--------
Evander Holyfield discussed his boxing journey and the pinnacle of that journey being his long-awaited fight with Mike Tyson. Prior to facing Tyson, Holyfield defeated Bobby Chess with a swift knockout in six rounds. He shared his perspective on Mike Tyson about his fighting style and the tactics he followed during the matches. Speaking candidly about his boxing style, Holyfield commented on Mike Tyson accusing him of intentional head-butting, noting that, in the intensity of the fight, such collisions happen. Remembering his victorious bout with Tyson on November 9, 1996, he noted the 5 to 1 odds in Tyson's favor didn't deter him. Holyfield's victory over Tyson made him the first individual after Muhammad Ali to win the heavyweight championship three times. Despite having other notable fights in his career, he conceded this was his greatest victory, second only to making the Olympic team.

Before anyone says "it wasnt the same Tyson." Well, it wasn't the same Holyfield either. I'll add this as well, Holyfield was always going to beat Tyson and if Evander fought Lewis in Holyfields prime, Lewis would have gotten Ko'd or stopped. No questions asked.

[@sheldoncooper0]

LOL, timing matters... If Holyfield fought Tyson in the 80s, Holyfield weighed only 170 lbs while Tyson weighed naturally 250lbs and had to LOSE weight to come in at fighting weight of 220.... If Holyfield fought Lewis in the 80s, he would've lost as well. Lewis is a natural super heavyweight that is a whopping 6'5... When he trained for fights he still came in at 250lbs, imagine his usual walking around weigh he'd probably be 300lbs +....

[@TheChismFamily]

So my feeling watching this fight several times is that this was Evander's way of dissuading Tyson from coming in hard and fast throwing combos. He'd just lower his head and move forward and generally speaking, their heads would clash. He wasnt specifically headbutting Tyson, he was just moving into that open space where they would likely clash heads, that was his defense against the Tyson charge. It made Tyson not want to charge in, cause he didnt want to smash heads.

He also ignored that the 6th round headbutt was a result of Tyson launching himself into the side of Holy's head like a f'n battering ram in a eay that would make Victor Ortiz blush. But Holy gets the bad rap thanks to excuse makers Horne, Holloway, and King.

But I have fast hands, and I hit hard...can Mike take what Evander do?" LOL.

Without Holyfield there was no 90s HW Boxing. He is the ONLY one who gave the sport credibility. Bowe, had potential but he was wild n CrAzY & so was his whole crew, you didnt know what to expect when he was in town but you knew it was gonna be chaos.

Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Using a tire to “condition” your skull for headbutts..lol

Evander " I say I say I say" Holyfield

[@borood1188]

Tyson was the dirtiest fighter head butter in history. Only cried about his head butting when he got the worst of it.

every move you make in the ring is with intent

Most repeated phrases " I say, I say" " the big thing is" " my mama" " at that point " " fact of the matter" Feel free to add to this.

I like holyfield he's a good man ...but he definitely headbutted the crap out of tyson ...several times...completely negated Tysons explosiveness ..the ref should have been held responsible for not doing there job

[@billdouglas8701]

Holyfield’s counterpunching and height-reach advantage is what completely negated Mike’s explosiveness. In the very first round, Holy has already completely stymied Tyson’s forward march. And the referees did do their job; their call was that the cuts were the result of “accidental headbutts.” Halpern and Lane had the closest view of anybody in the arena, and that was what they saw.

@@billdouglas8701 every combination holyfield threw began with his forehead . Last person I saw use there head so effectively was andre ward in the super six tourney...you need to rematch

Rewatch

[@anthonypalmer8714]

I just now went back to the video on KZbin and literally in the first 10 seconds ...the very fist exchange tyson lands a right hand holyfield stumbles to the right tyson advanced and holyfield ducked down and came up with a head but to tysons face....in the first 10 seconds there second exchange ...and then again dozens of times over and over again

[@billdouglas8701]

@@anthonypalmer8714You’re just going to call every clinch and every instance in which their heads even touch while fighting on the inside a “headbutt.” Would you prefer for Holyfield to keep his chin up in the air and get knocked out? Again, the ref is just a few feet or even inches away, and they are not seeing what you are claiming to see.
