Page 16 THE HERALD OUTLOOK Saturday February 25 1889 Floyd Pattersons tip Grow up exchamp tells Mike Tyson Glen Eden bounces back By George Robinson NEW YORK Mike Tyson and Floyd Patterson have a lot in common Each had a troubled child hood Each was taken under the wing of boxing trainer When Tyson became the youngest man ever to win the world heavyweight cham pionship it was Pattersons mark thai he eclipsed So Patterson who is knows a thing or two about the turmoil sur rounding the 22yearold powerhouse Mike Tyson The only way I can see Tyson being beaten is if he beats himself says Patterson I cant see anybody out there beating him in the years to come only Tyson Tyson 350 31 KOs will de fend his crown on Saturday Feb against the Wo contender Frank Bruno 322 31 KOs of Britain The scheduled 12round bout will be tele cast live from the Las Vegas Hilton on HBO 10 pm EST Tyson is a heavy favorite in his fifth title defense Patterson says the late philosophy is still a key factor taught that the mind controls the body explains Patterson Based on Cus logic which I totally believe the mind can make the body do anything Tysons great strengths are his mind and his body And Tysons weakness New York says Patterson roaring with laughter He should stay the hell out of New York Patterson understands of course After all who else can boast I was the youngest heavyweight champion of the world Says Patterson ruefully Being RECREATION PARKS v DEPARTMENT 0 8775185 young is only an advantage inside the ring Outside the ring it isnt Youre sort of an amateur in life and theres so many things to learn Unfortunately Tyson an un schooled millionaire has been learn ing his lessons in love law and life it public His divorce battle with actress Robin Givens his legal strife with manager Bill Cayton and other non- pugilistic distractions have been aired in the tabloid press ad nauseam Patterson on the other hand used to keep to himself I lived in training camps he says stayed away from New York Theres too much tempta tion too many things going on That wasnt my lifestyle anyway In fact Patterson says he urged Ty son some time ago to follow a similar regimen always had him living in training camps the exchamp says He lived there and trained there That is what made him such a great fighter But when Cus passed away he started living in the city Before he began to train in early Being young is only an advantage inside the ring Outside the ring it isnt January for the Bruno fight Tysons weight was by his own admission as high as 250 pounds When he defeated Michael last June 27 in his most recent bout the champ weighed 218 Patterson is appalled by that To see Tyson pounds overweight was shocking he says When you are into it you dont stay away from training long enough for your body to get that overweight He should be con- Leisure Lines FREE PUBLIC SKATING Thanks to the Optimist Club of Georgetown and the Acton Rotary Club all skating times are free for the week of

alive I would say that with Cus no longer there Tyson is tied up in other things which could hurt him eventually Yet Patterson says still think hes going to beat Bruno in spite the long layoff from training His condi tion and reflexes will take a while to come back but I dont think its going to be that much of a problem Like Patterson before him Tysoji is a classic DAmato fighter a standup puncher who comes out and squares up in front of you with his hands held high Cus always believed in keeping your hands very high Patterson notes They used to call me a p-ka- boo fighter because I kept my hands very high But Tyson isnt a peekaboo fighter Hes usually too busy pom meling his opponents The only way to fight Tyson effec tively is to do a lot of moving like Muhammad AH used to do according to Patterson Only he still calls All by his original name Cassius Clay Pat terson points out that Tyson has dif ficulty with moving targets Hes proven that with some of the guys he has fought who only moved a little bit and gave him trouble If youre a man ager you want to get somebody to move the way Clay used to move Just how good is Tyson I consider him a great fighter says Patterson But that can never be proven simply because the compe tition is not there Whats more says Patterson Hes always a tremendous favorite By beating Bruno what is he proving You become a great champion by do ing something with the odds against you Of course theres another way to attain the aura of greatness in boxing As Patterson points out Joe Louis held the title for years Records are made to be broken Mike Tyson could break Joe Louis record Will he I dont know Lately Patterson has been busy training his son Tracy a promising featherweight Would the retired champ like to become Tysons tutor I wouldnt ask he says I have more pride than that But I would be honored I would talk to him about some of the things that hes gotten in volved in and remind him of how it used to be Maybe I could wake him up NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE On Sunday Jan 15 at approx imately 1015 pm Glen Eden Ski Area experienced a fire which destroyed the Areas com pressors which are the main component of
