Too bad he's a moron and still has to fight because he owes so much frigging money.

That was predictable. I knew he would lose, probably badly. It's ridicoulous that he owes so much money and he still has to fight more...

I wasn't sure if he would lose. I heard about it but I didn't know he owed a lot of money . I'm not too much into the boxing world but I get into it every now and then. That sucks though, heh.

Yeah, basically, if you survive a few rounds in the ring with him, your odds of winning go up substantially.

From what I hear, once Williams stopped being scared, he basically dominated the fight. Apparently Tyson just wasn't hungry enough, as he COULD'VE gotten up and just didn't want to.

Well this is certainly a great career step for Danny Williams.

Mike Tyson is such a joke now. (I wouldn't say that to his face though.) I mean, he's still an awesome fighter, but when you compare him to the Tyson of old...

His career went to hell after he lost his first manager and went the way of Don King. King basically started Tyson down his path of psycho-ness. I can't remember the name of his original trainer/manager, but he did everything right for Tyson and made him into what he was back in the 80's/early 90's.

In Tyson's defense, he DID tear a knee ligament in the first round of the fight.

Thankfully he can use that as an excuse, because if he was healthy save for the KO...

wow. tyson used to seen as an unstoppable titan, now he is simply washed up. though he still nedds the money.what can he do? quite while he is ahead and keep some dignity..and go to jail AGAIN this time for money problems.or ruin his career and keep the money monkey off his back...hard choice ....most people would say the career is most important however with a $38 million bill you may be persuaded to change your mind huh?

He's not going to jail for the money problems.

They just have to rethink their strategy... Apparently Williams wants a rematch to finish Tyson off.

He could also be fighting for the K-1 promotion based out of Japan.

That would be funny. These 29 year old men in the prime shape of their lives, taking on Tyson.

That would make for good television.

Yeah but it's likely Tyson would only box in K-1. No kickboxing or mixed martial arts, sadly.

There's a few people he could take but I'd personally love to see Tyson vs. Bob Sapp myself.

hahah omg.

That's what I was thinking...oh man. x''D

It would be the funniest fight ever. Tyson would swing at him, and it would bounce off, and then he'd just get powerbombed through the ring.

Actually, Tyson would probably have the advantage in a boxing match. He's quicker than Sapp in any event.

But after this weekend... I'd wonder.

To what extent does that matter?

Sapp would just absorb him, and then when no one was looking, eat him.
