Sure, but naming the exact round in a bet (especially if you have foreknowledge) isn’t the same as ‘it probably won’t last long.’ I’d have bet...
Mike Tyson said it on a podcast. You can either believe him or not, but it came straight from the horse’s mouth.
As long as he came out to ‘Hello Darlin’ as his ring-walk music, he can call himself whatever he wants.

Gimme Cervantes by decision. Would have had some good turns of fortune back and forth, but Antonio banks enough rounds to take it … something like...

You realize how bad it makes you look that you keep hurling childish insults rather than defend or articulate your point, don’t you? I know how...
Merchant said it in commentary relating to Tyson being a challenger for the heavyweight title vs. Lewis. He was pointing out that Mike hadn’t been...
That’s just excuses and an attempt to hype him as if he was a bantamweight fighting middleweights. You’re the one who doesn’t understand how it...
