Tyson recovers, crushes Botha
Hard right blow saves comeback
The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Mike Tyson winced in pain as his cut man tried to stop the bleeding around his right eye. The look on the face of trainer Tommy Brooks was one of growing concern as he implored Tyson between rounds to try and get something together.
Tyson's wild punches were hitting nothing but air and Francois Botha was making him pay for it with well-placed counters. Worse yet, Botha was talking trash, taunting the fighter whose mere presence in the ring once terrorized his opponents.
This was no way for the baddest man on the planet to start a comeback.
"Don't worry," Tyson tola Brooks. "I've got him in my sights. Give me time. I'll get him."
The time came with 10 seconds left in the fifth round. It came in the form of a perfectly thrown right hand that crashed with a startling suddenness into Botha's face.
And it may have come just in time to save a career that seemed to be disintegrating once again in the same ring where his biting of Evander Hollyfield got Tyson banned from boxing 19 months ago.
"You knew it was going to come. You just didn't know when." Tyson said. "I knew I would knock him out. It was just a matter of time."
night may arguably have been the best single punch ever thrown by a man whose entire career is based on throwing big punches.
The right hand that sent Botha sprawling on the canvas Saturday
It wasn't just a million-dollar punch. This punch had a career riding on it, a career worth tens of millions more.
The two fighters were in a clinch as the bell sounded to end the round and their arms were linked while they tried to punch with their remaining free arm. Steele couldn't separate them, and nearly a dozen officials and corermen rushed into the ring to finally pry them apart.
Without it, Tyson was heading toward a third straight loss. With
It certainly was the most important.
The sudden ending of the fight thrilled the crowd of 12,519, who, for a few brief seconds at the end of the first round, may have thought they were going to see yet another Tyson fight end in bizarre fashion.
"In two weeks or so I'll get back into the gym and start working to capitalize on everything I screwed up tonight." Tyson said.
out it, he was heading away from the multimillion-dollar paydays so common for him.
"I got cocky and I paid for it," Botha said. "It was a punch I didn't see. Mike's a great hitter and I just walked into the punch."
"He's correct," Tyson replied. It may not have been pretty, but the one right hand salvaged the lucrative contracts Tyson has to fight as many as four times this year.
"It just feels great to do what I love to do." Tyson said. "But I've got to improve. I've got a long way to go."
"He was trying to break my arm,*Botha said.*
"He's correct." Tyson replied.
Botha, who turned out to be a credible opponent, asked for a rematch but Tyson will now go on to other fighters, with the hope that he could fight Hollyfield for a third time in November.

seven, he went reeling backwards into the ropes as referee Richard Steele waved the fight to a close.
Rotha had
won all four rounds on two of the judge's scorecards and three of the four on a third. He was growing increasingly confident as the fight neared its scheduled midway point, taunting Tyson at times with his gloves dropped to his side and exchanging words with him during repeated clinches.
"I felt I was in control of the fight," Botha said.
He was, but not for long.
As Botha threw a lazy right hand to the body late in the fifth round, Tyson threw a counter right hand with such perfect balance that when it smashed into Botha's face there was no doubt the fight was over.
Botha tried gamely to get up, but when he finally did at the count of
Tyson said he really doesn't care who is put in the ring with him.
Tyson's next fight is tentatively set for April 24, possible against Germany's Axel Schulz, who was at ringside. Other boxers in the mix include Lou Savarese and Shannon Briggs.
"If the price is right I'll fight a lion," he said.
Falcons in line for Super Bowl upset
Denver opened as an 8 1/2-point Super Bowl favorite against Atlanta, which means the Falcons probably have the Broncos right where they want them. Remember, they opened as 10-point underdogs against Minnesota in the NFC Championship game.
The Associated Press
Nobody paid much attention to Atlanta all season, probably from force of habit. That's because the Falcons live in the NFC West, dominated for years by San Francisco.
Atlanta was a perpetual aloran, with just seven playoff
Until now.
games and two postseason victories in franchise history. And everybody knows a domed stadium team has never reached the Super Bowl.
Coach Dan Reeves pieced together a talented team built around the running of Jamal Anderson, who ran for 1,846 yards, and Journeyman quarterback Chris Chandler, who has played for six teams in 11 seasons. After losing seven of their first eight games under Reeves, the Falcons finished last season on a 7-2 roll. This season, they picked up where they left off.
Many of the Falcons' key parts are castoffs. Chandler's receivers are Tony Martin, who came over from San Diego, and Terence Mathis, an ex-New York Jet. The defense is anchored by linebacker Cornelius Bennett and safety Eugene Robinson, both with Super Bowl experience elsewhere. Bennett played for Buffalo, Robinson for Green Bay.
The Falcons sneak up on people. That's how they beat the 49ers in the playoff opener, and that's how they beat Minnesota in the NFC Championship game. They play opportunistic football, leading the NFL with 4 takeaways, 25 fumble recoveries and a plus-20 turnover differential.
Anderson led the NFC in rushing and all-purpose yards (2,165). He had 12 games with 100 yards or more
and another in the playoff opener against the 49ers. That helped Atlanta lead the NFL in time of possession (33:10). And that will be the Falcons' strategy against Denver — keep John Elway off the field.
The Broncos bring a formidable attack to the Super Bowl. MVP Terrell Davis led the league with 2,008 rushing yards, the fourth 2,000-yard rushing season in NFL history. Denver likes to spread its offense to open running lanes for Davis.
Against the Falcons, however, he will face a defense that has permitted just one 100-yard rusher in the past 26 games and has an NFL-best record of 22-4 over that stretch.
Although they both bring heavy duty running backs to the Super Bowl with Anderson and Davis, and capable receivers and defenses, the quarterback matchup is vastly uneven. Elway is on his way to the Hall of Fame. Chandler is the favorite quarterback of travel agents with previous stops with Indianapolis, Tampa Bay, Phoenix, the Los Angeles Rams and Houston.
Like the Falcons, the Broncos are resilient. Shut out by the New York Jets through the first half, they found a way to take over the game and win comfortably.
The head coaches have an intriguing history.
When Reeves was at Denver — his teams lost three Super Bowls in four years from 1987-1990 — current Broncos coach Mike Shanahan was his offensive coordinator. They were best friends until 1992, when Reeves
fired Shanahan, believing he was exercising too much influence with Elway. The quarterback also was in the middle, complaining bitterly about Reeves' style when the Broncos fired the coach the next year.
Now they're all back together again in the NFL's ultimate showcase, Denver trying to defend its championship and Atlanta trying to convince people that it is as good as a 16-2 season suggests.
