Look at these men in the shot.. shadows of men. pathetic. I hope one day the dogs turn on them.

Mike Tyson is a whole lot like one of those dogs -- he even bites parts off. And for what? Sure, he got a big paycheck, but his handlers got the lion's share. And he's a wreck of a human being. What does money mean to him now?

Take a look at the face of either boxer at the end of 12 rounds: Does it look like their soft cushy gloves and mouthguards saved them from harm?

The only difference in this spectacle and one at Caesar's Palace is the price of the ticket and the amount of money the bookies take in. Whether it's a dog, a quail, or a human being, a fighter serves only one purpose in today's society: to entertain people who like to watch fighting. Whether that's right or wrong is in the eye of the beholder, but let's not fool ourselves into thinking that we're somehow more "cultured" than these Afghani goons.
