It's kind of a like reuters on here sometimes. I'll bet that email wasn't forwarded to allegedly in a hurry.

That's funny...just to confirm, by "make-up" he's not refering to lip stick I assume?

I was unsure about that, I presume it is alluding to him having to wear something to conceal bruising.

Pit Bull Fernandez's a nutter. He's the one who ran that 'Kelson Pinto didn't sign a contract story' for the Hatton fight, which got several websites into a lot of bother when they reproduced the story.
But Fernandez didn't backtrack.
He did a bit of boxing out of Sacramento in the 80's (just clubfighter level) and thinks it makes him the toughest guy in the world. He's a little chubby guy with coke bottle glasses - but does have balls. When George Foreman was fighting a load of stiffs on his comeback in the late 80's, Fernandez slated him repeatedly and challenged him repeatedly. It got to the point where Foreman would turn round and run when he saw Fernandez coming.

Yes he missed a few press conferences, with rumours of a black eye going about....allegedly.

Ex cop as well I think? His take on the Tony Ayala saga is an eye opener - refers to him as "The Sock Rapist"

He sported the same shiner in the ring at the Savarese fight. I can categorically - but allegedly - state it was Mike Tyson who gave him one. :wink:

Poor old Frank: one email from Ricky saying, 'you're fucked after this fight', one email from Glen Johnson saying 'you're fucked if you don't give me another 100k' and one email from Pedro saying, 'did you get fucked?'

Good old Mike. Frank's gotta be mightily embarresed about this.

You could say it's one in the eye for Mr. Warren.
Then again maybe not :oops:

I've always found Mike's insights into how the boxing-promotional game is played to be...penetrating.

I was actually watching the Tyson vs Savarese PPV, I forgot that Gray interviewd Warren aswell. Whatever happend to the Scotish Daily Record case.

Warren told Gray "British lible are different to those in the States and thus I'm suing the article that made those allegations" - The look on Gray's face was funny.

Gray said "Well, it might be some other aspect in the article that you have a case for suing, so did Mike Tyson lay a finger on you".

Warren "I'm suing the paper that made these claims".

Says it all to me.

"British by-laws are different to those in the States and thus I'm suing the article that made those allegations" Where have I heard these words before? Lawyers in the states cannot believe the current UK "Freedom of Speech" laws. The case would have been laughed at by any lawyer in the states, and that is the words of a New York lawyer whom I'm in contact with.

Yes, allegedly there was a bond between Warren and Tyson that meant Tyson was to have a crack at debuting Nigerian based Australian Roger Izonritei, unfortunely this did not come off, and an enraged Tyson - who felt shafted when presented with a bill for a ring he had bought on a previous UK trip - took out his frustrations on Savarese as a way of getting one up on Warren, allegedly.

Brings a whole new meaning to the term "Iron" Mike Tyson.

I can just picture it, just like a scene out of Deliverance.

"Squeal like a pig, boy"
