Other people talk that way?

You and Tyson related, skipper?

I predict this should be a great match! I would like for Lewis to win but I think Tyson is going to get in a few good punches and knock him flat!

That is.. if something surreal doesn't happen first.

I hope Lewis is up on his Tetanus shots.

What time is the fight? I might try to find a bar that has it.

I can't watch boxing matches beyond the third round. The fighters are so tired it's just a bloodsport after that point...

[TCO]

I like amateur boxing better as well. I was always dead tired (arms heavy like pianos and legs wobbley) after the third round. Of course, the heavyweights don't punch as much and they don't hold their hands up for defense and they lean on each other. Still taking a heavywieght punch has got to be tough even for a heavyweight. I remember doing one match with a guy 20 pounds heavier than me...and his blows felt like hammers.

I think Tyson should be sitting in an institution somewhere on medication, which is exactly where he would be if he were not a fighter. He has no business fighting anymore.

He mental state is such that he is very dangerous. He is perfectly capable of murder and mayhem. This fight is a very, very bad idea.

Tyson is a very aggressive fighter. Any fighter who says he is not afraid of Tyson is either a liar or brain dead.

Holyfield used the fear by channeling it into tremedous energy. Holyfield is a great counter puncher, one who fires back on autopilot and is great at smothering and tying up an opponent or sticking his head in their face. Tyson simply was ineffective against him and he lost it.

Styles make fights and you can never tell what you are going to get the first time folks match up.

Lewis is a counterpuncher too, but totally different in style. He like to use the jab to keep people off him, and potshot with the right hand.

He uses his size and reach to keep people off him. He was able to do that with Holyfield because Holyfield does not attack like Tyson does.

Tyson will be able to get at Lewis, but only by eating jabs and rights, and not often if Lewis is steady. The absolute key will be how Lewis handles getting hit. If he backs away rather than tie Mike up, he is subject to being knocked out by a Tyson combination.

While either man is capable of knocking out the other with one punch at any time, I see the fight going to Lewis if he can deal with the fear as Holyfield did, in a positive way.

I see Tyson by KO up to round 5, afterward, Lewis wins by KO or disqualification.

To narrow it down, Tyson decks Lewis in round three and wins by stoppage at 1:44 of round 4. I just think Lewis will fail to deal with his fear.

What a fight, I found it sickening that Tyson was pratically grovelling for a re-match at the end. I hope they do havea re-match and Lewis kills him.

Result:

Lewis Won KO round 8

Tyson acts like he is on medication. Steroids. Heavily abused they make people short tempered and aggressive to an extreme.

Glad to hear he lost. Maybe he will go away now.

Fight's done, and so is Tyson.

The whole fight sucked from the beginning. Tyson wasn't even there. I cheered for Lewis, but Tyson didn't even punch the guy or fight. i hope Tyson won't get any fights from now on, because he SUCKS.
