Tyson calls it quits after 6, McBride Wins
Tyson's career ends by TKO before the start of the 7th round. The youngest World Champion ever, now 39, calls it quits in his corner and says he doesn't have the stomach to fight anymore.
Despite many road bumps and dead ends in his career, the Tyson of 20 years ago will still go down as one of Boxing's greatest fighters ever.

Couldn't agree with you more. I gained back a lot of respect for him tonight. He came out and quit because he knew he didn't have the heart to do it anymore. He said he quit because he didn't want to disrespect the sport by participating in it just for the money. When I was watching him talk after the fight on ESPN I actually got sad that he was leaving, but I'm glad too. If he doesn't have the stomach for it anymore it's probably better for him to move on anyway. He will always be looked at as one of the greats in my book. Best of luck to him in whatever he plans to do next and I wish him the best of luck in getting ahold of his debt. I know that's the only reason he fought tonight. I hope he gets through it ok.

Takes a man to know when he is finished. Lets just hope he doesn't start popping up on night time news with cuffs on. Like the way most of his other post fight lifes have ended.

Actually when I was watching the post fight stuff on ESPN they said something about that. They said it looked like Tyson tried to bit McBrides chest. I didn't see the fight though, just got reports from a lot of people as the fight was happening so I couldn't tell ya if he is lying or not.

I watched the entire 6th round, McBride is leaning in alot so it is hard to tell. I didn't see anyting obvious.
