Tyson Goes Down
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!
Spider-Mike Tyson didn't do so well last night against McBride. With his spider-sense, you'd think he would have done better.
Multiple news stories suggest that this may mark the end of Tyson's career, but an article on sportinglife.com notes that Tyson is in severe debt ($35M according to boxinginsider.com) and may not be able to retire so easily due to financial reasons. (For a great satirical piece, be sure to read TheBrushback.com's news piece titled "Identity Thief Disappointed To Get Mike Tyson's Identity."
For me, it was funny when Tyson was knocking people out after mere seconds. Is he that good, was the other guy that bad, or are the bookies just that influential? It then got much, much worse and pitiful after the Earvander Holyfield incident. And then, of course, came the recent Spider-Man claim.
It's definitely "the end" for Tyson whether he retires or not. Still, as long as thousands are willing to pay $45 to watch the fight on television, I guess we'll just wait for him to become a vegatable, if that hasn't already happened.
I've got to admit, though, that if it weren't for Tyson, we never would have gotten to play "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!"
Tyson went down faster than Igby. And no, I don't expect you to "get" that one. And no, it's not a dirty reference.
