Yeah that fight was weird, because Tyson was ahead on my cards at the time he quit the fight. If he would have just kept grinding.....he would have won a decision and then could have retired if he didn't feel like fighting anymore.
You're the first person Ive heard that said they had Mcbride winning. I saw that fight on PPV and uhhh,dude wasnt winning.
I'll watch it again, possibly I was influenced by the commentary. (This was Colonel Bob Sheridan).
Maybe I should clarify: rather than McBride winning, it was more Tyson losing. That wasn't Tyson that night, just a sad old man tired of life. A sad sight to see.

When Prime Tyson got hit alittle more then what he was used to,they always gave that round to the other guy.I guess they assume its Tyson they're looking at,and that he should always be at his best,and rarely get hit.
That's an interesting point... I think I've only seen the McBride fight once. My memory is that Mike had nothing left, and was resorting to illegal tactics to muddle his way through before gassing out. (Interestingly, the ads in Limeyland were all based around how he loses it, including shots of him bending arms in earlier fights).

I cant recall him bending arms in earlier fights.The ones I remember were vs. Bruce Seldon,Mcbride,Saverese,Botha. Maybe Im wrong.
With the Mcbride fight,yeah he was tired,but Tyson was popping him with power shots threwout the rounds.The only thing Mcbride really did was put his weight on him. I think he got discouraged when Mcbride didnt go down,also he was probably tiring,and he just said **** it.
Sorry, when I said "earlier fights", I meant earlier than the McBride fight. I also said that cos I couldn't remember for the life of me the name of the guy he did it to (It was Botha).
And yeah, Tyson's mental game is probably the biggest disappointment as a fan of his. The only time he's ever really battled back against adversity is with Douglas. That was a honorable loss, but he just caved in mentally against Holyfield and was shot to pieces against the rest.
