    ?

    Tyson had a couple of moments in the fight,

    He landed a few bombs. And Holy must have one of the most underrated chins.

    Tyson, of course, claimed that whenever he stunned Holy, the headbutts came about.

    Tarver-Jones 3 was shockingly boring.

    It wasn't good but it wasn't that bad...Roy showed off some of the old Jones flash in the 5th and almost got stopped again late.

    Both guys were just outrageously tentative.

    Tyson had already been knocked out prior to that fight so it wasn't as shocking.

    And that is what made it nearly unwatchable.

    But at the same time, public perception was that Holyfield had no chance. He was like 34 and showed signs of decline for years. No one expected him to win, let alone stand and trade with Tyson and KO him late.

    And on the flip side, Tarver had already given RJ fits in their first fight.
