Where Kicking Happens
Tuesday's P.M. Hot Clicks

"The ugliness was infectious, spreading through the stands and into the night. After Jimmy Lennon Jr. read the once-in-a-lifetime decision ("Referee Mills Lane has disqualified Mike Tyson for biting Evander Holyfield on both his ears"), Tyson was showered with empty and half-empty cups. Police were busy dragging people out of the stands.

This is how SI's Richard Hoffer described the scene after Mike Tyson bit off Evander Holyfield's ear during their July 1997 fight. It appears all hard feelings have been buried as Tyson is seen apologizing to Holyfield and returning his ear in a hilarious new Foot Locker ad.
