Holyroid head butted the entire fight

@@illmatic826Mike Tyson has you all in his palm. Headbutts thrown yes but what about Tyson’s elbows? Tyson was notorious for catching people with elbows. Can’t dish it out and not take it

Yup, and in R6 Tyson goes in with the most obvious headbutt out of frustration of being outboxed, and comes off worse. Tyson later admitted to this. Yet still the whiney Tyson fanboys claim ‘Holyfield butts’ no, he was just better.

​@Wise Man he did headbut you whimp

@@bumface1810you need to sort yourself a bit. Holyfield is a known head butter in many of his fights. There’s an art to sneaking that stuff in and making it look accidental. Evander slips a head butt in then follows immediately with a low shot to distract from the butt. It’s a practiced movement. He used it about 20 times in the second fight with Mike.

​@@Beer-can_full_of_toesHis headbutts did not stop Moorer, Bowe or Lewis, but they just affected Tyson? Please. Beat Tyson easily, both times.

@@rodneywilliams1300 they didn’t stop Mike either. They just pissed him off and he reacted way worse than the others who just took it. I wasn’t arguing about head butts ending a fight like with a KO or any shit like that. I’m telling you that Evander Holyfield was a skilled head butt to low blow boxer in many fights.

Indeed

Agreed

True! It's just a shame that Mike couldn't see it🤦🏾‍♂️ things could have unfolded differently

It all went downhill when he started fighting actual opponents

@@cial67 😅 Careful you'll show your boxing ignorance

Count the headbutts. I'm at about half way through and Holyfield has gotten at least 3 major headbutts in. When they come together Evander lowers his head hoping for a headbutt.

@@yearight5303 if youre headbutting someone, isn't their face going to be a bloody mess.. espeacially if your 220lbs shredded with a big bald head, Yes holyfeild was rough with his head and was well known for it, yet it didn't stop lewis, bowe and moorer from beating him did it. tyson fans always looking for excuses.

@@yellowmanz614 Umm no thats not how headbutting works. Being 220lbs has NOTHING to do with a headbutt WTF LOL??!! Further, lewis and Bowe were WAYYYYY taller than Tyson which completely changes the dynamic of the headbutting. What are you even talking about besides "Me no like Tyson hurr durr". Besides the headbutting, Holyfield didnt fight Tyson. He LITERALLY spent the WHOLE fight holding Tyson nonstop.

It's like someone said in these posts. Once Kevin Rooney was gone it was over before Tyson even got in the ring with Holyfield.

​@@yellowmanz614It's all right there in the video. Lol. Can't just ignore what Evander was doing. Every time the ref says "Watch the heads" it's because of him. There are whole video breakdowns of all Holyfields headbutts and low blows.

UFC fighter

I agree. We are all “ boxers” in reality. Muhammad Ali taught me that.

He had very legitimate health issues too. He had hepatitis as well and literally collapsed in the third Bowe fight. Most fighters could have never come back like he did. His will was unlike anyone else's. It was near superhuman.

Holyfield in his prime Lewis would have been stopped or ko'd.

He never had a heart attack. He was having palpitations. His doctor back then, after assessing him said his symptoms were common with the use of HGH Human Growth Hormone. This is factual the doctor was on tv back then in 1994 i believe. After he stopped using he came back with this 'Jesus Saved him and cured him nonsense'. He apparently continued using but lower dosage. You can see he used his appearance, especially Tyson through to the end of his career was completely different, his head was bigger which again is common.

They are not straps they are belts

his so called heart issues were due to his crazy steroid abuse. Hes a cheater and should be ranked. Evan Feilds. LOL

When does he bite his ear?

@@DannyCosmos 2nd fight.

I’m a believer too and I grew up as a pastor’s kid watching boxing on three video cassettes in the 90’s. God bless you bro 😎

@notgnisae Thank you. May God bless you also. Before KZfaq, I had at least one box of vhs tapes filled with fights I recorded.

You can see him head butting Mike and hear it

holyfield was physically stronger because he was abusing all sorts of PEDs and drugs holyfield is a proven PEDs abusing cheater and a shame to boxing, he's a disgrace to the sport Tyson did justice to this pathetic disgusting cheater in the rematch

They were all in shock.

The commentating was seriously biased for Tyson.

Yea U are right bro.and he really missed Gus really bad poor Gus I didn't no he was Italian American great dad to Tyson peace ✌️

Here we go with excuses. People say he was Tyson when buster stopped him.

