Tyson se arrepiente (más o menos) de morder a Holyfield
En lo que espero es la última de las 431 entrevistas que parece le dio a la Oprah Winfrey, se presentó su archirrival Evander Holyfield. Tyson no exactamente le pidió disculpas por haberle mordido un canto de la oreja en su pelea de 1997.

En aquel momento Tyson reclamó que Holyfield lo estaba machucando a cabezazo limpio. Pero ahora todo es color de rosa entre los dos.
Respetuoso, Tyson estrechó varias veces la mano de su antiguo rival durante su encuentro del viernes que, según dijo, fue su primera oportunidad para hablar con él detenidamente desde la noche
en que su mordiscón se convirtió en noticia mundial.
Tyson le confesó más temprano a Winfrey que su primera disculpa luego del incidente no había sido sincera, pero cuando la conductora le preguntó qué le quería decir a Holyfield, otra vez dejó pasar la oportunidad de pedir perdón. En cambio, elogió a Holyfield profusamente.
"Este es un tipo hermoso", dijo, tomando el brazo de Holyfield de manera cariñosa durante varios segundos. "Sólo quiero dejarte saber que ha sido un placer conocerte".
Cuando Winfrey le preguntó si todavía le faltaba parte de su
oreja, Holyfield la señaló y dijo: "Sólo un pedacito".
Ah bueno.
