Tyson vs. Spinks

The year was 1988. I remember it well, because I'm old like that. That summer, the much anticipated and very much hyped fight between two undefeated heavyweights - Mike Tyson and Michael Spinks - took place in Atlantic City. I didn't get to see the fight; I believe it happened while my parents and I were on our epic road trip from Cincinnati to L.A. because I feel like I heard the results when I was in California. Either way, the fight was over hyped. It was a bludgeoning that took a little over a minute and then none of us ever heard of Michael Spinks again. I believe I drew this from a photo in Sports Illustrated. I know, this looks like the photo itself, but it's not. This is merely the photo-quality artwork of yours truly.

By the way, I would have been 13 when I drew this. So if you in any way make fun of this masterpiece, then you are bullying a minor, and bullying is wrong 🤣
