My ole football coach lives in new Mexico said tillis lives near him and they visit The same saddle maker.

Got a call from coach, but the voice mail was James tillis. He left his number and told me call him back, so I did.

Really nice guy, though kinda hard to understand.

Told me "you know I whipped Tyson's arse don't ya?"
I said "yeah I know you were first guy to ever go the distance with him."

He replied "oh horse hockey, you know I kicked his arse."

I finally relented and he laughed and said "if I was in shape I would have knocked him out."

Then asked about my fighting and said if I ever make it down there he would teach me a thing or two. Super nice guy and you can tell he appreciated my knowledge of his career.

I know CSB

here is a pic coach text me. Said tillis is a cowboy at heart.

I have watched tat Tillis/Tyson fight numerous times and I must give credit to Tillis for taking some bombs from Iron Mike in his heyday. Classic Tyson is a thing of beauty to watch in the ring.

First time I ever saw Tyson fight was the Quick Tillis fight. And yeah, had James been in better shape he could have possibly given Tyson more than he wanted.

That's pretty cool!
