In an outcome I was hoping for all along Mike Tyson lost his match to the Irish boxer Kevin McBride. Don't mess with the Irsih :cool:


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Little known Irishman Kevin McBride scored a stunning sixth-round technical knockout of former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in a non-title bout on Saturday.
Tyson's corner requested referee Joe Cortez stop the bout after before the seventh round with Tyson slumped on his stool.

The 32-year-old McBride, who has now won his last eight fights, improved his record to 33-4-1 with 28 knockouts.

Tyson saw his record fall to 50-6 with 44 knockouts after losing three of his last four contests.

However, the 38-year-old earned $5 million for the fight while McBride collected $150,000.

The 6ft 6ins, 271-pound McBride was seven inches taller and 38 pounds heavier than his opponent.

"This win was for the pride of Ireland," McBride said

tyson fighting is no longer about the wins, its about the money he's making...hes in debt by what, 35 million? he needs to get that money, so he's fighting.

Ya, I read somewhere before the bout that he was fighting again to pay off the money but tonight he claims he is done and going to retire. Don't know where he plans to get the rest of the money.
