    I know this fight would be a joke, but how does it go? I think Tua lets McBride hold, lean and "outbox" him before finally throwing punches late in the fight and knocking him out late, similar to the rematch with Barrett, or his fight with Maurice Wheeler a few years back.

    Tua isn't Tyson. He actually still likes to box and therefore would knock McBitch out within 6 rounds. Mike Tyson was a complete and total shell of a shell of a shell of his self.

    Tua is pretty close to being a complete shell of his former self as well, but I still think he beats McBride who is and has always been horrible.

    Tua would be bedazzled by the McBride shuffle, nailed with a blistering five-punch combo in ring-center, and knocked cold by the finishing uppercut. This is the outcome Syd Barrett told me about in a dream last night.

    Oh, man. The Classic Forum is bringing it all the way back to 2005. Back when Kevin McBride was PRIME. When time machines are invented, THIS will be the fight that the world will pay to see :nod

    Those were the days, weren't they? I remember groups of us huddled around the computer, reading the round-by-rounds on-line. It was a simpler time, a happy time. I remember my grandfather hugging me and tossing me in the air the night McBride beat Byron Polley. And then it was either absinthe or Bud Light for all, I can't remember now.

    I think Butterbean would stomp both of those powderpuff baboonis.

    Seriously, though. I think Tua would wake up and stop him late. I can't see McBride winning this, no matter how lazy Tua is.
