OMG! Watching this press conference or judgement or whatever on ESPN NEWS. 3 out of 5 have already denied him. Man, their speeches are giving Tyson NO MERCY! He needed 3 out of 5 to say YES. 10 minute break...more to come! Can you say Atlantic City?!
I don't really understand why the 10 minute break was asked for. But I am glad he was denied. It is about time boxing did something to reclaim its lost dignity, and Tyson is CLEARLY not sane enough to step into a ring and box, let alone function as a normal person. I tell you what, though, I don't think I would like to be the person who has to tell him that he was denied. I would be shaking in my boots.
I'm shocked that two voted for him to fight... could you imagine another sport putting up with his crap?
Tyson acted like he didn't want to be there. He didn't really give good answers, seemed confrontational and annoyed, and appeared uninterested. I think if he showed some concern he could have easily swayed the undecided commissioners.
It can be held elsewhere, country or state, as long as Tyson can get a license to fight. The commissioners showed some balls today cause the Tyson Lewis fight would have been big for Las Vegas.
i still don't think the fight will happen, not for all the money in the world. If it were about the money to anyone involved, he wouldn't have been denied today. And i don't see a reason why lennox would cave and want to fight elsewhere, unless it's in his home country. I still think Tyson punked his way out of getting destroyed by lewis in the ring. i could be wrong, and i hope it happens, but i seriously doubt it.
Lennox has about 35 million reasons to give the fight to Tyson. That's alot of dinero! The fight's gonna happen, one way or another, even if it has to take place in Antarctica.
I agree. Tyson said afterwards he'd fight Lewis if he saw him on the street. One commissioner made a good point. He said it appeared like Lewis' people started the scuffle when one guy tried to push Tyson away. Tyson said he was told to go nose to nose with Lewis before he went on stage. The commissioner could forgive everything except how Tyson went crazy afterwards. If you've heard the audio, you know what I mean.
