In mid 90s I was an amateur Greco-Roman wrestler (not good, not bad, but average). In one fight my opponent headbutt me (even if I didn't had any chance against him). It was like a train hit my head. So, headbutting Mike not once but five times gave a tremendous comparative advantage to Hollyfield. Evander showed better stamina, but headbutting is headbutting

It's against the rules same as a low blow or kick in the nuts....
Bullshit. No one else had problems with Holyfield except the fighter who dove in and was prone to clashing heads in Tyson. You nuthuggers are pathetic.

It's kind of funny with Tyson saying this was his first time watching replays of the fight and that "I'm starting to notice a lot of things here about Mr. Holyfield", but never says what.
That was Mike Tyson that came in with his head and didn't even have a punch behind it which I didn't even realize until they just showed it in slow motion. Holyfield was standing still when Mike Tyson head butted Holyfield. I'm sure you seen that but you to dishonest to admit it. That looked like a international head butt from Mike Tyson and he got the wrost of it. You just mad because Holyfield beat Mike Tyson up twice knocking him out the first time lol
Tyson was a master at mind games, he knew not giving Holyfield full credit by making out he couldn’t remember the fight was one of the only real ways he could get to him, seeing as he had no fear. Tyson was smart at this, he is basically saying a headbutt knocked him out in round one then he fought in instinct 😂 utter rubbish of course
Mike needed Kevin Rooney back. When they separated Mike became a different fighter. He wasn't as discipline nor utilizing the same techniques that made him great. That's clear by comparing his fights with Kevin oppose to not being with him.
Mike Tyson was an animal, and in his prime, he was formidable. He should have stopped with Kevin Rooney, who Cus D'Amato assigned, and he would have been a heavyweight champion for years, but when Don King and Robin Givens got involved it was all about money. After the Spinks fight, Tyson fired Rooney along with all other staff that comprised the Team Tyson from the beginning. The day Tyson fired Kevin Rooney, there was a cap put on Mike Tyson's development as a fighter. He did not develop anymore beyond that day.
Really interesting. And look how clever analytics was back then, not like today guys this bakar and another one from dazn, this steve something who screaming all the time and saying nonsense. Times changes.
Let’s be honest, they fought a weak Mike after jail and all. He lost a lot after cus died. All these things play a role. Because Mike is a sensitive person, so it affected him badly!
Holy was 4 years older than Tyson and was a 25-1 underdog and all boxing experts were saying Tyson was gonna knock Holyfield out and seriously hurt him. Stop all the fucking excuses
Cus died in 85, Tyson was actually said to be at his peak after he smashed Frank Bruno and became champion for a second time. Everything else is just revisionism from Tyson's fangirls
Them headbutts were fucking lethal! Jesus. The way Holyfield swung into full but. That's gotta take some damage like!! Anyone else would stop, Tyson kept going
It's SIMPLE why Holyfield wasn't intimidated by Tyson;he had to look FOUR inches downward to SEE him!! There simply aren't many 6'3"guys intimidated by 5'9 1/2"dudes.
Good sentiment, and goes to show holyfields heart was unconditional as he fought with the same bravery against riddick bowe and lennox lewis as he did tyson
Except Holyfield was SMALLER than Tyson. He weighed LESS and was TALLER, making him skinnier… That’s why Holyfield started wearing long shorts and high socks after his loss to Bowe, to give the illusion his calves are bigger than they are, and to hide his thighs…
@@lucasm3879Ok? How many times did Tyson foul in this fight? Once? Maybe twice? Evander got away with many headbutts and low blows and he didn’t do it just to Tyson, he headbutted many other fighters too.
@@AlexJasso100 If you actually watched Tyson’s career you’ll know he fouled in lot’s of fights Cus D’Amato even taught him tricks to get away with, it was all part of boxing to him. Tyson used to punch after the bell as well all the time. Also watch the interview in the ring after the first Holyfield fight - Tyson actually admits that he butted too, and it wasn’t the reason why he lost. He changed his tune when he realised he was going to lose again and needed an excuse.
