Description : Here we have the original onsite poster from Caesars Palace, April 22, 1994 for the WBA, IBF and Lineal Heavyweight Championships. After defeating Riddick Bowe in a closely contested rematch to regain his WBA, IBF and Lineal Heayweight titles, Holyfield had hoped for a unification match with the WBC Heavyweight Champion Lennox Lewis. Instead, the WBA and IBF demanded Holyfield face the mandatory challenger, undefeated southpaw Michael Moorer.
In a shocking upset, Moorer would defeat Holyfield via majority decision with judges Jerry Roth and Chuck Giampa giving Moorer the victory by the scores of 115-114 and 116-112 respectively, while Dalby Shirley scored the fight even at 114-114. In the second round, Moorer was in control of the fight until Holyfield caught him with a left hook that dropped Moorer to the canvas. Though earning a knockdown would usually result in a round win for the fighter, judge Jerry Roth scored the round even at 10-10 instead of 10-9 which would have made the fight a majority draw in which Holyfield would have kept his titles. Holyfield's manager Shelly Finkel would protest the round, but the decision was upheld.
