Show TheHerakl Journal Logan Utah Thursday July 10 1997— Page Defense anyone? Bite night may prove good move for Tyson LAS VEGAS (AP) — Mike Tyson's harshest critics got what they wanted from Nevada boxing regulators It may also turn out to be what Tyson wanted too Tyson expected severe sanctions for biting Evander Holyfield'i ears and he got them on Wednesday when foe East nips West in MLS All-Staffair goal-riddl- ed ar EAST RUTHERFORD North American All-St- ar Nevada State Athletic Commission revoked his boxing license and fined him $3 million But what appears to be a lifetime ban might actually turn into the quickest route for Tyson to return the ring — possibly as early as next year “I feel very very confident you'll see Mike Tyson fighting again within a year” Tyson's attorney (Hear Goodman said Tyson was somewhere in New York where he flew a few hours before the hearing when the commission decided against suspending the former heavyweight champion for a set period of time and instead simply revoked his license to box in Nevada While ia New York he purchased a Ferrari 456 GT at the Wide World of Care in Spring VUley NY according to sales representative Nick Saradakis NJ (AP) — games are friendly mtfcfacs muted by gaping holes ia defenses httle-to-o- o contact nnd lots of acoring The NBA his that formula down pat So does the NHL And now Major League Soccer has joined in “The whole purpose is to please the crowd” said Carlos VUdemuna the MVP for the second stnight year as the Eart beta the Wat 5--4 Wwfamhy nighL “h was voy important to have an entertaining game We certainly (fid that lonighL h was a gmne that will hdp soccer grow

Cohunbus' Brian McBride “It was a great display of soccer” East coach Brace Arena or DC United said of the game played before a soggy crowd of 24816 m Giants Stadium “fiwas a great day for soccer in this country and MLS” It was not much of a night for anyone imereiled in defense Otr to be a goalie in the second halt when seven goals were scared But at least Mexican star Jorge Campos could relive his first MLS goal — while he was forgetting the four he allowed including three in seven minutes after replacing Mark Dodd in the net for the West "The goal wasn't important” said Campos who frequently has joined attacks for the Los Angeles Galaxy — but Ins fre- quently for die Mexican national team “To win was important Even though these games ate for show you still hate to lose legal adviser said If the commission looks favorably on Tyson's application next July for a boxing license though he could be back in the ring as early as August or September That would mean he would be out of the ring for barely more time than some active heavyweights take between fights “I think they're saying we're banning you for a year and then after that you can come back into boxing” said fellow boxer Lennox Lewis the WBC heavy weight champion Commissioners refused to say what they will do in a year's time but Goodman predicted that once the “lynch mob mentality” settles down Tyson wiU be able to get his license back “I know these fellas He'll be approved in n year” Goodman said New Jersey's top boxing regulator agreed “I'm sure Mike Tyson being the attraction he is ia the spot of boxing and the attraction he is in the state of Nevada and with the financial investall these things ment placed in him will weigh in his favor" said Larry Hazzard New Jersey's boxing commissioner “If he lives a clean life and gets psychiatric counseling I believe strongly they will give him his license back” It took boxing commissioners only 26 minutes Wednesday to judge Tyson guilty of unsportsmanlike conduct and discrediting boxing Another 18 minutes later with little discussion they voted unanimously for what on the ins a retail price in the The car $20(M)0O-$2S0J)0- 0 range “m be

against them” The West actually went with only two took a through pass by Galdcrisi and put in a hard right-footshot to win it “It was a wide-ope- n game with guys ed making runs left and right" McBride said “This game was a blast for a for-oward but maybe not for a defender” Typical game material The defenders in the second half ana they were easy marks for the East McBride surface seems to be the harshest penalty possible Then they held out hope that the fighter involved in most of boxing's richest fights may not be out of the sport long “The one person who has the most influence on how long this will last is Mike Tyson” said commission member Dr James Nave year from now for a new boxing license though there is no guarantee ut All-St- relax" said Jamel “Red" Stevens who described himself as a nephew of Tyson's friend “He’s upset but he knows he’s got to handle it" Stevens told the New York Post “He knew it was justified” State law allows Tyson to reapply a the commission will give him one “Essentially this is a permanent revocation with an annual review" Donald Haight the commission's ar MLS in its second year has learned that quickly Ladies of Liberty stung again HealeyII

Laker righthander Justin Nakiishi who pitched at the College of Southern Idaho this raring held the Sox three touchdowns below their offensive total in Wednesday's first game Cache Vhlley (7-- 5 in league play) still pushed across enough runs to win thsnks to Doug Scott The lefthander struck out 10 and walked two while going fee distance for the Sox “I kept my curveball down for die most part