@@josephrobinson5452 apart from that he looked much better in the 2nd fight than in the 1st one he was moving well and not loading up single bomb shots but still nowhere near the old Tyson of the 80s holyfield did butt him and there should have been a point taken away for that
@@muhyusuf1263 you sound like a Tyson fan. I saw Mike Tyson get knocked out by a hard hitting Holyfield and we both saw the same fight so it's clear that somebody is lying. Go watch round 10 at about 30 seconds before the end of the round and tell me what you see and just keep watching until the end of the fight lol. You going be mad for the rest of the day lol
EVANDER WAS A GREAT THINKER! TYSON WAS A FIRST HEAVYWEIGHT THAT WAS SMALLER THAN HE WAS,ANDHE WAS NOT AFRAID OF TYSON, UNLIKE OTHER HEAVYWEIGHTS, WHO WERE SCARED OF THIS MAN.
A lot o fight fans at his best post prison. WRONG Mike was already on his way down in the Ruddock fights, After Rooney left ,the old Tyson was gone. Tyson at 20 to 22 was at his peak.....ppl start talking Lewis won over a great Tyson ,a shell of Mike , Thats all. After and before Berbick Tyson was the best ever.
19:40 you can see mike Tyson adjusting his ear piece someone is obviously telling him how to answer these questions hence why he’s acting so weird in the interview and looking around constantly
It was a little of both.I think he suffered a concussion. After this fight there were more fights where Evander was accused of intentionally butting. Also I think butt or no butt he straight up won the fight. Tyson was in bad shape afterwards but he could remember more than what he says.
@@narro75 .. Holyfield was butting Tyson for sure! But to keep real, round after round, Holyfield was repeatedly knocking the shit out of Tyson with his Hands too! Up until this fight, Tyson wasn't accustomed to being hit to his Head so hard and accurately! Tyson was definitely concussed from Holyfield's Head! And his Fist!
Mike tyson is very smart saying i don't remember anything 😂😂 he doesn't want to admit defeat 😂😂 we love you mike even after you lose you're a winner 😂😂
He really didnt. Before Tyson he became undisputed cruiserweight champion and then undisputed heavyweight champion, having a pretty decent reign as champion. And not to mention his legendary trilogy with Bowe.
@@tonyh8965 He may have said that, but a fighter becomes legendary through the fans perception of him, not the fighters perception of himself. Holyfield was a warrior inside the ring, had great achievements and beat great people before Tyson. His fights with Bowe and the likes of Foreman were more legendary than his fights with Tyson, in my opinion.
@@patrickryce1225 foreman was 42 ffs. Ruddock at the time was seen as much more of a treat. George was largely laughed at… Holyfield only took that fight for a payday. Ok foreman proved to be tough older in age but this was not a peak foreman. It’s not better than Tyson’s win over Holmes who was 4 years younger despite what some argue. Holyfield arguably lost all 3 fights to Bowe, but yeah great fights. To judge Tyson on the Holyfield loss after 4 years and 3 months of inactivity between 91-95 & going into the fight 7 rounds in 5 and a half years is harsh. But for some bizarre reason people like to hate on Tyson. They ignore those stats as if he was prime & incredibly active. People forget going into Holyfield 1 he was 46-1 which is incredible considering his inactivity. Tyson deserves more respect,
Mike Tyson was an animal, and in his prime, he was formidable. He should have stopped with Kevin Rooney, who Cus D'Amato assigned, and he would have been a heavyweight champion for years, but when Don King and Robin Givens and her mother got involved it was all about money.

The day Tyson fired Kevin Rooney, there was a cap put on Mike Tyson's development as a fighter. He did not develop anymore beyond that day.
If you actually watch the first fight you notice, a bunch of clinching which made it pretty bad if you ask me. I know clinching is allowed and all that but it is very excessive.
@@narro75 I believe he was on them the majority of his career. The first time it was very evident was the Riddick Bowe rematch. He had heart complications in the ring during the Michael Moorer fight and retired afterward. He came back the next year and didn't look good because he wasn't on steroids. He looked terrible in the Bobby Czyz fight. Fast forward to the first Tyson bout. He was totally different, both in his physical appearance and in his performance. I believe he got on HGH. There's a lot of shady history with Evander Holyfield that we'll never fully know about.
He was working with Haney.. We all know the truth. If he fought Tyson when Cus or Rooney for the matter were around we may have seen a different fight .. Not that its Evander's fault more like luck of the draw or we can even Blame Tyson. With that being said as a boxing fan the one thing I've learned that greatness manifests during certain points and its so easy to defame any fighters career.
