I agree with you, Walker.. I mean it's no mystery that Holy's headbutt was a major part of his arsenal... Dude was so vicious with it he makes Bradley look innocent..

Back when this incident happened, everybody, even the time Magazine wrote a piece on it and all they would talk about is how Tyson is an ear munching monster etc etc etc... All they did was paint this man into a villain instead of looking at the real issue..

Tyson was beyond frustrated by Holy's dirty headbutts yet the ref pretty much let him have his way with it so tyson took matters into his own hands.. If the ref isn't gonna do his job, then fuck it, imma go eye for an eye.. That was his mentality and I totally feel where he was coming from..

This is typical in our sport.. Some fighters get a pass for their dirtyness because of who they are and what they have accomplished.. Take Barrera for instance, this dude was one of the dirtiest fighters of the past 15 years yet people rarely spoke in it.. why? cuz he's barrera.. Simliar situation with Holy..

I dont blame Tyson at all for what he did.. How dare you fuckin headbutt me.. Anybody who has been intentionally headbutted during a boxing match would understand how that feels.. And Holy didnt just do it once, twice, or even thrice.... he did it continuously and got away with it..

He had to use that extra weapon cuz he needed that edge over Tyson.. Without the headbutts, the fight could have looked alot different..

To be fair, Tyson was no angel either.

I remember back when Tyson fought Bruno, and Terry lawless in his interview after the fight saying, that Richard steele had given Bruno his final warning for holding and hitting, yet never once warned Tyson for the Headbutts, or the elbows that crunched into Bruno's face.

Maybe Holyfield had the attitude at the time, like im going to give it to you pal, just so you know where i'm coming from, and Tyson always the intimidator was actually placed i a position where "He" was the intimidated, and couldnt hack it, either that or the prospect of facing a fully motivated Holyfield kicking his butt again totally messed his mind up.

Either way, every fighter has his own fault's.

Protect yourself at all times.
