I'd imagine poor Ms. Steele could use some good therapy. Which brings me to Tyson and the media swirl he generates which I am sure only feeds his mania and tendency to dillusions of grandeur. Whatever he once had of a mind seems to have withered away to nothing more than a mere cloth flapping in the wind of the media flurry around him. A tragic case indeed, but not one which brings me to any special sorrow, save for his victims.

Im not sayin you should tangle with someone who has 80lbs on you but still. Also men boxing women their own weight=totally doable, I mean kickboxing matches are mixed, girls win state at wrestling(which is much more about brute strength). In priniciple Id have no problem with tyson fighting a woman......if wasn't a freaking psycho. Anne wolfe is kick ass. Im not sayin you should tangle with someone who has 80lbs on you but still.
