TYSONIN SPARRIPARTNERIT
Mitä enemmän mennään ajassa taaksepäin, sitä rankempaa näiden jätkien "työ" oli.
Kun etsitään näitä "ei niin kuuluisia" sparripartnereita, niin rankimman työn tekivät pugilistiaikojen raskaansarjan mestareiden sparripartnerit. Yksi myöhemmän ajan hornankattiloista oli myös Tysonin sparripartnerina olo. Tyson oli erittäin häijy sparripartnereilleen ja heitä oli enemminkin salilla, kun jätkät ei kestäneet Iron Miken käsittelyssä montaa erää.
Before his first fight with Frank Bruno, in 1989, Tyson's chief sparring partner, James Broad, who was being paid $3,000 a week, reported that terrible things were happening inside Johnny Tocco's, a sweaty old gym in one of Las Vegas's less salubrious quarters. "Mike is very mean right now," said the downcast Broad. "This morning I tried to lighten things up, and said, 'Good morning, champ,' but he just stared at me for a while, and then said, 'I'm going to tear your f...... head off'."
Before his first fight with Evander Holyfield, someone had the gruesome idea of lining up Tyson's sparring partners outside the gym for a team photograph, It was a pitiful sight. One of the them had lost several teeth, and said that he was suffering from a headache. Asked for how long, he rolled his eyes and said, "About three weeks." But that was six years ago.
Six months can be a long time in boxing; six years, especially when you have been bouncing around lap-dancing joints, not to mention prison cells, can impinge on eternity. By baring almost all, and putting in some businesslike work, Lewis will certainly most effectively counter some of the more outrageously optimistic interpretations of Tyson's latest declaration that he has returned to being the baddest man on the planet.
BIG Joe Egan
Kyseinen jantteri toimi Tysonin sparripartnerina pari vuotta. Tyson ei kuulemma tyrmännyt häntä kertaakaan. Ja kovan sparrisession jälkeen sanoi Joelle että hän on "TOUGHEST WHITEMAN ON THE PLANET"
Big Joe Egan, in the age of 24 he had recorded over 80 wins, 7 irish titles and was also a Golden Gloves champion. A mean body puncher with a durable chin, this broad shouldered blonde Dubliner with film star looks fought 11 times wearing the green vest of Ireland. He's considered unfortunate not to have made the Olympics and he attracted more attention when he went the distance with Lennox Lewis and beat future WBA champion Bruce Seldon. This fight had it all and entralled those ringside like New York's 'The Raging Bull' Jake LaMotta, 'Great fight, kid, great fight.' Encouraged by Floyd Patterson to try his luck in the USA he joined Mike Tyson's training camp in the Catskill mountains with the great Cus D'amato. Joe became like a brother to Mike and, in these pages he gives a rare and fascinating insight of the early 'iron' Mike Tyson who once said of Joe after a particularly vicious sparring session he was the toughest whiteman on the planet. The two had become the firmest of friends.Big Joe Egan in the Ring. Joe eventually signed pro under Barney Eastwood's stable after a dispute with the I.A.B.A The dreams of the boxer were curelly shattered when he was forced to quit following a serious road accident on the night of his second pro fight. Changing fortunes saw Joe struggle to get his life back on track. His personal life hit the headlines after a public feud exploded from the fallout of his split from his glamourous fiancee, the irish model Lisa Murphy. She'd left him for the millionaire and 'Lord of the Dance', Michael Flatley. The downward spiral continued, with a new pub business venture pitting Joe against organised protection racketeers armed with guns, axes and Machettes. Joe was shot and later charged with attempted murder. He survived until another twist saw him jalied for his part in a luxury car ringing scam. A Man with any lesser character would have folder, but Joe's an irish man with a massive heart whose adrenaline buzz was always boxing. In May 2004 after an absence of 12 years Big Joe Egan made his ring comeback at 38 years old. The toughest whiteman on the planet was back.
