Looks like McBride really was as bad as all his kayo losses suggested.
And Mollo is just your atypical white club fighter of limited power/skill.
McBride/Tyson has to go down as one of the most humiliating/pathetic performances for any ex-heavyweight champ in history.
But you be the judge, in case you havent seen it-

Agree, although Tyson did hurt McBride with single shots on a few occasions..... just he allowed McBride to ride the storm (hold and push back when his head cleared) - plus he hardly threw combinations after the 2nd round.overhand_right wrote:Proof that the old boxing cliche "you dont lose your punch" is complete bollocks.
Although i thought Foreman proved that in the Savarese/Grimsley/Briggs trilogy....
Physically McBride was in alot better shape vs Tyson than he was here. He was half a stone heavier, but it was half a stone of flab (plus he was coming down from an even bigger weight).
Agree with your first post about it being one of the most embarresing displays by any ex champ. As a PPV punter I bought the hype, and I still feel cheated by Jeff Fenech (a guy whose ring achievements warrant the utmost recpect) who was claiming he was back and looked the bees knees in training. However, McBride WAS a lot better for the Tyson fight than he was last time out.
