Tyson switching from regular boxing to muaythai??

[FrankJack]

I've only seen Bob Sapp fight once, and he seemed like a real scrub....no offense or nothin cus I could be wrong. But, I was watchin him fight this bald black guy and he was swingin REAL wide and REAL slow. And then he got hit with a single shot to his stomach and that messed up his whole day, he still won, cus it was stopped when he got the guy in a corner and connected twice.

But Tyson kickboxing? I dunno, I can't really see it.

I still can't imagine Tyson raising those legs and delivering roundhouse kicks. In any case, he'll certainly elevate the sport to a new high level of popularity and excitement. Fans would follow him there for sure.

Do you think his legs and knees would be as effective as his hands? One other area of concern would be his defense.

...I say he gets his ass kicked if he tries it. I don't know about muythai but I wouldn't mind seeing him try a little Hari Kari.

Hara-kiri??!! With all his financial and legal woes and sagging career, he's better off committing it! Seriously, with proper intensive training and mental conditioning, he should make it big in muaythai.

Tyson seems very unsure onwhat he wants to do in life. How's he earning a living now, anybody know?

As early as 2003, Iron Mike has already filed for bankruptcy in New York. Also in the same year, rap artist 50 Cent bought his 48,000-square-foot mansion in Farmington, Connecticut for $4.1 million.

In an interview with This Is London a few months ago, Tyson announced that since declaring bankruptcy he has been sleeping in homeless shelters and living off handouts. "I've got nowhere to live. I've been crashing with friends, literally sleeping in shelters. Unsavoury characters are giving me money and I'm taking it. I need it. The drug dealers, they sympathise with me. They see me as some sort of pathetic character... I know I was a tough, bad-ass talking fighter, but I ain't no mob figure. I did my time for the ****. I paid my money to Las Vegas. I paid my dues. I ain't the same person I was when I bit that guy's ear off."

He's so desperate he'd try his luck at anything, maybe even spar with kangaroos in Australia.

whatever...every year they're saying something about Tyson. First he was going to be a pro wrestler, then he was going to be a cage fighter, then he was going to do K-1, now Muay Thai. Next they'll say he's hanging it all up to do Iron Chef.

I feel for the guy i really do. It's sad to hear that.

No I swear to god last week I got a call from a telemarketer and it was Tyson. The guy said his name was Bob but I kept asking about it and finally he admited it. I bought a couple extra months of cable out of pity.
