Mike Tyson, Called out/Butterbean quits

um, I think he did punk him around. The way this guy throws none stop, and with his reach, it might be a pretty tough fight for mike

who does this dumbass choy fucker think he is? I mean, just because Tyson is officially DONE fighting, he thinks he can punk him around? WHAT A PUSSY THAT GUY IS! Tyson would tear his ass up!um, I think he did punk him around.

I'm sure Tyson could excel in K-1 but no way in the UFC. Didn't Sapp beat Hoost before, i know mike could do better than Sapp

By the time the guy from UFC grabs Mike's ankles, he will be dead with a punch on the back of the head. Tyson is a crazy & he can fight dirty with the best of them. He will kill Ken shamrock or anyone else from UFC. These guys from UFC can't take a good punch, if a professional boxer with a big punch hits them once, they will be dead. Like I said before a guy like Corrie Sanders will kill anyone from UFC with the UFC rules. I saw the UFC champion fought this other guy with a little punch, that guy just followed him & knocked him out cold. Just imagine a big puncher from professional boxing hits one of the UFC guys, its goodnight. UFC is entertaining for kids. I'd hate to break it to you, but there's a reason why these fringe contenders in boxing have never tried their hand at UFC. Why wouldn't there be more boxers fighting no-holds barred rules? Especially aging boxers and the ones who don't have a chance at a belt. Boxing is NOT a complete fighting system. Mike would be another Tank Abbott. They'd set him up with a few easy fights to get the crowd all worked up behind him, and eventually he'll get embarassed by a top-tier ground fighter. I'd put my life savings on it.

http://www.k-1usa.net/docs/news/news.asp?news_id=50730 open up the stand off pic with Akibono and choy, see how big this guy really is

No pictures? No i didn't take my camera to the event. Although Tyson did have 2 girls with him, one was the girl on King mag. I'll see if i can find a pic of choy, tyson lookded really small standing next to him.

This thread is atrocious. You do know there's a difference between K-1 and UFC right? And whoever said Tyson would kill K-1 and UFC fighters in a boxing ring...NO SHIT. Tyson would beat anyone in K-1, most likely. But stepping into the octagon(UFC/Pride) against people who fight on the ground, I GAURANTEE you Tyson gets his ass handed to him. There is no way he's gonna knock someone out who's at his ankles and dropping him to the canvas. I highly doubt Mike is very flexible, and he would be tapped out within seconds of hitting the ground. Mark my fucking words. You don't think Mike's considred going into UFC for money? He's desperate for cash. Remember when Ken Shamrock called him out to come fight him in UFC rules? Yeah, didn't happen...

Trust me it takes like many perfect kicks to do a little damage, but by that time a perfect punch will land on the jaw & it will be goodnight. Yes of course very often one punch can cause a knockout. But you fail to aknowledge that a well placed and well timed kick to the knee can also cause a knockout.

I think any boxer can take a few kicks in the leg, . No I am afraid not. If those kicks land right. It does not matter who you are. You knee/leg is f***ked, and in some cases broken. These guys practice by kicking through stacked pieces of cement which when stacked is harder to go through than a little bone or tendon around the knee area.

The reason I mentioned UFC & pride because I put k-1 in the same league. I know what K-1 is & I don't think any K-1 guy can beat a guy like Corrie Sanders & I'm giving you a c lass boxer in Sanders. Corrie Sanders will destroy any of those guys from K-1 with one punch, I've been in a fight with this big Karate dude & guess what his kicks didn't do shit to me. A punch is much stronger then a kick, kicks look good & it makes it entertaining. You might have been fighting "some big Karate dude" but it was surely not a guy of the caliber of Ernesto Hoost. This guys kicks break you leg. I dont care how tough you are. You cannot fight through a broken leg. :rofl:

Real boxers will kill these guys from k-1, one thing you forget most guys from K-1 or UFC can't punch for shit, if they did, they would've been in boxing making some real money. K-1, Pride & UfC are entertaining for kids, but those guys will get killed by a real boxer. You overgeneralize, which leads me to question your knowlege of the sport of K-1. K-1 and UFC PRIDE are entirely different sports In K-1 it is basically kickboxing with gloves on the hands and everything. In UFC and PRIDE they dont use gloves and that mostly comes down to wrestling ability.

Tyson will KO Ernesto Hoost with one punch & then he will byte him. I've seen some fights, not a big fan of K-1 or UFC, you have bunch of bums fighting. I am not a fan of UFC or PRIDE. I am sort of a fan of K-1. But Ernesto Hoost would kill Tyson with leg kicks. He is not going to get KO'd real quick like you think. Ernesto Hoost is also way bigger than Tyson. And it is not like he cant punch, the guy can bang with his fists as well.

Read my first post, I added a thing about the Karate guys. Most of these guys in K-1 can't kick for shit, I mean you look at Bruce Lee & then you look at these guys, big difference in my eyes. Trust I've gotten kicked by this big Karate dude, a kick is not like a punch. Kicks look good, but punches can make a big difference in a fight. Yea they dish out some money, but nowhere near what boxing pays. Check the internet & you will find that these guys don't make shit. I think you maybe should watch a Ernesto Hoost highlight film and see how his kicks mangle the knees of some of his opponents. If he lands one of those kicks on you just the way he wants it. No way are you going to be able to take it and fight on. Tyson like I said has no experience against that type of attack.

If that guy was so good, why he never tried real boxing. Boxing makes you rich & famous, most k-1 & UFC fighters know that they never have a chance against a real boxer. A real boxer will destroy these guys from K-1 or UFC in a boxing ring. Tyson has no experience at trying to punch and avoid getting kicked in the knee to such a way that it ends your ability to walk. K-1 is whole nother ballgame than boxing. Short 2 mineut rounds that would benefit Tyson. But I dont think you can make it in K-1 without some backround in martial arts. And your wrong about the whole money thing. Ernesto Hoost is from the Netherlands. In the Netherlands I think K-1 and other mixed martial arts sports are more popular than boxing. Same in Japan and other countries that dish out money.

Stevie Collins giving some guy a beatdown on the ropes, I have to admit he was as tough as they come http://www.allsportgallery.co.uk/previews/Z0222618ca.jpg

McKay, on a sidenote, I've noticed that you admire white brawlers like LaMotta, Marciano, Steve Collins, Gatti, McBride etc.. those with heart and fight. Your always biased towards them. It's cool though.

Tyson will destroy anyone in K-1 or UFC, all it takes is one punch from Tyson. I don't ever see Tyson doing these cheap fights, it doesn't pay much, Tyson is looking for big money. I doubt that. I have seen big punchers in K-1. I saw this one guy in a tournament that knocked out every single one of his opponents in the first round on punches but in the final round of the tournament he came up against Ernesto Hoost and he was down for the count and seriously injured from of those kick's to the knee. Tyson would be in a wheelchair taking a clean kick to the side of the knee from a guy like Ernesto Hoost.

who does this dumbass choy fucker think he is? I mean, just because Tyson is officially DONE fighting, he thinks he can punk him around? WHAT A PUSSY THAT GUY IS! Tyson would tear his ass up!

If butterbean can win in K-1 i'm sure the quicker, harder hitting Mike would do well, he would just need to hire someone to teach him how to BLOCK low and hi kicks, he wouldn't even need to know how to kick himself. Gary Goodridge won lst night without using kicks, just pure power

Well I gaurantee you he has a better chance in K-1 than Pride or UFC. He would get destroyed by any good takedown artist. I don't care how hard he hits.
