    This is the type of fight where it would probably help if Tyson had Kevin Rooney in his corner

    Any fighter like Oscar ,who could be reckless and willing to trade ,would get hit hard and fast by Tyson. Oscar would be stunned early ,he'd try and hit back but Tyson's chin Early was solid .Ringo finds himself on the deck within 2 rounds. He'd keep getting up ,he was a tough old bird ,but Tyson's going nowhere. By round 3 Oscars down at least 4 times ,one more KD and the refs seen enough.

    Agreed , a bad match up for Oscar who was not a 6'4" 240 pound giant hanging on to Tyson of dear life like a Bonecrusher Smith but a 6' , 208 pound tough guy that speedy punchers like a Jimmy Ellis were able to rock.

    Oscar was 5'10.5" and Ellis had him down twice. Tyson keeps him there.

    Tyson by split decision win in 15 or 12, with Oscar giving him hell all the way, and Tyson not wanting to fight him again.

    Bonavena has a snowball's, no, a snowflake's chance in hell of winning.

    Bonavena scores a personal victory if he makes it to the 4th round.

    Tyson the whole way.

    Whoever sets this up is a sadist and an enemy of Oscar.

    I think Oscar would be tougher, more resourceful and more troublesome and determined than advertised...and don't get Ringo confused with the White Buffalo and the foul Pole.
