Their big rematch is set for this Saturday night in Las Vegas, and last
night the two heavyweights weighed in at the MGM Grand.
Ironically, both Iron Mike and the champ Evander tipped the scales at
identical 218 pound weights.
Tyson is the favorite to regain his title.

changing.
Players at the high school and college levels are bigger, faster and more
