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-

Mollo actually looked pretty good! Perfect tactics against a big slow lazy fuker like McBride. But knocked out in four by DaVarryl Williamson earlier on this year so I think realistically this guy is not going very far. Come on Mesi, step up that comeback.

Can't believe Mcbride never took the shot at the title that looked to be on offer after he beat 'Tyson'. Should have just taken the cash and got flattened by one of the Heavyweight 'champions'.

Yes, that was straight from the Juan Manuel Marquez school of management that one.

mcbride looked crap......he seemed to have a half reasonable chin v tyson but he was dire v mollo.

That big lump McBride makes Mollo look like Mike Tyson in there - brilliant finish.

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....

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.

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.

I think it was just same ole Kevin McBride.

First he was against a strong but old slow guy, this time he was in with a busy fast guy who swarmed him.

Knockout losses to Louis Monaco, Michael Murray, Axel Schulz, and now Mike Mollo et al don't lie!!
