But his Lispy life boy voice somehow softens their heat. In Stead of being repelled most of his listeners seem to smile at the Savage Charm of this 20-year-old Man child who has led boxing into a new Era. His Era. Tyson is much More than merely the youngest Boxer to hold a share of the heavyweight title. He s the glow of a new Dawn the heavyweight that the boxing Public has been waiting for since Muhammad Ati stumbled into the Sunset. Anybody who s waiting for another Ali will never be satisfied. Boxing will never accept somebody else As another Ali. A Larry Holmes discovered. But now Box ing has Tyson and he s More than enough As Berbick discovered. This kid Don t let you do what you want to do recreated he pressure and my Guy did t react to the pressure said All s longtime Trainer Angelo Dundee who worked Berbick s Comer. He throws combinations 1 never saw before. When have you seen a Guy throw a right hand tothe kidney come up the Middle with an uppercut then throw a left Hook. And he throws punches fast like trigger lie was throwing pineapples. He looked As Awe some As George Foreman did when he took Joe Frazier out As awesome As Foreman was then Ali mastered Himin Zaire and Foreman was never the same. Some where out there lurks Tyson s master. Bui he might be Only 12 care old now just learning How to Box and punch. Of the current heavyweights Only Michael Spinks commentary the International boxing federation Champion might be capable of staying away from Tyson Long enough to frustrate him and weary him in the late rounds. But not even spin Fig sounds Sec of that. Not Long after referee Milfs Lane stopped the Slaughter at 2 minutes 35 seconds of the second read Spinks agreed that Tyson had looked pretty and when Spinks was asked How he Felt about opposing Tyson eventually he shrugged. I m not afraid Spinks said. I m afraid of what s going to happen but pm not also at the Las vegas Hilton ringside like visiting royally presiding at a Coronation were three famous heavyweight champions Holmes who recently announced again that he had retired Ali in a Black suit and dark glasses with his new Bride Lonnie and fore Man who at 37 is contemplating a comeback. Each later spoke admiringly of Tyson s relentless assault. Foreman compared it to that of Joe Frazier whom he dethroned As Champion in Kingston Jamaica m 1973, Back when Ali Frazier or Foreman were the reign ing monarchs for More than a decade the heavyweight division prospered As never before. It had Seldom 11 Ever had three champions of thai stature almost is their round Robin reign they always had each other. Holmes in contrast had Only himself and series of stale challengers. Holmes never had an antagonist except Gerry Cooney who might even reappear eventually As an undeserving challenger for Tyson title. But first Tyson is obligated to the Home Box that Are scheduled to create what boxing has t had in nearly a decade one heavyweight Champion. Leon Spinks of All people was the last undisputed heavyweight Champion Back in 1978 be fore the division crumbled like crackers into alphabet soup. Tyson s next appearance will be in much zealot the world boxing association Champion. The entity of Tyson s opponent will develop dec. 12 at Garden when Tim Witherspoon defends the world boxing association title against Tony Winner of the March bout Wiit go against Michael sinks in May for the one and Only undisputed Tiue. Bui this schedule will Force Tyson to adjust to not having a fight for several months after two year of fighting almost every month. In building his 28-0 record with 26 knockouts Over the last 20 months. Tyson fought at least once each month except for april and october this year. Ai a Champion he will be fighting Only two or three times a year from now on. At his age one of Tyson s toughest opponent wid be his own style. As another Joe he Rotl burning out As quickly As that ferocious Champion did. Perhaps Tyson s toughest opponent will be himself. As a contender fighting so often he accepted the that his late Roen Lor Cus d i train. Or Kevin Rooney. Prescribed. But now that Tyson it Champion he will be sparring with temptation More than with sparring partners. He s never had an entourage but As he emerged from his dressing room sat urday night in a Black and red sweat suit several peo ple seemed attached to him. And More will try to attach themselves. Floyd Patterson the first famous d Amato protege and who had been the youngest heavyweight Champion until saturday night retreated to his training Camp even when he was t preparing for a fight. Maybe the d Avalo influence will persuade the new wac Champion to restrict himself that Way. Minute. After his Coronation saturday night he talked about How Cus i up there saying he made a lot of mis takes but i m still learning it s Good to hear that How great a heavyweight Mike Tyson becomes will depend on what he teams now thai he is a Champion. 15 pen athletes 2 yanks banned by Stephan Nasstrom Stockholm Sweden a the world governing body in modern Pentathlon banned 15 athletes from the 1988 summer olympics and All other International Competition monday in the biggest sports drug crackdown in recent years.
