Tyson Throws in the Towel - Maybe for Good

(WASHINGTON - AP) -- Mike Tyson's career may have ended in a shocker Saturday night when he quit on the stool after taking a beating in a foul-filled sixth round against unheralded Kevin McBride.

Tyson lost for the third time in his last four fights, and once again he faded badly as the rounds went on before head butting McBride in a desperate attempt to end the fight in the sixth round.

Tyson was pushed to the canvas when the round ended, his head stuck between the first and second ropes. He got up very slowly, wobbled back to his corner and sat on his stool.

When referee Joe Cortez came by to look at him, his corner told Cortez the fighter could not continue. Cortez then went over and raised McBride's hand in victory.

The 38-year-old Tyson was a huge favorite over McBride and won the early rounds. But as the fight went on, it was McBride landing the bigger punches as Tyson desperately tried to score a knockout." More...

Tonight's humiliating loss may truly be the end of Mike Tyson's fighting career. Failing to answer the bell against a tall flabby white dude which looked like another set up fight to give him new life on the circuit, backfired with a stunning loss. Will we see Tyson on the talk show circuit downplaying this loss? Or can we expect merely more bizzare behavior in the ring in response to this upset?
