Yup, they are talking about it on Sportscenter. No way they would have mentioned anything about the entire card without this.

Tony Weeks is a moron. Johnson ate a dozen or more punch and doing nothing. The corner should of stopped it but the last round was were the damage was done.Originally posted by Tito Fan 83Yup, they are talking about it on Sportscenter.

I heard he actually was dead and brough back by EMT's.Comment

Being able to tell when you should stop a fight ... even brutal ones isn't easy ... you got the fighter claiming to be alright and his corner tryin to support him and his wishes. Tony is a great ref ... as I was sayin, knowing when to stop em is an art, not a science and an inexact one at that.Originally posted by Tito Fan 83I didn't even see the fight and I knew it should be stoped based on what I read various places online during the fight.
Isn't Tony Weeks pretty polished too?
In boxing, these things are inevitable when you look at what it consists of ... these things have and always will happen.Comment

well said. I'm sure everyone who was involved with the fight must feel awful right now.Originally posted by cmasoneven though the signs are'nt good, i hope he pulls through. i don't think anyone can critisize the ref or margeret goodman. he was responsive to every question put to him during the fight according to goodman. hindsight is 20/20.Comment

Wonder how this will effect Chavez Jr. He could potentially kill someone with his fists, it should have an effect on him as a person, and a fighter.Comment

Oh, I didn't watch the PPV so you know...
Anyways, yeah that will have an effect on Jesus Chavez. I'm not sure how I would continue to fight if I killed a guy in the ringComment

One word... Holyfield. Nobody outside the boxing world knew who the **** he was before his ear was eaten off. After that happened, he became a household name. If Tyson had never did him that favor, Holyfield wouldn't be doing cheesy Chili's commercials or appearing in reality show dance-offs! Now that's how the stars are really born. Believe that.Originally posted by GiantWangAnd you know what's also ****ed up? check out this cnn sports page.
What's the first article under top stories? Yep you guessed it. And the article itself is bigger than any other boxing article in a long time. Hell, the picture is even bigger. Boxing never headlines any article, unless it's negative. It's not exactly front page material, but it's bigger than any other boxing news on general sports papers/sites
That just goes to say that the only news boxing makes is negative news.
Let's all hope the mans pulls through
But not everything big in boxing spawns from negativity. There are a few exceptions. But of course, exceptions prove the rule.
Tyson for example. He didn't become the big phenomenon he is just because he was young and explosive, although that is part of it.
Tyson started gaining noteriety and fame at the same time when the video game market started blowing up. "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out" was the first boxing video game ever made, and extremely popular (even to this day). That's how Tyson started becoming a household name.
Then the whole **** thing came out, and he REALLY became a household name then.
But I do believe the video game entertainment business pushed Tyson to international stardom. Even the street fighter character Balrog was based on Tyson. Outside the US, the character Balrog was M. Bison, but the name had to be changed in the US to avoid any lawsuits or defamation of character since M. Bison is so similar to M. Tyson.Comment
