Tyson vs Holyfield II

[boxingbantz]

From wikipedia:

Tyson's former trainer, Teddy Atlas, had predicted that Tyson would be disqualified. "He planned this," Atlas said. "That's the only reason he went through with this fight. This was a charade so he could get out and live with himself as long as in his world he would be known as savage and brutal. In his world, he was the man who attacked like an animal and people would say he was trying to annihilate Holyfield, trying to kill him, when nothing could be further from the truth.

I'll be honest, I don't actually understand what Teddy was trying to say. He somewhat contradicts himself.

Edit - on closer reading, I think I get what he was trying to say. I think he meant that Mike knew that he was going to lose the fight (as spicoli said above) but, in order to still be seen as brutal and an 'animal', that he planned on getting DQ - so that even if he lost, he'd be seen as savage.

Or something along those lines.
