Tyson KOd in 4th

 

Mike Tyson suffered a swift defeat in his latest comeback bid, falling to unheralded Brit Danny Williams -- a 9-1 underdog -- in the fourth round.

 

 

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Mike Tyson was knocked out in the fourth round Friday night in a shocking end to the latest comeback of the fighter who once was the most feared heavyweight of his era.

 

Unheralded British heavyweight Danny Williams landed a flurry of punches that sent Tyson sprawling into the ropes, perhaps ending his career with the same kind of fury that Tyson once unleashed on other fighters.

 

The fighter once called the baddest man on the planet went down from a final right hand, then lay helplessly along the ropes, blood streaming down his face. He tried to get up to beat the count, then fell again, and the fight was waved to a stunning close at 2:51 of the fourth round.

 

The fight was a free-for-all from the opening bell, with Tyson landing huge left hooks early, only to take punishment when Williams got over his initial stage fright and began brawling himself.

 

Tyson won the first three rounds, but Williams was landing well to the head, and when he began throwing punch after punch with Tyson near a neutral corner, Tyson couldn't answer.

 

Fighting in Muhammad Ali's hometown before a crowd of 17,253 that seemed to cheer his every move, Tyson tried with every punch to score the kind of spectacular knockout that would make him a heavyweight contender again at 38.

 

But Williams wouldn't go down, and then came back with shocking suddenness to win.

 

Tyson was desperately trying to resurrect a career that made him more than $300 million, but the loss to a 9-1 underdog perhaps signals the end of an era in the heavyweight division.

 

''People forget this isn't a peak Mike Tyson. This was a Mike Tyson who was 38 years old,'' Williams said. ``I thought I could win.''

 

Tyson, who earned about $8 million -- most of which will go to creditors -- left the ring refusing to talk, but his manager, Shelly Finkel, said Tyson twisted his knee late in the first round.

 

''He couldn't get leverage,'' Finkel said. ``When the guy was leaning on him, I knew it would be a bad night.''

 

On the undercard, Laila Ali, daughter of the former heavyweight champion, stopped an outclassed Monica Nuñez in the ninth round of a scheduled 10-round fight.

This is just sad, but on a lighter note he probably bet against himself and made a lot more money...

interesting point

i thought this was going to be about bird abuse

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and i planned to call you a communist or something

I watched the fight. All I can say was that it was sad to see. He actually looked good in the first 3 rounds. In the first round Tyson almost knocked Williams out. But he burned himself out by the end of the 3rd.

 

The problem I notice with Tyson is that he's a 2-dimensional fighter. His typical scenario in a fight would be to throw a barrage of power punches and try to knock his opponent out within the first 2 or 3 rounds. Don't get me wrong, he's very effective with this strategy, as it has been proven for most of his career. But if his opponent can withstand those first 3 rounds without getting knocked out, then Tyson has no backup plan. After Tyson has burned himself out, "anything goes", as far as the fight is concerned. And him being 38 years old as opposed to 36, 32, 27 -- doesn't help him at all. It might be time for him to hang the hat.

he won't hang up the gloves though. he filed for bankruptcy and part of the deal with his creditors was signing a deal that put him down for 5 or so more fights to pay them off.

 

its going to get sadder and sadder.

Where's your source of this? Because after the fight his trainer said that there was a possibility that he suggest that Tyson quit. Of course all options are open, and they're kinda at a crossroads right now -- but he did say Tyson officially retiring is a possibility.

nope, that's this thread

 

*and Tyson is a bum, but I bet he will fight a couple more times before he quits... I iimagine a failed George Foreman comeback as well...

it was either on the Dan Patrick show on espn radio or the Jim Rome radio show. no link, sorry.

 

here, found one:

 

To pay off the rest, Tyson’s attorneys have laid out a plan in federal bankruptcy court in New York under which Tyson will fight seven times over the next three years. The plan is ambitious, if only because Tyson has fought only twice in the last three years for a total of about eight rounds.

it's sad what's happened to him, he doesn't seem to be able to make decent decisions i.e. that hideous tattoo on his face.

seriously though, how can he be broke?

come UK yeah...

