It is difficult to believe Mike Tyson has lost.Ever since he entered the boxing ring,he has been stuff of any champion's dreams.He has looked ready to kill anyone that came near him.His eyes, those thin weedy eyes, seemed to be looking for prey.When he moved, it was with a bestial viciousness.It seemed that his opponent would be finished the next moment.He was really very powerful.His appetite for winning also seemed just right for the highest level of boxing.
Born in humble circumstances, he was spotted in a street fight.The legendary promoter Don King presented him as the next best thing.In the late eighties and early nineties he was the scourge of the boxing world.Maybe,he had began to take his fame too seriously.He was accused of molesting beauty queen Desiree Washington and did time for seven years(Correct me if wrong).He came out and was given the fighting licence again.He misused his freedom by trying to take a bite off Holyfield's ear.His repeated misbehaviour was on tv.And now this loss.Its a classic case of a wild animal tamed in wilderness.His agression,speed,his venom was a boxing fan's dream.Here is hoping we will see the old Tyson again.
