tyson holyfield 1

Tyson was scared and had a good cry about it. Despite being a professional boxer and the self-proclaimed "baddest man on the planet" he actually cried and said he couldn't go home with cuts because he might scare his kids.
Explain that. .........

Sounds like ****** talk to me.

Tyson = :|

PRIME Tyson cry in corner, cos he gettin' BULLIED by Old 'Vander. :|

 

:rofl

 

Headbutting is part of the game. Clashes happen in almost every fight.

Biting, does not. Mike knew what would happened. He'd had enough of the all around ass whupping he was taking. He took his out, cried to to his corner and the media about it, and has self-righteous fans backing him up.

Holyfield 2, Tyson 0. I'd rate elbows as the worse foul, btw. No chance of hurting yourself with one of those.

Btw, after each chomp, Holyfield wanted to keep fighting to punish Mike, and Mike kept biting, so the fight would end. How he got away with the first bite is a miracle, but that he bit again? Premeditated to get him DQed. Holyfield wanted after him the whole way.

 

Tyson cried in the corner for the Botha fight too. He was a mess after prison. If you watch the first Holyfield fight, he kept looking at Don King from the ring when things started going south for him, like it was Kings fault that he was getting his butt kicked.
Tyson was no longer a fighter after 91, completely different mental mindset compared to the Tyson who hung in and took his lumps against Ruddock even though his skills were in decline.

 

You and 'Foreman Hook' are nothing but two immature little kids who keep going on mommy's computer even though she told you to quit those shenanigans already.

You two should grow up and let the adults talk about the sport of boxing. Go spend your time watching a sport like Nascar or MMA, but leave the sweet science to the people that know how to appriciate it, kids.

 

Again, if Tyson did that because he was getting beaten, then why did he not bite Lewis or Douglass? Especially Lewis, he was getting a beating 10 times worse than the one against EVander. That is a fact, and he never did something like that to Lennox because Lennox was beating him without dirty tactics. Same goes for Douglass. There is obviously a connection here. it all comes down to retaliation for Evander Holyfield's dirty tactics.

 

I have no problem defending Tyson, but I think you are partly wrong here. Tyson did bite Lewis, at the press conference he wanted out of that fight before it even happened. I dont think Tyson thought he could beat Lewis, and he didnt care about the fight, he was there for the money, his legacy was no longer on the line.
With Douglas, I think he was trying to win the fight and it wasnt a close quarters wresting match.
Part of Tysons implosion against Holyfield, yes was caused from the butting, but it was also part frustration that he couldnt get anything done against him and Holyfield sending a statement early it was going to be the same fight. He felt in both fights once he was cut, he couldnt win for some reason. Just like the first fight, Tyson went downhill fast once he was cut, but that being said, had he cut Holyfield really bad, I cant see Holyfield biting him or trying to get out of the fight. Tyson just wasnt mentally prepared to fight a rough physical fight, and I dont think Tyson would have ever bitten Holy had that happend in the past, he would have butted and elbowed back.

 

Didn't Lewis hit Tyson first though? Tyson was approaching him but I could've thought Lewis threw the first punch. I still can't answer the part about Tyson and biting though. I respect Douglas, Lewis, Tyson, and Holyfield and am a fan of Holy & Mike. I agree that Tyson knew he was going to take a beating against Lewis, he was only in on the payday. Also, before the Holyfield fight Tyson had no one to push him like Ruddock did. He and many of the yes-men around him felt it was going to be an easy fight but it wasn't that at all. All guys deserve respect for fighting period and some people on here wish they had achieved what Douglas, Tyson, Holyfield, and Lewis have.(Yes Douglas' claim to fame was beating Tyson but how many on here did that in real life? My point exactly)

 

Tyson went after Lewis first and Tyson shoved one of his bodyguards. Either way, Tyson shouldnt have bitten Lewis on the leg, but who cares it was what it was. The Tyson ramble after the scuffle towards Scoop Malinowksi, also showed a lot of his insecurities at the time.. I remember Lewis making a big deal about it and taking pictures and going on talk shows showing his bite marks and that he was going to sue Tyson, and then all of a sudden silence. I guess someone filled Lewis in that was exactly what Tyson wanted to prevent the fight, and if he wanted the payday he better shut the hell up.

 

Good post.:good
I won money on Evander that night too.
You were there?Lucky guy.

 

No offense to you, you seem like a polite fellow. But saying I'm wrong while your whole post is filled with assumptions and going off of popular stories of Tyson..atleast my post was mostly factual. I mean I still have yet to see anyone disprove my argument.

It shows when you have to resort to examples that didn't actually happen in the fight itself. Tyson biting Lewis' leg? When did that happen during the fight? That's the whole point here. Did Tyson ONLY want a way out against Holyfield in the fight or was it mostly because he retaliated?

Honestly, would he have ever bitten Holyfield if Holyfield did not use any dirty tactics? Unlikely, he would have just taken the loss just like he did in the first fight, or the other WORSE losses he suffered. Of cource he was frustrated and was fighting out of emotions, but it is no coincidence that the only time he ever went this extreme was against a guy who was treating him like no opponent of his ever did.

 

Well I said I think your partly wrong. I do think Tyson wanted out of the fights yes but I don't think he would have bitten Holyfield had he not butted him. I think where most feel Tyson was out of line is that he was really good at throwing elbows and headbutting himself but when it was turned on him he couldn't hack it and took it to a level he knew would not be tolerated

 

Actually, I'm old enough to remember boxing before Tyson came along, and I'd guess that I know more about boxing, and more about Mike Tyson's career than you do. I dont even know what Nascar and MMA is.
Your comment that Tyson never headbutted shows your lack of knowledge on the subject.
And your excuses for why Tyson bit Holyfield are immature and childish, if anything is.

Tyson was far from the picture of a "tough guy" or the "baddest man" in both the Holyfield fights, especially the second.

He cried, resorted to biting like a girl, and made embarrassingly bad excuses ("what will my kids think?" ) for the repeated bites, which amounted to nothing more than a surrender and a baby throwing the toys out the pram when things dont go his way.

He whined repeatedly to the referee, and looked for the referee and his promoter for help in the first fight almost every time Holyfield hit him with a legal combination in the last few rounds.

These are just the facts.

I'm not saying Tyson was always that bad. But in the Holyfield fights he acted like a ***** just because Holyfield was being a bit rough and tough.

 

I agree.
After prison he had nothing mentally.

But he was always a bit weak mentally, and prone to frustration.
