View Full Version : Whoa.. McBride is a huge guy compared to Tyson! Take a look
!! Mr. Soprano 05-19-2005, 01:56 PM http://msn.foxsports.com/id/3624842_4_1.jpg
McBride - 6'6 - 260 pounds (based on last performance)
Tyson - 5'11 - 233 pounds (based on last performance)
What do you think of this circus show?
P.S. I know, I know.. the bigger they are, the harder they fall :D
spinksjinx 05-19-2005, 01:58 PM I am picking Mcbride, his height and weight he will lean on Tyson and probably push him over lol....But I do expect him to lean and hold a lot. Bad choice for Tyson.

P.S. I know, I know.. the bigger they are, the harder they fall :DAll of the McBride's 4 losses are by a way KO.
Tyson never had trouble with big guys as he comes in and workes them on the inside... Well, not really on the inside, but within his reach lol.
He actually liked the big bums. But this was 'old' Tyson, what about the 'Now' Tyson
Zab Super Judah 05-19-2005, 03:01 PM mcbride has no head movement at all..I saw him on espn once..you can just go straight at him and throw any punch and it will connect

Yeah sure. Tell that to Lennox. Tyson a bum and he'll probably lose to this other bum.
majestiC 05-19-2005, 03:18 PM i reckon tyson KO 2nd round ^^
tri4ben2 05-19-2005, 04:20 PM What a ruckus.
The reason that they picked McBride is because he is big and slow and has a horrible jab. Fighters that can jab against Tyson and pick him apart do well, fighters that want to brawl get killed. McBride knows in his heart that if he had a shot to win, he wouldn't be fighting.
McBride is stumble along for a round or two and then get knocked out and everybody and their grandmother will be back on the Tyson bandwagon talking about how Tyson is going to clean up the division.
Tyson can make some marginally entertaining fights in the future and can make some money, but to think that he will ever be what he once was is rediculous.
Tyson's quote says it best. "If I win, he's a bum. If he wins, I am a bum. Either way it is going to be a train wreck."
Tha Greatest 05-19-2005, 04:22 PM I hope everyone bets on McBride so I can win more...
I heard he is a slow ass mother****er and that my grandma can punch faster than him...
Tha Greatest 05-19-2005, 04:22 PM I am picking Mcbride, his height and weight he will lean on Tyson and probably push him over lol....But I do expect him to lean and hold a lot. Bad choice for Tyson.
You wanna make a 5 million point bet?
Manny_P 05-19-2005, 04:28 PM LOL. Go Tysooooon!
dansweeney 05-19-2005, 04:28 PM tyson will slaughter this guy, 1st round kayo, and then he will kayo ruiz in 10 seconds
realheavyhands 05-19-2005, 05:02 PM i heard tysons coming in closer to 220 and mcbride 270..thats 50 damn lbs..for his first fight back off knee surgery 50 pounds crazy..

