    i thought tyson was doing decent and it looked like it was going to be a better fight than the first.

    Tyson had a very bad cut above his right eye after another clash of heads... this fight should have been a no-contest because it occured in the 3rd round... very bad judgement from the ref... with a cut like that Tyson would have lose the fight so we know what happen next

    If the fight took place today, it would be ruled a NO-Contest. Tyson's cut was a bad one. I don't see how his cutman would have stemmed the bleeding much? It was above the Eye, so would have badly effected his vision the longer the fight went on.

    However, Tyson WAS getting to Holyfield in the third round, he lets combos go. The Cut is a massive Hinderance though.

    I had the fight a round a piece, & Tyson was clearly winning the third before he bit Holyfield!

    Tyson came to win and I think the fight would have gone a lot differently than the first, had he not been hit with a wrecking ball (Holyfield's head) at the most convenient times.

    Evander used that **** like a battering ram every chance he got. Every time Mike got anything going, Evander would go to his third weapon. Some people call that "standing up" to Tyson. :cool:

    Evander's great, but he's ****ing dirty. We don't know what would have happened, had there been some better refereeing in both fights.