He really does not look anything like the fighter who beat Rudok 2 times .And he had slipped even at that point.91-2 .but this ,he's missing rights like a kid fighting at school.When he lost his corner he lost his family and the intangabills (the unbreakable will) to keep that presser on.

@@evanbarr9270 He should of tried another line of work then. I have need heard more excuses for any athlete in the history of sports like the excuses for Tyson. Its sad because people saying he would of did this and that but he didnt beat one A level fighter in his career except a old holmes who was coming off a two year layoff and with a 2 weeks notice.

@@rafiqwashington9126 Tyson fought top level fighters defended 9 times against top level heavyweights what he acomplished just in his 1st reign was enough to put him in atg group of fighters .Holmes wasgood enough to beat Ray Mercer after Tyson beat him .the competion when Tyson was fighting was fierce .

Yeah real class. A rapist who then bit off Holyfield's ear in the next fight.

@joeblow2069 you can read right? It says the way he handled that post fight interview

@@BasilFomeen Don't cry about it. I would never associate the words total class with that man.

Mike always clinched when he got frustrated. Against big men he could t bully, especially when he got lazy in the latter part of his career.

Holyfield was a great clinch fighter. He hurt Tyson when he tied him up and that seriously turned the fight in Holyfield's favor. I don't think a fighter has ever rocked Tyson with good clean shots the way Holyfield did. Tyson never really hit Holyfield clean after that first right hand right after the very first bell. After round 4, Tyson was out of tricks and out on his feet by round 11.

@@MichaelWorthy25 I recall him hitting Holyfield with a clean right uppercut later in the fight and he barely blinked. The same punch that Bowe KOd HF with in their third fight. It was the classi right to the body right to the head signature of Mikes. That and the very first punch are the only ones I can remember him landing clean. I think Holyfield hurt him more than most was the speed of his punches. Holyfield could throw fast combinations like the best of the them and Tyson was barely used to one punch coming back to him let alone 3 or 4. Before he could slip them easily but he had almost zero defence at Thai’s point.

@@fromunderthekilt6310 You're right. Holyfield ate up Tyson's shots like vending machine snacks and kept coming back for more. I think by round 4 Tyson knew he was in too deep and wanted out. But, the writing was on the wall by then.

@@MichaelWorthy25 100%. I’ve always been a fan of Mikes and always will be but he’s incredibly overrated and probably the weakest mentally of any heavyweight champion. The Bite fight exposed him completely. You can’t hide from who you are in the ring. It’ll show you for what you are, a tough guy, a coward, dirty, cheating, lion hearted. That night was the real deep down ghetto Mike who grew up the scared little boy being bullied on the streets, the guy who Rob old ladies and beat people up later for their chains. That was the real Mike and I have no time for that man. Yes today he has changed and has become a very positive person. But he still most definitely has that side to him, and it drives me nuts when people call him this super intelligent messiah like genius who will spout life lessons and anecdotes. He just parrots what he reads. None of what he says comes f from his own head. Yes he’s a smart guy but most of what he talks about isn’t that deep. Saying things you’ve read in books doesn’t make you intelligent, just means you have a good memory. And the frequency in which he breaks down in tears at the drop of a hat, talking about how “If that old Mike came back, hell would be coming with him….” Nonsense. He showed us that side of him already and like the fighter, he was just a bully who thrived of people fearing him. Never if that Tyson did come back, what would he accomplish other than getting himself arrested or killed. He’s kinda become a parody of himself now and I just can’t take the guy seriously anymore. I he’s a very fascinating person but definitely not as deep and intellectual as people paint him. His fanboys paint him as this God like superhuman but he’s just a guy who was raised in a terrible environment, for while at least. He always talks about being raised on the streets, and that may be so, but at 13 he was rescued and adopted by Cus, who took him aa way from that. Even when he went to prison, it was mostly full of young white kids who were in for drugs etc. it’s was t like he was sent to Rikers Island or San Quentin or any dangerous as hell place like that. He is life from 13 onwards was very pampered and safe, surrounded by people who cared for him and kept on the straight and narrow. It was purely by his own stupidity that he would go back to the ghetto or bring the ghetto mentality with him everywhere else and get into fights, grab women and generally act like a pig. Especially after he lost to Holyfield and when he fought Lewis. That version of Mike was absolutely abhorrent and disgusting and I’m genuinely perplexed that people just overlook those years and paint Mike like he’s someone to look up to and emulate. Even now he still says some stuff that is pretty crazy but thankfully it’s very rare. I guess it’s mostly young clueless guys who never lived through his career who just think Mike was this God amongst men when that simply wasn’t the case.

exactly lol

but in this fight, Holy isn't dirty and not fair play, always hug Mike to prevent the attack. It's not fair!