I watched Mcbrides last fight, and he seems to be very limited....He took forever to get rid of a bum...Tyson by KO within the first minute of the fight...
Floydmayweather 05-19-2005, 05:24 PM This fight well be over quick Mcbride stands up right and has no head movement and is soft in the gut.
The_One77 05-19-2005, 05:35 PM give me a ****in break, anyone who thinks kevin will win should count their chickens and grill them on george foreman's frying machine, then pluck their feathers and have anal sex up there butthole.....
Anyway, back to the point... Mcbride looks like a baby compared to mike, he's a big, slow, ugly, irish bum looking for a name for himself by facing mike tyson.
Everyone, this fight is just a stepping stone to mike tyson's third heavyweight championship crown.
P.s= George foreman grilling machines are $15.99 in all american good stores. It took me 2 mins to write this post so u better buy the grilling machine.
The Pretender 05-19-2005, 06:43 PM Tyson isnt doing **** and will never be hw champ again. He's a shot bum, the worst shot bum of them all. And a bigger loser than Golota.
paul750 05-19-2005, 06:48 PM tyson may be well past it, but he should have no trouble beating this mcbride guy, he should win it in the first two rounds
Living Legend 05-19-2005, 07:20 PM Tyson isnt doing **** and will never be hw champ again. He's a shot bum, the worst shot bum of them all. And a bigger loser than Golota.
If Tyson ever gets a shot at Ruiz's title, he will DEFINATELY be a HW Champ again...Is it just me or does ruiz look like one of the security guys at a hotel...?
The Pretender 05-19-2005, 07:37 PM tyson may be well past it, but he should have no trouble beating this mcbride guy, he should win it in the first two rounds
I hope he somehow loses so he is finally labeled a bum for good. This comeback crap is ridiculous and repetitive. Recall people said the same thing about him facing a journeyman Williams.
The Pretender 05-19-2005, 07:37 PM If Tyson ever gets a shot at Ruiz's title, he will DEFINATELY be a HW Champ again...Is it just me or does ruiz look like one of the security guys at a hotel...?
I can count on two hands how many contenders people said that about, yet Ruiz still remains champ.
Floydmayweather 05-19-2005, 08:29 PM No whats crap are Ruiz boxing skills he can only get beat by middleweights for so long and still be champ. As soon as he fights someone like Vitali, or Tyson he is done, hopefully for good.
spinksjinx 05-19-2005, 08:42 PM Ruiz would hold Tyson to an ugly decision or Tyson would get disqualified, no way would Ruiz switch to the style he fought Toney with. He wouldnt be that stupid.
Another thing, Williams was brought in because he was more in the comfort zone for Tyson and looked what happened? Just last year everyone spitted the same words about Williams and it is a repeat with Mcbride.
Tyson isnt jack anymore the beginning of the end for Tyson was the Douglas loss and anybody who is a realist knows this and knows Tyson was done when Holyfield got a hold of him. Since that Douglas loss Tyson hasnt done anything to be considered a contender or a future champion.
Kimmy 05-19-2005, 08:58 PM Why is it every thrend some how winds up discussing the vertures of John Ruiz? ( i know why, i just don`t wanna say it AGAIN!)
McBride is a terrible excuse for a fighter. But i think people are missing the point. We know Tyson is gonna KO this bum, thats why he has been picked. What i wanna know is why are people not condeming Tyson for such a poor choice opponent. Don`t give me the tune up fight excuse. The guy is 40 next year, Danny Williams was his tune up fight. All his fans keep telling of Tson regaining the title blah blah. Does anyone realize how stupid that sounds in light of this fight being made?
Wake up and see it for what it is. Tyson trying to make as much money as possible without taking any risks. This is not the attitude of a man in mind to win a title. It`s a whore, a whore selling his name for a cheap trick at the back of a bus shelter. A wrinkled whore who`s only sexual attration is her experience and dirty reputation, like a whore, Tyson is standing on the street corner and he`s going up to the lowest customers on the block.
Torino 05-19-2005, 10:27 PM I've seen McBride fight a couple times in person. He's a big, decent fighter who has already reached the summit of his career. He is NOT on the same level as even an old Tyson. He's not as bad a Peter McNeely, but still not an "A", and maybe not even a "B" class opponent. If Tyson looses, his career is over and must retire or go the same way as Holyfeild.
The Pretender 05-19-2005, 11:02 PM No whats crap are Ruiz boxing skills he can only get beat by middleweights for so long and still be champ. As soon as he fights someone like Vitali, or Tyson he is done, hopefully for good.
I love how pathetic you all's logic when you say Ruiz gets beat by middleweights, yet no heavyweights in the div can beat him. Why? Because Ruiz the top hw in boxing today. Those two middleweights prob beat any of the other hw's for sure at the times they fought Ruiz.
YoungTurk 05-20-2005, 12:24 AM If Tyson takes longer than 2 rounds with this guy, Tyson should retire. Iron Mike in 1 is my pick, not that anybody cares. McBride has never fought anybody like Mike Tyson. Tyson has fought plenty like McBride. This could go the way of Sammy Scaff. It should.
The height is a plus for Tyson. It will help prepare him for Vitali Klitschko's height, and probably skill level. Vitali probably is not much more skilled than this McBride. I'm only partially joking.
Slipx 05-20-2005, 04:42 AM lol pretender
that pic of ruiz and bush in your avatar is funny
1.tells me you are dumb enough to support bush
2.tells me you seriously consider ruiz a great fighter
makes you a gimp, nonetheless i still think the look on bush/ruizs face is funny
the giant one 05-20-2005, 04:57 AM Unlike Williams, who actually had been in with a few name guys( Sinal Sinai Sam (sp?), Julius Francis to name a couple) Mcbride has not been in the ring with even close to top 10 competition. A 1 legged tyson should be able to take him out in 2. if not he should retire to tearing up nightclubs in Arizona like he was doing before . Ill be there to see the spectacle
moochi 05-20-2005, 07:09 AM i see tyson ko'ing him with a huge body shot........
kapersky 05-20-2005, 07:29 AM tyson maybe is not as he was, but he still got enough to ko mcbride
easy. mcbride is a slow and big target and we know what tyson can do like he did to bruno. i see tyson ko mcbride within 3 rounds.
tyson 05-20-2005, 07:37 AM I will win this fight :D
the giant one 05-20-2005, 07:42 AM I will win this fight :D
YOU HEARD IT FOLKS! IM WITHDRAWING ALL MY POINTS NOW AND PUTTING THEM ON THIS MAN! TYSON HAS SPOKEN :D :p :D
masterdirector 05-20-2005, 09:22 AM Wait, McBride promised he would stop Tyson! Therefore I have no doubt McBride will do just that.
I will be surprised if this goes beyond 2 minutes.
Makes me wonder what Tyson is training so hard for.

