verify when Mike Tyson is scheduled to fight again? How old is he now? |

the opposite of Angelo in Italian)-Mike Gerald Tyson was born on 30 June
1966. Hisactual age is a direct consequence of that. I have read that he
will probably fight on 20 July.I think this fight is a nonsense. I guess he
has economic problem. And so what ? He will have economic problems for the rest
of his life. I have no doubt about it. It's just the way his brain works. I hope
he is not planing of challenging ( or to challange) Vitali ! My chances to beat
( or of beating ) Gary Kasparov in a chess game would be better ! Probably an in
prime Tyson would have beaten Vitali, but not this version.I have
recently re-watched the Douglas-Tyson fight and I have to say that Tyson's loss
wasn'ta freak accident as many journalists ( but I hopenot my friend
Kent Appel )described it. Tyson was in good shape ( 100 Kg), very young and had
just destroyed Carl "The Lie" Williams. The problem for Mike that night was that
Buster Douglas was in great shape too ( probably in the best shape of his
career). Mike Tyson didn't fight too badly that night. I think, not many
fighters in the entire history of boxing would have beaten Douglas (on) that
night: Carnera, Spalla and not many others...For only 1 night, Buster Douglas
was in the same class with the all time greats: Spalla, Carnera, Damiani,
Ali',Joe Louis, George Foreman etc.|

times, a bit like a Joe Bugner fight. You keep putting stuff out there, with
nothing coming back, like talking to yourself. Still, I suppose it keeps the
four or five guys who come here regularly off of the street, with something to
do. Adios amigos, from Abe.|

back Abe, we need at least five of six who come here regularly.Massimo,
no I didn't think Douglas' win over Tyson was a fluke. I was in a bar the night
of the fight and I went around to the whole bar before the fight started and I
told everyone that Tyson was in for a tough fight (not that he would lose), one
of the toughest of his career, as I had seen Douglas fight several times and if
he gave his best effort, I figured Tyson would have some difficulty. Most of
the guys at the bar laughed at me about Douglas and wanted to bet me. I wish I
had bet now as the guys were not laughing at Douglas and me after the fight! |

Douglas fight ? Did Douglas fight a good fight or not ?I think Tony
Tucker in his prime was a very goodheavyweight. Instead when he fought
Herbie Hidehe was already ready for the pension !|
|6/26/04 12:12:09 PM|angelo|dc||funktron@yahoo.com||||10|Massimo:I agree
with you, it was no fluke the night Buster beat Mike. Douglas fought a nearly
perfect tactical fight (save for one lapse where Tyson caught him good).
Douglas was bigger, used his jab to perfection, boxed brilliantly and Tyson was
NOT out of shape at all. That night, Douglas was the better man by a mile. If
Douglas could only have had the same intensity for all his training and each
fight, that he had for Tyson, he'd have been an all-time great. |

Galento? Man I did not realize how mean and feared he was, in and out of the
ring!Really have some good reading about him on the web.Joe Louis said he was
they only fighter he truly hated, and Max Baer stated it was they only one he
ever meant to KILL!Interesting character to say the least. Bill Kelly who wrote
for "KELLY'S KORNER" and BOXING ILLUSTRATED AND had a few problems with JQ. Did
the story. Speaking of Jerry I'd forgotten when Ken Norton cut one of Jerry's
eyes,it severed an artery and hemorrged,Which not only blinded Quarry,was very
painful, Instead of sitting on his stool between rounds. He came back out
