Tysons best round against Holyfield?

Round 1 or 5 if I recall of first fight

 

I haven't watched either in a long time. But the first thing I thought of was round 1 from fight one. Seems like he staggered Evander in the opening seconds. At that moment, it felt like it was going to be a quick night.

 

Yes he staggered Holyfield in opening seconds and he landed quite a few overhand rights in a competitive round 1. In round 5 another competitive round he hurt Holyfield with a body shot followed by an uppercut. A traditional combination of Tyson’s I felt it carried the round for him.

 

Round 3 of the second fight.

 

Whatever round it was that he bit Evander's ear off. He saved himself from the mother of all beatings by being DQ'd.

 

I haven't watched it in a while but wasn't Mike ahead of the scorecards during the 2nd fight?

 

I wouldn't have thought so. He was getting beaten up.

edit - I just checked the cards and Holyfield had won every round on all cards prior to the bite.

 

To my shame I have not watched the 1st fight. Was it competitive? Any fights you can compare it to?

 

He never had any real success, he didn't even put a dent in Holyfield, those fights ended him.

 

Round 5, first fight.

 

Round 1 fight 1

 

Fight 1 : round 1 and 5
Fight 2 : round 3

 

agreed.

Round 1 of their 1st fight was fairly even after Tyson landed the opening second bomb. Round 5 was the only decisive round for Tyson in either fight, where it briefly looked like momentum might be swinging his way before Holy retook command w/ a KD in round 6.