Christ, I am SO sick of your ignorant bull****. You took what could've been sort of a funny, short-term schtick, and you turned it into such a ****ing bother that people can't even stand to read your posts. Do yourself a favor. Get rid if the Pretender alias, stop posting ANYTHING about Ruiz, and get a ****ing life. Until then, you're ignored. I hate to do it, but I can't remember the last time you said anything even remotely interesting or useful, so I'm ****ing DONE reading your bull****.
Stickman 05-20-2005, 10:12 AM I agree with the majority of you guys...Tyson in 2 or less, or he needs to retire premanently and immediately. McBride's punches are so slow you can have a smoke between launch and connect....anyone who can't slip, block or counter his shots ought to be anywhere besides boxing.
adeelr 05-20-2005, 10:16 AM Tyson got a tough task ahead of him, lay some bombs on him in the early rounds, if he doesn't go down then relax a bit and box a little bit, this guy is not that experienced he will probably give tyson a chance in the later rounds.
tyson in 2, if he loses this one he is done for good.
if he wins he should rematch williams.
hollister 05-20-2005, 10:44 AM It'll probably go like the Savarese fight, Tyson will catch him a couple of times, and they'll stop it before the fight really even gets started.
Soundtraveler 05-20-2005, 11:27 AM Tyson never had trouble with big guys as he comes in and workes them on the inside...
Tyson has never fought really big men well, all of his losses, (except Holyfield) have been against really big men.....
kapersky 05-20-2005, 11:27 AM tyson in 2, if he loses this one he is done for good.
if he wins he should rematch williams.
yes i want to see tyson rematch williams. so he can show some heart and will... but like everybody said if he cant ko mcbride he is done for good.

Do I hear a violin playing? :bottle:

