On Live now, let the circus begin!

Undercard is probably better than the fight with Jose Casamayor. Reports requested from contributors with the Pay Per View Package

That's quite a consensus..........wrong, but nonetheless, quite a consensus.

Maybe they're all punch drunk.

[Howlin]

I'm dying here!

Tyson just asked Lewis for a rematch.

Said he 'could have used' a few tuneup fights.

I have rarely laughed harder in years Hole-n-1 . Thank you for your wonder artistic input. It has took me forever to post this, because it is hard to type while laughing.

[codebreaker]

Just shows how uninspiring Lewis is, I think he needs a Tyson in better shape to fight against for more big dollars.

[Howlin]

It's all this "male bonding" on this thread! I was glad to see you jump right in with the guys. (And thanks for the questions -- I'm trying to learn hockey as I watch the Hurriances!)

[Darlin']

Talk about Laughing Out Loud. I think I hurt myself. :)

Forget boxing. The hockey game is going to TRIPLE OVERTIME!!!

[deport]

Yes, it originated at this one.....

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

LOL - why didn't you draw in Allah who is giving Tyson is strenght. Or is Don King really his allah?

I remember the FNF too. My dad and grandmother (!) would watch them together. Remember...."How are you fixed for blades (you better check..." Also sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon, I think.

Well, I checked in here WAAY too late tonight, but thought I'd add my 2 cents.

I remember those times too, but instead of Pabst (what the grown ups were drinking) I was limited to Dad's Old Fashioned Root Beer (and if I was especially favored by the elders) over some ice cream.

YOU are hilarious! Thanks for the great pics!

[TheBattman]

Offended, my butt....

Yes, I have seen a live boxing match....I still don't see how a round could be scored 10-9 when one boxer totally dominates, landing 10 times the number of punches. For that matter, I have seen a round scored where one boxer didn't land a single punch and the round was still scored that close...

So what's up with that? Sympathy?

[Darlin']

Thanks, everyone, for the round by round descriptions, the graphics and for providing such a fun thread. :)

[jrewingjr]

I can't stand that Gray guy!!

Ditto.

Jim Gray is a punk and can kiss my a**.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

WEll, it IS the religion of peace ...

Sadly. for many, it is not.

[Tall_Texan]

You must understand professional boxing scoring on the "ten must system".

Round was even: 10-10
One boxer clearly better: 10-9
Boxer knocked down the other: 10-8
Boxer knocked down the other twice and beat him to a bloody pulp: 10-7.
Anything worse than that and they stop the fight.
