| 0:05.5 | Mike Tyson was found guilty of the three charges against him. Tyson is in prison. He gets convicted |
| 0:11.4 | on a rape charge. So I've got a guy named Mitch Blood Green, who fought Tyson once on the street |
| 0:17.0 | and once in the ring, and they hate each other. I say the outbreak of them. Can you get him in to |
| 0:22.5 | the facility where Tyson is being kept? I can get him in. He said, what's he going to say to |
| 0:27.6 | Mike Tyson? He's not going to say anything to Mike Tyson. He's going to hit him with the best shot, |
