On this day in history, Mike Tyson bit off a chunk of Evander Holyfield's ear

On June 28, 1997 Iron Mike didn't like the direction the fight with Evander was heading, and DQ'd himself by biting off a chunk of ear cartilage. Was this an example of roid rage, or Mike's version of a temper tantrum a la "taking your ear and going home"?
All these years later, though, I have got to tip my cap to Tyson...he seems...rather normal.

My greatest sports prediction of all time. I hosted a watch party at my house, and in front of everyone there I predicted that "something weird is going to happen, like a disqualification" when asked my thoughts on the fight.
Holyfield beat the crap out of Mike the first time around. If it started to happen again, I just figured Mike would find a way to retreat and go home.
But biting a chunk out of Holyfield's ear? I would NEVER have guessed that shite. That was almost too left-field for even someone like Tyson.

I'm one of the few on here that watched that fight live.
