I'm sure this has been asked many times, but after seeing this bout for the first time last night (I know, heresy) it seems to me that - despite losing the first two rounds widely - Tyson actually seemed to be getting a handle on things during the third and may have actually gone on to win.

It all seemed to be slotting into place... then the guy got peckish. Did you see the bit where he licked his lips after doing it the first time? That's some crazy s**t, ain't it? I love all the post-fight interviews where all the HBO guys just haven't got a clue how to address something so unprecidented.

Tyson's co-manager: "Holyfield was squealing like a little *****!"

Holyfield. Tyson was not biting Evanders ears because he felt he was or could be winning.

Tysonwas being manhaddled in that fight. it were one sided, Tson only made the effort in the 3rd rd so he could appear to be winning when he went to bite him. Tyson wasn`t gonna win, and Holyfield knew it, above all, Tyson knew it.

Holyfield would have gotten the frustrated Tyson out of there quicker than the first fight. The classic "styles makes fights" matchup.
The bully got bullied by a man with no fear. The bullies don't respond well to people fighting back.

Holyfield had Tysons number plain and simple.

Peace..................

Tyson looked pretty good in the 3rd, but still Iron Mike knew Holyfeild had his number he resigned himself to a loss after the first round.

Holyfield..............

I think Holyfield would have won because although Tyson started to land som hard shots I think Holfield would have weathered the storm and beat Tyson in the late rounds.

I agree, Tyson was getting nothing out of this.Holyfield owned him.

Anyway QueenCity, who's in that .gif image you have just taking shots?

Evander Holyfield would've been on his way to an even more lopsided victory over Tyson compared to the 1st one and may have possibly k.o.'d the not so Iron Mike. Holy on their 2nd encounter was already showing Tyson all kinds of different looks in those 2 rounds. KJ that's a killer avatar by the way.

damn. i thought tyson was about to take his head off, and landed a ton of good hard shots in the third

since tyson came out of jail there is nothing to suggest he would have done anything different from the first fight.

still say holyfield

Holyfield clearly had tysons number, and even tyson knew it
