If Tyson would've done what AA did you would all praise it!

[SplitSecond]

It's wrong no matter who did it. Yesterday I posted one with Tyson vs. Bruno and Marciano vs. ****ell.

That video you showed wasn't quite as good as the Bruno one because the Bruno one he had a little more time to think. Your video he was just blasted away and he bounced off the ropes and didn't look fully down. Either way, he could have stopped. In the heat of battle it may be tough to stop but you expect a little more from Seasoned Fighters which Tyson wasn't at that point with your fight but was with Bruno.

I was more disappointed in how AA handled the post-fight press fight.

I figured the pressure of where AA was fighting on top of him being schooled got to him and when he saw the moment to strike, even if it was illegal...it registerd in his mind to take it. It was wrong so he should be praised. It's was a b.s. move because there was enough time to hold back.

There also tends to be a different Judgment on Tyson because of what he is known for so are you sure you want to come up with a thread like this that puts AA next to him?
There are other fighters you could probably use.

just keep in mind how you get an adrenaline rush when you see yoru opponent hurt and it becomes more difficult to stop then, cuz if your going after him after landing a bomb, know he's hurt, you'll feel cheated out of a ko because he took a knee
now if your having a slow fight and the guy just slips infront of you, you definitely have the time to think about what your doin

With as much heat Tyson got from biting someones ear off I highly doubt it lol.

Really I wouldn't make excuses for either. A punch against a downed opponent is a punch against a downed opponent, no matter whether the opponent is the p4p number 1 ranked fighter in the world or a local tomato can. Sometimes the fighters get away with it, sometimes they don't.

Terry Norris being DQ'd:



Roy Jones got his first professional loss for the exact same reason. Griffin took a knee, Jones blasted him with two late punches. It happens.

Yes, I kept that in mind. I think I may have mentioned it yesterday...not sure. With AA, I added other factors in it though like being in a hostile environment and getting schooled and hurt...and when he saw his moment, like an animal that is fighting for his life...he took it. It was the first big opening he had to see, Dirrell, the man that was beating him...just sitting there not moving around because he had slipped and was helpless.

Also note that Dirrell took AA's bomb early in the fight but saw it coming. This shot he did not see it coming. Don't know if anyone mentioned it.

Marciano's also was in the heat of battle after beating the **** out of ****ell but Marciano wasn't DQ. Now the hits behind the head...well...he got away with it because he was Marciano and Marciano just swung away to hit anything he could.

There are fouls in most, if not all fights.

AA was wrong, I agree. I do think they had to DQ him more so because Dirrell didn't get right up like some others in the past. Like ****ell got up and Bruno got up. Griffin for example didn't so Jones jr. got a DQ.

You just don't replace a love fighter with another fighter and ask about the public's opinion towards that. People do that with Floyd because he's just so hated but Abraham is loved by so many people.

Just stating the facts.

its called speculation not facts. coming form a guy who has the av of a man who has thrown several fights u lack credability.

Just stating the facts.

mike tyson would eat dirrell for breakfast...even now he still would be able to...he would probs eat his ears first

[xAUGUSTUSx]

So because hes a legend its okay for him to smash someone in the face while down but not okay for Arthur to do it?
Hypocritical much?

exactly my point.

No actually it is a fact. When you dirty American's like a certain fighter that fighter can get away with anything. You don't care about the opponent all you care about is your champ. No speculation

Cheap shot by Tyson.

At the same time, I think Boxing Scene needs to learn that two wrongs don't make a right.

Also, all these examples are when a fighter legitimately gets knocked down and then gets hit again when as they are sitting. Dirrell wasn't knocked down, he slipped. Then was hit by a cheapshot.
