Iron Mike an all-round hit

Description
Mike Tyson had promised it would be spectacular, and the self-proclaimed animal of the ring was as good as his word. No ear biting, no late punches or any other kind of rule infringements were perpetrated to send the Marquis of Queensberry spinning in his grave; instead, the former world heavyweight champion produced four minutes and three seconds of pugilistic mayhem to condemn Julius Francis to a brave but utterly predictable defeat in their hugely hyped meeting on Saturday night.
