    Tyson Vs that irish bum on June 20th

    Mike Tyson will most likely face Irish Kevin McBride on 20th June. This fight surely gets my heart racing. This brave and conifident selection of opponent clearly shows that Iron Mike is serious about his boxing career. I heard that Klitscko ( Vitali ) heard about the possibly McBride/Tyson encounter and got worried! He reasoned Tyson is fighting a tall guy, this is a clear preparation for a fight with Klit.
    The hunger of Tyson is clear to see too! His eagarness to fight is so much that he needs 4 different trainers within a few months, this clearly shows Mikes love for boxing knowledge and success!
    Mike had averaged a fight a year of late, and some have reasoned he hasn`t the heart to fight anymore, i call that crap. Clearly Mike only fights this often because his desire to fight 5 or 6 times a year would burn him out. He must fight infrequently as he wants to keep his energy levels high!
    The heavyweight division better beware. Mike will regain his head movement, combo punching, his jab, his menace! He`s gonna unify the division and take over!

      Props to Tyson for taking on such a fearsome advesary in his first fight back. I am worried it might be a little too much, this early. I hope he doesn't get knocked out.

        Tyson was done a long time ago. He can't dominate the heavyweight division, he hasn't for years.
        It used to be he ate up journeymen like this. Nowadays these guys actually have a chance against him.
        Time has already run out for him and he's still fighting bums. He should be taking bigger profile fights to make some money. After all, that's the only reason he's still fighting, he owes a lot of money and this is the only way he can pay it back. He already admitted that he still wouldn't be fighting if he wasn't so badly in debt.
        Don't any of the higher profile guys want a fight with Tyson? Toney, Wlad or Vitali, Ruiz, Byrd, Rahman etc.
        Is it that none of those guys want to fight him or is it that he doesn't want to fight any of them?

          I though he was scheduled to take on Laila Ali on June 20th. That would've been a cracker.

              THank you for the update sir! I would love to see Tyson fight again. Even at his age I think he still has a lot to offer in the sport.

                What made me wonder is that the "The Clones Colossus" is trained by Goody Petronelli. One would think that he had better things to do then train McBride.

                  Kimmy is being sarcastic, he hates Tyson but enjoys to talk about him.

                    McBribe looks a bit soft on the stomach area. I think Tyson can hurt him early by punching him there and really stun him. Anyone else think this will be an effective way of winning?
