Being Mike Tyson (Fox Channel)

Post by Emmseegee »

Anyone been watching this?
Just catching up with it just now and its a decent programme. There was some good footage of Tyson visiting Ali at home and Ali looked great. Obviously still controlled by his illness but it was good to see him in the relaxed atmosphere of his home.

Also showed Tyson speaking to some UFC fighters and doing some of his classic bobs and weaves around a bag. Still quite impressive!

That was hilarious in that episode when Holyfield phones some guy that he hasn't spoken to in years and its the wrong number. lol
Imagine someone sitting in the house watching that programme and realising it was Evander Holyfield that had phoned them by mistake all they weeks before. lol

Even now, a walking dictionary definition of manic depressive. But he seems to be holding it together these days, and it is rather touching to see that his love of the game hasn't dimmed despite his years away from it.

Must admit I found the show a bit dull, watched the first 3 episodes but turned off halfway through the 4th & have now deleted it from the sky planner.

Didn't think it gave much more of an insight into Tyson's life than has already been well documented, although to be fair I'd only just finished his autobiography when the series started so was probably on Tyson-overload!