Mike Tyson's Marijuana Use May Have Been A Factor

Tim Graham August 1, 2004

 

Mike Tyson wasn't high on Kentucky bluegrass Friday night. He hadn't smoked any Panama Red either.

 

At least that's what trainer Freddie Roach believes.

 

Most others familiar with Tyson's act probably are a little more skeptical. Cheech and Chong are withholding comment.

 

Tyson frequently broached the subject of his prolific marijuana usage during interviews in the days leading up to his crushing knockout defeat to Danny Williams in Louisville.

 

I'm not blaming Tyson's loss on blunts as much as blunt trauma courtesy of his unheralded foe. No, his career was all but snuffed out for multiple reasons that might not have had anything to do with dope.

 

His manager, Shelly Finkel, announced Saturday that Not-so Iron Mike sustained a complex tear of a left knee ligament, an injury that prevented him from utilizing his full punching repertoire.

 

Roach also claimed exhaustion played a factor. The trainer cited two weight differentials -- the 35 pounds Tyson lost from the start of training and the 32 pounds that separated the combatants -- in the steady demise from rapid-firing, head-moving favorite to slow-footed, disinterested loser.

 

But it's easy for those who know Tyson to picture marijuana playing a role in his training for the Williams fight. Maybe the munchies prevented him from dropping below 233 pounds, the third-heaviest weight of his career.

 

"Mike told me that he had quit marijuana," Roach said, "and I told him "That's the best news I've ever heard.' I thought that's what was keeping him from the world championship. He spoke about it before and he made it public. He gave it up on his own, and he's been clean for almost a year now. He has not smoked marijuana.

 

"I thought that was a great big move for him. I thought that was part of his growing up, a sign of his maturity. To make a decision. He was addicted to it, actually, because he thought he needed it. Anything can be addictive if you use it like that."

 

Roach's perception of Tyson's gallant reform, however, doesn't quite jibe with other indicators.

 

Tyson smelled stronger than Spicoli's van when he showed up for the postfight news conference of Vitali Klitschko's victory over Kirk Johnson less than eight months ago. Others who were around Tyson said he was still smoking like a fiend in recent weeks.

 

There was no fear Tyson would need to submit to a drug test for Friday night's bout. Illegal narcotics and steroids conveniently aren't banned substances according to the Kentucky Athletic Commission.

 

Tyson joked that dope affected his performance two years ago when Lennox Lewis systematically broke him down. Speculation abounded that Tyson was on antidepressant medication before the lucrative bout so he aberrant behavior wouldn't spoil it.

 

"I don't know what the hell happened," Tyson told reporters. "I may have smoked too much weed, but I wasn't taking any drugs or anything."

 

Another time he was asked about the Lewis fight, Tyson replied: "Man, I don't know what I was on. Maybe I just smoked too much weed. There's no doubt I've been a monster."

 

Tyson's victory over Andrew Golota in October 2000 was nullified because he tested positive for marijuana. Roach revealed dope likely was a factor in Tyson's erratic conduct heading into his quick knockout victory over Clifford Etienne 17 months ago, his last bout prior to Friday night.

 

"For the Etienne fight I couldn't get much out of him," Roach said. "That was probably one of the reasons why. For this fight that didn't happen. You could see a huge, huge improvement.

 

"I just patted him on the back. I was proud of him for doing that because he did it on his own. He didn't ask for any help, and he knew he needed to do that for his career. He made that sacrifice."

 

Williams (no relation to pot-smoking former running back Ricky Williams) entered the fight less worthy of being on a big-time fight poster than the cover of Abbey Road; he was a British pedestrian, an opponent Tyson was supposed to walk over with ease.

 

Tyson nearly knocked out Williams in the first round, wobbling the Brit with a left hook to the chin followed by an uppercut. Williams hung on and, demonstrating a total disdain for Tyson's formerly fearsome facade, started to land punches himself.

