn back the clock and once again recapture what once was won’t work. You simply cannot go home again, and in boxing that axiom applies just as much in the ring as it ever does in the real world, but on a much more harsh and emphatic scale.
I wish Evander would pick-up on that, and leave well enough alone. He was one of the greatest heavyweights ever and in my books an all-time great fighter, but he belongs to a different era, one that ended long ago.
Right or wrong, Holyfield fights on By Kevin Lole Yahoo Sports
Right or wrong, Holyfield fights on By Kevin Lole Yahoo Sports
Evander Holyfield is not hurting boxing. He’s not committing some atrocity by fighting Sherman Williams in a pay-per-view bout on Saturday at the same West Virginia resort where Slammin’ Sammy Snead was once the head golf professional.
More From Kevin Iole
* Hopkins shares birthday, values with MLK Jan 17, 2011
Evander Holyfield says his faith in God keeps him fighting when others feel he should retire.
(ap)
He’s working for a living.
He’s selling a product: Himself. He’s no different than a door-to-door salesman who is hawking vacuum cleaners and hearing no far more than he does yes. Holyfield gets that most fans aren’t interested, but he’s hoping enough of you will find his boxing matches of interest to pay $29.95 on Saturday to see it.
He’s one of the four best pay-per-view draws in boxing history, along with long-time rival Mike Tyson, Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr. He’ll be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame the first time he is eligible, though judging by the way he’s going, that may not be until 2020.
But he’s 48 now and not a very good boxer. He’s no threat to win the heavyweight title, though he’s still good enough to box the ears off guys like Williams.
Any time Holyfield fights these days, there’s outrage. Six years ago, the legendary New York Times columnist, Ira Berkow, traveled to Holyfield’s 54,000-square-foot mansion outside Atlanta to ask him why he refused to give it up.
Holyfield was a few months past an embarrassingly one-sided loss to Larry Donald that caused the New York State Athletic Commission to put him on an indefinite medical suspension for poor performance when Berkow made the trek to Georgia to interview him for a piece that appeared in the Times’ Jan. 7, 2005 edition.
Holyfield was 42 then and had lost three in four and five of his previous eight, a stretch in which he went 2-5-1.
But, then as now, Holyfield was refusing to quit, telling Berkow his goal was to win the undisputed heavyweight championship one more time before he retired.
“I believe in the word of God,” Holyfield told Berkow. “And I believe in what it says about overcoming. That no matter what the situation, you can overcome it. As the Bible says, ‘I walk by faith, not by sight.’ “
Holyfield hasn’t wavered on that stance despite literally hundreds of calls for his retirement in the media. Bernard Fernandez of the Philadelphia Daily News, the long-time president of the Boxing Writers Association of America, became the latest to do so on Friday when he closed his column by writing, “Walk away, Evander. Nothing you do, in a professional sense, can add or detract to what you’ve already accomplished. You’ve earned your rest. Enjoy it.”
Tim Dahlberg, the brilliant national sports columnist of the Associated Press, was ringside for most of Holyfield’s biggest moments, including his stunning 1996 win over Tyson. On Tuesday, Dahlberg ridiculed Holyfield’s resolve to regain the title.
” … Listen to Holyfield talk and you get the feeling he really does think he can be a heavyweight champion again,” Dahlberg wrote. “Unfortunately, that’s a dangerous thing for a 48-year-old who has been through way too many ring wars to speak.”
Holyfield hears the critics, but he disagrees. Earlier this month, he uttered nearly the same words to Fanhouse’s Lem Satterfield that he did to the Times’ Berkow six years earlier. Asked by Satterfield about risks to his health by continuing to fight, Holyfield again referred to his religious beliefs.
“But the fact of the matter is that I’m a Christian, and I believe in Jesus,” Holyfield said. “That is my protection. He’s been my protection, and, so, you know what? Because I believe in the word of God, this is the reason that I’m able to do what I’m able to do. And there ain’t been nobody that’s been able to do it better.”
He’s one of the five or 10 best heavyweights who ever lived and has long since established his Hall of Fame credentials. No matter how bad he may look on Saturday, and no matter how much worse he may get, he can do nothing to obscure the fact that he’s among the greatest to have ever stepped inside of a ring.
The outrage over his continuing to fight is because of a fear that he’ll be injured, that he may wind up like Freddie Roach or, worse, Muhammad Ali, silenced forever by Parkinson’s.
