June 11, 200521 yr Iron Mike fights Irish journeyman McBride tonight. I'm sure Mike will win easily, but anybody here actually going to watch this crap?
June 11, 200521 yr I'm going to watch it, I got some people coming over and a couple of us chipped in on it so its not that bad. Iron Mike is a freak show and everybody loves to watch a freak show.
June 11, 200521 yr That bum he lost to last year was no better than McBride is, so this is far from an easy win for Tyson.
June 11, 200521 yr This is far from being a guaranteed win. Mike Tyson is overrated and he knows it. Tyson was a bully and thats all.. People were too busy running from Tyson to hit him. How can he be considered one of the best boxers of all-time when he hasn't beat the two greatest boxers of his time?
June 11, 200521 yr If Tyson doesnt KO him in the first 3-4 rounds, McBride will win. You got to remember somethinb about the Williams fight, Tyson tore his knee up in like the 2nd round.

June 11, 200521 yr Author That bum he lost to last year was no better than McBride is, so this is far from an easy win for Tyson. 805643[/snapback] I'm going to disagree, I would say Williams is far better than McBride. Williams had beaten some relatively decent fighters like Kali Meehan and Michael Sprott. McBride has been beaten by guys with losing records.
June 11, 200521 yr I'm in DC this weekend, but Im not going to the fight tonight. Im sure things will be crazy near the Arena tonight The only way Tyson knows how to box now is to just go out punching early. If McBride can withstand the first few rounds, he might just win this.
June 12, 200521 yr Tyson quits on his stool before the seventh round begins. McBride wins by TKO. per ESPN good, he's such a joke
June 12, 200521 yr yet he'll make still another comeback & people will pay to watch it. I'll never understand it.
June 12, 200521 yr ..and so ends an overrated and pretty sad career. 806397[/snapback] I wouldn't call his career overrated... granted his career has been over for 15 years but in his prime he was one scary dude. It isnt suprising that he stumbled toward the end of his career like a lot of fighters.
June 12, 200521 yr He says that the only reason he's fighting is to pay off all of his debts. Somehow, the guy managed to blow the $40 million that he had earned from fights in his career by around 2001. I think he's a few million in the red, and these sad displays are the only way for him to make money. Hasn't he lost his last 3-4 fights against lousy opponents?
June 12, 200521 yr He said that he dosent have the heart to do this anymore. In the 6th round Tyson headbutted Mcbride and when they asked him about it after the fight he said that he was desperate and doing whatever it took to try and win.
June 12, 200521 yr Mike looked bad out there... it didnt help that McBride was bear hugging him every 3 seconds but whatever I would have liked Iron Mike to knock the crap out of McBride
June 12, 200521 yr Mike looked bad out there... it didnt help that McBride was bear hugging him every 3 seconds but whatever 806488[/snapback] That is heavyweight boxing for you....
