It was a great fight but I think he needs to hang up the gloves.
he lost? he went from the best down to nothing, but at least he has that nice tattoo on his face...
He didn't try to eat his opponent this time? :D

He WAS one of the greatest, but Loz is right, time to hang it up.

What a waste!!!!!

if he is ever going to have a chance at it again, he has got to learn to jab and quit going after the easy kill - he isnt a youngun any more and he needs to keep the jab going to mark distance until he can let one fly later in the rounds
I dont understand when these once great athletes come back way beyond thier appropriate retirements and taint thier legacies..he was number one in the world like what 18 years ago? you gotta know when its time 2 hang up the gloves/skates/cleats/jersey.
he is 38 years old, retire, oh i forgot, he's bankrupt, he cantQuote:

a nonse is a nonse.
i think people often criticise him because:
1) lack of professionalism biting ears, starting fights etc.
2) serial rapist who went to jail

We'll see if its BS. It would be a fukkin stupid lie to tell since it pretty mcuh will gaurantee him retiring from boxing. he was to fight 7 or 8 fights in 3 years. pretty tough doin that with torn ligaments.
LOL think about it, he was beat bad! He was out matched! Our gunned! So the best thing to do, the most logical if your a representitive of tyson it to think of an excuse for him to of be beaten.
Listen up. I was at that fight....It was at freedom hall in Louisville, only 2 hours away from my house. If any of you out there are questioning if he was really hurt or not... let me clarify... his leg was ****ed. He couldn't push forward on williams anymore really after round one.... And if any of you know anything about Tyson... if he can't push... he's ****ed. I dropped $120 X 2 for my tickets and I would do it again to watch him fight. He's not what he was, but he's still a great boxer.
hehe
He has never been a great boxer, even when he was the champ. He is a great fighter. He won off pure ability to fight. He cant box worth a **** though.Quote:

When your knee goes out like that, you can't keep the pressure on your opponinent and you can't evade punches. In short, he couldn't have out boxed Williams if he wanted to. His trainer said that was his game plan. Plans ruinend, he tried to fight and lost. I think that's why he didn't get up, it hurt to bad in his knee.
If he had quit after the first round he knew that the press was going to call him a wuss for wussing out after the first round. He doesn't have much face to save, but he tried any way. Mark of a true warrior.
the truth is he would have killed him if he didnt fuk up his knee
kill kill kill
