Elite XC sign the "White Mike Tyson"

devils-guard · 01-31-2008, 06:03 AM

You either love him or hate him but You tube Cult figure, the "White Mike Tyson" is set to appear on Cage Rage in the beggining of March.

It seems that some sections of the Black community are up in arms that a comparison has been made between the boxing style of a white man and that of Mike Tysons.

One of his videos (with 2.5 million views) was deleted because of the racial confrontation that was going on, but the same ones back and the debate has started.

I personally think he is more of a White Kimbo than WMT, but it will be good to see him fight nonetheless.

The black community are always moaning about something!!

Comparing an MMA fighter to a boxer is just silly.

Okay.......that guy was fighting nothing like Mike Tyson. The comparisons are absurd.

Im pretty sure that Ruslan Chagaev has already taken that nickname.

Who ever called this guy "white Tyson" obviously never seen a Mike Tyson fight.

Yeah, he does looks kinda like Mike Tyson. Except for the speed, power, head movement, and footwork.

LMAO

lol just cos he's fighting on Cage Rage don't mean he's signed by Elite XC to fight on their US shows. And if he fights on EXC he'll get found out soon enough

Here's the "White Mike Tyson" being taken apart by Jim Wallhead

EXC owns cage rage now right?

Tyson... I think not.

Good hands, but the Tyson of old used the jab to set up the left hooks. This guy just throws bombs and he hopes to hit you before you hit him.

Also, he looks soft. If he is fighting at 170, he needs to drop to 155.

I'm not a "member of the black community", and I'm up in arms that this dude is compared to Mike Tyson. This dude was never trained by Rooney; he has no combos. This guy only seems to swing for the fences, even hoping around while doing so...no head movement...ugh, I can go on, but I won't.

Wait, perhaps the person that gave him that nickname only knew Mike Tyson from playing his craracter in Muke Tyson's Punch Out on the original Nintendo:
