Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted February 20, 2003 Report Posted February 20, 2003 Maybe he thinks he'll knock him out before he throws a punch. That's pretty close to the truth, really. Etienne's already lost this fight, whether he wants to admit it or not. Mike's under his skin, he's stronger, he's faster, and he's going to take advantage of Etienne's suspect chin and immobility. This is going to be short.
Guest Lethargic Posted February 20, 2003 Report Posted February 20, 2003 Tyson just said that the tattoo isn't even half way done yet. haha He's gonna look like Darth Maul pretty soon.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 I'm digging the tat, personally.
Guest starvenger Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 I thought this article was pretty funny: Maori expert unimpressed by Tyson's mug Feb. 21, 2003. 09:03 AM WELLINGTON (AP) — Former world heavyweight champion boxer Mike Tyson didn't like the way his face looked before he got his new tattoo. In New Zealand, an expert on indigenous Maori facial tattoos doesn't like the way Tyson looks now. Pita Sharples, a Maori expert on his people's culture, particularly their facial tattoos known as moko, said he didn't like seeing a similar design on Tyson, a convicted rapist. The tattoo was ``definitely Maori, but stylized,'' Sharples told The Associated Press. ``I just wish it was on somebody else.'' Sharples said he was more disturbed by British rock star Robbie Williams' arm tattoo ``because there are definitely Maori characters of moko on his.'' Maori warriors' traditional full-face moko has a set format with specific designs for the forehead, cheek, lips and mouth, Sharples said. Tyson's tattoo, a swirling design around his left eye, was the centre of attention at a press conference in Mississippi on Thursday ahead of his planned weekend bout with Clifford Etienne. The American boxer said he got the tattoo last week, and there would be more to come. ``This isn't even halfway done,'' he said. ``I just wanted to put something on my face,'' Tyson added. ``I didn't like the way my face was looking.''
Guest Vern Gagne Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 I'm suprised so many of you have any interest in this fight.
Guest CED Ordonez Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 I think there's more interest in his tattoo than the actual fight, Vern
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted February 22, 2003 Report Posted February 22, 2003 I said from the beginning there wasn't going to be anything to it. Just Tyson beating Etienne's ass. I'm still watching it, though.
