Dear Lord, Mike Tyson to be on Oprah

[jon09]

Well I just finished watching it, and I had a bit of a different perspective of it.

He didn't cry the whole time, the only time he really did was when he was talking about his kids, or talking about his relationship with Cus D'Amato.

You have to remember this is Oprah, not Jerry Springer, so Oprah was trying to show the more human side to Mike.

He obviously had a hard trying to explain his feelings about a lot of issues, but he was also very honest about a lot of his demons.

He said that he wanted to sock Robin Givens when she started spouting a bunch of lies during that interview with Barbara Walters. He admitted that he was never faithful in his past marriages.

He admitted that at the time, he didn't regret biting off a piece of Holyfield's ear, and that his public apology wasn't sincere.

He basically came off as a guy who's trying to put his demons to rest, and trying to learn to live a better life, because he said that he was tired of failing, and didn't want to live life as a failure anymore. But you can see it's still a struggle for him.

I haven't seen the documentary Tyson yet, but I do want to check it out, because they were showing clips from it, and it looks good.

He cried quite a bit but all this has been said to death on Mike Tyson from his relationship with Cus to Robin Givens etc. The 1 thing that was frustrating to watch was that he cant seem to comprehend long questions and can never really give a straight answer. He talks about Exodus that she is an Angel but does not want to know about the situation of her death but yet family is the most important thing in his life. Life kicks the crap out of everyone and Mike needs to understand that and quit living in the past and playing the sympathy card.

Have you ever lost a child? Who are you to say how each person should handle grieving the death of their child.

Did you even consider that he has trouble expressing himself because he isn't well educated, and that maybe his brain might not be fully functioning from fighting, and all the drugs he did?

I'm not a huge fan of Tyson, so I'm not being biased here, but I don't think he tried to play the sympathy card. He answered the questions that Oprah was asking, what more do you want?

Actually I have so who are you to judge me? Being that we don't know each other its not fair to judge either one of us. I simply stated that life goes on and that he for the most part is a broken record regarding the eighties life that he lived. And I'm not sure what you were watching but he evaded alot of the questions. I tell you what agree to disagree cause I'm not going to beat a dead horse. You have your opinion and I have mine leave it at that. Thanks
