By Carl Pottorff: I was 6 years old when Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield met in Las Vegas on November 9, 1996.
My father and uncle were boxing fans. I cannot begin to recall all the matches that I watched with them on my uncle’s illegal cable hook-up while sitting on my uncle’s couch drinking Coca Cola on a Saturday night. But one event I can still recall clearly to this day is watching the first Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield fight.
