I was looking forward to the fight. I was watching it with a group of friends.
It became apparent that Holyfield was outworking Tyson and Tyson was growing increasingly frustrated. Then "CHOMP." Someone said "Holy $#!*, he just bit his ear!" Then you see the blood. It has to be one of the most unexpected things I've seen while watching a sporting event.

How about our boy Keno? Not only does he commemorate the fight, he freaking knows how old WE were when it took place and what we were doing!! LOL. And MTown and Bambo were in high school. Scary thoughts indeed. Nice one, Keno.
