TYSON, cont. from p.15
In fact, Mike use to be a nerdy
looking kid - that’s right! He wore
glasses. His wearing glasses made him
an easy target for assaults from bullies
who terrorized him to no end. Soon they
started calling him "faggy boy" and
"sissy" as the other kids continued to
make fun of his spectacles and
unwillingness to defend himself (believe
it or not).
As Mike recalls, "I was simply
too fu afraid to fight." Later Mike
began retaliating and "...he kicked the
sh out of them." From then on he
became the provoker of fights. That was
the origin of a legendary criminal career
that included Mike being called the
"world’s greatest pickpocket" and a
police record as long as one of Wilt
Chamberlain’s arms.
Later, after becoming a
successful professional boxer, Mike was
quoted by author, former light-
heavyweight champion and friend
(maybe ex-friend) Jose’ Torres as saying
"I like to hurt women when I make love
to them. I like to hear them scream with
pain, to see them bleed. It gives me
pleasure." As Tyson’s list of female
sexual exploits became quite lengthy, he
and his friend, Rory Holloway, claimed
to have sexual relations with at least 24
women from five in the afternoon until
one in the morning. According to
Holloway, Tyson used commands like
"Come here, it’s your turn" and "Next!".
Iron Mike even back-handed his ex-wife
Robin Givens while they were dating.
Tyson claims he found her in one of his t
friends apartment; he has been heard
saying that was the best punch he’d ever
thrown in his life.
However, in absolute converse.
Iron Mike loves pigeons, and in fact he
raised quite a few in his past. Even now,
he can be seen taking a break from his
running workout to watch a group of
pigeons milling about on the ground. It
seems there is a strange paradox when it
comes to Iron Mike. He can be tranquil
and gentle on one hand and insane and
abusive on the other. Maybe it’s not that
he is psychotic but that his personality
deals only in the extremes. There is no
gray area for Mike.
As anyone can see, Mike has a
less than spotless record (at the least) in
relation to women. I am sure all the
thmgs 1 have mentioned and more will
be used against him in his upcoming
rape trial. However, the Tyson defense
lawyers will only have to use one
question to throw doubt on the young
lady’s accusations - "What was she
doing in his hotel room at 2 a.m.?". I
don’t think she was there to buy Girl
Scout cookies. That may not be fair, but
every body and their grandmother
knows that. Life isn’t always fair. As
rap group N.W.A. might say, Tyson’s
"been to the mountain top and seen
through the eyes of the real ’niggers’."
Regardless of these recent problems ol’
Michael Gerard Tyson takes a lickin’
and keeps on tickin’.

One more thing, I think a very

the defending heavyweight champion.