You mean upload?

He definitely knew what he was doing. He was playing the victim the entire time. “he was butting me, my kids are gonna be scared of me”with a little cut on your eyelid.?”, he’s been butting me for two fights, he quit, he didn’t want to fight, but I’ll fight him right now….” Should his mentality was that of a bully when he came out of prison. He won every fight post prison through fear alone. Once he met someone who didn’t fear him, he folded. He fought terribly when he came out of prison. He was the same fighter physically but not mentally and fighting is 80% mental. He was the weakest fighter mentally out of all the heavyweight greats. Even in his prime he would get frustrated and clinch aLOT, especially if he couldn’t KO someone early. Without the fear factor, Tyson just wasn’t the same fighter. He acted like a coward in this fight. You get purposefully DQd, then say you want to fight the guy??? Why didn’t you fight him when you had the chance?? He did, well he tried, but Holyfield was just too good for him. Holyfield fought the perfect fight against Tyson. Never backed up once, pushed Tyson back and kept him on his back foot, where Tyson was never great at because he never had to. He was so aggressive and scary everyone backed up away from him. His style was made to be aggressive. He was a fantastic defensive fighter in his prime but as soon as he stopped working on defence he didn’t have one. He could slip a punch or two yes but not a combo from he likes of Holyfield, who was always a brilliant combo puncher. This fight showed the world the Tyson of old was gone forever. I’d have KILLED to see this fight when they were both in their prime. Tyson maybe would’ve taken it then, but we’ll never know. Remember Holyfield took George Foreman’s punches, so I’m pretty confident he would’ve been able to take a prime Tysons. It was Tyson speed that knocked out most. You never seen his punches coming. Tyson style, mentality, outlook etc, was never meant to last long. He was like a shooting star who burned out as quickly as it peaked. Boy he was fantastic to watch back then, but I truly believe in any other era, he wouldn’t have been as successful as he was. Ali would have schooled him, Foreman would have destroyed him, even Frazier maybe. He was just way too small for those guys. Look at Tysons record…..every great fighter he fought, he lost to. His first 30 pr so fights were against journeymen and nobodies. He was fed tomato cans till he fought Berbick, who wasn’t exactly amazing in his own right. He struggled with an old Larry Holmes until he caught him. Holyfield beat him. Douglas beat he shit outta him and Holyfield beat him easily. He struggled with Ruddock because of sheer size and power, in which the first fight which was one of the worst stoppages in boxing. Don’t get me wrong he had a great chin, but he didn’t take many hard punches by big punching fighters because he was so good defensively. Bruno hurt him, Ruddock hurt him, Douglas knocked him out. Tyson was amazing for the sport when he appeared because the Heavyweight division had basically died when Ali retired. It was an incredibly weak division in his era. He was incredible to watch no doubt, but Mike is one of the most overrated fighters in the heavyweight division. Ali vs him would have been a joke.

@@fromunderthekilt6310 that is a good Tyson post, fairly balanced, maybe a little critical but the points are hard to argue with. I'd agree he was a complete bully post prison and he relied on his reputation. I thought he was pretty much a con man, mentally ruined, humiliated by prison and didn't really care. he had me fooled with the new measured Tyson attitude but it all fell apart after Holyfield. I never really forgave the ear bite, I'd never been so disappointed by a sporting event. but as I said, Tyson was smart, he knew he would rather been seen as a monster than a loser, and to this day I don't think he really faces that, he comes near to it but then goes back to the "I was crazy". I think he was perfectly sane and knew by ending it like that, his fans would give him an out. I cant argue with him being weaker minded than other greats, but its easy to forget how young he was, like 19, 20 at champ level, how could he have that lived in toughness? I don't think Tyson was without some grit though, he did show toughness in loss against Buster, he continued until he literall could not, he also got a KD. and against Ruddock he was nearly out at one point in that rematch, but he maintained his desire and kept going until he won. I think with Tyson it was a case of him being so physically gifted he didn't need to high echelon mental strength. I believe he could beat most the old greats apart from Ali, Foreman, Holmes and maybe a few others, and that's not bad. Foreman against Lyle showed me that George just would hammer Tyson until he won, Mike just didn't have that fortitude when under that type of pressure. At the end of the day I rank him the most exciting heavyweight of all time, but at the lower end of the top 10, or even 15 overall. Thank for a great post

