Guest hardyz1 Report post Posted June 2, 2002 Holyfield "accidentally" headbutted Rahman, and Rahman starts to swell up like mad. It literally looked like he had a hockey puck growing in his forehead. Nasty. Here's a picture: Rahman's new head Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted June 2, 2002 Maybe Holyfield took him out afterward for a Mike's Hard Iced Tea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted June 3, 2002 That's why Holyfield only has one ear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest What?! Report post Posted June 3, 2002 Holy crap! That's huge. When, you said "hockey puck" I thought you were exaggerating, but hell, that looks bigger than a hockey puck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ripper Report post Posted June 3, 2002 I just officaially jumped on Tysons side. I would've bitten his ear off too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest muzanisa Report post Posted June 3, 2002 That is one weird looking picture. Holyfield has always been a dirty fighter even as a cruiser. Not on the Tyson level but sneaky, elbows, thumbs, headbutts and low blows are a staple diet of Holyfield matches when he gets in trouble. Maybe God tells him he can do it.

Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted June 3, 2002 holy fuck that was huge. anyone know how long it took for the swelling in that beast to go down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jimmy no nose Report post Posted June 3, 2002 If you watch the tape, Holyfield had head butted him at least once in every round during that fight. If you watch Holyfield-Tyson 2 you see at least 4 or 5 Holyfield headbutts as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Some Guy Report post Posted June 3, 2002 Holyfield is a cheap bastard. All he does is headbutt to open a cut and then attack the illgotten cut. Holyfield lost an ear for that shit and someone will probably hurt him worse as he gets older and less mobile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Redhawk Report post Posted June 3, 2002 Finally, people are starting to see the light. Holyfield has been a dirty fighter for a while. In fact, he bit a guy's shoulder back in amateurs. Rahman said he thinks Holyfield has a steel plate in his head, whcih I wouldn't discount when you consider how hard it is to knock him out and how deadly his head has become lately.

Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted June 4, 2002 Remember back when Tyson bit off Holyfield's ear and he said his children would be afraid of him if he let Holyfield keep head-butting him? Sometimes I wonder why everyone thinks Tyson is stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Redhawk Report post Posted June 4, 2002 Tyson said his kids would be afraid when he walked in the house with that huge-ass cut over his eye. That makes perfect sense to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted June 4, 2002 because you know the tyson household has such a leave it to beaver type feel to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted June 5, 2002 If you were a kid and you saw someone looking like Rahman, would you be afraid? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Human Fly Report post Posted June 5, 2002 I don't know why Rahman kept coming inside with Holyfield he knew he was going to get butted. He should've stayed outside and worked him with the jab. It was a decent fight though, hopefully there will be a rematch. Dirty fighter or not Holyfield was in awesome shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted June 5, 2002 It's the ref's job to stop Holyfield from headbutting though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Human Fly Report post Posted June 5, 2002 "It's the ref's job to stop Holyfield from headbutting though." No question about it, but even if Holyfield wasn't butting I think Rahman's best chance to win was to work the jab from the outside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
