Winter of 08
Man ain't it a pity
Pity what she said
Now it is getting cold outside
Snow is falling grey
Yeah it's is getting cold outside
Pity what she said
Cause she through yeaaah aahhh
She's through with you
Slow hand in the city
Winter blows away
No I ain't been lucky
No luck since the day
I am feeling older now
And I still count the days
Time is getting stiffer
No luck since the day
Cause she's through ahh yeah that's right
She's through with you
Winter of 08
It is getting grey
So cold outside
As i'm locked away
Pity what she said
Feeling like i'm dead
It's a gunshot to the head
Man pity what she said
Not living it's a pity
You gotta have some fun
I learned that for real
When she said she was done
Ahh yeah she's through with you
Slow hand in the city
Winter of 08
Snow still falling hard outside
While I am locked away
One more month of winter
Cold it's snowing grey
Slow hand in the city
And it's a pity what she said
She's through
Ahh yeah that's right
She's through with you

Watches fight for the 4th time.
That's not what happened in that fight.
Tyson was pressing in the 1st round, got stunned by an uppercut, but stayed aggressive with Tucker holding onto Tyson, anytime he got hit.
The second round led to Tyson working the body and then going to the head. He was getting the better of Tucker, but kept himself in check from leaving his chin open.
About round 6 is when Tyson got on his bicycle and started working the jab to great affect. Tucker had landed a abysmal 22% of his jabs by the 4th round and by the 8th Tyson had landed 76% of his.
Tyson was straight up working his jab and wearing Tucker down. Tyson stayed patient and hunkered down for the long haul. He's not one dimensional like Deontay Wilder.

Mike literally had full body weight going into every punch, quick, and endless energy! Literally an amazing athlete!
@AssPhyxiation
To have full body weight going into every punch he’d have to fall on them from above.
@SamLoki
Lmao no, it's more like 1200 lbs of force in his punch

Watching a Tyson fight back then was bigger than the Super Bowl to me. Everyone watched Tyson fight, even people that didn't even watch boxing watched. With Tyson fighting you didn't have to even think about was it going to be worth paying for the fight. Tyson always put on a masterpiece.

So true. Back then the lighter division champs all came into the ring with glorious regalia and robes. Mike stood in black boots with no socks. He was an animal in the ring.
