    Yeah remember the talk about it at time around the fight. End of the day Julius was put up to get a beating and Tyson to get another 'W' and cause hysteria over here. Julius went in gave it a go but had no chance and was swiftly dealt with.

    I was there. Waste of money from a boxing point of view but good just have been to a Tyson fight. Calzaghe fought David Starie on the undercard in one of the most boring 12 round fights I've ever seen in my life.

    It makes me so sad to see what a crude brawler Tyson had become post prison...
