    This is worth watching. I particularly enjoyed how hyped up mcneely is in his pre fight interview.

    Lost his cool worse than Ortiz against Mayweather.

    Also the 1st seconds of the fight. Has anyone started a heavyweight fight like this before :lol: Especially against Tyson.

    I thought Tyson fought very well. Your 1st fight back to shake of rust and he runs at you like that. Can't be easy.

    Tyson looked in great condition for this.

    The right uppercut he hit McNeeley with was with all the venom of a peak Tyson

    Peter was gone...

    In deed, it makes you wonder how much differance there was between pre and post jail tyson. He certainly looked good here.

    Yeah, this completely blew Michael Jordan's comeback earlier the same year completely out of the water.

    Pete fell for the hype that "if you push Mike, you beat him".

    He tried to push and rough Mike up, and got lit up like the bum he was.

    Tyson got lucky b/c he was totally enveloped in a "cocoon of horror."

    tyson was ice cool in this fight. the way he just chills in his corner after he ko'd him the 1st time and he's running round like a loony.
    And then after the headbut, tyson ignores it and just blasts him with an upercut.

    Cool as ****.

    Mcnely was a man who wanted it. The fire he shows in this interview is great. Shame he never quite made it.

    Yeah, that only works if you have an enormous amount of talent and skill, like, say Evander, on top of a good strategy.

    Not Peter McNeely. No way.

    Who the hell was Peter McNeely?

    Tyson head bob and body movement were gone, combination weren't as fast, and footwork was poor as ever. Tyson always squared up too much.

    After Ali had 4 years out of the game, he came back against the number two ranked Heavyweight, Quarry.

    After Vitali had 4 years out, he came back first fight against the WBC champ Sam Peter.

    Tyson's comeback was against Peter McNeely.

    He did weights there, he didn't do in his early days before prison.
