    Cool Story

    I was in a old Po Dunk bar here in Texas.. More of an Biker Ice house. The walls and ceiling were covered with years of beer posters layers and layers.

    When the new management came in they cleaned up a little bit and removed the top couple layers of posters. I was shooting pool and looked up and saw the corner of a boxing poster. So I had the old lady that owned the place peel back the poster and found the original Tyson vs Holyfield poster. This poster is unique because Tyson went to jail and that fight never happened...

    Even searching the internet for this poster I can't find it to post.... It's back when Holyfield had the Kid and Play square haircut and Tyson had lines in his cut in his hair... It's a painting of them fighting not real photo as they had never met yet....

    The original fight was scheduled for Nov, 8th 1991.
    I offered her $5 and she said $10... Deal...

    I will take a picture and send in....

    Enjoyed reading that, man. I could envision everything clearly.

    That lady must be watching too many of those collectors shows, like "American Pickers". That poster would've either remained hidden for years or peeled off and thrown in the garbage. It meant nothing to her. Good thing you offered five bucks. If you had offered ten, she would've asked for twenty. lol

    BTW, what town was this in?
