While boxing matches have always\u2063 been known for their intense nature, the language \u2063used in reaction to Holyfield&#8217;s loss has crossed the line from passionate to disrespectful.<\/p>\n<p>As \u200bfans witnessed Holyfield fall to Vitor Belfort in the first round of their match, social media immediately exploded\u2063 with\u200b reactions ranging from shock and disappointment to insults and mockery.
