Mike Tyson VS Peter Aerts

[Sanitarium]

Tyson doesnt really seem like that bad of a guy. He just let fame go to his head. If people were constantly making fun of you on the news wouldnt you go a little bit crazy?

He seems like an arsehole from what he's done/said in the past few years. a hotheaded moron.

i would love to see a mcdonald vs. tyson fight. i think that would be 1 of the best k-1 fights ever. although mcdonald couldn't go punch for punch with tyson, tyson couldn't go kick for kick with mcdonald. it would be a brawl between 2 of my favorite fighters and i know it would be aweswome.

whats with all the carter nuthugging? guys, I know hes american and you love him etc, but face it- he aint all that. tyson would kill him because carter is a dumb fighter.

I'd like to see Tyson vs Bonjasky or Ignashov. Hoost and Aerts are just too old for Tyson (despite Tyson being almost as old as them)

And I would hardly give up thai boxing if Aerts was beaten by Tyson. we are talking one of the greatest boxers who ever lived here.

Tyson (38) is older than Aerts (34).

Tyson doesn't have it anymore as you can see if you watch his last fight.

[Ikken Hisatsu]

yeah.... because pulling a ligament in your knee that required surgery afterwards is SUCH a poor excuse. he was killing williams until then. cant wait for the rematch.

and I thought Aerts was over 40. he sure looks it.

Yeah, I'm with you there. Although Carter Williams has a lot of potential he still lacks out in experience.

Personally, being an NZ'er I'd love to see a Sefo Vs. Tyson fight, especially since ray has taken his weight right back down to 100Kg and is the fittest he has been in a while.

[Ikken Hisatsu]

yeah i was just going to say Id also love to see Ray vs Tyson. two hard hitters who arent just brawlers.

edit- Im from NZ too, whangarei represent

Tyson

Tyson is great, no doubt about it. I sicka hearing about how Danny "the douchebag" Williams beat him. Like someone said, Mike had a legit injury and really couldn't continue in the fight. He wasn't even knocked out, his eyes were clear when he was sitting on the deck, he just knew something was wrong and cut his losses. As far as Mcdonald vs. Tyson goes...bring it on, Mike by KO in the second. And Carter Williams...he lost to Briggs, whose a good boxer but no Tyson. Ain't nobody in K-1 right now that can beat Mike, and truth be tols, I wouldn't want to see Mike lower himself to fight in that circus. Peace Out.

[Kyoshu]

I don't know. If he fights under boxing rules then he definitely has an advantage over all the K-1 fighters, but I don't think it'll be that easy for him under K-1 rules, especially against some of the harder hitting fighters than can actually use all their weapons.

And if the fight is under K-1 rules & goes the distance, I think low kicks and knees in the clinch will take effect on Tyson and wear him down.

Where are you training at the mo'?

[Ikken Hisatsu]

at jason houghtons gym up in whangarei on cameron street. little wee gym above the karma sutra bar, but we might be getting a bigger place soon because we have a few more people.

Can someone fill me in on the sizes and weights of both of these fighters? I am under the impression that Peter Aerts is quite a bit taller and with a distinct reach advantage. Thanks in advance

[Tom Yum]

Tyson is 5'10" and fights about 225- 230.
Peter Aerts is 6'4" and weighs about 240.

[Ikken Hisatsu]

the words "reach disadvantage" arent in tysons vocabulary.

Tyson's Reach Disadvantage

Mike Tyson has been the shorter fighter in almost all of his fights. Hence the peek-a-boo style.
