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

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

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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....

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
