Last weeks battle between Iron Mike Tyson and Evander Hollyfield was a titantic torment. If anyone could have predicted the magnitude of this magnificent marvel of pugilistic pomposity he would have become a rich man. With the smoke cleared, Evander was the commander, for the moment, but Iron Mike Tyson, the greatest champion in the history of athletic competition has a little something to say about that. So get on up here Mike! All right!
Mike Tyson : Thanks Don.. I just want to say to Evander Hollyfield, that you fought a great fight and the depth of what you hit me, was astoundingly ludicrous.
Don King : Mike, your words are elementally elegant, and elevatingly eloquent! But dont you have a challenge for mister Hollyfield.
Mike Tyson : My only challenge, is to not start crying, when I think about his huge fist banging in into my head. You know what Im sayin you know what I mean? Congratulations Evander, youre truly a supreme fighter and again I wanna thank you for beating the living daylights out of me. Thank you.
Don King : Mike missed the words: “Im like the tall grass from which the deadly cobra STRIKES!” Underneath that cowardly talk beats the heart of a tiger! Mike Tyson demands a rematch. Mike Tyson will have his revenge magnificent! Evander Hollyfield will be destroyed by the power of Mike Tyson. Only in America, Evander Hollyfield will be punished, pulverized, penalized, pureed pureed!