I watched both fights over 20 times and tyson didn't rip the body like he normally did...in the 2nd fight tyson hurt holyfield to the body early (I think 1st round) and didn't go back to it....
I believe Mike's lying through his teeth....he knew he was in trouble early and that's why he ran his eye into holyfields head intentionally hoping he would open his cut get the fight stopped and maybe get the decision if he was far enough on the score cards
The fact Mike Tyson did not know if he was winning or losing on the scorecards makes your theory hard to believe. Mike Tyson was not dominant enough in the early rounds to really be sure he was ahead on the cards...but who knows
By the time they fought mike mind and heart was else where . Lenox to they caught Mike at the right time the peak a boo style was long gone that I can't lose I refuse to lose mike was gone .
@@arejayene9535 nope. Mike admitted on his podcast with holyfield that holyfield isnt a headbutter and in fact tyson even admitted to trying to headbutt holyfield first🤦♂️ go watch mike and evander on hotboxing podcast then youll be humbled just like mike
@@arejayene9535 plus holyfield points out to mike, the fact that mike is shorter and you can see him on the replay jumping UP to headbutt holyfield except mike didnt realise it hurts him way more than it hurts evander 😂 when he realised headbutts cant hurt holyfield he switched to biting. Tyson is weak hearted
when u keep head butting someone, its not an accident; its a strategy. Evander probably could have still beaten Mike without cheating but we will never know
Mike Tyson is dirty himself he's hit people with elbows he did it to Tyrell Biggs and many other ones got away with it and people cheer him on Tyson is a dirty fighter he got a taste of his own medicine back with somebody that can Rumble that wasn't scared of him not one pitch Tyson knows that his his ego and pride was damaged and shattered worldwide Holyfield whoop that ass and he gave Mike Tyson a taste of his own medicine Holyfield was head-butting because Mike Tyson was being dirty to he likes to hit with elbows on a sneaky tip
@@echa_caldoholyfield got his ear bit because he was cheating again Tyson did justice to the most disgusting and pathetic cheater in the history of boxing you can't beat cheaters you do justice to them and that's exactly what Tyson did
He’s obviously being professional and not wanting to flat out accuse Evander of being a serial headbutter (which he was). Mike’s post-fight interview of the 2nd fight reveals his true feelings about Evander.
Evander definitely won both fights, but he did so by sneaking in purposeful headbutts again and again and again throughout both contests. He was just a master at the art of headbutting and getting away with it. He butted Lennox Lewis in both fights and got away with it and also butted the shit out of the late Michael Dokes and George Foreman, which helped him defeat both men. He was such a master at headbutting that both ringside commentators and officials alike just did not pick up on what he was doing. Evander should have been nicknamed the 'Ghost Butter' instead of 'The Real Deal'. Mike was smashed to pieces by Evander's headbutts in both fights. He never had a prayer. I don't condone him biting both of Evander's ears in the second fight but a couple of low blows to the nuts might have made Evander think twice about continuing with his skull crushing headbutts. But, alas, Mike snapped, his mind took a walk off the map and the rest his history. Evander got his two wins and paid for it with a piece of his ear. In the end, boxing was the loser because the boxing public got conned by a man who portrayed himself as God fearing and clean living when in reality he was just as dirty as any fighter who ever lived. But perhaps the saddest thing of all is that both these men squandered hundreds of millions of dollars during their careers and are now having to fight exhibition matches in their mid and late 50s to earn money to help pay the bills. How sad!
