Tyson lost technique on his punches when he got out of prison, that's why Holy took them.

Do you think pre-prison Tyson gets beat by Holy?

I watched this fight again recently. I've seen it about 50 times.

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!?!?!

evander was juiced up in those two fights

It would be a good fight, but I think Tyson would win.

Im sure this has been said before but...

1. Tyson didnt throw to the body.
2. Tyson was throwing single shots. Not combinations.
3. Tyson was predictable, Holyfield knew wen to counter Tyson.
4. Tyson was a one dimensional fighter, with no game plan, no corner to help him really, and after being knocked down in the 6th he was mentally beaten.

I thought Tyson's best round was the 5th, in which he threw some combos, went to the body, and Holyfield didnt respnd with anything because he felt those shots.
A younger pre-prison Tyson would have done that from the first round.

Ok, just read the whole thread. People who say **** like "Holyfireld was just great" need to actually study boxing!

Holyfield was great. No doubt. But HOW Tyson was beaten was the question asked. Holyfield was very tough, knew how to defend against Tysons one dimensional single punch attacks, and knew he had to push Tyson back, take control and not let Tyson get on top like he was used to.

Whoever mentioned the Seldon fight...thats a ****ing joke! Seldon **** himself and wanted out. Lots of Tysons opponents like Golota, Norris, Francis, Bruno, just absolutly **** themselves and were beaten by fear.

Holyfield was very smart and well prepared. Tyson believed his own hype, and thought old man Holyfield would fall down like his other opponents since coming out of prison.

BP,

I think you have this one in hand.

Seldon was petrified. I believe that was me who mentioned him..

You're right..

It was a pitiful glancing shot - there could have been some overracting.

That's all speculation of course.


Holyfield absorbed some good good shots. Tyson's power was the same.

Tyson knocked men out with the shots he hit Holy with..
