Will Mike Tyson WIN This Weekend?

[Javery]

Well? I think he will but then again I always think that... Either way he is cuckoo bananas...

[smalien1]

Make a betting thing

[FriskyTanuki]

He's fighting again? When will he get a clue and give up already? I guess he's gotta pay for a new tattoo somehow.

[Hex]

-High squeaky voice- "Pweepare ta eat shit an' die!"

[evilmax17]

I've got my money on Little Mac.

[Larsin]

he lost the last few bouts that he had and lost pretty fast too.

but i've heard he's training and training hard. if he's training as hard as they say he is then yeah i think he'll win. if not, then he's gonna lose.

[CaseyRyback]

I saw him on ESPN today and he looked really really good. I was kind of in awe of how well he looked (the man is probably the biggest beast when it comes to training in the gym, but had been slacking off)

anyone know the tale of the tape? Though they played up McBride being 6'6" he did not look much bigger than Tyson

[Grave_Addiction]

I had a dream he was knocked out in this fight. So I gotta go with my dream. I predict Tyson will be K.O.ed, and his boxing career will be over.

On the other hand, if Tyson can win this fight easily, he could be well on his way to being the heavyweight champion. There is absolutely nobody in the heavyweight ranks who are worth a damn anymore.

Wouldn't it be amusing to see Tyson and Holyfield go at it one more time?

[bowmanarmy]

I follow boxing very closely. Tyson in his day could beat anyone, but now he is just a washed up fighter who is fighting for nothing more but the money.

[greendc27]

Tyson is washed up.

[zewone]

I'm thinking he will win by KO, because the other guy is a no-name white guy.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

The other guy's white? Tyson gets the KO, no more than 3 rounds. :lol:

[Grave_Addiction]

Dude, don't forget about Klitchko. That dude can fight.

[Greetard]

He will get the KO, then he will eat the white guy's children in celebration and get their names tattooed on his forehead.

Tyson in his prime could most likely beat any other boxer in history. He just hit so damn fast and hard.

Why is this not on CAG bookie?

The Irish dude is going down, probably within 45 seconds to a minute.

[guessed]

One thing is certain... One of these these fighters will be victorious, and the other one will almost surely not.

[neocisco]

Which model of car is he fighting this time?

[Saucy Jack]

Not so. There is a small chance of a draw.

However, one thing is certain... Mike Tyson has some great quotes. :)

[Mafia]

Tyson wins by KO early. The longer this fight goes, I think the more likey Iron Mike will be worn down till he can't continue.

I'm going for Tyson. McBride has ths size but... its Tyson. Tyson just needs one good chin check and its over. Well these days probably a couple.

Ali, Frazier and a young Foreman would have waxed the floor with Tyson, IMO.

Tyson was great back then, but not better than the real greats in boxing history.

[MrBadExample]

McBride looks like Ben Affleck so I hope Tyson throws him a beating that makes Gigli look like the Godfather :D

thats a much better pic. ESPN must have done something to make Tyson appear bigger (or he wore shoes that had big soles) because there was not that much of a size difference yesterday

[onetrackmind]

tyson's gonna get knocked the fuck out!

[chickenhawk]

I love the smirk on Tysons face in that pic. It's like he thinks people should be afraid of him still just because he is Mike Tyson. Sorry buddy....not the case anymore. Wipe that silly smirk off your face....oh wait, I think maybe your opponent can do it for you.

I say Tyson loses. I am no boxing expert though.

[cthcky33]

i think he will win. but that 8" reach difference could hurt him a little

Did anyone see the quotes on PTI yesterday? - "I'll gut him like a fish!" Hilarious.

The smirk is because he is going to eat the other dudes ears! I would be very afraid of having my ears ate.

[Noodle Pirate!]

I get this image of mcbride holding him off by holding him on his head and tyson swingin back and forth at him but cant hit him like an adult does to a child trying to swing at him.
I vote mcbride cause GD the guy is huge andI also vote mike tyson tries some funny business.
canabalism,stomping on his feet, smacking him in the meat and 2 veg,Bluto arm wind up with super awesome style punch at the end. etc... Otherwise it will be a short fight.

