RedEye Comics presents the adventures of Mike Tyson, a tragic anti-hero whose spectacular ascent to the heights of the sport was brought to a humiliating and ignominous end this weekend. Tyson’s very words before and after the fight tell the story of his downfall. When battered by a lowly journeyman named Kevin McBride, the great pugilist finally muttered . . .
APRIL 12
“I don’t get into the staredowns and the talking trash. I’m older, so I’m not really

JUNE 8
“Just go sit down!
I’ll gut him like a fish. Now, go sit down.”
JUNE 11
“I’m a legitimate contender …
NOT A PRETENDER!”
JUNE 11
“I don’t have the guts to do this anymore. I most likely won’t fight anymore. I’m not going to disgrace the sport by losing to this caliber of a fighter.”
“I’m a cold and a cruel and a hard person. I’ve been around the worst. You can’t take away what’s happened to me. I’ve been abused any way anyone can be abused. …
I’ve lost my sensitivity.”
“My career has been over since 1990. When I look at my fans, they don’t love me. They love what I do.”
JUNE 11
“I don’t have that ferocity.
I’m not an animal anymore.”
“You’re smart too late and old too soon.”
END?
