The Fight
This was the fight everyone had anticipated -- Tyson vs. Cooper-field.
They were calling it "The fight of the century - Man vs. Dog", the $100-million rematch between these titans. The first match took place 11 months earlier, producing a shocking upset -- knockout victory for Cooper-field aka Dog.
Now here we are, middle of the winter of 2009, and the rematch is drawing more attention than the first bout.
The Moment
Tyson, in his usual black trunks and shoes without socks, begins the bout more cautiously than the first fight with Cooper-field last July, when Cooper-field stunned Tyson in the 11th round by staring him down with his ever-powerful puppy dog eyes. On this night, Tyson avoids looking straight at Cooper-field and hammers away.
Seconds into Round 2, Cooper-field headbutts Tyson and the referee immediately signals the two apart. Tyson’s frustration grows. He lunges towards Cooper-field, and then in an explicable and gruesome move, crunches down on Cooper-field’s left ear and bites off a chunk!