He’s passed all the tests and so he continues to fight, undeterred by the critics and absolutely convinced that the undisputed title is his destiny.
I wish he would stop, because it’s painful as a fan to watch. He’s like Johnny Unitas with the Chargers or Willie Mays with the Mets, old men stumbling around and unable to come close to their former skill or grace.
But he’s fighting on pay-per-view and there is no more democratic form of television.
If you’re interested, plunk down your 30 bucks and buy it.
If you’re not, skip it.
Me? I’ll pass. I heard there’s something good on QVC at that time.is not hurting boxing. He’s not committing some atrocity by fighting Sherman Williams in a pay-per-view bout on Saturday at the same West Virginia resort where Slammin’ Sammy Snead was once the head golf professional.

Evander Holyfield Redemption in America
At The Greenbrier, White Sulphur Springs, WV
At The Greenbrier, White Sulphur Springs, WV
(PPV) Evander Holyfield (43-10-2) vs. Sherman Williams (34-11-2)
Sherman Williams- Bahamian-born veteran, nearly 40 years old himself, is a good test for prospects, who does not sport any skills that Holyfield has not seen a hundred times. Showed improvement when trained by Buddy McGirt and is pacing himself by only fighting twice in the last two years. Lost one of those appearances to 12-bout novice Manuel Charr, a good German prospect, but went the distance and took some early rounds. Williams has never beaten a top 20 heavyweight- sorry, Tye Fields does not count- but is adept defensively having only been stopped once in 11 losses. Early in his career, showed mental toughness, coming back from losing two of his first three bouts, but knows his place now as a respected steppingstone and sparring partner. At 5’11” with a 76-inch reach, Williams is not a big heavyweight and a moderate puncher with a 40% kayo ratio. He is sufficiently accurate though and early in fights, throws combinations. A predictable slowdown is part of Williams entering fights at over 250 pounds, which hampers him just as much as dulling reflexes. Should be given credit for clawing his way to the position of a fighter that tests prospects making the jump to contender, which is more of a compliment than I give him credit for.
Evander Holyfield- When does dedication and desire become ignorance and obstinacy? In boxing, I would argue it is the milestone age of 40, except with very rare cases such as Bernard Hopkins and Archie Moore. Does Holyfield really think he can win another world title or has he simply conditioned himself to say that and expect us to believe him? I am not going to waste much time on this “event,” since Team Holyfield is so sure of victory, a fight against Brian Nielsen is already scheduled for March in Denmark. I will simply state where Holyfield is today instead of retelling Holyfield’s Hall of Fame achievements. At 48, Holyfield is two decades removed from his prime and most hoped a yearlong absence from the ring in 2009 would be permanent. Produced a credible performance against Nicolay Valuev, his last title fight, but lack of punch output by both men and the booing audience told the real story of the fight. Holyfield remains entertaining when he enters a ring, throwing punches instinctually and flashing memorable combinations against slow foes. Also enters fights in great shape, around 220 pounds, which is one of the few good things Holyfield can still show heavyweights of today how to do. I just do not want to see Holyfield eating punches at his age, which he continues to absorb, no matter the level of opponent. Simply put, Evander has overstayed his welcome. The former great still gives 100%, which is not 10% of what Holyfield used to be.
Verdict- Honestly, in my righteous indignation, I did not want to review this fight. I was asked more about this fight by fans than I expected and credit that to Holyfield’s media team for flooding boxing websites and reporters with press releases. That being said, Holyfield by decision. Evander’s volume and Williams’ pacifistic stance will allow him to soak up punches while retreating to the final bell. Williams’ refusal to get into firefights will limit the excitement. Because Holyfield’s feet are slowing, he won’t be able to cut off the ring and force a fight either. Holyfield wins every round but continues to lose supporters.
Prediction record for 2011: 100% (4-0)
Prediction record for 2010: 85% (218-40)

Can Williams Derail Holyfield’s Quest? By Beau Denison
Can Williams Derail Holyfield’s Quest? By Beau Denison
The next chapter in the legendary career of five-time world champion and four-time World Heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield begins this weekend as the 48 year old future Hall of Famer steps into the ring against grizzled veteran Sherman Williams at The Greenbrier Hotel and Casino in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.

