One of the great fights Ive ever watched. Was prob 20 at the time and plenty drunk. I don't even remember the butts.
But from the initial stare down to ref jumping in that fight was classic.

Imo it looked like it was Tyson delivering the most serious of the headbutts in the first fight. It´s hard to tell whether Holyfield did it intentional, in my eyes neither of his butts looked more intentional than when their heads colidet in their first fight, where it was Tyson launching forward when you watch the replay, Holyfield lowered his head then so it was Tyson getten the worse of it. Holyfield thou, had a tendency to lower his head and launch in, some could be intentional but i´m by far not sure! One thing i´ve noticed is that in their second fight it at one stage looked like Mike was trying to break Holyfields arm, which he allso tried on Botha, Holyfield so strong though so Mike never really got a hold. Mike was more dirty than Holyfield, but that was due to his temper, just like with Galota. Holyfield might have been on the top five of the best headbutters of all time thou lol, intentional or not.

He got butted 10 times in that fight maybe more. He should have bit his ass in the 1st fight.

notice in those, for example the very first one, Holyfield throws a punch and lowers his head, Mike keeps his head straight up and walks into the ehad butt
