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.

We ppv'd it as well...I had a similar feeling as you. The time they had fought before, Holyfield really landed a lot of good punches on Tyson, and you just had the feeling he would NOT let that happen again...I could see some groin punches to DQ himself, but, bite an ear off??? That's savage shite.

Tyson freaked out when Holyfield was headbutting him and getting away with it.
