The story goes mike was chasing a young girl, and Teddy put a gun to his head.!

Think it was Teddys neice,cant blame the guy really,i would have shot the bastard.

Niece or young girl?
Which one was it?
Its bad either way but can we confirm.

Yes I think it was, also I think Cus fell out with Teddy over it I think she was 14 or 15 , Tyson the
beast.

the only prob I have is Teddy raving about it every chance he got. He told evey and anyone that would listen that he put a gun to Tysons head... a "man" putting a gun to a 15 yr old boy... seems to me that Cus did the right think and kicked his ass into obscurity. Tyson apologized...but NO DOUBT, Atlas needs to apologize as well. just my humble opinion.

Both, as niece and young.

My thoughts are:
I'm glad Teddy didn't pull the trigger.
I think Tyson's apology was sincere.
Teddy believed the apology was sincere and accepted it.
I hope Tyson can stay clean and sober, for good, one day soon. It's a tough row to hoe, I hear.

That was really something to see. Teddy sounded genuinely shocked and shook up.

Tyson was 15 and he grabbed Teddys wife's 14 year old nieces ass.

Teddy put a pistol in Tysons ear and told him never to come near his family again, then fired at him, purposely missing, then retired from training Tyson and working with him.