@@Narration___Nation Yes, he sure was. He probably started using them as far back as 1988 to enable himself to bulk up from cruiserweight to heavyweight. However, we will never really know because the media portrayed Evander as the cleaning living 'good guy' who could not put a foot wrong. In reality, however, the man was a dirty fighter who used every underhand trick to gain an advantage over his opponents. Sure, he was fit, motivated, determined and well conditioned but he WAS NOT A CLEAN FIGHTER! That's where most of the boxing public were fooled for the duration of Evander's 27- year-long pro career. 🥊
@@gwmba1989 he wasn’t using steroids since 1988. You can see the difference in his physic form teh 1st bowe fight to the last and it’s by a huge margin and that is near impossible to do if your not on anything. He was a good fighter but also dirty. He did a good job at block mikes hits just miek was very dazed to fight once he got hammered. People also say Tyson was in something when he was like that since he was around 12 so it’s genetic. If people say he was on something at 12 he was living in the streets he had no reason to use them nor did he even have access too them. He also admitted to doing drugs while boxing but no steroids
@@Narration___Nation Yes, that's the differece. Mike was a drug addict and alcoholic from a very young age. His mother used to give him booze to help him sleep at night when he was just nine years old. You can read all about Mike's problems with drugs, booze and women in his book: Undisputed Truth. It really makes for a fascinating read! Evander, on the other hand, did not drink, do drugs or smoke but he had problems with women and he used steroids as you say from around 1993 onwards. He was no angel but in the eyes of the media he was boxing's 'good guy' and Mike was the 'bad guy'. Evander used this 'good guy' image to his advantage because it helped him to get away with a lot of fouls such as head butting and low blows during his fights. I cannot recall a referee ever taking a point away from Evander for any of the fouls he committed in the ring. He was one of boxing's most protected fighters in that respect. I believe Mike would have beaten Evander by decision or by disqualification had points been taken away from Evander for headbutting Mike in both of their fights. Unfortunately the referees in both fights allowed Evander to headbutt Mike repeatedly without ever penalizing him. This is why Mike snapped in the second fight causing him to bite Evander. Mike lost because the boxing 'powers that be' wanted him to loose. He really and truly had no chance of beating Evander because both fights were unfairly officiated! 🥊

What quality fighter that was in their prime did Tyson ever beat? I mean real killers of Holyfield's caliber. Name ONE
@@ronjones3184 prime mike still better than everybody
It's kind of funny with Tyson saying this was his first time watching replays of the fight and that "I'm starting to notice a lot of things here about Mr. Holyfield", but never says what.
That was my biggest take on anything he said.
Yea I think he was talking about the headbutts
Mike's first time watching the replay was to be expected . Seeing that he had his ass kicked lol 😆
@@mosesu1839 You have no fucking idea what he was talking about
Great upload thanx
Mike just couldn’t believe what was happening. 😂😂😂
Mike didn’t want to go over that fight blow by blow. Tyson still one of my favorite fighters ever! #pleadthefifth
Mike Tyson is lying and everyone knows that including himself. I guess he doesn't remember nothing in the second fight either huh!
Holyfield biggest Weapon is his Head
That was Mike Tyson that came in with his head and didn't even have a punch behind it which I didn't even realize until they just showed it in slow motion. Holyfield was standing still when Mike Tyson head butted Holyfield. I'm sure you seen that but you to dishonest to admit it. That looked like a international head butt from Mike Tyson and he got the wrost of it. You just mad because Holyfield beat Mike Tyson up twice knocking him out the first time lol
@@josephrobinson5452 even Lennox said Holyfield was Training Headbutts with a Tire around the Sandbag
@@josephrobinson5452 and why do u think he was tyrna headbutt and not punch in the first place. Cause Holyfield was and was pissing him off
Tyson was a master at mind games, he knew not giving Holyfield full credit by making out he couldn’t remember the fight was one of the only real ways he could get to him, seeing as he had no fear. Tyson was smart at this, he is basically saying a headbutt knocked him out in round one then he fought in instinct 😂 utter rubbish of course
Mike "I don't remember" Tyson😂😂
"This is a really bizarre dilemma right here" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mike needed Kevin Rooney back. When they separated Mike became a different fighter. He wasn't as discipline nor utilizing the same techniques that made him great.
That's clear by comparing his fights with Kevin oppose to not being with him.
Mike Tyson was an animal, and in his prime, he was formidable. He should have stopped with Kevin Rooney, who Cus D'Amato assigned, and he would have been a heavyweight champion for years, but when Don King and Robin Givens got involved it was all about money. After the Spinks fight, Tyson fired Rooney along with all other staff that comprised the Team Tyson from the beginning. The day Tyson fired Kevin Rooney, there was a cap put on Mike Tyson's development as a fighter. He did not develop anymore beyond that day.
Really interesting. And look how clever analytics was back then, not like today guys this bakar and another one from dazn, this steve something who screaming all the time and saying nonsense. Times changes.
Holyfield won the interview too.
😆
Lol
Let’s be honest, they fought a weak Mike after jail and all. He lost a lot after cus died. All these things play a role. Because Mike is a sensitive person, so it affected him badly!
