Just wondering if any of you guys saw his fight on Saturday. I take it he wasn't overly impressive.
I must say I've never known anyone to be so widely denigrated and dismissed without anyone having seen him in the ring!

I saw clips of the fight. This guy is a monster...the guy he was fighting was a foot shorter and 106lbs lighter, and they say the big guy has no 'chin'! how the Hell would they know,lol? The little guys' trainer thru in the towel....trying to make it out in one piece!

I'd pay $1000 to see Tyson in his prime take on this guy. It would be, as Scav says, COMEDY.

Tyson would have lit this dude up. I watched the whole fight and the issue was that this guy doesn't get popped in the face, and when he does, he gets shaken. Not impressive at all, the dude fighting him tried everything though and he just didn't have enough power. Tyson would have knocked this dude out in 5 rounds probably, tall dude is slow as hell

Tyson always struggled with taller fighters (eg Bonecrusher Smith, Lewis ), so I doubt Tyson would have knocked him out.

I think most of the taller, more skilled fighters could take him, but even those guys have holes in their game (eg W.Klitschko's weak chin).

Lennox Lewis, who I don't deem to be a good boxer, would have smoked this dude