Holyfield (43-10-2, 28 Knockouts) who last fought on April 10, 2010 scoring an eighth round stoppage of former IBF Heavyweight champion Francois Botha has been plagued in recent months by numerous attempts to stage this bout with Sherman Williams falling through. This has resulted in the former Heavyweight champion being unable to follow through on his intentions to remain active in his campaign to earn another shot at the Heavyweight title.
With the bout with Sherman Williams finally coming to fruition Holyfield now finds himself hoping to fight twice in a six week period, something he has not done since 1986 when he was a contender in the Crusierweight division. Holyfield is scheduled to face popular Danish Heavyweight Brian Neilsen on March 5 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Holyfield faces what could be a tough test in Heavyweight veteran Sherman Williams. Williams (34-11-2,19 Knockouts) is a veteran of forty-seven bouts and is no doubt entering the biggest fight of his career on the biggest stage of his career.
Williams an extremely heavy-handed aggressive fighter will likely be looking to put pressure on Holyfield from the opening bell and will no doubt be looking to impose his will on Holyfield whom has been known for starting slow in recent bouts. Williams will be looking to force the fight into a slugfest by pressuring Holyfield.
In his prime, Holyfield was a fighter who was able to use effective lateral movement by bouncing off his toes and throwing crisp combinations to effectively execute his offense, against an aggressive brawler like Williams it will be interesting to see if Holyfield can box effectively from the outside.
One of the keys to this bout in my mind will be how quick Evander Holyfield can get his punches off. One thing that a fighter faces as they get older are the effects of gradually slowing reflexes which can have an effect on a fighter’s ability to sustain a consistent offensive rhythm. Holyfield had some difficulty in his last fight against Francois Botha in the early rounds because Botha was able to box effectively in spots and tie Holyfield up on the inside before Holyfield could effectively return offense. Botha accomplished this by throwing punches in sporadic bursts as he came forward and would clinch Holyfield.
As the fight went on Botha began to tire and Holyfield was able to gradually get in an offensive rhythm and was able to throw his right hand effectively. Holyfield was able drop Botha in the eighth round with a right hand and was able to score a stoppage later in the round.
A key to this bout will be whether Holyfield is able to dictate the pace of the fight. If Holyfield can establish his pace and force Williams into his type of fight then it will likely be to Holyfield’s advantage because he will not have to fight for a full three minutes of a round where he can likely be effective by throwing punches in bursts.
Another question that surrounds this fight is in regard to Holyfield’s preparation for the bout. In a conference call to promote the fight earlier this week I asked Holyfield what affect if any have the multiple postponements and cancellations have had on his preparations for this bout with Sherman Williams.
Holyfield stated quote “It has been very difficult, This fight should've been five or six months ago, but people didn't do what they said they was going to do. And I'd like to thank Sherman for not getting frustrated. Things like this happen. It’s not on my behalf that it happened this way. I'd have done anything to have this fight three months ago.”
The bout which was last scheduled to take place on December 9 in Detroit was cancelld in November and with all the negotiations to get the bout back on as well as Holyfield already scheduled for another bout six weeks following this fight, it can certainly have an affect on any fighter’s preparation.
Holyfield stated following his TKO victory over Francois Botha that he was intent on staying active, during the conference call I also asked Holyfield if he had any concern with fighting two bouts in such a short period of time with his bout with Brian Neilsen scheduled for March 5 in Denmark. Holyfield stated quote “When I accepted the Nielsen fight, I didn't even know if this fight was going to happen, Hopefully this fight won't take so much out of me that I can't fight the next one."
Holyfield has always been an extremely well conditioned fighter however, with being out of the ring for eight months as well as problems with securing his next bout one has to wonder whether or not he has had adequate time to prepare for this fight given that he is 48 years old.
Williams faces a similar scenario in that he like Holyfield has had to sit out and wait for the problems which have stood in the way of this fight taking place to be resolved. Williams will also be coming off nearly a year and a half of inactivity so ring rust may also be a factor for him in this fight.
Williams is ten years younger than Holyfield and is coming into this fight having built some momentum compiling a record of 9-1, 4 Knockouts in his last ten fights. The thing that some may view as a negative against Williams however is that although he has fought several notable Heavyweight contenders and former Heavyweight champion Ruslan Chagaev, he has been unable to successfully step up in class and is not a top ten contender. What may work to Williams’ advantage however is the potential of being overlooked by Holyfield and Holyfield’s camp.
