Ah, yes :) The current Tyson-Holyfield record is Holyfield 2, Tyson "Ate."
Seriously, though, this is how I see it: in the first fight, Tyson was unquestionably outclassed by Evander. Mike was, in no uncertain terms, beaten.
In the second fight, well, we know what happened - though I think that had the fight gone on, that Mike would have won. His biting was spurred on by headbutting, which is - as the commentators noted - along with elbows and the like, a patented Holyfield technique when he is having trouble. Holyfield leading with his forehead at the end of the first round against Tyson told me that something was up. Maybe too much mustard on those Tyson meatballs, to mix (and in terms of cuisine, for Mike) a few boxing metaphors.
I just keep picturing Holyfield against Ruiz last night, and can't help but think that the same ferocity of attack applied against Lou Savarese would see an early round (1-4, IMHO) KO of Holyfield. That's how I see it.
