People are in with dirty fighters all the time, and they don't bite their opponents fucking ear off.
Head butt him back, hit him low. But biting off flesh flesh and spitting it out is on a whole other level.

I'm just putting myself in his position. A guy is headbutting the **** out of me, he cuts me on the eye with a head butt, and then he rubs his head all over my cut eye and the ref isn't doing a damn thing about it.
I would be furious.

Abdul Aziz was a very dirty fighter himself,cheating heavily. Constantly with elbows, headbutts, jointlocks etc.
Evander gave him a taste of his own medicine really.
The memorable headbutt in their first fight where Tyson was sent reeling back was actually initiated by him.
In the second fight Aziz continually tried to break Evander's arm and then of course rip part of the ear off with his teeth.

Too bad they couldn't have fought before Mike went to prison, the Tyson that beat Razor Ruddock would have probably beat Holyfield (at that time).

Originally posted by Genius~ View PostI don't blame Mike for doing what he did. Holyfield was using his head like a third arm and the ref wasn't doing anything about it.
Holyfield was wrestling and fighting with his head for most of the fight. Tyson even got cut because of it and the ref didn't even make a ruling. No warnings, no point deductions, nothing. He just kept letting him fight with his head.
