All things considered, probably my favourite fight of all time. Two greats putting It all on the line. Leonard with that classic white and red robe with 'Deliverance' on the back. Hearns with his swagger and the look and smirk he gives in the introductions...As if to say, we're daring to be great tonight. Sends a chill down my spine.
I like how focused Lewis walks to the ring. Most fighters are jumping around looking frantic, the moment he crossed the door strip of dressing room to corridor, it was time to be serious and not just look serious, but be serious in the ring. This was Mike Tyson he was fighting, not a teddy bear and after all the build up to the fight, Lewis was ready to back up the talk. Crazy Baldheads was also a good choice of song as it had a point, but set the tempo in the arena. But I guess some of you like to be jerking of to some prodigy and some nutter fighter going mental as he walks to the ring.
Felt sorry for foreman when he knocked on wlads Door before haye and was told to go outside and wait so He improvised with throwing a few shots at the camera
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh improvisation :rofl George should of took a Foreman grill and cooked up some steak whilst waiting for the ****.
Lewis's walk to the ring for the rematch with Rahman was quality. I quite liked Rahman, some of the stuff he said was quite funny, thanking Lewis for his new car and enormous payday.... but he was ****ing hammered in that rematch. Fair play to him for actually getting back in there with Lewis, he could have just 'retired' because of the lawsuit, taken some time off and then come back, fought the shell of Tyson, then a few bums (subject to beating Tyson) before eventually losing to Vitali Klitschko.
God remember hayes failed ring work against wlad? He was supposed to roll up in a taxi and lennox was gonna open the door for him to get in. Haye didnt get in cause he was having a hissy fit in the back and lennox was just left standing there like a bellend. Farcical. My favourit for conedy reasons is the now notorious "uzzy" ringwalk against sexton. Comical.
I like the fact Barrett tries style the fall out by throwing out right hand like it's all casual.. I like Lennox ring walks, I'm a reggae fan and his laid back entrances are class. Actually Sam Peter Natural Mystic vs Vitali was very impressive. With regards to Tyson, I don't think he did it but that's just a feeling but Atlas is known for not liking Mike. Mike was aggressive around women even at a young age and touched Atlas female family member and put a gun to Tyson's head. Mike looks at women differently to others. I hope and like to think he's changed.. I agree Mike's downfall was partly down to people he knocked around with but also his decisions to hang with them. Plus losing Cus sent him off the rails completely and people prayed on that. He's a mentally fragile guy who was taken advantage. As it says in Corinthians "Bad company corrupts good character."
I love entrance when the home crowd know it a 50/50 fight or there man is underdog and the crowd just go mental when there fighter as walking to the ring and Boo and hiss at the away fighter giving him pelters thats when i get feeling its a big occasion but nothing beats the ultimate warrior running as fast as he can to the ring
