    I saw it in a packed bar in upstate NY. Still remember how shocked I and many Tyson fans were. What a stunner. Love both guys.

    What a great victory added to a already impressive resume.

    Do anybody know what the odds were before the fight?

    Not of the top off my head, but Evander was a heavy underdog.

    Something like 9-1 (or was it 6-1) for Mike to win.

    It was 7 or 8 I think.

    I was at a party off-campus at Rutgers watching that fight, tripping my face off.

    I was telling everyone how there was no way Holyfield would win!

    My greatest night as a boxing fan!

    Evander exuded confidence from the time he was in his dressing room, right through the staredown, where he actually made Tyson turn his head and blink!:yep

    What a night to be an Evander Holyfield fan that night!!!!:happy

    Who remembers the theme of the night in Evander Holyfield's corner that night thoughout the fight?

    Fair play. A post prison Tyson though, may I add. Great win for Holy though.
