    Different people grieve in didderent ways. Sould we be the judge of them?
    He has a violent background so maybe he can’t think too much of others other than to try and destroy them.
    As long as Tyson breaks no laws then I believe can can do what the heck he pleases. But as far as his boxing days, he’s nothing but a has-been now. He can entertain by going on wrestling and fake punch his way into stardom. hahaha.

    I can sure relate to Mike. My son got married on the same day that his mother passed away. The wedding was already planned and it was their decision to go ahead and get married. His mother would have wanted him to anyway. I’m not a Mike Tyson fan nor a boxing fan. My daughter was killed in a car wreck 6 years ago. You never forget.

    To each, his own… I don’t think I could do it, but I am not in his position! People work around “issues” in different ways.

    They felt it was the right thing to do. Good for them.

    The use of ‘only’ in the report. This suggests there is something wrong with what Tyson did. Michelle Castillo, why did you comment on the time between the death of the child and the marriage? Why is this newsworthy?

    Why didn’t he marry the baby’s mama? He went and married another woman. Oh Mike, you’re so f***ing fragile.

    I know it would take me eons to get my head screwed on straight if God forbid I ever lost a child. But everyone handles these things in their own way. I just hope no one is taking advantage of his emotional state of mind.

    You’re a smart one Sally. He divorced his “baby’s mama” a while back. If you read it says “daughter from his second marriage.”
    Maybe you should read.
    Hopefully his new wife can help him through this difficult time. My parents lost my sister in a fire in ’85 and my Dad drank significantly more. I hope Mike doesn’t have to resort to that to get him through it.

    This man was a good fighter. This man has a funny cameo in THE HANGOVER. But this man is not good at marriage. I say divorced before 2010.

    So is this article suggesting some kind of conspiracy?

  • Himanshu

    Just goes to show that in this world nothing matters except self: evereyone else is so very dispensable, even if they are your very own kids. Marrying that female and the carnal pleasures it brings obvioudly could not have waited…the four year old kid be damned.

  • DaddyTyson

    It should have been Mike.

  • Alan Truism
