If Tyson is going to win, it will have to be early. He hasn't really trained for this fight, and he has NEVER gone 12 rounds before. The longer the fight goes, the better the chances for Lewis.

Keep in mind that a win pays Tyson 20 million and he's currently 15 million in debt.
He needs that money a lot more than Lewis, who simply needs it to establish his cred as a fighter.
Now, there are a lot of people I would fight to establish cred, but Tyson is not one of them. Basically, they're asking him to step into the ring with an animal and come out on top...it really is going to boil down to the ref, because if he calls it loose, Tyson will most likely win. If it is a boxing match and not a brawl, Lewis will probably take it.
Lewis has the better chance if they call it tight or if Tyson decides to be a boxer.
But if it is a street fight or Tyson comes out wild, I think Lewis goes down.
However, the smell of feces from Lewis' trunks may prove distracting to Tyson.
What a nice microcosmic stereotype of US/English sentiments and false perceptions as well. The pinkie thrusting tea drinker vs. the public school thug.

Tyson went 14 rounds to take a points victory over Bonecrusher Smith. It's true that he doesn't like a long fight, though.Originally posted by Ming

But yeah, he is in no shape for a long fight. Lewis has been training for this one... Tyson hasn't.Keep on Civin'

Tyson belongs in a mental institution, not a boxing ring.
He didn't train for this at all, and he's 16 pounds over his heaviest weight.
If he doesn't win fast, he won't win at all.
It's more likely he will pull another psycho stunt.I believe Saddam because his position is backed up by logic and reason...David Floyd

Psycho stunts are funny. I wish Tyson would have been able to talk more up until the fight. He says funny things too."Yay Apoc!!!!!!!" - bipolarbear

I hope they kill each other and get it over with."Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt WhitmanComment

That contrasts with the reports I've read, which say he's in better shape than he's been in for nearly a decade.Originally posted by Chris 62

It's also reckoned the weigh-in was inaccurate. True- he's not as defined as he used to be, but that's normal for a 35 year-old man. Besides- he's still younger and lighter than Lewis.
I agree on the "nutter" points.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil FinlandComment

I don't know about that. I saw and interview the other night with Tyson who said he's been training hard for the last 3 months. But of course that could all be hype. The thing that struck me though was when they kept showing his face and his eyes, there's nothing there. It's like he's blank behind the eyes. He also made the statement that he's going for Lewis's head and he intends to get it.Originally posted by Chris 62

Did you know that he bit Lewis's leg when they got into a brawl at a press conference? He doesn't need boxing gloves.......he needs a muzzel!Welcome to earth, my name is Tia and I'll be your tour guide for this trip.

Lewis has had more fights recently, and the Rahman embarrasment is probably is still burning his ears.Originally posted by Ron Jeremy

And the weigh-in does appear to be inaccurate: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...-2002Jun6.html and http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/audio/38...rawling_vp.ram . (The latter is an audio--RealMedia--link.)Comment
