Anybody see it? What did you think? Lewis: Jab, Jab Tyson: Oh, maybe I should move out of the way now. Repeat.

I call it the Tyson Needs Money Fight. He was hoping to get a lucky knockout in the first two rounds and when that didn't happen I guess no one told him to take a dive instead of being Lewis's punching bag. I thought it was funny after the fight when he begged for a rematch and thanked Lewis for the big payday. This was funny stuff.

He doesn't have to beg for a rematch. No matter the outcome, a rematch was already in their contract.

Might be in the contract but we'll see if it comes off ... I pity anyone who'd pay to watch another debacle like that.

Which will be a good thing if it happens because 2 Tyson-beatings will be better than 1.

I thought it was refreshing though that they both acted like civilized human beings. The press was a little mean to cap on Tyson's speech. "I have take my hand off to him..." First of all, everyone knows that Tyson is stupid - give him a break. And second, it's a little understandable when you've been beaten to a pulp (besides being stupid). I think he probably would've gotten the right word under pre-fight, calmer conditions.

He doesn't usually act all the "calm" under pre-fight conditions. I think the beating probably had a lot to do with his calm, friendly demeanor.

He was supposed to go off the meds for a few days before the fight, eh?

We go on and on about the NBA being fixed. Boxing is obviously the most corrupt 'real' sport but yet we jabber on about why Tyson did this or that. I think Tyson is really a saint but he is been jailed and made to look crazy all for the sake of a big tv turnout.

Do you consider Jai Alai a "real" sport? It is more corrupt than boxing, if that could be believed...

I don't think we've crossed the jabber barrier on this subject. Bandersnatching, possibly.