 

All three judges had Tyson winning by a shutout on the scorecards. Inept referee Dennis Alfred helped the cause by twice deducting a point from Williams without so much as a warning in the third round, inducing a 10-7 score from two judges.

 

In the end, none if it was enough to withstand a brutal sequence in which Williams landed 19 unanswered punches. He threw many more that didn't connect.

 

Tyson slumped into the ropes. Blood streamed from around his right eye. Alfred again tried to help by giving the fallen ex-champion a few extra seconds to get off the canvas.

 

Tyson's big night and, more significantly, his career still went up in smoke.

My Favorite Mike Tyson Quote

 

“[He] called me a ‘rapist’ and a ‘recluse.’ I’m not a recluse.”

 

On Lennox Lewis

 

"Lennox Lewis, I'm coming for you man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah!"

 

"My main objective is to be professional but to kill him."

 

"I want to rip out his heart and feed it to him [Lennox Lewis]. I want to kill people. I want to rip their stomachs out and eat their children."

 

On Evander Holyfield

 

"You got nothing coming, man. I'm going to enjoy this fight."

 

After biting Holyfield he said, "This is my career. I have children to raise. I have to retaliate. He butted me. Look at me. My kids will be scared of me."

 

"I felt Holyfield was using his head illegally. I told the referee I wasn't getting any help, so I went back to the streets. I cannot defend it, but it happened."

 

On Razor Ruddock

 

"You're sweet. I'm going to make sure you kiss me good with those big lips. I'm gonna make you my girlfriend."

 

On Tyrell Biggs

 

Tyson on Tyrell Biggs' complaining to him about low blows "Low blows? Low blows? Huh! Motherf**ker you're fittin' to die!"

 

"He was screaming like my wife."

 

"I could have knocked him out in the third round but I wanted to do it slowly, so he would remember this night for a long time."

 

On His Wife

 

"I paid a worker at New York's zoo to re-open it just for me and Robin. When we got to the gorilla cage there was 1 big silverback gorilla there just bullying all the other gorillas. They were so powerful but their eyes were like an innocent infant. I offered the attendant $10,000 to open the cage and let smash that silverback's snotbox! He declined."

 

"Anyone with a grain of sense would know that if I punched my wife I would rip her head off. It's all lies. I have never laid a finger on her."

 

On His Childhood

 

"One morning I woke up and found my favorite pigeon, Julius, had died I was devastated and was gonna use his crate as my stickball bat to honor him. I left the crate on my stoop and went in to get something and I returned to see the sanitation man put the crate into the crusher. I rushed him and caught him flush on the temple with a titanic right hand he was out cold, convulsing on the floor like a infantile retard."

 

On Fans

 

To a question on whether he feels support from the common fan: "I don't feel love from them because there's no love. They don't know me as an individual; they know me for what I actually do. Because they pay to see me smash anybody. If they're white they pay, [it's] because the only thing they have respect for is my ability as an athlete. But if I was in court and I had to use them to testify against me on my character, they wouldn't testify positively against me and they would think I'm a cad..."

 

"There are nine million people who see me in the ring and hate my guts. Most of them are white. That's okay. Just spell my name right."

 

"I think the average person thinks I'm a f**king nut and I deserve whatever happens to me. That's what I believe."

 

"When you see me smash somebody's skull, you enjoy it."

 

On His Time in Prison

 

"You have to understand, Frank Bruno would not have been champion if I had not been in prison. Oliver McCall would not have been champion if I had not been in prison. A lot of these guys would not have been champion. Michael Moorer would not have been champion. Those guys would not have been champion if I had been around. They would have had no legacy. None of those guys would have had a legacy."

 

"I would have been in shape. I would have been active. Holyfield, those guys wouldn't have been champion when I was around, but I went away for four or five years inactive and that made them competitive for a time."

