Bite Of The Century: Tyson vs Holyfield 2

Lost my appetite after that bite

 

Holyfield didn't know he was on the Menu that night

 

Mike got a earful that night.

 

How dare Holyfield try to win vs the great "Alexander" Iron Mike, undisputed king of the Brooklyn slums ?

If i was the cops that day, i would have taken Holyfield in custody for unfair competition and crowned Mike rightful ruler of USA ad vitam eternam.

 

So was Tyson wearing his mouthpiece when he bit Evander? If so, that's impressive.

 

Ah, good catch. But still, how does one bite with a moutpiece? They're specifically designed to be smooth so as to not irritate your own mouth.

 

yes, he was wearing it. Showtime did an epilogue on the fight, it's somewhere on youtube and it proves Tyson had his mouthpiece in when he bit Holyfield both times.

 

I don't blame Tyson for getting angry about Holyfield headbutting him all the time, no wonder he snapped! Did you see how many headbutts Holyfield landed?

 

I was like a 5 year old, watching this on some random couch at an engagement party for a family friend. I knew nothing about boxing but ****ing idolized Mike Tyson for some reason. Evander’s headbutts were bull****, I remember even as a child I understood this. I could never blame Tyson for what he did

 

I fight like that now, if I get close enough I'll take a bite out of anybody.

Unless they stink or look dirty, who wants a mouthful of earwax?

 

very true. watch from 3:45 onwards

He bites, spits out a part of the ear and then comes the mouthpiece (due to the force of the spit most likely). So he had it in when he bit.
