nice videos. mike tyson is a puzzle. he is a very a very interesting character, i think he is awesome.
Tyson was very gracious in defeat. Get the interviews after the second fight for an interesting contrast!
Mike was so gracious by making people believe that he didn't remember anything after round 3 ( I momentarily thought he didn't remember anything after round 3 in the second fight cause there was nothing to remember about) but I find that amusing - he remembers about appropriate cornermen advice but he has no recollection of what it was about, he remembers that he was not knockdown legitimately because the shot landed in his chest but he was sliding back to the corner - listen, Mike Tyson is a weirdo and in case that was in fact true - that he had a blackout, absence ( or cowardice to admit he was beaten) - then he should not have been given a rematch cause he could have had psychiatric desorders and insane behaviour which simply came to happen later... I also felt odd and old to see Steve Albert's sort of 80s hairstyle, kinda Rick Ocasek style - that was a long time ago and believe me, Mike still has my ear about the headbutt allegations ( run into Holyfield's head in the 7th and complained like a lil girl) and then would do the insane thing in 97 to get out of that situation... Regardless of having shaken Holyfield's hand, he showed no respect because he didn't admit he was beaten and even insinuated that Holyfield wouldn't give him a rematch. Consider if Hatton would have done the same, that he had an absence and that he would think that he has knocked out Mayweather... Consider how outrageous that would be.
Well... he could tell he wasnt knocked down because he was seeing it on the screen. and hes right... he was knocked off balance, he wasnt hurt. There are other fighters who dont remember their fights eather... so i believe mike.
Kirk, if he had that absence or blackout in his memory, how come he went to show respect to Holy in the post-fight presser - you have to have an idea or sense that you were beaten to show respect to someone else... And the live Broadcast from NYC and Mike in Ohio was absolutely pointless - Mike just sayin he didn't remember anything but he remembered about Holy's words of not fighting a convicted ****** before the fight... And the knockdown, man, it doesn't matter where it lands or if it does hurt you - he went down by a punch and that's a knockdown... Actually he should have been stopped by the end of the 10th and there were no knockdowns then. To end this, I feel that Mike's orchestration was all to make Holy's win worthless but it wasn't - Holyfield was supposed to be in life's danger for that one and Mike is the one who came out to be with an absence of mind due to a clash of heads...
