Comments Thread For: Fenech Explains Why He Left Mike Tyson Over Face Tattoo

[Mindgames]

What a clown

Yeah,but then guy skipping camp to get a face tattoo was acting rational I suppose? Have a day off..

Sad because "You" weren't part of the win? Fenech it was your decision to cry and fly home, should have grinded it out with Mike for one more week. Clown

Why "should" he have? Mike acted the clown skipping camp to have a a tattoo stuck on hes face. Why does everyone have to change their behaviour to fit in with the delicate ego of these drama queen's? You remind me of the people who say someone around Broner needs to save him from himself. Nah, **** that, do what you wanna do and leave the idiots sabotage their own lives.

If you guys haven't seen Etienne's paintings, they're excellent.

Mike lost all the discipline that Cus D'Amato and Kevin Rooney had instilled in him, that made him a world champion.

But even a severely degraded version of Tyson was still good enough to beat a lot of guys.

When it was time to train? Tyson could train, Instinctually he was a hard trainer 'But as you have pointed out, once he left team Tyson BOXING was not a 365 day a year obsession for him.

Very rarely was Mike Tyson ever really out of condition, even his condition up against Lennox Lewis was better than 95% of the heavyweights today 'I once read that he only trained intensely for about 6-7 weeks for that fight, Ronnie Shield's originally planned to have a longer camp' But those plans had to change due to Tyson smoking weed.

And, one of the few who made the most of his life sentence. He revealed himself to be a brilliant artist:

Wow! I vaguely remembered his legal issues but had no idea of his artistic ability. Incredibly impressive. Thanks for sharing that, I may have to order one of those prints.

Thank you for the green K, buddy! Tried to reciprocate but it didn't let me do it

Etienne is a perfect symbol of how complex the human soul can be at times. He is indeed an impressive painter. Who would have imagined that as we were watching him fight, then end his days in prison?

Everyone of us here seems to have forgotten the reason of Tyson skipping training for the Etienne fight.

He broke his back. Spinal.

Good points. However, the most serious issue for Tyson in the Lewis fight was his addiction to Zoloft. His cutman Ira Trocki said in an interview that he was on Zoloft until just before the night of the fight. That could have turned into a major tragedy. Aside from a good first round, Tyson just went to the guillotine that night, well conscious of being slaughtered.

Yes I know, it totally subdued him 'And then he is being forced into a violent situation'. The Mike Tyson that attacked Lewis at the press conference? That was the type of intensity needed for him to fight Lennox Lewis. I believe Ronnie Sheild's mentioned that the drug was affecting him negatively, well you only have to researched its side effects.

That pure unbridled violence which he displayed at the first press conference 'That was Iron Mike Tyson' that was the side of Tyson that he alludes to which has now gone or is hibernating at this time.
