heh Iron who?

Lewis still have 2 ears and that makes him a Winner

I saw not much fightin' ... maybe first and second round...
Only good think about Tyson is that he showed his prode and was trying to hold it as much as possible!

Darn good job by Lewis!

"ALuminum" Mike Tyson

Against the 13" reach advatage Lewis had over him, he fights from the outside??

He looked like he was on valium, counting $$ signs with each blow waiting for a chance to hit the mat. I think Lewis could/should have put him away sooner but was leary of the one big punch Mike used to be able to throw but never did last night.

Problem I've always thought with these big paycheck fights is just that, the big paychecks. They both made about $20 million. It didn't matter who won or lost. Paid the same.

Change that to winner gets $39,500,000 and loser gets $500,000 & I think a new "boxing spirit" would be born.

After that performance, Tyson should just fade away. He's too old & has lost the fire which made him famous. He can't walk the talk anymore.

Then again with $20 million, it'd be pretty darn easy to fade away

I thought the Lewis/Tyson fight was a two fight deal. Anyone else hear about that?

Unless you were 16million in debt.... Like Tyson.

In the old days, Tyson's fights were rather different. He was always moving and the tall guys had a hard time hitting him. The best they could do would be glancing blows. If they leaned into a punch too much, Tyson would catch them with an uppercut and it was the end.

But Tyson never really got in on Bonecrusher Smith. Smith couldn't hit him and backtracked most of the time to keep Tyson out of reach. So Tyson won the decision. But Smith showed that fighting Tyson was possible for those with a major reach advantage.

The Buster Douglas fight highlighted Tyson's departure from constant motion and arrival at the "toe to toe" scene. Its still one of the best heavyweight fights I've ever seen.

Looks like he still hasn't figured out exactly what it was that got him all those belts.
