Reality Hit Home Regarding the GREAT MIKE TYSON Story

[boxingbantz]

You mean this headbutting? It's absolutely absurd that you're trying to justify Tyson BITING Holyfield TWICE in the same round.

I'm not justifying it. Just saying I can see why Mike got a bit pissed off - I don't condone the biting though, obviously.

Oh, and for the record, that footage is from the first fight - not the fight where Tyson bit his ear.

He got pissed off because he headbutted Evander and it didn't work so he bit him?

Not in that fight, no.

Another noticeable thing in the fight, the second one, which is obvious after watching the first one is that Holyfield clearly understood that Mike lead with his head so he kept his own down as to possibly catch Tyson and make him cause the collision of domes. Either way the butts were clearly caused by Tyson not Evander.

That's fair enough mate, I'm not saying Evander deserves to have a chunk of his ear bitten off. I just thought, in the second fight anyway, Evander was leading a lot with is head and spent most of the fight burrowing his head into mikes (which eventually cut). The fact of the matter is, anyway, Mike knew he was gonna lose the fight anyway and probably premeditated the biting.

Edit - you do have a valid point by the way, thinking about it.

So you say that Holyfield seeing how Tyson comes in decided to lower his head so that his head would butt with Tysons chin so he'd catch him with it. But in the same sentence say that the butts were caused by Tyson not Evander? So basically if Evander didn't lower his head to intentionally cause the top of his head to hit Tyson coming in that Tyson still would have been headbutted? Tyson always leaded with his head, Holyfield made the decision to lower his head so he could butt him intentionally with it using Tyson's force to cause it.

If Wladimer Klitschko fought Cris Arreola and Cris came in with his head, if Wladimer decides to lower his head to catch Cris's coming in, is it because of Arreola that the headbutts are happening? or is it because Wladimer lowered his head to ensure that it happened?

Lewis also complained about Holyfields head and you only need to look at what the drug cheat did to Rahmans head to see what a filthy, scummy, little girl cheater he is

The point I'm making is that if Holy knew Tyson was going to lead with his head so he put his down in order to fight fair I guess. Head vs head then it was smart because clearly Tyson was the one ended up being cut. So it was a bad strategy on Tyson's part, but then you say Tyson always lead with his head so how could that be Holy's Fault because he lowered his head to keep from being butt in the face. So he has a harder head, oh well. Of all the "unintentional" butts in the fight, the intentional ones were by Tyson where he wasn't even throwing a punch.

What's funny is that Tyson is a notorious bully in the ring then when he "gets" it back everyone screams foul..I've seen him unprovoked try to break guys arms in the ring. All of his trainers each have said that he's a bully that when someone stands up to him he backs down and the way evander kept shoving him around the ring and outboxing him caused his flip outs not the "Evander headbutts"
