Tyson vs Mirko

Gotta say, Tyson is pretty much a perfect matchup for Mirko. Mirko has ALWAYS had trouble with anyone who can get inside on him. He fights from a distance. Everyone who presses the action against him has done pretty well. Even that big galoot Sapp wasnt getting terribly hurt until Mirko landed that sweet straight and fractured his orbital. He managed to keep Mirko from planting and launching the LHK effectively until he gassed and lost the pressure. Fedor was able to beat Mirko by swarming him and stopping him from getting the LHK off effectively. Gonzaga did the same thing for the most part. Granted, both guys then took Mirko down, but that's just because they have an even larger advantage there than they did by swarming him, ground being their bread and butter.

I believe that unless Tyson gasses and loses the pressure, he would have a relatively easy win on his hands.


EDIT: Wow....didnt even realize this was a wicked old thread that I had posted in several times :P

40-5 and losing the european amateur championship match is a failure?

yeah, really. lol.

I can;t remember my original answer but I'd say that if Tyson tried to out-box him, Mike would lose as Mirko could attack the thigs, get mike to drop his hands, then the LHK. But mike was too fierce, aggressive, mean, fast, etc. He'd get in on Mirko in a hurry. Mirko, not being accustomed to that (to that extent) couldn't fend Mike off.

Mike easily wins that one regardless of venue and rules.

The guys that would have the best chace would be the olympic wrestlers b/c they're SO strong. But like I'd said so many times, you still godda get by his deadly and deadly accurate hands, THEN muscle him to the ground, and mike was no weakling.