@@ritchski1 thanx man. Appreciate the kind words. I completely agree with everything you said. Oh I definitely was t saying he didn’t have grit. He took a BAD beating from Douglas and never gave up. Pre prison he had a great chin and had no quit in him. I’ve never seen a fighter yelp or say “ow” when getting a cut worked on, both which he did against Holyfield and Lewis. He took a good beating from Lewis too but I think that was just him on auto pilot knowing he had to take it and not quit as he knew he had lost everything and the only he had left was his ego. And without doubt he was the most exciting heavyweight ever……but definitely on the lower end of all time Heavyweights. It’s good to read someone’s opinion on Tyson who actually knows his career and not just a fanboy who thinks he was Superman. He was just way too small for the big greats. Even Cus used to day he wished Mike was built like Ken Norton as if he was he would’ve probably been undefeated and he best of all time. But what would have been and what was are different things and it just wasn’t meant to be. Everyone would says “if Cus didn’t die etc, or if he didn’t go to prison or took training seriously yadda yadda yadda…”…..part of being a fighter is being disciplined. It was Mike himself who chose to leave Rooney, chose to join Don King, chose to surround himself with YES men and not train. Chose to hire trainers who had no idea what they were doing. That’s all part of being a professional fighter. He wanted to be in control of himself and he was. He engineered his own downfall and that’s his own fault. It would have been great to see what he could have accomplished if Cus stayed with him through his whole career, but honestly, I think Mike would have ended up going off the deep end regardless. Once he became champ, he did the worst thing anyone can do…….he started believing he was invincible, which nobody truly is. I personally am glad Cus died when he did because if he saw how Mike ended up I think the shame would’ve killed him.

Bro, been looking for that song for years 😂

If you Shazam the song, you might be able to find out.

💯 Facts! The ref definitely earned his check that night, he did a great job by the way.

Kid, find better heroes.

Another Tyson romantic saying bupkis.

yeah i was just thinking how its such a shame that happened but now on in the comments seems to realize how big it was. plus the head clashes

This wasn’t exactly Holyfield’s prime either.

delusional nonsese. tyson was the same here as before.

I know right. It was absolutely thrilling how Holyfield just held Tyson all night obviously wanting a dance partner instead of a boxing opponent.

@@morrnmanderson7376 i guess you didn't take that as smart boxing?

And Rocky Marciano if I spelling is right peace ✌️ Joe the Italian Australian peace ✌️

Yeah, Holyfield wasn't going for none of that foolishness, ain't no getting around The Most High, he kept on giving him the praises, in the Name of his Only Begotten Son "Yahawashi Mashayach. Kal = All, Halal = Praises to, YAHAWAH = Our Heavenly Father, Bahasham = in the Name of, Yahawashi, Mashayach = The Only Begotten Son, Anointed.

that's because holyfield wont go back. tyson needs his opponents to run from him to do his thing and holyfield wont let him.

What was it?

@@brianrobinson8289 I'm asking. Shazam doesn't know it and Googling the lyrics aren't working lol

I know you are asking. I’m asking too!

Tyson wanted out. Holyfield had his number and Tyson fanboys know it.

Yes true gladiator

Steroids make the heart bigger.

Nothing but facts. But, the Tyson fanboys will say otherwise, because they love his power and speed, but not his new-found humility. Tyson even admitted that Holyfield beat him (twice). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iuCnhKWD3pq3j6s.html Tyson accepted it and moved on. The fanboys haven't. That says a lot about who the so called fans are. Tyson can tell the fanboys in his own words that Holyfield beat him and they still won't listen. Tyson fanboys are as bad as Don King.

@@MichaelWorthy25 100%. Most people get carried away when they talk about Tyson, yes the man was an absolute animal in his prime but it was an extremely short prime where his calibre of fighters just weren’t that special. Yeah he could only beat the guys in front of him, but he didn’t fight a lot of fighters that may have given him trouble. Lewis, Tommy Morrison, Foreman, Bowe. All those guys would have given him trouble, mostly Lewis Bowe and Foreman due to their shred size and strength. Mike was very lucky he was in the era he was, as it made him look way better than he actually was. When people say Tyson is the best fighter ever, I have to laugh. He’s not even the best Heavywight ever, not even close. People just see his highlights and think he’s unstoppable and it was only because Cus died he fell off, but I believe even if Cus lived and he stayed with him for his whole career, with Rooney training him, he still would’ve ended up being beaten because he wasn’t disciplined enough for a long career. The man was basically an alcoholic during his entire career. He lacked the mental toughness it takes to keep training hard daily like he did at the very beginning. His ego would’ve eventually come out regardless and it would’ve ended the same way. Even if Holyfield and he fought in his prime, I still think Holyfield would’ve beat him. Evander wasn’t intimidated by anyone, had a granite chin and a will to win more than any other Heavyweight I can think of. And that goes back to my first point, as soon as Mike realized he wasn’t gonna lay down and get blown over, Mike would have got frustrated and either lashed out, or knocked out. Its crazy how Tyson himself said Evander and Dougles won fair and square but his fanboys will say the complete opposite and Tyson is basically The Hulk and could’ve beaten anyone, even Ali, which is a joke. Ali would’ve played with Mike.