[robwhit1]

It depends on how hungry he is before the fight.

Really, he was one of the best boxers of all time - in his prime. I haven't seen him lately, but he declined faster than anyone I have ever seen.

[evilmax17]

Really, would any of us have any affinity for Tyson at all if he was never in Punch-Out? That's the only reason that I know who he is, and the only reason I liked him up until a few years ago.

[the3rdkey]

I can't stand this guy.

[BLarR]

My guess is Tyson brings a gun to the ring and pops the guy, then talks about how he's "fucking crazy" on the news.

[CaseyRyback]

sure would. I pretty much always root for Mike in whatever he does. Not saying the man has not made some mistakes, but its not like the people around him ever helped him out (and a lot of it was not his fault, Don King pretty much forced him to sign with him to ever get a shot at the belt)

he did want to eat Holyfield's children so id be worried about the irish guy...
This also reminds of the great white hope.."Oh danny boy when bell are come a ringning"(i dont know how the danny boy song goes)

I think he wanted to eat Lennox Lewis's children, even though he doesn't have any.

Didn't Tyson bite off someone's ear a while ago? I don't think his new opponent will be scared of loosing a body part.

I follow boxing very closely. Tyson in his day could beat anyone, but now he is just a washed up fighter who is fighting for nothing more but the money.

Even more sadly, he doesn't get to keep the money. He's fighting to pay his debts and creditors. They say he needs at least three or more big paydays after this to get out of debt. If he loses, he likely won't get those matches. I think he'll win for that fact plus the guy he is fighting is supposedly garbage. It will probably be over in 2 rounds after he lands a huge punch and the other guy doesn't feel like getting up because he won't be getting paid any more to take more shots to the head. McBride does have 7" of reach on him and 40 pounds, but he doesn't appear to be a cut 270. There is absolutely no way this will go the distance, both guys will be blown up after 5 rounds tops.

[goatindaruffness]

If Tyson can get a few inside combinations in early on, then it will be a cakewalk, but if he lets McBride take advantage of his size, then he'll look uninspired, and it will be a long night for Tyson...
I'm calling for a 4th round TKO, Tyson the winner...

watching now...ali's in the crowd and apparently his daughter(?) is boxing now

[evilmojo12542]

anyone know what is happening in the fight? did he win/loose or is it still going on

[guyver2077]

just starting now!

[dafoomie]

Is anyone streaming this on the internet?

[Grave_Addiction]

ESPN said that Tyson stated Tyson opened round 4 in a flurry, but McBride survived. If this goes too long, the white boy could win it.

[Grave_Addiction]

Tyson can't answer the bell in the seventh and loses the fight!!!

This came after Tyson headbutted McBride and was deducted two points in the sixth.

[guyver2077]

over!!!!tyson loses!

[$hady]

no way? what happened?

[Grave_Addiction]

A round-by-round account of the heavyweight bout between Mike Tyson (50-5) and Kevin McBride (32-4-1) on Saturday night at the MCI Center in Washington.

In the undercard, the Sharmba Mitchell-Chris Smith fight at 140 pounds was stopped at 16 seconds of the fifth round. Turning to the scorecards, Mitchell earned a unanimous decision to improve to 56-4.

Laila Ali defended her WIBA and WBC women's super middleweight belts with a third-round TKO of Erin Toughill.

