3:37-3:38 -- lol I'll never forget Holyfield's cornerman tackling him; he knew it was a damned close fight, and he didn't want Evander getting penalized even one point and losing the decision ... w that and the parachute man, ... a classic rivalry for boxing fans!
Not as great as the first fight but Holyfield fought smarter, staying on the outside, never getting hurt, and letting the overweight Bowe tire after 4 rounds. It was all even after 11, but Bowe came back to win the 12th, with Holyfield now tired. The more decisive rounds go to Holyfield (5, 6 and 8), but they were not dominant rounds. Overall, I have it 6-5-1 Bowe, with Bowe winning 1-4,7 and 12, Holyfield winning 5,6,8,10,11, and 9 was a draw. 115-114 Bowe on the 10-point-must system.
@opera123able You are a liar period! Shut the fuck up if you do not know what to say. Holy is the man and your Tyson ran from holy with his tail in between his legs just as he bowed before Douglas. Stop your prime prime rubbish! you suck!
Yeah right, 'Holy is the man'. Thats why he got easily beaton by Chicken Licken Bowe in 1992 and TKO'd by him 1996. Michael Moorer in 1994 and he was outboxed twice by Lennox Lewis in 1999.
He cheated against Tyson by constantly using the 'Holy Head Butt', which he tried and failed to use effectively against Lewis.
Holy's best wins as a heavyweight were against Fat jelly bellies George 'Full Fat Milk' Foreman and Buster 'Fry's Burgers' Douglas.
Tyson lost his temper,not from fear of being beat,but because of holyfields tactics.Everytime in the 3rd round when tyson nailed holyfield,holyfield countered with low blows and butts.I mean its a fight,THEY'RE tying to part each others hair with each punch,NOT US.The theory tyson wanted out of the fight in fear of losing,is destroyed by simply WATCHING the 3rd round.Why would a guy try to get out of a fight to save himself a beating,when HE'S giving the beating?!Never understood that one.
lmao@ the dude in the Bowe vs Holyfield black T Shirt , standing to the left of Evander........that's my nigga Sam from Morningside High School, in Inglewood, Ca ......my nigga stayed drunkl . Look lit there too
hahahha man u can clearly tell holyfield was scared of tyson when he fought him...holyfield gave tyson to much respect....but here look at holyfield hes fighting bowe even after the bell he knew if he did that against tyson, tyson wud eat him alive great fighter tho
@fktheworld1 haha you think that holyfield was scared of tyson to hit him after the bell no way this riddick bowe would knock yout Tyson to meaby earlier
@EvanderHolyfield7 haha ur such a faggot....go watch tyson vs holyfield again....holyfield was too scared to hit tyson after the bell...and the 2nd fight when tyson bit holyfields ear, holyfield tried to come back at tyson and tried to talk shit then just truned around like a pussy and tyson even pushed him and holyfield just pussyed out....cuz he knew tysons a beast and wud kill him go watch it u pussy hole
@EvanderHolyfield7 Totally agree. Although I hate Bowe, he would have smacked Tyson around. I figure it would be similar to the thrashing Lennox gave him. Holyfield was not scared.
he mightent been the biggest or best but holyfeild
was the best heavyweight to watch he fought wars and still going bowe was never the same after these fights which is a credit to how tough holyfeild is.i feel sorry for bowe how he ended up if he had holys will he could of been up there with louis and ali
I just want to say when I watched this back in the day I had Holyfield winning by 2-3 rounds
Bowe did a lot of cuffing behind the head Holyfield threw the crisper punches all night. I also thought Bowe was pretty lucky to get the 20 min break in the seventh because Holyfield was starting to take over & had Bowe rocking at the end of the 6th & bowe was starting to really puff. When Holyfield was coming on strong. Great fight though Holyfield a true Warrior.
i agree with halleck3 a saw 115-113 Holy and i must thanks for Bowe and Holy they gave me best fights what i ever seen (i think only first and second fight , the third fight i dont like because Evander couldnt show us everthink what he could on account hepatitis A)
Close fight, one of my favorite ever, Evander got fouled badly in the twelfth, that's why he fired that overhand left after the bell, hard rabbit punches and low blows from Bowe in that round
First time I watched this (back in 93), I thought Holyfield clearly won, but here I scored it round-for-round and I give it to Bowe 115-113. Very close fight, could've gone either way.
.Hey that's an impossible scored count. Maybe what you meant was 114-114. Then maybe you got something there, but, It was clearly a victory for Holyfield
"would have" but DIDN'T because it's impossible to tell. People, boxing, everything evolves. What works then is a metagame of that era, and will change with generations.
Grow up. And if Bowe was over rated (undefeated and then beats holyfield who u say is under rated for the title) and hes 2-1 vs holyfield, your logic is pretty off balanced.
Wow you are a sensitive soul. Isn't everyone allowed to have there own opinion? I never understand why people like you have to become abusive on you tube? Aren't there more important things going on in the world and your life than to get angry about?... rather than a comment about a boxing match on you tube? I could say "get a life" but I'm sure you'd j just get angry again... so I'll say to you, "you're entitled to your opinion"
IF FIGHT GOES TO 15 ROUND I HOPE BOWE WON THE FIGHT...OVERALL DRAW FIGHT

Classic fight this one, although both these guys were overated in my opinion.
Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson in their prime were the true kings of their generation.
Riddick Bowe was perfect prey for Lennox Lewis, and Lewis would have KO'd Bowe within 6 rounds - thats why Bowe ducked him.
Tyson was well passed his best when he lost to Holy, and Holy used serious headbutting tactics in both his fights against Tyson and Lewis.
Lewis still clearly dominated Holy in both fights.

116-113 Holyfield.
Great fight in its own right and probably the closest in the series.
Fight 1 was epic but Bowe clearly won it 9-3 imo but Holy came back and put on a great display here.
Fight 3 was good but Bowe had slipped alarmingly and Holy was gassed after 2 rounds and the result isn't a true indication of either fighters class.
