    Forgot about Kassim. The build-up to his Taylor fight was like an episode of the West Wing.

      Yeah I really wanted him to win that fight, he seems so happy to, I'm not sure I could have survived his life.

        There was a really good documentary done about Kassim Ouma and his ordeal, and his boxing career. It was on HBO I think. Google it if you're interested.

          Tony Ayala jr. He was about to get a title shot and was the most promising young boxer of his time and then he gets all high and drunk and throws his career away. Comes back at 36 and wins several fights, then loses his most important fight because of eye swelling. Sucks big time!

            The recidivist con Ayala got a little more than high & drunk.

            He ****d a woman.

              Did I say he didn't? I just said he was high and drunk, totally wasted and committed a crime in this state. A crime of passion, is it called? He got 15 years for ****, while Tyson got only 6 and served 3, is that justice? The difference was that Tyson was champion and a celebrity, Ayala wasn't.

                The difference is that Ayala's crime was vicious, Tyson's really wasn't.

                It was borderline consent in Tyson's case.

                  Baah! Don't give me that, Mike obviously did **** that girl. So Ayala forced his victim at gunpoint, Mike didn't. Thats the only difference. Mike didn't need a gun, with his brutish strength. Ayala didnt really know what he was doing and that he held a gun is a proof of that. He was just on a crazy rampage. Tyson wasnt under the influence as far as I know.

                    The difference is Ayala had a history of having have twice previously assaulting women.