Round 1

McBride comes out throwing the first punches as both fighters take measure of each other. The taller McBride is able to keep his distance, throwing a diet of lefts. Tyson gets in several body shots in the final minute of the round. Neither fighter is in any real danger.
ESPN.com scores it: Tyson 10-9

Round 2

McBride continues to stick to his game plan, consistently throwing punches to keep Tyson at bay. When the two fighters clinch, McBride looks to lean on Tyson. Tyson is warned for a low blow, which does not hurt McBride. McBride fires punches one at a time, rather than putting together combinations. Tyson throws wide hooks that fail to hit McBride
ESPN.com scores it: McBride 10-9

Round 3

Tyson quickly fires two shots at McBride but does not faze him. McBride relies on leaning on Tyson to wear him down. But Tyson gets off a number of effective punches and continues to score at will. Tyson finishes the round with a body shot.
ESPN.com scores it: Tyson 10-9

Round 4

Tyson opens the fourth with a hard right, but McBride ties him up to prevent further damage. Tyson launches a left uppercut and is beginning to get through McBride's defenses. Tyson scores again with a right to the head and a left to the body. His short left hook has been peppering McBride throughout the fight. To McBride's credit, at 271 pounds, he withstands the assault. The round ends with McBride tying Tyson up, getting in two quick rights.
ESPN.com scores it: Tyson 10-9

Round 5

The bout enters "uncharted territory" as both fighters slug it out. Even though Tyson is winning the fight on the cards at this point (one judge on the televised bout scores it 38-38 at this point), the fight appears even. Neither fighter appears hurt. McBride consistently has thrown his punches, and Tyson is beginning to tire. McBride scores on a right uppercut that snaps Tyson's head back. McBride presses the attack, scoring more rights. Tyson survives the round.
ESPN.com scores it: McBride 10-9

Round 6

Tyson comes out swinging. Again, McBride ties him up, and Tyson is warned as McBride winces while holding his left arm. Tyson receives a two-point deduction for an intentional head butt that opens a cut over McBride's left eye. The fight becomes spirited as Tyson is fighting with a deduction and is at risk of losing the round. McBride gamely stands tall. Tyson lands with a right, but McBride counters with a flurry. McBride leans on Tyson to the point where Tyson falls to the floor, but it is not scored a knockdown as the round ends.
ESPN.com scores it: McBride 9-8

Tyson quits on his stool before the seventh round begins. McBride wins by TKO.

[$hady]

damn Tyson screwed himself up so bad, he was once the baddest man alive and could've been the greatest of all time. Don King murdered his career, just like those people he killed back in the day.

[Grave_Addiction]

I think it's fair to say Tyson is now officially a bum.

[lionheart4life]

Wow, I really didn't think he would lose at all. Where does he go from here? The way I see it his career is pretty much over, even this fight didn't have much hype compared to others in his career against overmatched opponents. Looks like he will never get out of debt, even if he gets a real job. Its even more sad that he went out fighting dirty and still lost, but I guess its a fitting end to a waste of a lot of talent.

[guyver2077]

i cant believe he lost dammit

[CaseyRyback]

he needs his own reality show. If they gave him his own show, people would watch and he could get out of debt easy and never fight again.

[Grave_Addiction]

Tyson says he doesn't have the heart anymore, and this was his last fight.

But I called it pretty good, eh? Although Tyson didn't get knocked out, this was worse. I dreamed Tyson was gonna lose this fight more than a month ago. Damn, I think I have supernatural powers.

[$hady]

He wouldn't get up off his stool and continue to fight, NO WAY he can ever step foot in the ring again. Not even mentioning that he went back to the fighting dirty with the low blows and the headbutt OR the fact he's lost 3 of his last 4 fights. Seing how big McBride was at the weigh in my first thought was honestly Mikes gonna get wore down, but i thought that Tyson having beefed back up and having his head half way back into he could beat the big man. WTF was i thinking? I'm just glad i didn't buy it....

[Grave_Addiction]

Throughout Tyson's entire boxing career, his pay-per-views were always bad to watch. It used to end in the 1st or 2nd round, so you'd spend $60 on a six-minute long fight, or he'd do something crazy and fuck up the match.

yeah i remember the Bruce Seldon fight....i was in 7th grade and my friend's dad got the fight on paperview. so at that i of course only knew about tyson so i wanted to watch..well after the christie martin fight and two other seldom fights the match finally started..a couple minutes later seldon was downa and out..i was in bed by 12.
