Did you buy into the idea that Tyson bit Holyfield's ear......

[Beanflicker]

think he bit his ear because he wanted out. If he was retaliating to the headbutts then he would have gone low or headbutted back. He decided to take a chunck out of his ear and didn't get DQ'd so he went and done it again. That shows he wanted out by making sure he got the DQ.

That seems like weird logic. If he wanted the DQ he probably would have went with a low blow or headbutt (more easily detectable than an ear bite).

He bit Holyfields ear because Evander clinched him after each headbutt, it was the only thing available.

Agreed. Im a Tyson fan but he wanted to get out of the fight. No doubt he waz angry but nothing was going his way. If he did it out of retaliation he woukld have done it straight after one of teh headbutts but he didnt. He tried to win in round 3 you saw how he upped his tempo but when that failed he tried to get himslef d.q'd.

I think its pretty clear when you watch the fight. When the 1st attempt didnt get the fight stopped he treied again then right on the bell he went for a 3rd attempt which showed he was going to keep trying to get out the fight until he got d'q'd

But with a headbutt or low blow he would get a warning then a point then DQ, Holyfield was getting away with the headbutts so tyson may have aswell so just to make sure he went with the ear bite which was clearly more detectable because of holyfields reaction.

Tyson was truly frustrated and made a bad choice and the referee was probably sleeping when he should have straightened out Evander and at least took a point to gain control of the fight. I'm sure Tyson didn't plan it the way it turned out and there was no ketchup or mayonnaise in his corner. Tyson as far as I am concerned was and still is emotionally immature. He made a mistake and now he pays for it over and over because he was deluded with false pride and his entourage filled him with incorrect logic.
