As soon as Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson touched gloves, the ringside commentator announced the wait was over. In three distinct adjectives, he then described ‘The Real Deal’ – confident, relaxed, and cool.

As cautioned, Holyfield did not look to fight the Tyson he had fought on November 9th. Instead, he came all prepared to fight a more aggressive boxer in the new Mike Tyson. The sense of anticipation as before the first fight was almost palpable!

Tyson went wild, and the police entered the ring.

An individual by the name of Bert Bach wrote the following hilarious line:
