A Cultural History of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!

E-mail Print
Here is a little something about Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! I wrote for the Worldwide Leader.

This is the "go the distance" version with extra trivia nuggets at the bottom that got cut from the original. 

I feel, however, that I wasn't forthcoming in the original piece need to tell you that I never beat Iron Mike.

In fact, I never even got by Super Macho Man, and there's a chance I only beat Bald Bull in my dreams.

I know for a fact that I took down Piston Honda though. I fear not his TKO from Tokyo.

Enjoy this stroll down NES memory lane. For my money, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! is still the Greatest of All-Time. And if you forgot what made it the G.O.A.T., here's a quick refresher course from the champ.

Talking Beer With Greg Koch, CEO of Stone Brewing

E-mail Print


In this great new world of becoming a "branded" web writer (brilliantly summed up in this New York Times piece), I will be doing a lot more scribing on these here Intertoobz. It'll be a combination of article writing, blogging and rambling on as I see fit. Does it pay a lot? Ummm, No. But nobody asked me to be a writer in the first place.

Why am I telling you this? Because rule #1 on the Internet: It's all about the writer behind the laptop. 

One upside is that I can write more about things of personal interest, like say, beer. If you like malted beverages, pop open a frosty and give this audio slideshow on the canned craft beer revolution a listen to.

Then get yourself an Arrogant Bastard and enjoy this an epic Q&A with Greg Koch, CEO of Stone Brewing and a fellow USC alum. 

TrojanWire, your source for all things Trojan football and malted barely. 

The SC Song Girl slogan never seemed more fitting. Fight On, indeed.
