| Fan Talk: Mike Tyson-Trevor Berbick: The Fight That Made Me a Fan For Life |

A boxing fan must always look to the future of the sport for there lies the strength. We as fans have our favorite fighters either current or retired and in some cases long retired. One thing I think we should never forget is to look back and remember why we are fans. What makes us see the beauty in such a violent sport that some see as stupid or pointless? What made us choose Boxing over other more predominant sports such as Football, Baseball and Basketball? What makes you drawn in to the blood…the punishment?
For me it was one fight, one man and one devastating knockout that maybe I had blown up in my head to make it bigger than it was. Going back and watching it now 20 years later it has come to my attention that as a young boy I hadn’t blown it up, it was very much real and as lasting as I remembered it to be. That fight is Tyson-Berbick, and that fighter is none other then “Iron” Mike Tyson.
I can still remember sitting at my best friend’s house, Adam Carter was his name and his parent’s ordered all the fights. I saw such fights as Ray Leonard-Marvin Hagler, Julio Cesar Chavez-Hector Camacho, Mike Tyson-Buster Douglas as well as Tyson-Trevor Berbick and the “Rocky” Movie series, which was my first taste of Boxing and Mike Tyson.
I had heard my friend talk about Tyson and being young and not really knowing anything about the sport I was always like, “Ya, Tyson is the best” trying to not sound like I had no idea what was going on, when in all reality, I had heard the name but knew nothing more of the man called “Iron Mike.”

On Monday night, the first lady of boxing Jackie Kallen put together a special three-bout card at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The premise behind the card, which drew a sold-out crowd of over 700, was to raise funds for Vista Del Mar, which is located in Los Angeles. Vista Del Mar Center are dedicated to the well-being and care of children and families in Southern California who suffer the emotional, physical, psychological and social consequences of abuse, neglect and abandonment.
Almost one million dollars was raised for Vista Del Mar from Monday night's proceeds. Celebrities in attendance included former world champions Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, Lightweight contender Ricky Quiles, female boxing champion Daisy Lang, actor/ songwriter Frank Stallone, Super Middleweight contender Joey Gilbert, Leila Milani (Deal or No Deal), Mitch Gaylord, Monte Hall, and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
In the fight of the night, actor Danny Bonaduce and OJ Simpson attorney Robert Shapiro fought in a three round exhibition. The crowd was stunned when former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson escorted Shapiro to the ring.
