The sad demise of Mike Tyson.

wellard · 07-31-2004, 03:53 AM

"Danny Williams caused one of the biggest upsets in boxing history with a fourth-round knockout of Mike Tyson in their heavyweight fight in Louisville.
The Englishman had looked in trouble early on against the powerful American, taking a couple of heavy punches. But Williams weathered the storm and when he started to attack Tyson the former world champion had no answer.

Williams dug deep and landed 16 unanswered blows to send the self-proclaimed "baddest man on the planet" crumbling against the ropes for the fifth defeat of his tempestuous career. He was knocked down towards the end of the fourth round for what could signal the end of his career."
(from the BBC)

If any one who used to watch and enjoy Tyson in his 'shock and awe' glory days and then watched the 4th round disgrace last night ( I wanted to turn away) they would know that Tyson’s career is now truly over. I just hope he can retire in peace rather than becoming a punch bag for every wannabe, just so he can earn a few more dollars.

Time to retire Mike ….. please

Hell yeah! [img]smile.gif[/img] Louisville is my Hometown! from 1972 - 1989!

Mike isn't in his prime anymore, so IMO, it's not an upset. If Mike was like he was in 1991, he would have busted his ass bad, but it's not. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ah well.. atleast he wasn't hungery for an ear..
