@trboxing Like Prince haseem and some other Fighters I detested all the sideshow antics, but there is no denying how great he was at his peak...Tate was no tomato can and Jones toyed with him.
@shellone2010@KOJournals I agree. This was Tyson's best win. I also think he would have done this to a prime Holmes. Frazier beat Ali and gave him hell every time they fought. Tyson does the same to Holmes. He didn't even look that sharp in this fight, throwing one punch at a time.
@KOJournals The internet really has made people lose their minds feeling free to call Merqui Sosa a bum. Those comments are way off base. I mean no disrespect to Sosa, who has a hundred times more guts than I do, but that's a prime RJJ demolishing a solid pro fighter. Pretty amazing.
@ChoopyDeleapo@trboxing I thought so too at the time but it's up to the referee's discretion "2. The referee may, in his or her discretion, stop a contest or exhibition if an unauthorized person enters the ring or fenced area during a round." No NSAC official would risk ruining the golden goose.
@HVYWeightHeroes My recollection looking at https://t.co/XUFvinfXMQ the old Mongoose had more knockouts than any other professional fighter during the modern era!
@DominicVerdin66@KOJournals 100% and totally fair response. It was just tough to watch the fight when it happened and obviously see what the result is years later with his speech and the consequence of it all.
