Looking back on Holyfield-tyson 1, and 2

[Boogie Nights]

I understand why he did it but it was not acceptable by any means. Tyson himself said that a warrior should not lose discipline under any circumstances.

Tyson wasn't above using rough tactics either. Tyrell Biggs complained about his use of elbows and Tyson's response was to ask Biggs whether he would want another...

Too much is made of that. Did mike fight dirty sometimes? Absolutely, but which fighter didnt? Hell even the most defensive fighter out there, Pep, stepped on Saddler's feet. Part of why mike sometimes threw elbows, was because of short arms, the other part was because he wanted to.

Im not saying biting was justified, it's just Evander did that in both fights, what did he really expect?

[sleazyfellow]

He just knew what worked against mike, and headbutting obviously was one of them.

[shortright]

tyson was finished at that point

id just like to say im in no way saying that what he did was acceptable at the end of the day he still bit the mans ears , however you can understand and relate as to why. his commentary on the first fight is something everyone should hear. hell he basically gave holyfield props. he says something along the lines of " i was blacking out , not aware of what was happening , i was getting hit but i couldnt feel anything i didnt feel hurt , pow pow pow pow , i couldnt feel them but i could hear them pow pow , pow and then the fight was over , it must have been brilliant. "

in the second fight once again hes being head butted and i think he finally caught on as to why the **** he blacked out in the first fight and what had happened , when nothing was done about it he admits to becoming enraged and just snapping becoming animal like.

mike was not the only one who got butted, but he was definetly the one who overreacted.

In the words of Lennox Lewis "Evanded uses his head like a third glove."

tyson was finished at that point

I don't know about that. He still had his speed and power although obviously not his determination. Many fighters other than Holyfield may have been intimidated and knocked out.

tyson was finished the day he got ****d in prison

And i know Homes was past his prime when they fought but he was still good enough to go 12 with Holyfield 4 1/2 years later.

Well Holmes always had a good jaw and Holy was never a devastating puncher.

In the words of Lennox Lewis "Evanded uses his head like a third glove."

and Lennox still beat him.