After all, Holyfield already has another bout scheduled following this fight and, that can serve as quite a motivator for a fighter whom may be considered an after thought. One can not dismiss the potential for an upset here that should Williams be successful would certainly catapult him into the mainstream of the Heavyweight division.
In the same conference call earlier this week, when asked his thoughts about being overshadowed in the promotion of this fight Williams stated “Evander is a tough guy, But I'm a tough cookie as well. I ain't no pushover. He's got a lot of experience and a lot of wisdom on his side. So do I. And once we get into the ring, whatever it takes to accomplish what I need to get done is what I'm willing to do.”
During the conference call I asked Williams if he saw anything from Holyfield’s last bout with Francois Botha, where Botha fought effectively early that he might be able to use to his advantage. Williams stated quote “I don’t concern myself with that, I don’t study tapes or anything like that.” This in my mind suggests that the normally aggressive Williams will be right in front of Holyfield from the outset which may have the ingredients for an exciting fight for Boxing fans.
The focal point of this fight however is of course Evander Holyfield’s continuing quest to regain the Undisputed Heavyweight championship. Whether or not his fight with Williams or his upcoming bout with Brian Neilsen will serve as a way to springboard himself back into the Heavyweight title picture is up for debate.
What is indisputable however is the notion that even the greatest of fighters can be caught and in this case Holyfield is the fighter whom all eyes will be focused on. The pressure is on him to not only emerge from this fight victorious but also to fight in such a way that he makes the best argument possible for a shot at the Heavyweight title. For Sherman Williams it is an opportunity to make a name for himself against a living legend.
What Williams may fail to realize is Evander Holyfield is waging his own private war. The war to once again capture the Heavyweight crown. He’s lost a few battles yet he continues on. Yes he is 48 years old, yes he has a suspect left shoulder, yes some of his boxing skills have slowed, but there is one thing. We should not forget and Williams should definitely take notice of Evander Holyfield’s heart.
Evander Holyfield has the heart of a gladiator and does not accept defeat. Williams has stated that he does not review tape of his opponents which ultimately in the case of Holyfield may be a disastrous mistake. If Williams would review Holyfield’s career he will see that it will take more than boxing skills and power punches to defeat him. Holyfield even when you have him in trouble continues to fight on, a champion tried and true, has snatched victory from presumable defeat.
So who will come out the victor in the Holyfield-Williams bout? All questions will be answered this Saturday night, January 22nd.

HUNTINGTON -- Sherman "Tank" Williams gets the perfect opportunity to pump some life back into his boxing career Saturday night when he takes on future Hall of Famer Evander "The Real Deal" Holyfield at The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va.
"I'm totally motivated. It's big for me," Williams said in a telephone interview from his training headquarters in Vero Beach, Fla. "I hope to have that WBF belt around my waist."
Holyfield (43-10-2, 28 knockouts) has gone 6-6-1 since last holding the WBA belt in 2000. If Holyfield, 48, beats Williams (34-11-2, 19 KOs), he has a March 5 bout scheduled against 45-year-old Brian Nielsen in Nielsen's native Denmark. A win then and boxing's only four-time heavyweight champion has his sights set on either WBC champ Vitali Klitschko or WBA titleholder David Haye.
"Evander's in the driver's seat," Williams said. "I hope to take the same course. I'm excited about this fight, not just because I'm fighting Holyfield, but what beating him impressively, or knocking him out, can do for me. It can better position me for a fight against Vitali Klitschko or David Haye."
Holyfield is coming off of April 2010's eighth-round knockout of Francois Botha in Las Vegas, a triumph that made him the fringe WBF titlist.
Williams has been idle since October 2009 when he lost to Manuel Charr in Germany. After that setback, Williams was involved in a car accident. He suffered three herniated discs in his lower back and four herniations in his upper back.
"I'm well now," Williams said. "I thank God."
Williams endured three delays before this fight finally was made. It originally was scheduled in November and then December in Detroit, but got postponed each time. Reasons cited were slow ticket sales and lack then of a television deal.
While Holyfield has the edge in experience, Williams believes he has what it takes to mix it up with the champ.
