Tyson / Lewis

NewbieZ71 · January 24, 2002

When are they ever going to learn about Mike Tyson? Why is he allowed to fight ANYWHERE? Unbelievable...

I agree completely with those people that called out "Straitjacket." He can't get one on fast enough to suit me.

Kansas Kid · January 24, 2002

Yep, the guy needs to be put in a straight jacket and locked away in a prision somewhere as far as I am concerned....

Tyson is having a hard time accepting that he was once great now he's washed up period

I don't like Tyson, but I do like to watch him fight.

What seems strange to me is how Lewis is repeatedly in these situations. Kinda makes me wonder about him too.

NewbieZ71 · January 24, 2002

Yeah, but its kind of hard to blame Lewis when Tyson show up and just goes after him without any prompting......he didnt seem to do ANYTHING....

Elwood · January 24, 2002

True, but you never know what could've been said earlier, or if he said someting to provoke Tyson over there.

Personally I say let them fight. Thngs like this have happened for years in boxing. It's just a little more frequent now. But theoretically this kind of stuff should make the fight better when they finally get around to doing it, if they do.

That's what get's me. Now they're saying they might not fight, because they got into a fight. Doesn't make much sense to me. Boxing is fighting, why should they cancel the match for doing what they're gonna do anyway. That sounds to me alot like cancelling a race, or banning a driver because somebody drove to the tracl too fast, or cancelling a football game, or banning a player because somebody is tackling too hard in practice.

HA! Didnt think of it that way! Sort of like keeping a kid home from school because he skipped class......

I don't think Tyson should be locked up just because of this incident. Afterall, he is a convicted rapist, soon to be charged with another rape (heck maybe he will get sent to prison again), and has bitten part of somebodies ear off during a fight, and then this. The guy is a menace to society....

General Lee 01 · January 25, 2002

I'm sorry guys but I don't exactly see it the way you guys see it.

IMO whatever happens in a boxing ring should be fair game, be-it biting ears off, or whatever.

I mean that's what these guys are paid to do, FIGHT.

NewbieZ71 · January 26, 2002

yeah General, but theres got to be SOME rules.....its not The Lighter Side forum..

DigUout · January 26, 2002

Those press conference fights are nothing but a work. Pure show to get people talking so they'll pay $30 for another sorry Tyson fight. When was the last good fight from Mike? I can't remember either, but we're talkin' about him again - :sneek:

Well. Tyson and Lewis will be looking for another state/city to have there fight. After years of giving that freak "second chances", that state of Nevada finally did something right. They denied Tyson his boxing license again here in Nevada today, which also means that he will most likely not ever get permission to fight here again. Pissed off alot of people here, but he is a very big black eye to the sport of boxing and he does not deserve to fight here in vegas or anywhere for that matter.
