he was on abc wide world of sports from his debut until hbo showcased him.... of course they thought he would be a champion
I loved Tyson's fight against him. We didn't see the regular, come rushing out the cage Tyson. It was a patient, try to wear you down for the KO later in the fight Tyson who was prepared to go 15 rounds.