"He's a warrior. He's a legend in the heavyweight division," Williams said. "Styles make fights. Some don't like my pressure. I mix it up. I like close quarters. I believe he'll bring out the greatness in me. Just because he's a few years older, Holyfield still is the same in the ring. I plan on going to war with him."

HUNTINGTON -- Evander Holyfield's goal at age 48 is the same as it was when he started boxing professionally 26 years ago.
Get to the top.
Holyfield hopes to take that next step Saturday night when he defends his World Boxing Federation heavyweight title against Sherman "Tank" Williams at The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. The 12-round main event headlines the "Redemption in America: The Journey Begins Now" pay-per-view show from the resort's Colonial Hall.
"Why keep going? Because it's a goal," Holyfield said during a telephone interview from Los Angeles on Jan. 6. "When you have a goal, you don't put a time limit on it. A lot of people don't think about how you start, but how you finish."
Six other fights are scheduled that night.
Holyfield (43-10-2, 28 KOs) last fought April 10, 2010. He knocked Francois Botha out in the eighth round in Las Vegas to claim the then vacant WBF crown. In boxing's alphabet of divisions, that one is a minor title.
Holyfield has trained of late in New York City at Church St. Boxing Gym. He held public workouts there Monday and Tuesday.
"I like to stay busy," Holyfield said. "I used to go four to five times a year. I go slower now. Plus a big fight takes time to promote."
The major targets for Holyfield, a four-time heavyweight champion, are the WBC crown held by Vitali Klitschko and WBA crown held by David Haye. Holyfield, who calls Atlanta home, is trying to become the oldest man to win a major heavyweight title belt, an effort that would surpass George Foreman.
"My goal is to be heavyweight champion of the world," said Holyfield, who's nickname is "The Real Deal." "People say I'm an old man, why do I have to go against him? I have the ability, the agility to get it done. I prove myself more by what I do, not what I say."
Holyfield insists his training sessions are still intense. He just doesn't schedule as many as he used to.
"It's easy. Boxing is the most important thing in my life," Holyfield said. "I'm older, I don't do the things I used to do, but I don't cut myself short. My body doesn't recover as fast. I remember times when I didn't get that much rest.
"I know I can make it. I just have to do the right amount of stuff. I made a lot of mistakes when I was young. I can't make them now. I take better care of myself."
There won't be much down time for Holyfield after this fight. He's scheduled to meet Brian Nielsen on March 5 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
"No pressure," Holyfield said. "I'll go out and do the best I can in this one. It's a harder game now, but I can recover for March. I believe I can."
Holyfield, who won the bronze medal as a light heavyweight in the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, has fought and beaten a virtual Who's Who in the sport's heavyweight and cruiserweight divisions. He has wins over world champions Mike Tyson (twice), George Foreman, Larry Holmes, Riddick Bowe, Michael Moorer, Buster Douglas, John Ruiz (twice), Hasim Rahman, Chris Byrd, Pinklon Thomas, Michael Dokes, Dwight Muhammad Qawi (twice), and Carlos De Leon.
"Some are younger," Holyfield said. "They think they know something you don't know. You outwork them. That's how I stick with it.
"Forty years as a fighter. ... who's going to outthink me? You train one way. You have yourself ready."

Evander Holyfield Redemption in America
The Greenbrier Gets Ready For 'The Real Deal' By Kellen Boyle
The Greenbrier Gets Ready For 'The Real Deal'
As Holyfield gets ready for his fight, The Greenbrier is making preparations of their own. By Kellen Boyle
A big boxing match is coming to The Greenbrier.
Evander Holyfield will enter the ring against Sherman "The Tank" Williams at The Greenbrier's Colonial Hall on Saturday.
This week, The Greenbrier is getting ready.
Organizers at The Greenbrier say they began putting together the lighting and seating last week, and the ring will be the last thing to be put in.
The room is expected to seat almost a thousand people and will feature a live band, performers, singers, and seven under-card fights besides Holyfield's main event.
"One of the things that Jim Justice has really tried to do to The Greenbrier is to restore the energy to the resort, so with The Greenbrier Classic, The Casino Club, and now this Holyfield fight, it's really just amping things up for all of our guests," says The Greenbrier's Public Relations Director Lynn Swann.
Doors will open Saturday at 6 p.m. The first fight is at 7 p.m. and Holyfield will hop in the ring at 11 p.m.
