Tyson and Holyfield one on one after first fight

It's not uncommon for guys to claim having no memory of certain segments of a fight or even the entire fight after that point. It does seem a bit strange in this case.

 

Have any of you been 12 rounds?

I have talked to guys who have- you would be surprised what some men don't remember.

 

I remember watching that fight live, I was stunned, that was Holyfield's best performance. It's sad what has happened to him recently, getting beaten in under a round by an MMA fighter.

 

The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. He may well not have a clear memory of events, due to the experience. However, that it was repeated over and over; given various angles of perspective, implying he had been impaired from round-3 onward, along with the constant references to March, points to this being a hammed up promotional appeal for a rematch.

 

I remember Evander himself a while ago saying he doesn't remember most rounds of any fight.

 

Tyson was parroting sort of what Joe Louis had said I believe after Max Schleming hurt him early in their fight.
