Boxing: Free at last!<\/p>\n
The type of fight covered in the report Boxer extremely
\ncritical after brain operation, The Jakarta Post, Feb. 27, 1995,
\nis exactly the type of competition boxing fans want to see.<\/p>\n
Tragic though it was to see the WBC super-middleweight
\ncontender hospitalized, in boxing that's always a possibility. To
\ncall it \"vicious\" is to miss the point entirely. It sounds as if
\nthe fight was a hard fought, genuine competition enjoined by two
\nvery tough athletes. The middleweight divisions often produce
\ngreat fighters but the greatest fighter of the post war years is
\nabout to breath new life into the moribund heavyweight division.<\/p>\n
On gaining his freedom later this month 'Iron' Mike Tyson,
\npopularly known as 'The People's Champion,' will walk from the
\nplace of his incarceration with the words \"Free at last! Free at
\nlast!\" on his lips. When that happens the geriatrics and great
\npretenders who now characterize the top ten contenders in the
\nheavy weights will be quaking in their boots. And quite rightly
\ntoo. He's not called 'Iron' Mike for nothing and by all accounts
\nto take one of his punches is like being hit with a sledge
\nhammer.<\/p>\n
As Mr Tyson is now a Moslem I would like to wish him Selamat
\nIdul Fitri and good luck in the future with his professional
\ncareer which I hope he pursues with some vigor.<\/p>\n
