Any predicitions?
I really hope Lewis kicks his ass. Of course, if Tyson is losing, my bet is that he'll find some way to throw the fight.
-
Anyone know of a webcast? No TV coverage on where I live.

I wont be watching that one. I've decided not to watch any fights with Tyson in them. If you ignore him he will go away.
even if everyone hates him as long as people watch he'll keep getting fights
-
I'd like to see Tyson lose but I think he'll win if he goes to fight
If he goes to bite ears, head butt or screw around instead, Lewis will win or the fight'll be stopped
If tyson wins it'll be by knockout
If Lewis wins it'll be by decision or disqualification of Mike
my guess anyway
-
I'm torn. I really don't want to support tyson in any way. BUT :D I want to see him get the crapola kicked out of him. So I'll probably watch it on PPV. I think if tyson loses this one his career is over, that's what the boxing pro's are saying anyway.
-
Noooooooo!
I cant find a webcast of the event. I never missed a Brit v Tyson fight before...... :(

I'm hoping HBO will show it in a week or two. Looking forward to it, and I hope Tyson is back in his old form and not biting. I really don't give a toejame what he's done in his past, he's paid for whatever crimes he's committed, and I don't care enough about the sport of boxing as a whole to even think about that aspect of it. He can be amazing to watch when he's not acting like a fool.

When is the fight?
-
Had a $20 coupon from Charter Comms, so just ordered it. It's a cheap Saturday night slingin' beers comes to think of it.
What the hell, I hope Tyson eats him. Wouldn't that be something.
-
Mike fights clean, amazing. What a beating. Course if I put on a diver's bell I would be just as exciting in the ring.
-
:D
Lewis dominated Tyson and KO'd him :) damn good fight :)
-
See the end? Tyson asking for a rematch because he still thinks he can beat Lewis.
Not likely... Lewis tore him up.
-
Man, I almost felt sorry for Tyson he got beat so bad. The ring cameras told it all between the latter rounds, Tyson in his corner having both eyes bled and his nose swabbed, Lewis calmly talking to his trainer showing no physical signs of the fight.
-
Yeah... and that shot of Tyson on the mat... blood dripping out of both eyes and his nose. Eyelids nearly swollen shut... then look at Lewis with a little tiny knob under his left eye and no other signs that he just went 8 rounds with Iron Mike.

I take it he ate before the fight then?
-
heh Iron who? :D
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.
