Leavander Johnson had worked a long time for his big night, 16 years to be exact. His first title defence turned tragic, however, leaving the veteran boxer in a fight that most with his kind of injury don’t win. Johnson was in a drug-induced coma on Sunday following emergency brain surgery he underwent just minutes after losing his lightweight title the night before.
Mike Tyson’s career apparently ended in yet another shocker on Saturday night when he quit on the stool after taking a beating in a foul-filled sixth round against unheralded Kevin McBride. Tyson lost for the third time in his last four fights, and once again he faded badly as the rounds went on before deliberately head butting McBride.

Vitali Klitschko staked his claim to being the true heavyweight champion on Saturday, knocking Danny Williams down four times and giving him a savage beating before finally stopping him in the eighth round. He then dedicated the win to democracy in his native Ukraine.
The punch was shocking enough. The result was even more shocking. Antonio Tarver’s left hand out of nowhere stopped Roy Jones Jnr in the second round on Saturday night, giving him the light heavyweight title and handing Jones the most crushing defeat of his illustrious career.
If all goes according to plan, and it rarely does when Mike Tyson is involved, the former baddest man on the planet will walk into a Phoenix gym sometime this week and begin hitting the speed bag. Or maybe he’ll walk into a Phoenix strip club and begin hitting on the dancers instead. He’s Mike Tyson, after all, so you never really know.
The Israeli athletes were enjoying a rare night out. With a break in the competition at the Munich Olympics, they saw a performance of ”Fiddler on the Roof” before heading back to their rooms at the Olympic Village.
