The guy from New Zealand advance to the final where, of course, he got clobbered again.
This would be appropriate response here, despite the screaming which would result. Fines mean squat compared to the value of a Stupor Bowl appearance.
“Remember the ear-biting boxer (his name escapes me) and the semi-final of his Olympic round? He was clobbering some guy from New Zealand when the ref told him to stop. He either didn’t hear of didn’t heed, but he lost his spot in the final and the medal as well.”
Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield’s ear in a professional bout.
Holyfield was the boxer who did not hear the referee say, “Stop!” in the Olympics. He was awarded the bronze medal but the gold medal winner took him up to the winner’s circle during the award ceremony.
Holyfield is the boxer who got his ear bitten by animal Tyson.....just to set the record straight. ;-)