MY BROTHER in Christ everyone has thier problem days no need give reasons
Holy was 4 years older than Tyson and was a 25-1 underdog and all boxing experts were saying Tyson was gonna knock Holyfield out and seriously hurt him. Stop all the fucking excuses
Lmao shut up. Mike got whooped.
@@patrickhunt6055 true, no need for more talk. Everybody has his opinion ain’t it.
Cus died in 85, Tyson was actually said to be at his peak after he smashed Frank Bruno and became champion for a second time. Everything else is just revisionism from Tyson's fangirls
I can’t believe the shots Holyfield took from Tyson. And Tyson as well from Holyfield
What the hell was wrong with Vollmer? Scoring 4 rounds with 10-10.
Don King. He knew Evander was about to ko Mike, and was hoping if it get to a decision Mike would win on a split.
Hey Mike what do you thing of the fight? ....Who's Mike?
Evander is head butting him the whole time in this clip
Exactly‼️
M y name for Holyfield is cheat
Them headbutts were fucking lethal! Jesus. The way Holyfield swung into full but. That's gotta take some damage like!! Anyone else would stop, Tyson kept going
It's SIMPLE why Holyfield wasn't intimidated by Tyson;he had to look FOUR inches downward to SEE him!! There simply aren't many 6'3"guys intimidated by 5'9 1/2"dudes.
holyfield was bigger than tyson and out boxed him when mike gassed out.
Good sentiment, and goes to show holyfields heart was unconditional as he fought with the same bravery against riddick bowe and lennox lewis as he did tyson
I seen holyfield in person, he didnt look no more than 6'0"
Except Holyfield was SMALLER than Tyson. He weighed LESS and was TALLER, making him skinnier… That’s why Holyfield started wearing long shorts and high socks after his loss to Bowe, to give the illusion his calves are bigger than they are, and to hide his thighs…
One word: steroids
This was in '96 when Mike Tyson still lived in that beautiful mansion in Southington Ohio.
Evander is so confident and cool, a pro
Earth wind and fire should do the interview and just sing do you remember.
Tyson should never have been counted in the 6th round in my opinion.
It wasnt a slip, it was a result of a punch so it is a knock down whether he was off balance or not
@@bobber0623 I don't agree .
@@issaal-andaloussi1202 What does it matter Tyson got his ass knocked out anyway.
Shoutout the great Ron Borges, the only scribe who predicted Holyfield would win the first fight.
Savage fight
mike: i dont remember anything
me: do u even remember u had a fight?
I dont know, feels like holyfield plays it dirty, especially with the headbutts
It’s very noticeable too. The whole time he’s shoving head
Tyson fought dirty plenty of times in his career. He used to hit after the bell all the time.
@@lucasm3879Ok? How many times did Tyson foul in this fight? Once? Maybe twice? Evander got away with many headbutts and low blows and he didn’t do it just to Tyson, he headbutted many other fighters too.
@@AlexJasso100
If you actually watched Tyson’s career you’ll know he fouled in lot’s of fights
Cus D’Amato even taught him tricks to get away with, it was all part of boxing to him.
Tyson used to punch after the bell as well all the time.
Also watch the interview in the ring after the first Holyfield fight - Tyson actually admits that he butted too, and it wasn’t the reason why he lost.
He changed his tune when he realised he was going to lose again and needed an excuse.
Someone needed to tell Mike its okay to lose. Its not a crime. You dont have to deny knowledge of everything that happened.
Tyson showed no skills in the 1st fight in the 2nd he looked better
In other words you saying he looked like he had more skills when he bit Holyfield ear off right?? Smh
@@josephrobinson5452 apart from that he looked much better in the 2nd fight than in the 1st one
he was moving well and not loading up single bomb shots but still nowhere near the old Tyson of the 80s
holyfield did butt him and there should have been a point taken away for that
@@josephrobinson5452 Holyfield's strategy,he headbutted Tyson also did low blows, then started to throw some punches , very dirty
@@muhyusuf1263 you sound like a Tyson fan. I saw Mike Tyson get knocked out by a hard hitting Holyfield and we both saw the same fight so it's clear that somebody is lying. Go watch round 10 at about 30 seconds before the end of the round and tell me what you see and just keep watching until the end of the fight lol. You going be mad for the rest of the day lol
@@josephrobinson5452 you didn't watch anything ,nice joke lmao
That rug doesn't look very expensive
Well for a few fighters to say holyfield headbutts them lewis. foreman, rahman was the worse
That Rahman head butt was RIDICULOUS. Evander is the most Prolific head butter of ALL TIME.
