    I watched this fight the other day, out of curiosity. I had forgotten how one dimensional Tyson had become, he was a shadow of his former self and really wasn't in shape to expend all the energy necessary to make it a competitive fight.

    At the time I felt Holyfield was a spent force, looking bad defeating Bobby Czyz, and terrible in the 3rd Bowe fight.

    However, I also thought Tyson was pretty much a 5 round fighter, and after that could be taken.

    I wasn't sure who would win, but I wasn't buying the Tyson hype either.

    So I liked Tyson early, and Holyfield late.

    Yeah, he was basically a low-energy Bert Cooper at that point in his career.
