It's been awhile since I've seen the fight but at some point, I think Tyson hit him with an uppercut with full force and Holyfield was barely fazed. I'm sure Tyson was thinking, "Oh, ****" when that happened.
    There you go, Jason!

    That's what I'm claimin'.

    I remember the uppercut. Holyfield's whole body shook.

    Tyson also hit him with some vicious left hooks and straights...

    It was unbelievable. Every time I watch it - it get's crazier.

      Marciano's suzy- q punch was nothing but a hook followd with an elbow . Yet no one ever discredits his ko rec . Elbows are a part of boxing just like a spit ball is a part of baseball . It's against the rules but if you can get away with it why not use it .

        Excellent point.

        And you can be sure both Holy and Tyson were using em'...

        Fighters have their own justice system.

Just think of how Tyson came straight out of prison overweight and still could beat all but 2 of the best heavyweights of all time . By the time of the Lewis fight he was far far far past his prime and still took a hell of a lot of punishment... says a lot about how good he really was .
          Tyson vs Bowe in 96 or 97 would have been interesting. I mean tyson was biting ears and losing to holy while Bowe was too busy getting his butt whooped by golota.

            The Bowe that was dropped by Holyfield in the 3rd fight woud have been ko'd by Tyson . Bowe from the 1st Holy fight would have gave him some trouble but could have still been beat by Mike .

                you are right my bad ....but he knocked out walcott and a lot of others with a elbow/hook...no hold on that hook was the suzy
                Walcott of course lost his title having met the 'Suzy Q' courtesy of 'The Brockton Blockbuster' Rocky

                    This most recent viewing was different however.

                    I had just finished watching dozens of other Tyson fights.

                    What struck me as incredibly odd this time - was that Tyson was not lethargic, Tyson was not unfocused, and Tyson was landing some VERY heavy shots on Holyfield. Evander was taking Tyson KO punches no problem.

                    Mainly, I'm wondering what kind of **** Evander was on that night. I know he wore Mike down to win.

                    But how was Evander taking those ****ing shots!?!?!
                    What I remember was, and I haven't seen the first fight but twice......was an in fighting clinch war won by Evander for rounds...and Mike getting pushed back. Then I remember a body combination and then Mike biting Evander's ear. The fight stops momentarily and Evander jumps up and down....Mike spits out the ear and when the fight commences...the two start throwing wild ****ing punches untill the stoppage.

                    Both guys lost their composure and Evander obviously deserved to win the fight.

                    What a ****ing war though.
