in being around fighters of all races is once the bell rings there is no color,
just an opponent in front of you who is trying to hurt you.Fighters in
general are a special brotherhood who have mutual respect for other fighters
regardless of what trash talking may take place and regardless what race the
fighter is.They respect each other for putting their personal safety at
risk.I think it is the press and the fans who bring up the race issue
most of the time, not the fighters.Massimo, I didn't get a chamce to
speak to Toney or Kirk Johnson last night.Audley Harrison paced himself
against Robert Davis, giving away some rounds but exploding in the seventh round
to kayo Davis.Kirk Johnson dominated Yanqui Diaz but it was a somewhat
sloppy fight with Johnson getting penalized for low blows and the end of the
fight was due to an accidental head butt that caused a cut. Johnson won every
round for a five round tech. decision.Malcolm Tann almost didn't make it
out of the first round as he got caught with a big punch from Derek Bryant. But
Tann rallied to win a unam. dec. It was the best fight of the card, a lot of
action.Also on the undercard, heavyweight prospect Travis Walker
flattened opponent Carlton Johnson in 48 seconds. Walker caught him with a
perfect left/right combo for a knockdown at the opening bell and he finished him
with a combo for a second knockdown.It is a shame more of the card
wasn't televised.|

to speak to Toney or Johnson either (GREAT, first time in my life I use
"either", I'm almost ready to settle to Los Angeles). Thanks for trying, next
time !I read that Tyson called Mc Bride " a bum". I don't think this was
a smart behaviour. If he wins he has beaten a bum. On the other hand if he
loses... I wonder, if he is in such a terrific shape, why does he weight 104 Kg
? He is a little overweight, he should weight 100 Kg. He is in better shape than
he was against Daniele Williams, but he is not in great shape.|

discovered that Kevin Mc Bride wears a size 16 shoe, the same as Tim Duncan and
Kareem Abdul Jabbar and 10 more than Roadscholarette (who, as everyone on this
site knows, wears 6). Tyson is in trouble !|
|6/11/05 04:09:10 AM|Massimo |Chattanooga||4||||10|Correction:Tyson
weighted in at 233 lbs...He is definetely not in great shape. He is the same
height as Andre' was.|

saw Kevin McBride fighting on one of the cable channels. He is one of the
biggest bums I have seen in recent years. He is so bad that on a good Saturday
night I think I could beat him.Anyone who pays money to see that fight
has no value for money, especially when there is a free fight on HBO. Tyson will
destroy this guy. And then the promoters will prop Tyson up again and more
suckers will pay to see him fight someone else. Tyson is a joke and a
cheap hustle. It's funny, now that it's time to say goodbye, Tyson has become
polite and is saying hello to everyone. The man has no shame. Tyson is pulling
the old Floyd Patterson routine from the late 1950's, he fighting white guys who
can't fight. And we wonder why in the year 2005 boxing has less credibility than
roller derby. |

completely.|

agree, McBride is slow and easy to hit. The only way he wins is if he gets
lucky.Funny in that if Tyson destroys this guy, some people will be
impressed because McBride is a big guy, about 270 pounds. But the old saying,
