Guys, having only been here a few months I've never discussed this with anyone because it was (shockingly) a good 11 years ago now since their last fight.
Last night I watched the 2nd fight again, and felt that after watching it, Holyfield delibrately headbutted Tyson in the lead to the cut. The way he leaned in did not seem like he was looking for a left hook. He didn't need to lean his head in that far. While I'm not excusing the actions of Tyson following this, do you guys feel Holyfield was completely innocent in what happened?
My mind is still undecided. I have often felt that Holyfield paints a picture of himself as somebody who'd never break the rules but on occasion, I can't help thinking that some of this could be bullshit.
Tell me what you think anyway, because I'm interested to hear what people thought about it.
