YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) -- Mike Tyson's return to boxing was no knockout. Not even close.

The former heavyweight champion and one-time baddest man alive opened his "World Tour" on Friday night with a ho-hum performance in a four-round exhibition against Corey "T-Rex" Sanders, a former sparring partner who outweighed Tyson by 50 pounds.

5. All the rapists clap their hands and yell, "Yaaaay, Tyson & Steele!"

In a television interview scheduled for broadcast Thursday, Tyson again denied he raped Desiree Washington in 1991 in an Indianapolis hotel room. But he said the burden of being labeled a convicted rapist makes him want to do it now.

"I just hate her guts. She put me in that state, where I don't know,'' Tyson said. "I really wish I did now. But now I really do want to rape her."

Tyson made the comments during a recent interview in Miami Beach with Greta Van Susteren, who was taking a look back at the circumstances of Tyson's 1992 trial that ended with him convicted of rape and sentenced to six years in prison.

He served three years of the sentence before being released on parole.

The GOP of the 21st Century: pedophilia, pederasty, rape, choking women, cyber-stalking, torture, suspension of habeas corpus, cover-ups ... et cetera, et cetera, ad nauseam

6. Gee, a convicted RAPIST is a Rethug backer?

I'm shocked, I tell ya, shocked!

8. Sam Seder calls them: the rayPUBlican party. he's been

calling them that for several months at the very least.

at first I thought I was hearing things, but he calls them that almost all the time.

9. Good to see dimwitted morons exposing their political affiliation.

Mike Tyson and his pathetic ilk is one of the reasons I stopped caring about boxing. No class, abrasive assholes like him did more damage to the sport that the mafia ever did. I yearn for the days of Ali, Norton, Foreman, and so on.

11. Going for the Rape-publican vote.

[Richard Steele]

12. So, is Steele properly documenting Tyson's CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION?

A donation of free advertising is no different than
a donation of cash, IIRC.

[Moloch]

14. I'm not surprised in the least by this....

How would you expect a violent, mysogonystic asshat to vote?
