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."

Called the greatest fight ever by boxing experts, bellows captures firpo's one moment of glory as he knocked dempsey out of the ring in the first round after he was floored 7 times! the writers pushed the champion back into the ring in 17 seconds. you have a count of 22 if you are knocked through the ropes. dempsey knocked out argentina's wild bull of the pampas in the second round. bellows would die in january of 1925 at 42.
