If you’re as old as I am and even remotely a gamer, you’re likely to remember the ever-so-popular Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out released on the first generation Nintendo. In it, you’re a likable up-and-coming box named Little Mac trying to advance through the professional circuit which dead ends in a final fight against the menacing Iron Mike. Well, 20 years later, Nintendo plans on bringing the game back...

After watching the Cubs crumble under 100 years of history, the author feels there should be an addendum to Bill Simmons’ “Levels of Losing.” In 2002, Mike Tyson fought then-champion Lennox Lewis for the heavyweight title. Lewis dominated the fight, beating up a sluggish and emotionally spent Tyson. In the eighth round, Lewis knocked Tyson out, mercifully ending the fight. When asked what was next...

It's a long shot almost beyond contemplation: Imagine the ballet equivalent of hockey's Miracle on Ice, or of the nearly winless Buster Douglas setting his sights on Mike Tyson's heavyweight belt. That kind of supreme confidence -- and possibly overreaching -- will be on view this week at the...

Filed under: Video Games Of all the video game properties we're excited to see get resurrected, 'Punch-Out!' certainly has the most difficult pedigree to live up to. 'Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!' is one of the greatest games to ever grace a console, and 'Super Punch-Out!' was a worthy follow-up that featured fantastic cartoonish graphics (for a Super Nintendo game). The Wii will be getting its own 'Punch-Out!'...

People trash Nintendo for simply recycling their old NES franchises over and over with each new console or handheld they make but this is one update no one should mind: a Wii remake of the arcade-style boxing game Punch-Out!! . Sans Mike Tyson, of course.

Ahh...Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! While I detest this game with a passion for its brutal difficulty, I also have very fond memories of it from my nostalgic days. That is one reason why this game still sits on my game...

One of my all time favorite games for the old school NES was Mike Tyson’s Punch Out, so you better believe I’ll be picking this up: Punch-Out!! Wii 'Debut' trailer I really hope that it has the between-round commentary. “I’m gonna make you punch drunk!”

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (or just plain ol' Punch-Out!! if you arrived too late to the party to enjoy that brief window of time where Tyson was actually admired) remains one of Nintendo's most beloved classics. It was one of those rare instances where the limitations of home hardware worked in an arcade port's favor: While the original game was a decent enough boxing sim, the NES version benefited...

So apparently Mike Tyson had this giant mansion built in Ohio in the 1990s. Tyson was still high on the hog I guess and had, you know, the usual 10,000-square-foot swimming pools, waterfalls, tiger cages, and indoor ice-cream parlors you...

Trash talkers have been part of the sport since its earliest days, from John L. Sullivan’s drunken hollering to Mike Tyson’s threats to eat Lennox Lewis” children. Actually, Tyson went beyond trash—what emerged from his mouth was some kind of outer-space debris. But Tyson’s unhinged tirades were simply his version of boxing’s oldest tradition, something the old-time writers referred to as “mouth fighting.”....

"The most successful people are those who are good at plan B." - James Yorkce "Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth." -Mike Tyson One of my favorite books is Bo's Lasting Lessons which was written by legendary University of Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler. In the book Bo talks about sudden change; How when the offense turned the ball over rather than get demoralized the...

John Conway looks absolutely mental in this photo. It's the crazy eyes. It makes him look like he is quite prepared to do what Iron Mike Tyson would only threaten to do and literally eat your children. But hey, if that psycho-stare of his is enough to keep Colorado from putting 4 past them like last time, run with it. Hopefully a bit of crazy-keeper will offset the " No van den Bergh Effect" enough...
