Tyson on a downward spiral but Jesus he was an animal in his prime.

[nrico2006]

Remember reading about his training in Tokyo, he said he only worked out on local geisha (whenever the wife was out shopping) and did no real training.  Even remember seeing the footage of him dropped in sparring not long before the fight too.  He was still unlucky in that fight in that Douglas got some amount of time to get up after his knockdown in the round before the fight ended.

Congrats to Fearghus Quinn from Belleeks Co Armagh. I know his sister very well, certainly has dedicated every part of his life to boxing and now has the fantastic opportunity of fighting under MTK along side the fury, Frampton, conlons of the boxing world

Didn't Don King go on a mad rant after declaring Tyson the real winner over the knockdown?

Think there was an official appeal lodged that delayed (by 2/3 days) Douglas being immediately declared the official recognised champion.

King tried to have decision overturned. Douglas was knocked down in the 8th round and the KO was in the 10th. Tyson's live was a mess by that stage. D'Amato and Jim Jacobs were dead, and King did his thing where he infected anything he touched and got Tyson to push out Bill Cayton as manager and Kevin Rooney as trainer. His corner for the fight didn't have an endswell ffs.

Is that the lad that fought Donnelly in the Irish finals a year or two ago and was robbed?

The very one.

He can look forward to getting paid with lots of MTK drug money now like the rest of them.

He looked good but dont know if he will be a heavy enough puncher at the higher level - fingers crossed another local boxer can go far.

Will have the opportunity to get on some good cards with them anyway if he gets a few wins

Fury a big 273

Wilder a very big 231

Anyone see Tyrone McKenna's fight last night? An absolute robbery of a decision for the French fella he was fighting. I was glancing at in play betting throughout and at the end the Frenchman was 1/200 to win then they suspended it completely they assumed it was that much of a given.

Though I suppose it's easier to market McKenna v O'Hara Davies in the final than some French fella who can't speak English.

Yeah it was a robbery. I thought when they read the scorecards out the scores were fair enough in favour of the Frenchman and couldn't believe they said Tyrone McKennas name. The reaction of the ref said it all. Even Tyrone couldn't believe it either. It was a good fight too.

Wilder all over the place here!

Impressive start from Fury.
