How could you watch that KO and even think this?

[mrbassie]

Poisonous gas was pumped into his hotel room the night before the fight. This is accepted knowledge.

Tony Tubbs farting through the gap under the door?

No, Trevor had the butt kicked by a superior fighter, Mike Tyson. Nothing to be ashamed about.

Trevor Birbeck take a dive against Mike Tyson?

First off his name is spelt "Berbick".
Secondly, he promised to knock Tyson out in the first round - so he employed exactly the WRONG tactics to fight Iron Mike.
Thirdly, he was never going to be able to overpower Tyson - the result was never in doubt.
