Excerpt Although they got along well, Lewis got a glimpse of Tyson's rage in the opening moments of their first sparring session, when Tyson gave him a bloody nose. "The bell rang and all of a sudden, Tyson just turned into an animal," Boehm told the paper. "Mike came charging across the ring like a raging tiger, like a man possessed." When that first session was over, Lewis and Tyson were back hanging out together. But as they boxed more rounds, Lewis began to assert himself. And, as Boehm recalled, "By the end of the fourth or fifth session, Lennox was taunting Mike. Lennox was laughing at him, playing with him. "Mike said, 'Come on, come on, hit me you son of a *****.' And Cus said, 'That's enough, Mike,' and it stopped right there." Rooney, who still lives in Catskill, has a more hazy recollection of that week but he does remember the sessions at the Catskill Boxing Club, above the local police station. "Mike more than held his own with Lennox," Rooney says. "Mike did good with him, and Lewis didn't dominate. We brought him up because we were having a hard time getting sparring for Mike and we'd heard about Lewis." When his visit to the Catskills was over, Lewis says that D'Amato told him that he and Tyson were "destined" to fight each other as pros. "At that time, Cus D'Amato actually said we "destined" to fight as pros |
