    I like how Tyson was toying with Botha and made him build confidence only to take it away with one punch.
    Botha was frustrating to watch.
    He was holding like a ***** and doing illegal punches.
    I was happy when Mike KO'd him.

    ...Mike was getting his ass handed to him by a mediocre fighter until he landed a lucky punch.

      I don't know if I would call that lucky. Mike has looking for the opening and man did he find it!

          *rolls eyes at racist pbds*

          Come on, lucky punch? Get real. And he was hardly getting his ass handed to him. If you're going to say that kind of crap at least say it about the McBride fight instead of this one.

            This fight was one of MIke's true highlights. But I think it was most notable for the fact that he tried breaking Botha's arm right after biting holyfield.

            Another inch and I swear that arm would of broke too!!!

            Tyson is the paris hilton of boxing. You love him(her) but you know you really shouldn't.

              Tyson should've been DQ'd for the number of times he tried that **** with Botha's arm...at the end of the first, which caused quite a scene & earned him an earful from Steele, and a couple/few of times in the second?

              And if getting thoroughly outboxed by a limited fighter for four and three-quarter rounds, before scoring a devastating KO with about your only clean punch of the fight, "was one of Mike's true highlights", then my god Tyson must've had a pretty crappy boxing career...Mike looked like complete **** (in comparision to other fights of his)) for fourteen of the nearly fifteen minutes fought in that fight.

                "True Highlight" was meant to be sacrastic. I meant Hightlight as in other "true highlights" biting ear, testing positive for pot, telling reporter that she can't talk to him unless she fornicates with him, biting Lewis's leg during press conferance, etc etc

                  Ah...Ok, that makes complete sense and I should've caught on to the sarcasm, I guess.

                      The Holyfield incident should've been a sign that this lunatic should never be in the ring again, but wrenching on Botha's arm would've been enough for me to not consider ever fighting him. It was apparent that he had lost it at that point. I'm just glad he caught 3 KO's afterwards. He hit a point when he was no longer a good fighter, and just started trying to hurt people. He has no place in the sport, and I hope he never attempts another comeback.
