Im a fan of Iron Mike but I think you are right

He may have been fitter than the 1st fight but that wasnt his night and things werent going his way . He had a big effort at the start of the 3rd , but Evander soaked it all up and kept coming back at him . Mike just couldnt break his composure and with a cut aswel I think he panicked .

Had he not bit him , the fight pattern would have proably reflected the 1st fight but quicker . Logic suggests that bit by bit Evander would have broke him down , tied him up on the inside to prevent Tyson from working . Counter Mikes shots , force him on the backfoot and basically bully him around . I think by around the 8th Tysons best chance would have come and gone . Evanders body weight would be coming forward and Mikes demons would cave in on him around this point . He probably knew where it was heading halfway through the 3rd round of the 2nd fight and thats why he did what he did .