You know, you're right..
David Jaco (TKO 1st round) and Conroy Nelson (TKO 2nd) were the only once of McBride's statue.. (6'6)
Than you also have Tyrell Biggs, Jose Ribalta who are 6'5
A few guys that are 6'4. I guess it was just my impression since most of the havies are about 6'3... so they are BIG compared to Tyson.
Soundtraveler 05-20-2005, 08:22 PM I'm not saying he can't beat this guy, I am just saying really big guys give him trouble, Bonecrusher went the distance with him, so did Ruddock, Lennox beat him like a stepchild, Douglas too, Williams got lucky so I really don't count him. But when you watch the fights, most of his opponants fight small bending down to him, but the ones who fight tall (like Lennox)give him trouble....
tyson looks like a old man in a suit
Darth Warrior 05-20-2005, 10:28 PM I agree with this thread.
McBride is clearly larger than Tyson.
Saint3605 05-21-2005, 04:31 AM Tyson will knock him out in less than 2 mins. This fight isn't worth sh*t. everyone knows what's gonna happen here. couple more fights we'll see what Tyson is still worth, whether he should retire or give one last shot.
the giant one 05-21-2005, 04:53 AM Tyson/Tua would be nice to see next after he disposes of irish spring here. Loser is gone for good, winner is in the title mix. Shouold be a nice action fight too
the giant one 05-21-2005, 04:56 AM I'm not saying he can't beat this guy, I am just saying really big guys give him trouble, Bonecrusher went the distance with him, so did Ruddock, Lennox beat him like a stepchild, Douglas too, Williams got lucky so I really don't count him.

mcbride doesnt have a tenth of the talent those guys had though. Dont get me wrong, anyone who steps in between those ropes is a warrior and that is a talent in itslef, but Kevin doesnt even throw a jab well it seems. This is like Tyson/Mcneely waiting to happen all over again IMO

true, but all those big guys where a lot more skilled than mc bride.
i dont think they would match him and tyson if it is possibel for mike to lose.
Truth 05-21-2005, 08:42 AM I am picking Mcbride, his height and weight he will lean on Tyson and probably push him over lol....But I do expect him to lean and hold a lot. Bad choice for Tyson.
Jinx, you make boldest predictions of anyone on this site. Mcbride doesn't have any talent at all and will drop with th first big punch Tyson lands.

sadly i wont guarantee victory for mike, i was so sure of him beating williams and we all know how that ended.
Truth 05-21-2005, 09:33 AM sadly i wont guarantee victory for mike, i was so sure of him beating williams and we all know how that ended.
Yeah but I think Mcbride real trash, I saw him fight once and he has no technique what so ever.
The Pretender 05-21-2005, 11:08 AM sadly i wont guarantee victory for mike, i was so sure of him beating williams and we all know how that ended.
And sadly, even if Tyson loses to this bum he will be back another day for another comeback with another bum. Garlic, wooden stakes, and holy water cannot kill Tyson's career.
Truth 05-21-2005, 11:10 AM And sadly, even if Tyson loses to this bum he will be back another day for another comeback with another bum. Garlic, wooden stakes, and holy water cannot kill Tyson's career.
Nah if loses this fight I wouldn't watch Tyson any more, to me it would prove ultimatley that he is shot.
The Pretender 05-21-2005, 11:18 AM I dont know because I heard that before. People been saying Tyson shot since his 2nd loss to Holy and definately after his beatdown by Lewis. But he'd draw crowds even 10 years from now I imagine.
Boxfan12 05-21-2005, 11:21 AM Is tyson done? yes tyson is done. This is what tyson is best at. Knocking out tall bums. Tyson will knock this guy out but i will not say he will win a HW tittle. No matter how much you love the guy you just cant think that. Tyson was never the same sense jail. Going into the Buster fight he had already alot of stress. so i say after jail is when he was shot.
The Pretender 05-21-2005, 11:36 AM I wonder if Tyson got his ass kicked in jail or whether they kept him separate from general population those 5 years.
And sadly, even if Tyson loses to this bum he will be back another day for another comeback with another bum. Garlic, wooden stakes, and holy water cannot kill Tyson's career.
true, no matter how bad tyson ever becomes he will allways have a huge name and sell tickets
USA4LIFE 05-21-2005, 01:46 PM When is he fighting this guy?
!! Mr. Soprano 05-21-2005, 02:08 PM When is he fighting this guy?
JCC - May 28
Tszyu - Hatton June 4th
Tyson - June 11th
Showtime 3 weeks of boxing!
Dyl-G 05-21-2005, 03:15 PM tyson will overwhelm mcbride like he does to all his other opponents and catch him with something on the inside....but maybe over all this time hes changed his style... maybe.. just maybe