EVANDER WAS A GREAT THINKER! TYSON WAS A FIRST HEAVYWEIGHT THAT WAS SMALLER THAN HE WAS,ANDHE WAS NOT AFRAID OF TYSON, UNLIKE OTHER HEAVYWEIGHTS, WHO WERE SCARED OF THIS MAN.
A lot o fight fans at his best post prison. WRONG
Mike was already on his way down in the Ruddock fights, After Rooney left ,the old Tyson was gone. Tyson at 20 to 22 was at his peak.....ppl start talking Lewis won over a great Tyson ,a shell of Mike , Thats all. After and before Berbick Tyson was the best ever.
Mike remembers everything apparently
"I don't remember."
Mike is always honest
19:40 you can see mike Tyson adjusting his ear piece someone is obviously telling him how to answer these questions hence why he’s acting so weird in the interview and looking around constantly
Either Mike is lying not remembering. But If what he says is true. Than it's sounds like Mike suffered from a concussion due to the headbutts.
Headbutta all day
It was a little of both.I think he suffered a concussion. After this fight there were more fights where Evander was accused of intentionally butting. Also I think butt or no butt he straight up won the fight. Tyson was in bad shape afterwards but he could remember more than what he says.
Notice @ 4:53 and @ 5:18 Holyfield Head Butted Tyson on purpose!
@@narro75 .. Holyfield was butting Tyson for sure! But to keep real, round after round, Holyfield was repeatedly knocking the shit out of Tyson with his Hands too! Up until this fight, Tyson wasn't accustomed to being hit to his Head so hard and accurately! Tyson was definitely concussed from Holyfield's Head! And his Fist!
@@narro75
True. Tyson wasn't the same fighter he used to be. Since Custamato died and then firing kevin Rooney and family...
Evader is a nice guy. A great champion
After recovering from his head injury from the head butt what’s the story for the rematch
9:08 holyfield is a dirty fighter
Stick the story Mike ‘ I don’t remember’ 🤪
Heads were too much from Holyfield. So what Tyson decided to do was right 100%.
Cause he complained to the refferee, nothing was done. 11:04
Truth is. Tyson was perfect for holyfield.
I didn’t know Tyson was winning on the score cards
He wasn't he won some rounds. And the rounds were very close. But Holyfield won overall.
Evander is so respectfull here, while Mike just played mindgames from Holloway, King and Horne kitchen...
Amir khan said the same thing after the maidana fight he didnt remember any of it...
He was on drugs, that's why he can't remember anything.
He was on probation and checked for drugs monthly idiot. He was beat the Hell up. That's what happened.
No 😂
Is Tyson wearing Sonny Crockett’s shoulder holster rig?
Mike tyson is very smart saying i don't remember anything 😂😂 he doesn't want to admit defeat 😂😂 we love you mike even after you lose you're a winner 😂😂
tyson was a class act, unlike lennox lewis
Wish we got to see them fight in mid- late 80s when Mike was at his peak. Still think Holyfield would come out on top tbh.
Holyfeild was using steroids period
yes he was abusing steroids and HGH
Score card postive for Mike Tyson
Does anyone else get the impression that Steve Albert doesnt like Mike? Lol
Tyson was already a legend. Holyfield needed Tyson to become one.
He really didnt. Before Tyson he became undisputed cruiserweight champion and then undisputed heavyweight champion, having a pretty decent reign as champion. And not to mention his legendary trilogy with Bowe.
@@patrickryce1225 he stated himself he needed Tyson to cement his legacy as a heavyweight.
Great fights with Bowe, but lost 2 & arguably the 3rd.
@@tonyh8965 He may have said that, but a fighter becomes legendary through the fans perception of him, not the fighters perception of himself. Holyfield was a warrior inside the ring, had great achievements and beat great people before Tyson. His fights with Bowe and the likes of Foreman were more legendary than his fights with Tyson, in my opinion.
