Mike wouldn't engage in MMA.. his first obligation would be to boxing, he was too passionate for such a sport.. In Boxing he would damage anyone even in defeat.. Holyfield even got a hard bashing in his winning fights... Mike put that steel on you heavy.. Watch the first shot Mike hit Evander with in thier 1st fight.. Evander said it was sickening..
You say you trained with Tyson from 1996 to 2000(or at least in his training camp). And you seem to have in depth knowledge of what was going around Tyson back then. Well........what was the ear bite situation all about? Did Tyson ever explain it to you? or within earshot? Was he just pissed off? frustrated? Getting back at Holyfield? Was he regretful about it? Didn't give a ****? Are he and Evander now on good terms with no animosity between each other? What were his feelings and reactions towards it behind closed doors as opposed to all the PR bull**** and carefully fetted public statements? It would be very interesting to hear.
Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield because, he was being dominated. No matter where he took the fight, weather it was a boxing match..Evander Holyfeild dominated. Weather it was taken to the street...Evander Holyfeild threw him around dominated in clinches, psychologically he broke down. It was evident even in his prime, when things where going his way Mike Tyson psychologically become frustrated. He did it against Bone Crusher Smith, just because he couldn't get off in his work. Evander Holyfield, bullied Mike Tyson. Beat him up!
Well your input is nice but I'd like to hear from someone who was around Tyson at the time. He is probably a higher authority on the matter....
