Don King, on Mike Tyson


"Why would anyone expect him to come out smarter?
He went to prison, not to Princeton."



"To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music
and the dancers hit each other."

Brain Damage Accumulates

Let's hope that Tony P. does not fight again for a few months after what was probably a serious concussion.  In the boxing world's underbelly some fighters take a beating and get another fight too soon by boxing under another name.

Lavarn "Baby Bowe" Harvell knocked out Tony Pietrantonio in Atlantic City this weekend, but it was not the outcome that had the world buzzing.

Harvell, nicknamed Baby Bowe for his resemblance to former boxer Riddick Bowe, knocked out Pietrantonio in the third round after landing a devastating right hook.

 In the photos from the fight, Pietrantonio's face appears to become distorted due to the punch.

Pietrantonio was reportedly unconscious before he hit the mat and the referee stopped the fight without a count.


 “I felt that punch all the way up my shoulder and back, so I knew he wasn’t getting up.
