Oh Jeepers, Hide the Women and Children!

Update - So, Mike didn't get up off the corner seat for the seventh round. He gave up exhausted, admiting to Jim Gray that he, "dosen't have the heart for boxing anymore, and he's only doing it to pay off his debts." A could be sad ending, to a man that grabed every ounce of his potential, through physically beating other human beings. To having a national audience watch it all slip away. I said could be, because he still has debts to pay off.




Mike Tyson, "......wait, do I really need to put anything here?


So I have the guys coming over the apartment tonight and they are all going to chip in for the cost of the pay-per-view, because as we all know, it could work out to not be worth it. But that's what keeps us watching in the same respect. I apologize, but I love Mike Tyson. He could be a rapist, and he beat up old women for their purses when he was younger, but he represents everything right and wrong in our country.

This is a guy that took the back door to being part of the elite rich, and wealthy. Yet, he came out on top completely soiled from the back door. A kid that had the talent to beat other human beings into bolivian (sic) and............well, that's it. No moral values except the ones from learning how to survive on the streets. The wrong people around him, and all the money in the world. He did what most of us would want to do if we didn't have any logic to see the inevitable. Spend all the money, and enjoy as many women as possible. Sorry, I'm just being honest. Monogamy is wonderful, but if everyone wanted a piece of you, who in their right mind wouldn't want to satisfy.

Anyways, I bet Mike is really both a rapist, and a loving teddy bear. Yes, I believe that is possible. He seems to be a little bit more humble now that he lost everything, and one of my favorite quotes from him was, "Real freedom is having nothing. I was freer when I didn't have a cent. Do you know what I do sometimes? Put on a ski mask and dress in old clothes, go out on the streets and beg for quarters." This man was not supposed to be given the luxury to do what he wants. It just sorta happened. You think I'm crazy for liking Mike Tyson, don't you? Well, you probably have met a murderer you liked and didn't even know it.

I'd probably lose that argument if you started one with me on that, but regardless, Tyson is fighting a big Irish guy named Kevin McBride, and I think it's either going to be a long brawl with Tyson possibly loosing, or Mike will chop the body, and get him with one big shot upstairs. We'll see. He told McBride at the weigh in that, "I'm going to gut you like a fish." Should be fun, and I only had to renegotiate my relationship with "A" for an hour. For anyone who cares, I found a couple sites with a chronology of Tyson time lines and quotes here and here. I love when he talks. Just absolute insanity. Wonder what he'll say tonight. Wasn't Punch Out the best? I remember actually being scared when I fought him in the game, and I never beat him. I could only imagine in real life.
