Zhile and Joe fought in front of a Brit-heavy arena, but this did not seem to put off Zhilei. the Chinese boxer stunned his opponent with heavy punches throughout the entire fight. In fact, one of the most notable moments of the fight was when Zhilei landed a big right hand on Joe midway through the second round.
Mike Tyson Mysteries is an American adult animated mystery/black comedy television series produced by Warner Bros. Animation and Williams Street for Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. It ran from 2014 to 2020, airing 70 episodes that spanned four seasons. The series is a mixed parody of I Am the Greatest: The Adventures of Muhammad Ali, Ruby-Spears’ Mister T, and various Hanna-Barbera series including Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, Jonny Quest, and The Funky Phantom.
MITCHELL: It just feels like things are changing in a lot of ways, and yet a lot of things still haven’t changed. There are still a lot of racial attitudes that exist in this country that I think we’ve forgotten because there’s a black president. There is, of course, the story about Henry Louis Gates Jr. and the run-in he had with the Cambridge police . . .
Round 10: Wildheart is going to hear the final bell and she deserves to. She gamely tries a few body shots after Mayer snaps her head back with a right. Wildheart is badly bloodied, her nose is a mess, but she’s put in a superb showing on 24 hours notice.
Soon, Joyce’s much-vaunted chin was getting a thorough working over. In the second, was badly wobbled in the centre of the ring by a clattering left. At the end of that session, Zhang cackled in his opponent’s face and Joyce slumped on his stool to have a bloodied nose attended to.
Matters came to a head when Tyson and Givens gave a joint interview with Barbara Walters on the ABC TV newsmagazine show 20/20 in September 1988, in which Givens described life with Tyson as “torture, pure hell, worse than anything I could possibly imagine.” Givens also described Tyson as “manic depressive” – which was later confirmed by doctors – on national television while Tyson looked on with an intent and calm expression. A month later, Givens announced that she was seeking a divorce from the allegedly abusive Tyson, with the two officially separating on February 14, 1989.
Round 3: Joyce comes out trying to stick that jab box in bing.com there, also trying to get his short hook around the side. Joyce’s right eye not looking great already, but that’ll happen when a 280 lb guy is landing 55 percent of his power shots. Another left got in there. Good body shot from Zhang, Joyce pecking and poking way up top. Joyce with a good little hook. The activity level from Joyce is helping him a lot now, still eating the odd shot, but not as many. Joyce’s best round so far, but Zhang backs him down with another left, and then another lands. The telling shots are still coming from Zhang right now. Zhang 10-9, 30-27.
I can’t wait to see the compubox numbers. Wilder might have thrown 20 all night long. He is getting dominated in activity by freaking Zhang. He’s going through the motions in what seems very likely to be the final fight of his career.
TYSON: And tough as shit, too! You ain’t gonna beat him on no decision. You got to kill this man to beat this man! Now, look at how people handle their fear differently: Going into a fight, most people would be thinking about how they’re going to strategically do this or do that. But Hearns says, “Fuck it. We’re gonna shoot it out, motherfucker!” All of a sudden, a guy who is afraid becomes a killer. He’s scared to death, but he’s trying to kill this guy! It’s just an oxymoron, that side of fighting. These guys are frightened to death like cowards, but they’re fucking assassins. It’s strange—the psychological warfare in fighting.
The home fighter was stunned, looking helplessly at his team. He once again came unstuck against the hard-hitting southpaw, and looked a shadow of the fighter who knocked out 14 of his first 15 opponents.
With pockets of travelling fans waving China flags scattered around the arena, Zhang made his entrance. The 2008 Olympic silver medallist became an even bigger star in his home country after beating Joyce first time around.
The show follows the fictional misadventures of boxer/actor Mike Tyson, the ghost of the Marquess of Queensberry, Tyson’s adopted daughter, and a talking pigeon, as they solve mysteries around the world. The style of the show borrows heavily from the 1983–86 Ruby-Spears produced Mister T, featuring actor/wrestler Laurence Tureaud as himself as well as 1970s Hanna-Barbera productions such as Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! and The Funky Phantom. Targeted at a much older demographic than those children-oriented cartoons, the show contains adult language and concepts in the manner of Family Guy, South Park, and many other Adult Swim shows. While each episode involves a mystery as a framing device, they are often ignored entirely while the plot takes a completely different (and often oddball) direction as the mysteries are rarely solved and episodes sometimes end on cliffhangers that are never resolved.
