Subject: The End For Mike Tyson?

Written By: Indy Gent on 07/30/04 at 11:36 pm

It looks like the end of a successful but tumultuous boxing career of one Mike Tyson. He was battered for 3 rounds, then knocked out in the 4th round by British fighter Danny Williams tonight. This has to be the most embarrassing loss for Irony Mike, even most humbling than the Buster Douglas debacle. He probably wishes he was back in prison. ::) ;D

He has to be thanking his lucky stars that he didn't decide to fight in the K1. :o

To me his career was over the day Evander (2+2 is 22) Hollyfield knocked him senseless.

I don't think this is the end but Tyson had recieved a harsh lesson from Williams. Shape up or fall to the canvas. Tyson's entourage blamed a bad knee - They all have their excuses.  ;D

Mineke is a company that sells and repairs mufflers and other auto parts.

In addition to endorsing the Lean Mean Grilling Machine, George Foreman is also the Meineke spokesperson :)

Oh I see. Thanks Rice (sorry Howard for not getting your in-joke  ;D). Foreman's quick to get a dollar or two, isn't he? Still, I don't blame him after all the years he's boxed his brains out for money.

I have to wonder if Tyson has any intelligence left..if he was smart enough,he would have already retired!

If he was smart enough, he wouldn't have called Desiree at 2:00 in the morning from his Indy hotel room. And if Desiree was smart enough, she wouldn't have bothered to come. ::)

Remember when he used to set you up for a knockout meaning a wink from his left eye says that he's ready to give you a left hook to the face.He'd knock me out in 30 seconds.He was difficult to beat. ;D

They say Iron Mike "burned through" the $300M he had and is now $38M in debt.

How in God's good name does one human waste $300 million in so few years ??  :o

It's not fair (but it's honest economics) the money that's paid to some sports/entertainment people.

Yes, he did a promo for D-Generation X at Wrestlemania 14. I think the end of the match was that Shawn got really angry with Mike for siding with Austin and then Mike lands a punch on him. What does this show me about the Vince McMahon and the WWE? Celebrities always back a winner.
