Was the first fight between Holyfield and Tyson and underrated fight?

Holyfield was extremely dirty, more than usual
Tyson is dirty also, but Holyfield bullied the bully

Tyson was obviously strong and good post prison, at least physically, but it was clear with 3 years inside he wasn't going to be as sharp

Ironically it was Evander who was assumed to be over the hill and mike was expected to blow him away

 

It was a very good fight that could have been better without all those clinches (especially during the second part of the fight).

 

That's one of the best fights of the 90's and one of my favorite fights to watch. I still have the PPV on VHS and still watch it from time to time, that's how great a fight it was imo.

 

same here, on both counts.

 

Honestly, I'm rarely a fan of fights that should have happened years earlier than the year they were actually made.

 

Far too much clinching for me I didn't overly enjoy the fight Barrera vs McKinney should've won the FOTY that year and was a far better fight.
