Dumphy said, "prepare for a punchfest" and that's what it was.Kent---I doubt
I'll be going the the Tyson-McBride fight (I have an eight month old and my wife
would KO me if I hightailed it on a weekend to go to MCI center.)---but I did
see some photos of Tyson in training. At least for physical appearance, this is
as good as I've seen him look in as long as I can remember. I don't think he's
been this chiseled since before the prison sentence. If his head is in the
fight and he actually does more than wind up for one punch at a time---he'll
walk over McBride and if he can somehow stay focused, who knows? Certainly,
this is all speculation on my part, but he really looks better than I expected
at this point. |

will interesting to see how much Tyson has left. If things are going his way
and then is no adversity, we could see an early Tyson win. But if he gets into
trouble, will we see the bad habits come out? Like winging one punch at a time
and trying to bail himself out with one punch and also not using head
movement.I see it as if McBride gets Tyson into trouble and hurts Tyson
and Tyson still is coming in and moving his head and throwing combinations like
he is supposed to, then Tyson still has something left.But if the bad
habits that have been around for years, since the Buster Douglas fight, are
programmed into his brain, then we will never see any hint of his past greatness
as a fighter again.|

for his eight month old child, whcih we didn't know about and the other to Ricky
Hatton for his 11th round TKO of Kostya T(pronounced Zoo, I never know how to
spell it).Hatton surprised me as I though Kostya T would have too much
experience for him and I didn't think Hatton's defense was good enough for him
to get a win. Huge win for Hatton and a good fight for boxing as Hatton is a
decent fellow, humble and not a trash talker like so many around today.|

walked for Roma at night ?.com||||10|I think that Tyson can beat most of the
guys outta there, but not the very best ! He can't beat Vitali, not even in his
dreams. And if he dreams that he is whipping Vitali, he should wake up and
apologize to him. Angelo-I have never seen the Quarry-Lyle
fight. Did Jerry win comfortably or after a rough and close battle ? Was this
fight exciting ?|

the readers of this site, and especially Mr. Jimmy Dorsey and Mr. Bob Bumbera, I
offer the following responses to your comments made recently and in the distant
past. Mr. Dorsey, thank you for your research efforts concerning JQ's record.
While I have no control over the overall content of this website, Mr. Carl
Weingarten has rather magnificently handled that duty in the past. What I will
do is forward your posting regarding JQ's record to Ms. Linda Quarry, the widow
of Mr. James Quarry. She, in turn, can bring this issue to Mr. Weingarten's
attention.Regarding Mr. Bumbera's question as to why the AAIB's
Manifesto (as published on this site) calls for championship bouts to last 13,
instead of 12 rounds, I do not know the answer. However, I would suggest that
Mr. Bumbera, or anyone else who has any questions at all about anything in
boxing, call Mr. Steve Acunto, Sr. For those of you who do not know this fine
gentleman or his reputation, he is not only the primary author of the Manifesto,
but one of the most knowledgeable persons of all time concerning professional
boxing. Among his many accomplishments, he served as a member of the New York
State Athletic Commission for more than 50 years. He can be reached at
914.664.4571; furthermore, he welcomes any and all questions directed to him
concerning the Manifesto or any other boxing topic.|
