\"\"<\/a>Mike Tyson<\/b>, once the most feared <\/span>fighter<\/b> in the world, and a<\/span> 9-1\u00a0<\/b>favorite<\/b> was<\/span> knocked out<\/b> in the<\/span> fourth round <\/b>by<\/span> British<\/b> heavyweight <\/span>Danny Williams<\/b>.<\/span><\/div>\n

Yeah, Tyson<\/b>‘s 38 years old. And yes, Williams<\/b> outweighed Tyson<\/b> by over thirty pounds<\/b>. And it’s true that Tyson<\/b> won the first three rounds<\/b> on ALL<\/b><\/span> of the judges<\/b>‘ score cards. Tyson<\/b>‘s people are already blaming the loss on a knee<\/b> twisted in the first<\/b> round.<\/p>\n

Perhaps they didn’t see the flurry of punches Williams<\/b> unleashed on Iron Mike<\/b> in the fourth round <\/b>which left him sitting on the canvas bloodied and beaten.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

I was pulling for Tyson<\/b>. I always seem to be pulling for him. \u00a0Sometimes I’m not sure why.<\/p>\n

Mike Tyson<\/strong> had it all and blew it. From what I’ve read and seen of Mike<\/b>, I doubt if I’d like to hang around with him for very long. Still he intrigues me. Tyson<\/b> has a vast knowledge of boxing <\/b>and a love for the sport<\/b> and it’s history<\/b>. He WAS the baddest man in the world<\/b> until he hooked up with Don King<\/b>. It’s like the storybook tale<\/b> of a kid <\/b>born with everything against him who overcomes it all… and then loses it<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

I guess I just keep hoping for a happy ending<\/b>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
