In two weeks former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson (50-5) will fight Kevin McBride (32-4-1) in his first fight since he was stopped by Danny Williams last July. When Tyson meets McBride, it will mark exactly three years almost to the day that he fought Lennox Lewis for the heavyweight title. Against Lewis, Tyson was competitive for the first round and about half of the second. Starting in round three, Tyson didn't show anything other than he could take a punch, finally succumbing to Lewis in round eight.
Since losing to Lewis, Tyson is 1-1. However, it will cost at least forty dollars to watch him attempt to do to McBride what the plan was set up for him to do against Danny Williams, score an impressive knockout inside of two or three rounds. With the state of today's heavyweight division, Tyson is never more than one spectacular knockout from being in the heavyweight mix. The fact that McBride was stopped by the only two good heavyweights he ever fought before fighting Tyson won't matter a bit. Luckily for Tyson, a majority of his most ardent fans are bigger fans of him than they are boxing. They want to see Tyson knock somebody out, it doesn't matter who the victim is as long as Tyson looked impressive.