 

"But you really have to look at the science of the situation. You guys come here to talk and report but you don't actually look at the facts of what this business is all about. The best thing that happened to those guys and they should stand on their mother's shoulders and kiss my ass because I went to prison or they would not be existing right now. They'd be a flash in the pan and would have made some money and opened up a restaurant or bar somewhere where they live at."

 

On Boxing

 

"I try to catch him right on the tip of the nose, because I try to push the bone into the brain."

 

"Everyone in boxing probably makes out well except for the fighter. He's the only one that's on Skid Row most of the time; he's the only one that everybody just leaves when he loses his mind. He sometimes goes insane, he sometimes goes on the bottle, because it's a highly intensive pressure sport that allows people to just lose it [their self-control]."

 

"How dare these boxers challenge me with their primitive skills? It makes me angry. They're just as good as dead."

 

"My power is discombobulatingly devastating I could feel is muscle tissues collapse under my force. It's ludicrous these mortals even attempt to enter my realm."

 

Tyson: "It's interesting that you put me in the league with those illustrious fighters [Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Jack Johnson], but I've proved since my career I've surpassed them as far my popularity. I'm the biggest fighter in the history of the sport. If you don't believe it, check the cash register."

 

"Without discipline, no matter how good you are, you are nothing! One day, and I might not be around; you're going to meet a tough guy who takes your best shot. He'll keep coming because he's tough. Don't get discouraged. That's when the discipline comes in."

 

"I just want them to keep bringing guys on and I'm going to strip them of their health. I bring pain, a lot of pain."

 

On His Family

 

"No one gives a f**k about me. No one cares if my children starve, if they're on welfare. I have to support my children. I need more money."

 

Mike, on his mother who died in 1982: "I never saw my mother happy with me and proud of me for doing something: She only knew me as being a wild kid running the streets, coming home with new clothes that she knew I didn't pay for. I never got a chance to talk to her or know about her. Professionally, it has no effect, but it's crushing emotionally and personally."

 

On the Media

 

“I want to throw down your kid and stomp on his testicles, and then you will know what it is like to experience waking up everyday as me. And only then will you feel my pain.”

 

[To a female reporter] "It's no doubt I am going to win this fight and I feel confident about winning this fight. I normally don't do interviews with women unless I fornicate with them. So you shouldn't talk anymore... Unless you want to, you know."

 

"People [are] going to say what they say. It has to be for a reason. It's just for a reason. I know sometimes I say things; I offend people. I ask this lady a lewd question because I'm in a lot of pain too. I have some pain I'm gonna have for the rest of my life. And Lewis, I'm trying to give some of that pain to ya'll."

 

"You gentlemen have no idea what it's like to be myself, no idea what it's like. I'm not interested in being humiliated anymore."

 

"Sometimes you guys have no pride, so no matter what I say, you guys ... it doesn't affect you because you don't care about nothing but money. So every now and then I kick your f**king ass and stomp on you and put some kind of pain and inflict some of the pain on you because you deserve to feel the pain that I feel."

 

"If I take this camera and put it in your face for 20 years, I don't know what you might be. You might be a homosexual if I put that camera on you since you were 13 years old. I've been on that camera since I was 13 years old."

 

On Religion

 

"All praise is to Allah, I'll fight any man, any animal, if Jesus were here I'd fight him too."

 

"I feel like sometimes that I was born, that I'm not meant for this society because everyone here is a f**king hypocrite. Everybody says they believe in God but they don't do God's work. Everybody counteracts what God is really about. If Jesus was here, do you think Jesus would show me any love? Do you think Jesus would love me? I'm a Muslim, but do you think Jesus would love me ... I think Jesus would have a drink with me and discuss ... why you acting like that? Now, he would be cool. He would talk to me. No Christian ever did that and said in the name of Jesus even ... They'd throw me in jail and write bad articles about me and then go to church on Sunday and say Jesus is a wonderful man and he's coming back to save us. But they don't understand that when he comes back, that these crazy greedy capitalistic men are gonna kill him again."

