    He wasn't getting beaten in the second fight though, and had landed the bigger punches. I think Mike Tyson got frustrated because he didn't know how to work out on the inside, and because Holyfield head butted him blatantly multiple times.

    don't know what you were watching Holyfield was still leading on the cards in the rematch, he landed the cleaner shots and smothered Tyson's attack for the majority of the fight, Mike didn't like going into the later rounds, realized he wasn't getting the win and was well on his way to another stoppage loss so he took the easy way out, not the last time he pulled a dirty stunt like this, didn't he try snapping Francis' arm? didn't he flat out quit against Williams? didn't he again try to snap McBride's arm?

    There is no excuse what Tyson done in the Holyfield fight , he disgraced himself and more importantly he disgraced the noble art ,how anyone can make a excuse for this thug is beyond a joke ,Tyson did get butted , this is boxing the toughest game there is , it happens and always will, he was losing the fight and wanted a way out end of story ,he knew he could not hurt Holyfield , and was in for a long and painfull night, and acted like the bully he was .

    Off topic but when Tyson fought Golota, Tyson had some kind of chemical in his hair, that when he headbutted Golota, Andrew lost his mind and ran away. I remember reading this in some Polish newspaper. I'm a huge Golota fan , but this was just a hilarious and absurd excuse

    must have gotten Tyson's hair follicle in his eye cause the only chemical Tyson had in his hair that night was the THC from the weed he smoked prior to the fight lol

    i think that the one who starts must pay and not with just 1 silly deduction point, there is a lack of justice in boxing, any headbutts shouldn't be part of boxing, and i like ear bites or almost whatever after headbutts, but only if the fighter who suffers the headbutt is the weaker rival

    Been a while since I watched the fight but my recollection was Tyson was losing and it was going pretty much the same as the first fight. Tyson's lack of mental toughness surfaced and he snapped.

    I don't buy that Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield's ear because it was an easy way out of a beating he knew he couldn't get out of... I don't buy that hogwash!

    If memory serves right, what was remarkable was how inefficient a referee in the caliber of a Judge, Mills Lane, if I remember correctly, have missed those blatantly and inexplicably repetitive head butting on 'Iron' Mike.

    It was weird; most Tyson fans felt that there was a disparity in the level of officiating that was on display that night. Inexplicably too, the violations went on all night and only put to a halt once Tyson took it upon himself and taken steps to deliver the very first vicious thought that entered his mind... probably rationalized it as such as an act of self preservation towards someone administering a foul laden beating on him WITH THE BLESSING FROM THE REFEREE!
    Several attempts were actually made by Mike to bring the arbitrator's attention to the infractions, but to no avail. Clearly, the chomping of Holyfield's ear was a frustration move on the part of Mike Tyson. I remember in his loss the first time to Evander, he likewise attributed it later to the successive and unopposed head butting that he experienced. So by this, clearly in his mind, he would not have allowed the same infraction to cost him a victory. Kind of a fool me once... but not fool me twice kind of a scenario.

    I don't buy into that HOGWASH one bit!
