    against Evander Holyfield?
    Ive never seen that before except for Ali Liston of course. But definitely not twice with one fighter against big underdogs he was supposed to get out of there easily.
    Czyz made a bigger deal out of it, but i watched Holyfield Cooper last week and they were complaining about it in the corner as well

    They had roid dust in their eyes.

    Jk lol. There's no telling what it was but perhaps there is some truth to Holyfield putting something in their eyes. He wasn't exactly known to be a clean guy in the ring.

    I knew about the czyz fight but dismissed it as a one-off, but then i saw Cooper and his corner yelling about it as well between rounds

    Provably some vaseline from his head got into their eyes.

    I know nothing about this at all, but what if you salted the gloves? There would be nothing to find because you could write the effect off as sweat.
