Did Etienne take a dive against Tyson?

no. tyson just blasted his chin to bits.

 

Not sure. He was rocked and dropped, but his head looked perfectly clear to me as he took out his mouthpeice.

Ettiene is a piece of **** anyway who's going to rot in the pen for what he's done. **** him.

 

Tyson got down to 225 for this fight which was a good weight for him, against Nielson, Lewis, Williams and McBride he weighed over 233 in all those fights and just didn't carry the weight well.

 

You usually don't fall to the canvas the way he did when taking a dive. It looked like Etienne tried to land bombs on Tyson, why should he do that when he wanted to lose? Etienne was just stupid for trading with Tyson. Tyson also connected with a good hook to the chin, and as we know Etiennes chin 'isn't the best'. I understand how some people claim he took a dive because he was able to take out his mouthpiece right after hitting the canvas but not able to get up - he wasn't out. That is suspicious, but it only indicates that he didn't want to continue after tasting Tysons power, not that he took a dive. You can say he quit in a way, but he didn't take a dive.

 

Tyson caught Williams with a huge left hook. And Williams was up before the 10 count and was pissed that the ref stopped the fight.

 

Maybe it's because Etienne's chin was completely ****?? Nah that's silly to think that.

 

I've always said the same with this. Legit punch, legit knockdown, fake knockout.

No dive, don't think he wanted any more though.

 

No, I don't think so.

Ettienne was hit solid and fell quite awkwardly. Perhaps he could have risen (he didn't appear glassy-eyed) but if you ask me he simply didn't feel like getting more of the same and so decided to stay down.

It was a legitimate knockout, but he perhaps could have struggled up. Not that it would have made much difference anyway.

 

thats a legit ko by any means...right smack on the chin and look at the left foot twist...

 

Kayo was legit, but Ettiene's had no heart to fight before the opening bell IMO.

 

Yeah he is piece of xxxx i am glad he is rotting in jail for the rest of his life. But I think he was KOed it was a good shot.
:rasta

 

He totally took a dive. He did get hit with a good shot, melodramtically slumped to the floor, had his eyes nicely shut like he was sleeping and then calmly took his mouthpiece out. Total dive.
