Was Mike Tyson Right To Go that Limit ?
Ear Bite.. episode why this critical situation came
( On ear bit of Evandar Holyfield by Mike Toyson in the heavyweight boxing ring )
So called vicious as well as the most defame episode of World Heavyweight Boxing that one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of boxing history Mike Tyson compelled to bite his opponent Evan Holyfield’s ear. Yes why, why ,why?
It is because Tyson was so fiery and aggressive and it was difficult to beat or knock out in simple way. So the challenger E Holyfield floored ring with certain strategy. Yes Mike Tyson was brutal and mighty as well. E Holyfielder had known if the chance is given to “mr Iron” he would be pounded in a second only by a punch or hook. So he plotted not plan because there was a malice policy under his fight. That was not a fair fight by E Holyfield. Yes victory point of view it was okayed. But rivalry and fight point of view it was betray to the spectators. I am a big lover of heavyweight boxing and I am not bias to favour any body . Whoever wins there is no affect on me. But genuine fan of boxing E Holyfielder’s triumph isn’t digested me. I have observed all 11 rounds and only 11 found I found fair it is because E Holyfield knows that Mike is finished in the 10 the round and eleven is just formality. Though Mile bore all punches or blows boldly before the referee stopped the fight. Hollyfield’s ill plan had worked and he won the fight but not the hearts of the fans. Why this fight is undigested it is so because in the whole leading rounds E Holyfield fought less or blow less and swung on the rival’s body more. He made headbutt twice though referee adjudged it naturally or not intensionally. That headbutts irritated great Mike. He lost health due to it because hurt beside eye ah not by box but by head. Despite punching E Hollyfield swng and swung or hung and hung
intendedly yes to waste energy of Mike. All the time Mike advances or pounces to hit and Evan only answer helplessly to avoid or counter a bit. When Mike marched to blow Evan hung or wrap with Mike ‘s body . He dit it so willingly to stop ferocity of the Lion . He didn’t have gap when Mike came forward to hit the blow. If he goes back then Mike could lay full length blow. And Evan know his rival one blow can make difference any a time. Thus according to my view by observance of youtube video I feel this fight boring where one sided punches are blown while other side just reply. Not counter attack and self advance attack. Yes I too condemn great boxer Mike Tyson he has great potentiality to dust down the rival but he followed the same style and not change it to see the rival defensive and to thrash out the counterpart to fatigue and monotony or irritation . And the numbers of blows he hit but not at his stingy approach and accurate. He could not understood the challenger’s crafty plan and played at his natural speed. Boxing is might as well as the game of intelligence. And despite more powerful than his rival he been knocked out in the 11 th round. If Evander was indeed mighter than Mike then he had to finish the bout under 3 or 4 round but he wasn’t so he play trick or cunningness and succeeded in his plot . If this fight would take place when M Tyson was under 30 it is sure E Hollyfield would be knocked out by iron boxer in the minutes.
So by conclusion I do say the boxing association or world body must change the rule in this ill aspect. And if the opponent try to hang or embrace the body the point must be deducted. They must warn that any how you must try to hit the contender only by keeping two feet . Yes to keep the beauty of the fight. And avoid from such stainful incident like Tyson-Hollyfield. By irritation that the rival despite referee’s warning often hung on the body ,trap with the body.
