After years of waiting and very injuries by Tszyu, the fight finally happened tonight and BoxingScene drops the round by round descriptions that we have been known to do by the Boxing interent fans. Mike Tyson was interviewed prior to the start of the show and said that he wants to "come back and fight if the circumstances are right". Mike said that he was in the dressing room of Sharmba Mitchell and thinks that the two year layoff by Kostya Tszyu will have an effect on the fight. Tyson said that he is pulling for Sharmba to win this fight. There are no undercard fights on the televised telecast and we are going straight to the main event.
Jim Grey stated that after speaking to Sharmba Mitchell and Kostya Tszyu, he said that the fight appears to be much more important to Sharmba Mitchell, he feels that Kostya Tszyu is looking at Mitchell as just another fight. Tszyu said prior to the fight that his shoulder is 100% and Mitchell said that his leg is 100% as well.
Sharmba Mitchell is the first man to walk to the ring, Kostya Tszyu walks to the ring second and is followed by a Russian pop star. The same female pop star who followed him in a previous fight and is singing the same song "I'm going to knock you out tonight". The crowd is pretty weird tonight, it sounds like both guys are getting booed, or at least the boos are drowning out the cheers.
