Smh, he could have neutralized that like bowe, or dug deep like qawi, but tyson wasnt built like that so he got scared and looked for a wat out.
Its sad if you would imagine yourself bitcihing out like tyson would instead of overcoming.
Holyfield head was the reason he got bit tgat shyt was ridiculous how much he was leading with his head.
This unfortunately

I didn't say anything about bytching out but he would've got a low blow on some real shyt just to let him know. People react differently. Dude was notorious for using that bullet bill helmet as weapon remember how Hasim Rahman looked

we all know holyfield was a cheat dirty fighter.
that unless you know boxing.
to know the results of evander's grinding headbutts.
evander was looking to put a newborn intergalatic alien on mike head.
I don't think you can say anything other than.
both fighters were bending the lines of good faith and here we are.

You’re right....it was known that Holyfield’s head movement led to head butts. You know this in training. You see it when you watch film. You knew it from the first fight. Your defense for that is to bite a guy’s ear off?? To try and break the guy’s arm on a clinch?? Nah, man. I like Mike...particularly the guy he is now...but he ran into a guy that wasn’t scared, couldn’t seem to hurt, and that pushed him all over the ring. He got frustrated and acted like a hood nikka instead of a boxer. If that fight continued, Holyfield may have lost his composure and did something to leave himself vulnerable to get popped. But if that bite hadn’t happened, I felt he’d clearly win a decision if not get another TKO.

It was definitely the headbutts
Mike spoke about it on his podcast before
said he just lost it cause he felt Holyfield was fighting dirty

You right bruh I can't dispute that but also the ref has a responsibility to say something as well. And head movement And blatant headbutts are 2 different things let's keep it a buck
I watched the fight live and that was the most bizarre thing about the biting. Tyson was improving as the fight went along and then he just snapped.

Aint watched the fight in years...WOW brehs are right.
Tyson was actually winning that round when he bit his ears. Now whether he still would have lost the fight later on....
Still...that was just pure rage. Not quitting.
It just FELT like he quit cause of the previous fight.

.....because he apparently knew he was getting his ass kicked and copped out? I remember people making this claim which was totally ridiculous IMO.
This is the usual narrative every time this fight is revisited
I think Mike Tyson got frustrated because he didn't know how to work out on the inside, and because Holyfield head butted him blatantly multiple times, and the Popeye ref wasn't calling it. This lead to him flipping out. There was no "easy way out"
Nope. Holyfield's dirty ass head buts and elbows. That's what he gets.
