How or why did 'Tyson' snap to embarrass himself in 1997?

Folks,

I just reviewed my tapes' of BOTH "Tyson-Holy" fights of 1996 / '97, and I am curious as to why Mike Tyson was so gracious and classy in defeat following his 11th round TKO loss to Holy in '96, but then became an erratic and moronic ******* during the 3rd round of his 1997 rematch fight, plus the aftermath, following Mills Lane stopping the farce of 1997.........

Come fight # 1, Dr. Ferdie Pacheco was already stating that Tyson was stifled and frustrated as early as the 4th round of the initial fight in 1996.... Maybe so, but Tyson never lost control of his emotions there..... Even after Holy dropped Tyson with a hook in round 6, Tyson still mainteined his composure.....

SO! Why the hell did Mike Tyson FREAK OUT in 1997 as early as the 3rd round against Holy in Las Vegas???
:huhatsch:shock::admin:hat

I thought that too..... But during the post-fight interview with Jim Gray in 1996, Tyson said graciously that he too was guilty of butting heads with Holy........ He simply accounted the loss to being beaten by a great fighter---HOLY!

Come 1997, Tyson's attitude and true colors surfaced to the boiling point and he snapped...... Something else is there to cause that effect.....

MR.BILL:good

 

I'll tell you this, I will blame a certain amount of the problem on his degenerate team at the time...... John Horne, Rory Halloway and Ritchie Giachetti, along with Don King, are NOT the most diplomatic and caring people in the world....... And the post-fight rant with John Horne following Tyson's DQ loss to Holy in 1997 only shows what kind of co-manager he was---A MORON!!

At least Cus D'Amato, Jimmy Jacobs, Bill Cayton and Kevin Rooney knew how to contain Tyson and truly watch-out for his flaws and keep his mental approach from surfacing........

I sense the 'Ghetto' and 'Hood' was always in Tyson, but Cus and the initial team knew how to handle Tyson and keep him in line....... Except for Teddy Atlas....... Atlas is also a hot-head and his insight probably would've proved fatal had he remained on the team..... Cus was wise to catch on to that scene and release Atlas from the Catskills.....

By late 1989, Tyson was being controlled by King and useless dicks like "Horne and Halloway," amongst a few other turkey's lurking in the shadows milking Tyson's wealth...... Come the 1990s, Tyson professional focus had gone south.........

MR.BILL:deal

 

So, its cool that Tyson makes history in the ring by biting the tip of Holy's ear off?

MR.BILL:huh

 

I was a HUGE fan of Tyson until he started fighting dudes like "Norris, Francis, Savarese, Golota and Neilsen." It was during that time (1999-2001) that I actually saw Tyson as a faded fighter who merely still had a punch in his arsenal, but little savvy or technique left-over from his peak of 1988...... Tyson looked like a dick after round 2 with Lennox Lewis in 2002...... The rest of his later activity was a mere circus act........

His (Tyson) conduct was DEFINATELY spontaneous against Holy in '97...:good
