Mike Tyson may be washed up as a world class boxer, but he still has a hard head.
When champ Lennox Lewis was shaking hands at Tao Tuesday night, he extended his meaty left paw, explaining he broke his right on Iron Mike's melon in the first round last Saturday.
As everyone knows, Lewis completely dominated Tyson, and left him bleeding and flat on his back in the eighth.
Lewis celebrated his devastating KO at Tao with 10 pals and bottles of Cristal, and sampled a congratulatory cake from the kitchen.
I can see why now.
Give Tyson his old trainers back from the days of Cus and some time to prepare and he might be a respectable fighter again.
I just wonder what is next in the heavyweight division.
Certainly, I wouldn't want to watch Lewis destroy Tyson again, so what is left? Wladimir Klitscko? Chris Byrd?
I don't see either Klitscko (whether it be Wlad or Vitaly) standing up to Lewis; and Byrd, God bless him, as skilled as he is, is to small to compete against Lewis (but I swear, he'd give him a good fight).
Oh well, Marco Antonio Barrera vs. Eric Morales is coming up. Look for Barrera to dismantle a game Morales in a solid bout (which will prove to be a much better fight than Tyson/Lewis).
