Did you ever meet his trainer, Cus D'Amato Denis?

It looks like Mike did lose his temper and that's never a good thing.

But we don't know what happened before the video. Maybe Mike tried to warn him before the fists started to fly.

Reportedly Mike took a photo with him and gave him an autograph but the guy wouldn't stop pestering Mike and what really triggered the beat down was the guy threw a water bottle at Mike.

FWIW, the guy has a lengthy rap sheet, fraud, grand theft, possession, distribution, sentenced to prison twice.

I knew Lou Duva personally. I had a crush on his daughter Denise but didn't dare show it in any way. He was one man you did not cross.

Everyone knows Mike has a glass jaw. Just go all Buster Douglas on his a..


Mike was up all night on coke before the Douglas fight.

No, I think that he died about 35 years ago.

He kept his arms up and was smirking afterwards...not his first punch in life.

It could have been a setup.
Add it up and then make your own decision.

I used to say to guys like that, “I’ll hit you so hard it will make you handsome.” :)

Indeed and he was a big man back in my home town. He was really old school Italian too! A loyal friend but a dangerous enemy.

I’m just sorry Mike didn’t knock his ass out.

Misconduct such as his should be even less tolerated than normal people who hit other people's faces, I guess.

But it doesn't make sense to argue that. Mike knows full well what he is capable of. And because of that, Mike showed commendable restraint. With one punch he could have put the guy's nose down his own throat. That flurry of punches were love taps compared to what Mike could have done.

Another bizarre incident involving Mike Tyson last month, who didn't do anything wrong and likely diffused the situation:

I had dinner with Angelo Dundee and his wife once.

They were good friends with my girlfriend's parents who lived in Miami...and later moved to Weston.

Her dad was a longtime Miami high school football coach and over the years got to know everyone!

Mr. Dundee gave me his card with his autograph on it.
