WASHINGTON (AP) - Mike Tyson's career may have ended in shocking fashion Saturday night when he quit on the stool after taking a beating in a foul-filled sixth round against unheralded Kevin McBride.

Tyson lost for the third time in his last four fights, and once again he faded badly as the rounds went on before head butting McBride in a desperate attempt to end the fight in the sixth round.

Tyson was pushed to the canvas when the round ended, his head stuck between the first and second ropes. He got up very slowly, wobbled back to his corner and sat on his stool.

When referee Joe Cortez came by to look at him, his corner told Cortez the fighter could not continue. Cortez then went over and raised McBride's hand in victory.

The 38-year-old Tyson was a huge favourite over McBride and won the early rounds. But as the fight went on, it was McBride landing the bigger punches as Tyson desperately tried to score a knockout.



Tyson was weary by the fifth round and, in the sixth round, he was penalized two points for deliberately head butting McBride and opening a cut over his left eye. The head butt came after Tyson appeared to try to break McBride's arm in a clinch like he once did against Francois Botha and after he hit him with several low blows.

In a career filled with tremendous highs and terrible lows, Tyson may have reached a new low in the loss to McBride, who came into the fight with no credentials.

Anyone see the fight? Wish I could have...

didn't see it. it'll be on TSN in a few days, i'll catch it then. at least he gave fans their money's worth by lasting at least 6 rounds.

Pwned.....he is really terrible now I bet Glass Joe could beat him.

He's an embarassment

LMAO, that's a great sutble comment Nyck

he could still turn you into a bloody mess on the floor. However he is getting pathetic. He should just quit and work on not getting in trouble with the law.

after his manager died he went downhill.

So the mick knocked his fuck in, gg happy:

dirty fighter...douche

kind of sad to see him go out like that. he should have retired a long time ago and stayed out of trouble. even though hes finished, no one can deny that he was the last person anyone would want to face in the ring. he is the most ferocious and terrifying fighter ive seen and that deserves some respect. he was the mutha fuckin man back in the day.

Tysons career started down hill a long time ago. The first time he got knocked on his ass by Buster Douglas it was pretty much over. It became apparent he could be had. After that nobody was afraid of him anymore.

The rest of his fights were mostly fought in desperation. Ear biting, low blows, trying to break the guys arm in a clinch, head butting. All signs of a desperate fighter trying to survive a round. Hes suposed to be a professional. In reality hes a hack and always has been.

His next fight will be in a bar someplace where they pay the customers 50.00 if they can last 3 rounds with the great mike tyson. Probably get his lame ass kicked there too.

took the words right out of my mouth...

45-2 from 1985 to 1996. 39 of those wins were knock outs. He was hardly a hack.

I didn't see the fight, but from what I've read about it, it was supposed to be a bit of a stinker. Tyson should get a career in WWE or something like that.

He already helped out stone cold by knocking out sean michaels...lol happy:

yeah, that was a disgrace....about knocking out shawn michaels. but yeah, tyson in the wwe, he'd get the shit knocked outta him fast. i'd like to see him stand up to somebody thats 7/3 and 400 pounds. he'd need a damn ladder to stand on to reach for a punch.

Tyson in the wwe looked so out of place it was retarded oOo: . Him with dx doing the crotch chop..*shudder*

yeah it was wierd watching him do the dx thing.

when buster " lardass" douglas knocked him out that was the end of mike tyson. its a shame that someone as tough as tyson would let don king swindle all his money away annoy:

Mike Tyson Vs Don King rock:

Don king did screw him out of money im sure. But mike knew how to spend it too. Every time you saw him he had like 30 people with him. It sure as hell wasnt because of his glowing personality. He threw that money around all the time. Didnt he buy a damn tiger at one point?

A fool and his money are soon parted. Theres no bigger fool then mike tyson.

2 years from now he could be asking you if you want fries with that order!!

You dont hear evander holyfield cryin about being broke. hes a smart man. keeps a low profile and saves his money.

Probably Iron Mike oOo:

yeah i saw the fight on PPV...its a good thing tyson stopped there...it was starting to get a little dirty...i feel sorry for the guy...he owes like $something mil or so

file bankruptcy

he already has

cant believe theres much hype about tyson sleeping:

Boxing has changed. That is Tysons problem. He is way to aggressive, trying to go for the knockout blows, while boxing has changed to a much different game then when he started. Heavyweight boxing is starting to reflect lightweight boxing a lot more. Its not his game anymore. happy:

I respect the guy way too much to even contemplate that annoy:....but if it were to happen,
a good name would be...oh, say Girly-Voice Ridiculous-Facial Tattoo-Rapist Guy..?..

I have been keeping up with local boxing around my area, Bryan Mackie/Macky = our hometown guy. He was once the Canadian Lightweight or featherwieght champ I beleive, he went to the olympics for us years back, he has been making a comeback to the ring and is doing quite well. He stayed Amateur for YEARS before he went full on pro. I think he mya have fought for the world/US leightweight, but only lasted 7 rounds or so.
