Mike Tyson; what a beast!!

I always heard lafayette was a boxing town.
When younger could never find out where they trained at to atleast get to work with some good amature boxers.
I heard somewhere in Rayne a few years back they held some events.

As far Tyson I remember seeing match where one boxer was trying to wear him down due knew that only way to fight Tyson. I think the boxer didn't really start trying get points until later rounds. Boring fight due guy dancing but smart he knew you couldn't take shots from Tyson in early rounds.

Miss late 1970's where some matches went a few round hard hitting.

Biggest match I ever got to see live in person was guy from baton rouge fight a guy from one Latin American countries. Good fight but he lost. Local guy fairly well known around here and at one time was worked city of baker. What I would have given to get ring to train with him. I know I would got tore up but it would have been once in a lifetime thing.

Sad to see boxing losing events that were big and people watched.
