Comments Thread For: Willis Brings ‘The Bite Fight’ Back to Life

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Mike Tyson was in the jovial mood that has been his usual one these days, far removed from the time when a simple question from the media could provoke a surly outburst. So while in New York City last month for the launch of George Willis’ book “The Bite Fight,” which chronicles the second fight between Tyson and Evander Holyfield in 1997, Tyson was asked if it was difficult to go through memories of that time, which certainly weren’t good, all over again.

“That’s so awesome you said that because at the time they weren’t great at all, but they are now,” he said. “They’re great moments now.”

In a bizarre way he’s right. They’re not great in terms of wanting to pat “Iron Mike” on the back for biting Holyfield’s ears – not once, but twice – and earning a third round disqualification, but when you read Willis’ book, it reminds you of how pivotal a moment that fight and its aftermath was in boxing history. For the longtime New York Post sports reporter and boxing beat writer, he couldn’t have come across a better book topic.

Save your money!! Book & author unworthy!!

Just plain good advice... if you haven't purchased this book, DON'T! It is a complete waste of your hard-earned money, especially given the subject mater, or lack thereof, when you can read essentially the same information for free on Wikipedia by going to that site and typing into the its search bar "Evander Holyfield vs. Mike Tyson II". In fact, this may be where this piss poor journalist no doubt did his supposed research. On a direct personal experience note, if concern about ones potential purchasers were measured in dollars, Mr. George Willis would be BANKRUPT ten times over! Take my advice - you won't be sorry!