@@fromunderthekilt6310 Yes sir. You better preach. And another thing while we're on the topic: I won't take anything away from Mike Tyson. He's a changed man far from the troubled brawler he used to be. I will say that he was warned by Cus to stay away from boxers like Holyfield, but I guess he needed the money. Fanboys like to say that Holyfield was juicing, but they don't like to talk about how Tyson admitted to using other people's urine to pass drug tests. Plus Holyfield fought Riddick Bowe three times and Holyfield fought George Foreman. Tyson stayed away from Bowe (with good reason) and he openly refused to fight Foreman, because fighters like Ali, Foreman, and Bowe were trained to wreck guys like Tyson. Even David Tua would have been a decent match, but Tyson avoided him too. I'm agreeing with you that with Tyson, there was a lot of hype because he sold out fights and he put behinds in seats. No doubt about that. Also, most Tyson fanboys don't know or understand that Holyfield had Tyson's number even back int eh early 1908s. Holyfield asked Tyson if he wanted to spar at Olympic Training Camp and Holyfield had Tyson in the corner and Tyson couldn't get out. They had stop top the session because Holyfield was going to hurt Tyson. I'm glad somebody understands boxers and how all of this works. Everything you said above is true. Even Tyson admitted that he wouldn't stand a chance against Ali. Ali would have toyed with Tyson and finished him off in round 10 or 11. Bowe would have jabbed with the left and finished Tyson with a overhand right to his head. Foreman would have jabbed, straight right cross and blocked Tyson when he came in. Tyson fanboys just don't know, nor do they want to know. But that's why true boxing fans except reality and the reality is Tyson was a brawler, but Holyfield was a technical fighter who was trained to wreck boxers who did the things that Tyson did in the ring. But again, even if Tyson says it in his own words, the fanboys dismiss it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hs1znph4rq63f5s.html LOL. Anyway, good post above bro. Facts all day.

@@MichaelWorthy25 most definitely brother. Hey out of interest, who you picking for tonight’s fight against Haney and Loma?

@fromunderthekilt6310 ...Thank you for your honesty! Honesty is the best policy. Tyson would have never defeated Holyfield.

@@inevitableexpertise1016 Whats to Cry about Tyson confronted him with that on his Hot Boxing show. Even Evander admits he was doing exactly what I called him out on.

@Daoloth PTSD Anime Manga Satire OVR Evander beat Bowe too and Evander beat Lennox, something Tyson couldn't do.....Evander also eat Buster, also something Tyson couldn't do.

@Daoloth PTSD Anime Manga Satire OVR Excuses are for losers and you sure have plenty of them.....Keep crying the fix was in, You'll get over it

Yep. Looked like he caught him right behind the ear and momentarily messed up his equilibrium. I remember watching this live and thinking it was going to be another Tyson first round KO. Credit to Holyfield for weathering the storm.

@@MG-cd7wi he definitely could take a punch ...from tyson and foreman, lewis ect ...he had a great chin

he was 4 yrs younger than holy field nd hadn't been in the same wars as holyfield. holyfield was always better then Mike, tougher with more heart.

Holyfield had 3 wars with Bowe and is the only one who has beaten Bowe. Holy would have won the 3rd fight if his heart was right.

Holyfield is not in his prime here, he is older and beaten down.

MIke's problem was he abandoned .. what Cus D'amato had taught him . He's standing flat footed right in front of Holyfield , and throwing one punch at a time . Holyfield was a smart fighter , and timed Mike's shots . Rooney would of had him moving his head and elusive .. and using combinations not just one shot that's easier to block . And also had working the body . Mike's ego got too big and he thought he didn't need that style any longer . He was wrong

​​@@SJ-ty5rw All that Cus/Rooney stuff is bs. The style could beat fringe contenders but not championship caliber fighters. Patterson in the 50s. Torres in the 60s. Mike in the 80s. Those are long times between champions for such a "great" trainer. Most of you guys are Tyson romantics. He was slipping before he fired Rooney's overrated azz.