 

Stacey McKinley: "He sees a guy beggin' in the street and he gives him a hundred dollars. I'll say, 'Man, y'know the guy's just gonna spend it on crack!' But he says, 'I leave it to Allah to judge him.'"

 

"I'm a man. I lived it and I'm not afraid to die but when I die I'm going to paradise and I'm not worried."

 

On Himself

 

"The one thing I know, everyone respects the true person and everyone's not true with themselves. All of these people who are heroes, these guys who have been lily white and clean all their lives, if they went through what I went through, they would commit suicide. They don't have the heart that I have. I've lived places they can't defecate in."

 

"I'm not Mother Teresa. But I'm also not Charles Manson!"

 

"Fear is your best friend or your worst enemy. It's like fire. If you can control it, it can cook for you; it can heat your house. If you can't control it, it will burn everything around you and destroy you. If you can control your fear, it makes you more alert, like a deer coming across the lawn."

 

"I'm just like you. I enjoy the forbidden fruits in life, too. I think it's un-American not to go out with a woman, not to be with a beautiful woman, not to get my dick sucked ... It's just what I said before, everybody in this country is a big f**king liar. [The media] tells people ... that this person did this and this person did that and then we find out that were just human and we find out that Michael Jordan cheats on his wife just like everybody else and that we all cheat on our f**king wife in one way or another either emotionally, physically or sexually or one way."

 

"There's no one perfect. We're always gonna do that. Jimmy Swaggart is lascivious, Mike Tyson is lascivious -- but we're not criminally, at least I'm not, criminally lascivious. You know what I mean. I may like to fornicate more than other people -- it's just who I am. I sacrifice so much of my life, can I at least get laid? I mean, I been robbed of my most of my money, can I at least get [oral sex] without the people wanting to harass me and wanting to throw me in jail?"

 

"At times, I come across as crude or crass, that irritates you when I come across like a Neanderthal or a babbling idiot at times. But I like to be that person. I like to show you all that person because that's who you come to see."

 

"I'm the most irresponsible person in the world. The reason I'm like that is because, at 21, you all gave me $50 or $100 million, and I didn't know what to do. I'm from the ghetto. I don't know how to act. One day I'm in a dope house robbing somebody. The next thing I know, 'You're the heavyweight champion of the world.' ... Who am I? What am I? I don't even know who I am. I'm just a dumb child. I'm being abused. I'm being robbed by lawyers. I think I have more money than I do. I'm just a dumb pugnacious fool. I'm just a fool who thinks I'm someone. And you tell me I should be responsible?"

 

On His Mental Health

 

"I don't know if I'm mentally sick, but I have... episodes sometimes. I'm a depressant kind of dude. I have episodes, and I'm human. But no one cares about my health as a human because sometimes I'm in my episodes when I'm at work."

 

"Well, [contemplating suicide] goes through everyone's mind, I'm sure. And if it doesn't I really must be crazy. Everyone thinks about that because sometimes, you know what I mean, it's just tough being a ni**er and it's tough being a bad ni**er."

 

I don't react to a tragic happening any more. I took so many bad things as a kid and some people think I don't care about anything. It's just too hard for me to get emotional. I can't cry no more."

 

"I'm on the Zoloft [an antidepressant] to keep from killing y'all."

 

On America

 

"I'm just a dark guy from a den of iniquity. A dark shadowy figure from the bowels of iniquity. I wish I could be Mike who gets an endorsement deal. But you can't make a lie and a truth go together. This country wasn't built on moral fiber. This country was built on rape, slavery, murder, degradation and affiliation with crime."

I believe Tyson is intelligent. He just has a little few loose nuts combined with being misunderstood.

 

But yeah, a lot of those quotes are hilarious. But at the same time many times he tries to be funny. Don't think he doesn't know it.

holy fucking god those quotes were hilarious. i don't think i've ever laughed that loud sitting at the computer before. :lol:

you all are sleepin on the anti-chicken abuse communist, they're out for some caged chicken loving blood. i'm going to call it pro-chicks in three.
