I don't think the pre-steroid version of Holyfield pushes Mike around like the steroid version did. Then again, I don't think that was really the issue in their first fight other than maybe psychologically. I think too much is made of that. The biggest problem Evander posed for Tyson was the angles he gave him that nullified much of Tyson's offense forcing him to constantly reset, taking away Mike's combination punching. Holyfield's own fast combos can pile up points, and possibly wear Tyson down for a late stoppage. I think it's equally possible that one of those Tyson's single punches could catch Evander where he doesn't see it coming, stunning him and allowing Mike's combos to come into play. At that point, a couple of big rounds by Tyson could erase Holyfield's point lead, and maybe even produce a KO or ref stoppage.
I'm going to call it a 50/50 fight between two pretty damn evenly matched fighters. Maybe Holyfield just had Tyson's number, I'm inclined to doubt it and I think Mike has a great chance to win.
I do think its a closer match for sure, Tyson being undefeated and mentally and physically prepared. Its a very tough fight. Holyfield who has never lost is gonna be a really hard nut for Tyson to crack though - esp seeing they knew eachother.