@@patrickryce1225 foreman was 42 ffs. Ruddock at the time was seen as much more of a treat. George was largely laughed at… Holyfield only took that fight for a payday. Ok foreman proved to be tough older in age but this was not a peak foreman. It’s not better than Tyson’s win over Holmes who was 4 years younger despite what some argue. Holyfield arguably lost all 3 fights to Bowe, but yeah great fights. To judge Tyson on the Holyfield loss after 4 years and 3 months of inactivity between 91-95 & going into the fight 7 rounds in 5 and a half years is harsh. But for some bizarre reason people like to hate on Tyson. They ignore those stats as if he was prime & incredibly active. People forget going into Holyfield 1 he was 46-1 which is incredible considering his inactivity. Tyson deserves more respect,

عفيه أيها البطل الحقيقي والتاريخ يشهد لك

I dont remember anything 😭😭😭😭😭
Perfect left hand puts him down . Was pushing tyson off like tyson was a child. Holyfield just had the tools to deal with tyson. It is what it is.
If you actually watch the first fight you notice, a bunch of clinching which made it pretty bad if you ask me. I know clinching is allowed and all that but it is very excessive.
Reporter to Holyfield: What was your strategy :
Holyfield inside : Excessive head butting
Evander was on steroids
I remember hearing HOLY got caught using PEDs I didn't know when .
@@narro75 I believe he was on them the majority of his career. The first time it was very evident was the Riddick Bowe rematch. He had heart complications in the ring during the Michael Moorer fight and retired afterward. He came back the next year and didn't look good because he wasn't on steroids. He looked terrible in the Bobby Czyz fight. Fast forward to the first Tyson bout. He was totally different, both in his physical appearance and in his performance. I believe he got on HGH. There's a lot of shady history with Evander Holyfield that we'll never fully know about.
Dude Tyson was too and every other top athlete. Grow up
He was working with Haney.. We all know the truth. If he fought Tyson when Cus or Rooney for the matter were around we may have seen a different fight .. Not that its Evander's fault more like luck of the draw or we can even Blame Tyson. With that being said as a boxing fan the one thing I've learned that greatness manifests during certain points and its so easy to defame any fighters career.
Biggest cheater in boxing
Nice try Mike. You remembered every round. lol
I watched both fights over 20 times and tyson didn't rip the body like he normally did...in the 2nd fight tyson hurt holyfield to the body early (I think 1st round) and didn't go back to it....
Holyfield sounds like a true warrior
I believe Mike's lying through his teeth....he knew he was in trouble early and that's why he ran his eye into holyfields head intentionally hoping he would open his cut get the fight stopped and maybe get the decision if he was far enough on the score cards
The fact Mike Tyson did not know if he was winning or losing on the scorecards makes your theory hard to believe. Mike Tyson was not dominant enough in the early rounds to really be sure he was ahead on the cards...but who knows
headbutt holly
Holyfield looks like a cop
6.57 u c a headbutt.
I don’t remember anything
By the time they fought mike mind and heart was else where . Lenox to they caught Mike at the right time the peak a boo style was long gone that I can't lose I refuse to lose mike was gone .
Holyfield fought really dirty he is warrior but he is dirty in his still against Tyson and inside because everyone think he was on PED.
27:05 careful what you wish for mike. You got that rematch and got humbled again
Mike was coming on in the third; same as the 1st fight in the 5th. Too bad they didn't fight in the early 90's like they were supposed to.
Get off mike nuts
Got headbutted again....and again.....and again
@@arejayene9535 nope. Mike admitted on his podcast with holyfield that holyfield isnt a headbutter and in fact tyson even admitted to trying to headbutt holyfield first🤦♂️ go watch mike and evander on hotboxing podcast then youll be humbled just like mike
@@arejayene9535 plus holyfield points out to mike, the fact that mike is shorter and you can see him on the replay jumping UP to headbutt holyfield except mike didnt realise it hurts him way more than it hurts evander 😂 when he realised headbutts cant hurt holyfield he switched to biting. Tyson is weak hearted
That time mike was without his team hi was on wrong way !!!
when u keep head butting someone, its not an accident; its a strategy. Evander probably could have still beaten Mike without cheating but we will never know
Lmao what the f ever. Holyfield outboxed him in every way. Much better fighter.
