Mike Tyson predicts a "sensational victory"

Tyson said by reviewing video tapes of only his second defeat in 47 professional fights, he would be able to correct errors he made against Holyfield last November 9.

“I saw a lot of mistakes — like not moving my head — that I don’t believe I will make the second fight,” Tyson said. “I’m in a lot better condition than I was back then too.”

In their first bout, Holyfield stunned the boxing world by stopping Tyson in the 11th round to win the World Boxing Association heavyweight crown.

Holyfield surprised everybody but himself with his willingness to go toe-to-toe with Tyson, who was believed to be the much harder puncher.

Instead, Holyfield got the better of the exchanges until referee Mitch Halpern stopped the contest 37 seconds into the 11th round.

“I never dreamed that he could fight that well and I know now not to underestimate anybody,” admitted Tyson. “We will find out if he is really a big boy this time.”

The former youngest heavyweight champion in history said he is going into this fight with his eyes open. “I know what I have to face and I am prepared for it.”

“Everything is going well, and we are basically working on my balance, my speed and my combinations. We have worked on some of my old tactics.“I feel good about the whole thing,” Tyson said of his current fight preparation.

The rematch had been scheduled for May 3, but was put off after Tyson suffered a facial cut while sparring.
