Has anyone seen a line for the Tyson fight? I know that alot of books might not put one out, since it will be so high, and after the Williams fight last year. I just think that Mike takes him out here. He is still good for a few rounds, and from the few fights ive seen Mcbride in, The guy is slow as hell, and I dont think he will be able to recover from the big shots like Williams did. That guy can take many shots, as he showed against Vitali. Not many guys can do that
I've seen 20/1 ON with most European books, Kevin McBride to win at a piffling 7/1 and the draw priced at 33/1.
McBride has no tentative ambition like a Danny Williams and will surely just turn up to collect his money and do his job (which is to take a hit, stay down and make Mike Tyson look good).

I live in the Boston area, and last week they had a big 2 page layout on McBride in the Herald. They talked about how hard he is working, showed his daily regimine, blah, blah, blah. They guy is a stiff, and a soft one at that. Last year I cashed in big on Williams, but I never thought Tyson would look as good as he did, and that Williams would be able to survive shots like that. He was on queer street more than a few times in those 3 rounds. I highly doubt is was Tysons knee that caused him to lose, but It was def his stamina. If he serves out a beat down like that, no way in hell McBride will be able to survive. If Mike cant beat this guy, then he is def done

I couldn't disagree more
Tyson beat the sh*t out of Williams the entire first round and almost had him out a few times. After the injury Tyson couldn't get any leverage on his punches which is why Williams was able to take his punches from the 2nd round on. It wasn't untill after the injury that Williams became effective.
Tyson had surgury to repair torn ligaments in his knee. The doctor (who was obviously a specialist in that area) said that after seeing the damage to the knee, he couldn't believe Tyson actually fought on it for 3 rounds. He said whaen that type of injury occurs, the leg locks up and most poeple wouldn't have been able walk let alone fight.
There's no dought in my mind that Tyson would have knocked out Williams had he not suffered the serious injury. Props to Mike for continuing to fight that night, took some serious stones.
Trust me, I am the biggest Tyson fan there is, I grew up in upstate NY, watched him as a kid before he hit it big, back in 85 and 86. For 1 or 2 rounds, he is just as good as and heavyweight out there today. But he runs out of gas. I know he hurt his knee, but Williams Took Mikes best shots and stood up. Look what Vitali had to do to Williams to take him out. Hit him with everything but the kitchen sink. As much as I love Tyson, I dont think he would have been able to dish out a beating like that for 8 rounds what way Klitschko did. Your kidding yourself if you think Tyson could still do that. The guy is 39 and has a really bad back. McBride shouldnt be able to take the beating Tyson will most likely lay out in the first 2 rounds, if it even goes that far. A HW like Vitali, Toney, Brewster, and others who ca take a shot, would be able to outlast Mike like Williams did. McBride has a very slim chance of surviving the onslaught coming his way.
Box, I felt the same way you did, being a huge Tyson fan and all, but if you wach that fight again, you will see that after halfway through the second Tyson was out of gas, and wasnt dominating the way the announcers were saying

Yup, when was the last time you saw Tyson fight more than 3 rounds without looking gassed???? Seriously...... Even in his prime, 1986-1989, he would slow down considerable after the 5th or so. His style is most effective when he is fresh. He can still pounce on anybody out there today, but if they are still standing, and he is a bit tired, he cant bob and weave as effectivly and thus his opponents are able to then mount a decent offense. (Since he got out of prision at least) . There is a chance that Tyson would have knocked him out has he not have been injured, but Danny Williams can take a punch, which is about all he can do, and Mike was throwing big shots and running out of steam. Tyson only knows how to punch one way. He has never paced himself well, and why would he start now? Anyways I love the guy and he will knock McBrides block off barring any injury.
Box, I prob wont be posting here much at all anymore, since I will be on a new site, so even though we disagree on everything, best of luck to you.

Alright I misunderstood this. I thought Tyson was the dog for some reason
You dont think this Mcbride guy can do mike in? He is a lot younger and he has been training pretty hard, he has much more to gain than mike with a win. it could land him some big deals down the road. he also said he's "fighting for all of ireland." kind of like rocky 3 or something

This guy has little to no shot. Danny Williams is twice the fighter this guy is, and Williams was getting rocked by Tyson. McBride is very big, but also very slow and very clumsy. He has been KO's 3 times already in his career to guys who either have losing records or are C level at best. Mike has been KO'd 4 times, but 3 times were against top guys. Only was to really beat Mike is to keep him on the outside and avoid the big shots and wear him down, or be way inside and smother his offense, like Holyfield did. I think McBride will come out trying to jab, but once he gets his with one flush shot, I think he will either go down, or be really hurt and then Tyson can finish him off. If you can find under 3.5 rounds, this is the best play
