Tyson gets knocked the fug out.: I thought Tyson won the first round, and Lewis' penchant for holding was on display for all to see tonight, but there's no question the better fighter won. Lennox made Mike look like pizza dough. So, what remains for both fighters? Lewis has nothing left to prove, and Tyson has nowhere to go. Is this it? Is the heavyweight division officially irrelevant?

Tyson proved he is as hard as nails and was incredibly gentlemanly and dignified in defeat. I almost feel sorry for him.

I can think of about 17.5 million reasons not to feel sorry for him.

I bet if he hadn't been on that anti-crazy medication, the fight would have been a lot different.

Superb article by Hugh Mcilvenny of The Times, well worth 5 minutes of your time. Interesting paragraph on the referees connections with Tyson, does anybody know anythimg about this? Would it be a faux pas to ask on metafilter having already raised the question here?
