    Wasn't Tiger Flowers a deacon?? Think he may have been - he was certainly blessed with some god given skills

    didn’t Trevor (now there is a stable young man) berbick flirt with religion? I remember him wearing a cross on his shorts and watching him on TV preaching from the front of a church all cloaked up and in good voice during the run up to the Tyson fight but im not sure if he was officially ordained...or if the congregation were entirely convinced either...

    "Praise the LORD, who is my rock. He trains my hands for war and gives my fingers skill for battle."

    Supposedly he said this before each and every first round. **** that.

    Nice exchange between Holyfield and his cornerman between rounds after the first Tyson bite.

    "Remember Jesus!"

    "Put my mouthpiece back in."

    :lol:

    Both proper bites were in round 3, so do you mean Holy said that after round 1, which contained Tyson's "warning bite" that he would ruin the superfight?

    No, no, I meant in the break between the first bite and the second.
