I'm not trying to defend anyone here and I think we all know that at 58 years old, Iron Mike wasn't going to do anything impressive.  I thought he might be able to get some power punches in.  I didn't watch so I don't know.  We knew it wasn't going to be real boxing.

In sports we expect teams to let up when the game is over.  Sportsmanship.  Winning the fight in real boxing isn't enough, we want to see a knock-out.

"There was a point where he (Tyson) was not engaging back, I could just tell his age was showing a little bit.
"That violence war thing... that went away as the rounds went on.
"I tried to give the best fight I possibly could.
"When someone's just surviving in the ring, it's hard to make it exciting.
"I don't care what people have to say. It is what it is."
"I'm sorry I didn't knock him out.
"After I'd seen him tired I didn't want to put too much hurt on him, but I wanted the fans to get a good experience."
