Watching the Lewis/Tyson fight in Vegas?
 
Hi,<BR><BR>I will be in Vegas on the night of the Lewis/Tyson fight.<BR>I would like to get the chance to watch the fight on a big screen and cheer on the English boy :)<BR>Do big fights get shown in the bars and casinos? I am staying at NYNY, so I guess the ESPN zone would be the best possibility.<BR><BR>Any info will be gratefully received.<BR><BR>Mark,<BR>Manchester,<BR>England.< BR>

Actually Mark, he bills himself as British not English. Oh and he's not even that, anyway, he's Canadian. Or West Indian depending on what mood/country he is in.<BR><BR>It'll be on in many places.

Yeah right! next you will be telling me my other all time English sporting hero, Greg Rusedski, isnt English.

Lennox Claudius Lewis weighed in at 10 lb. 10 oz. When he arrived in the world by Caesarean section at the same hospital where Dennis Lewis, his older brother, was born, Queen Mary’s, Stratford, on 2 September 1965.<BR><BR>(Just to set the record straight).

Heard Tyson is cancelling the fight. It seems there aren't enough Strip Clubs in Memphis to make his trip enjoyable.

NO it's Mrs. Tyson (without her chicken bites) vs Jerry Lewis, a much finer match-up.

sounds like a good SNL skit - jerry lewis v. mike tyson. <BR><BR>in answer mark's question, the fight (if it goes on) will be shown on any tv in any spot of vegas. you can go to the "sportbook" area of any casino and see it on huge screens, although you'd probably need to get there early to get a seat. there will be plenty of people in vegas with an "interest" in the outcome...<BR><BR>place a bet for me while you are there: tyson bites lewis in the third round.
