Classic Tyson. Beating up yet another fighter who's over the hill.

@leafyutube

They were not over the hill just because they lost....

I'm no boxing expert, just loved seeing Holmes get his ass kicked.

That first knockdown was from a clean powerful right hand.. You could hear the impact, It sounded like an ax hitting a wet log.. Holmes deserves credit just for getting up after that

[messier991102]

@Goldenchild795 holmes has been hit harder, the punch shavers landed on him was vicious

@veeseee128 Holmes had a great fight with Holyfield that went the distance 4 yrs after this and he also beat Ray Mercer too. It's become fashionable to knock all of Tysons opponents, Looking at Holmes he's looking pretty much in the same condition as he always was, maybe not at his peak but by no means finished.

good job tyson, that was for havin no respect for ali in the ring...and abusing him.

@leafyutube You have to give Tyson credit for knocking out Holmes when you consider that he was the only man to defeat him by knock out in his 75 fight, 29 year career. Evander Holyfield fought Holmes 4 years later and couldn't knock him out at 42 years old.

[tiimplay]

tyson beat holmes up like that because of what holmes did to ali

@geir44

Holmes is not over the hill because he lost, but he is because he is 38 in this fight, dude he is an old man not getting in the ring to win, just to make some last dollars.

Tyson was awesome here..yes Holmes were over the hill but still, nobody would have been able to destroy him like this. And don't forget, Holmes came back years later to beat a prime Ray Mercer and going the distance with Holyfield.

[TheBestBoxingGame]

@leafyutube Which other over the hill did he fight ?

[turk0571]

Tyson the Magnicifent

[Elephant31200]

Tyson is an excellent boxer, but Larry Holmes is the best one ; he was way past his prime here.