Mike Tyson is dirty himself he's hit people with elbows he did it to Tyrell Biggs and many other ones got away with it and people cheer him on Tyson is a dirty fighter he got a taste of his own medicine back with somebody that can Rumble that wasn't scared of him not one pitch Tyson knows that his his ego and pride was damaged and shattered worldwide Holyfield whoop that ass and he gave Mike Tyson a taste of his own medicine Holyfield was head-butting because Mike Tyson was being dirty to he likes to hit with elbows on a sneaky tip
@@echa_caldoholyfield got his ear bit because he was cheating again
Tyson did justice to the most disgusting and pathetic cheater in the history of boxing
you can't beat cheaters you do justice to them and that's exactly what Tyson did
@@patrickhunt6055Yea, he out-boxed him after wearing him down w his bowling ball of a head
First round for Holyfield is bullshit!!! Which fight the refs look????
Even Tyson uses the word clashes of heads in the sixth not head butt
He’s obviously being professional and not wanting to flat out accuse Evander of being a serial headbutter (which he was). Mike’s post-fight interview of the 2nd fight reveals his true feelings about Evander.
He guaranteed victory
Can you throw a superman punch in boxing?
He was off balance
Evander definitely won both fights, but he did so by sneaking in purposeful headbutts again and again and again throughout both contests. He was just a master at the art of headbutting and getting away with it. He butted Lennox Lewis in both fights and got away with it and also butted the shit out of the late Michael Dokes and George Foreman, which helped him defeat both men. He was such a master at headbutting that both ringside commentators and officials alike just did not pick up on what he was doing. Evander should have been nicknamed the 'Ghost Butter' instead of 'The Real Deal'. Mike was smashed to pieces by Evander's headbutts in both fights. He never had a prayer. I don't condone him biting both of Evander's ears in the second fight but a couple of low blows to the nuts might have made Evander think twice about continuing with his skull crushing headbutts. But, alas, Mike snapped, his mind took a walk off the map and the rest his history. Evander got his two wins and paid for it with a piece of his ear. In the end, boxing was the loser because the boxing public got conned by a man who portrayed himself as God fearing and clean living when in reality he was just as dirty as any fighter who ever lived. But perhaps the saddest thing of all is that both these men squandered hundreds of millions of dollars during their careers and are now having to fight exhibition matches in their mid and late 50s to earn money to help pay the bills. How sad!
He was also on steroids
@@Narration___Nation Yes, he sure was. He probably started using them as far back as 1988 to enable himself to bulk up from cruiserweight to heavyweight. However, we will never really know because the media portrayed Evander as the cleaning living 'good guy' who could not put a foot wrong. In reality, however, the man was a dirty fighter who used every underhand trick to gain an advantage over his opponents. Sure, he was fit, motivated, determined and well conditioned but he WAS NOT A CLEAN FIGHTER! That's where most of the boxing public were fooled for the duration of Evander's 27- year-long pro career. 🥊
@@gwmba1989 he wasn’t using steroids since 1988. You can see the difference in his physic form teh 1st bowe fight to the last and it’s by a huge margin and that is near impossible to do if your not on anything. He was a good fighter but also dirty. He did a good job at block mikes hits just miek was very dazed to fight once he got hammered. People also say Tyson was in something when he was like that since he was around 12 so it’s genetic. If people say he was on something at 12 he was living in the streets he had no reason to use them nor did he even have access too them. He also admitted to doing drugs while boxing but no steroids
@@Narration___Nation Yes, that's the differece. Mike was a drug addict and alcoholic from a very young age. His mother used to give him booze to help him sleep at night when he was just nine years old. You can read all about Mike's problems with drugs, booze and women in his book: Undisputed Truth. It really makes for a fascinating read! Evander, on the other hand, did not drink, do drugs or smoke but he had problems with women and he used steroids as you say from around 1993 onwards. He was no angel but in the eyes of the media he was boxing's 'good guy' and Mike was the 'bad guy'. Evander used this 'good guy' image to his advantage because it helped him to get away with a lot of fouls such as head butting and low blows during his fights. I cannot recall a referee ever taking a point away from Evander for any of the fouls he committed in the ring. He was one of boxing's most protected fighters in that respect. I believe Mike would have beaten Evander by decision or by disqualification had points been taken away from Evander for headbutting Mike in both of their fights. Unfortunately the referees in both fights allowed Evander to headbutt Mike repeatedly without ever penalizing him. This is why Mike snapped in the second fight causing him to bite Evander. Mike lost because the boxing 'powers that be' wanted him to loose. He really and truly had no chance of beating Evander because both fights were unfairly officiated! 🥊
