LAS VEGAS —Mike Tyson
w talking boxing, while Meg
was nearby shooting pic
tures.
Tyson may be coming off his
worst beating at the hands of
Lennox Lewis, but Hollywood
still recognizes a star — even one
as faded as Tyson.
“Why are you taking my pic
ture?” Tyson asked the actress
Tuesday while sitting in a dress-
room getting his hands
wrapped.
Ryan explained that she
recently shot a movie about box-
|and “I just got into it.”
Besides, she said, “Sometimes
1 take good pictures.”
Sometimes Tyson fights well,
loo, though those times have
come with less frequency in
recent years. In a small gym near
downtown Las Vegas, however,
ie seemed to have hope for a

meet in a planned rematch.
“If he was that dominant he
should have knocked me out in
the second or third round,” Tyson
said of Lewis. “He was still
scared. He took no risks.”
Lewis, of course, didn’t need
to take many risks the night of
June 8 when he gave Tyson a
heating in the richest heavy
weight title fight ever.
Tyson had a solid first round,
then fought the rest of the way
in a sleepwalk before Lewis
finally stopped him with a right
hand to the jaw at 2:25 of the
eighth round.

I’m not going to
try and be Mr.
Primadonna and
stroke my ego, but
Pm still the hottest guy
going down the pike.
— Mike Tyson
Former World Champion
Tyson said he knew after the
first round that it was not going
to be his night.
“I came back to the comer
and I was dead. I was dead tired,”
he said. “I didn't know what I’d
do now.”
Tyson, who fights Etienne in
Memphis on Feb. 22, talked for
the first time publicly about why
he lost as he sat getting his hands
wrapped for a sparring session.
As usual with Tyson, the
conversation drifted to things
beyond boxing.
“Hi Mike, I’m Meg,” Ryan
said by way of introduction.
“I know who you are,” he
replied.
Tyson was in a good mood,
but there was clearly work to be
done for new trainer Freddie
Roach. With his shirt off he
appeared in good shape and near
his expected fighting weight.
Etienne is not likely to cause
Tyson many problems, but he
desperately needs a big knockout
win not only to regain his confi
dence but to sell a proposed
rematch with Lewis.
Lewis said Friday through
his attorney, Judd Burstein, that
he would likely face Tyson
again in June if Tyson looks
good against Etienne.
A Tyson-Lewis rematch won’t
do the business the first fight did,
but still could be lucrative for
both fighters. Tyson used the
Lewis fight to pay off debts he
owed the Showtime network, and
he must pay $6.5 million of his
future purses to his ex-wife, as
part of their divorce settlement.
“Who else is he going to
fight?” Tyson asked of Lewis.
“I’m not going to 117 and be Mr.
Primadonna and stroke my ego,
but I’m still the hottest guy going
down the pike.”

ALAMEDA, Calif. — Barret Robbins was inco-
rerent and didn’t know where he was the night
tore the Super Bowl, Oakland Raiders coach Bill
Callahan said Wednesday in his first public com
ments about the troubled All-Pro center.
Robbins, who has a history of depression, spent
supetBowl Sunday in a San Diego hospital after
Spring from the team’s hotel the night before.
Rotes reportedly had stopped taking his med-
w/urdepression. He missed a team meeting, a
meeting and a walkthrough practice
ty, Callahan said.
“/was fearful something wrong was occurring,”
sill Callahan, who decided to bench Robbins on
iaiurday night.

Robbins could not make flight arrangements
m San Diego to Oakland because his wallet and
identification were missing, Callahan said.
A man who says he was among a group that drank
with Robbins on the day before the Super Bowl told
the Sim Francisco Chronicle that heavy drinking left
the Raiders’ center despondent and suicidal.
“He was crying and totally depressed about his
life and the pressure he was under,” said Cartier
Disc, who owns a vehicle customizing business that
has served several Raiders players.
“This guy was messed up. All he could think
about was his family, his two daughters,” Disc told
the newspaper. “He was talking about killing him
self, saying he was disappointing people and he had
a lot of people to support financially and he was let
ting them all down.”
Disc did not return calls Wednesday.
“There’s a point in time you can only do so
much as a coach and as an organization,” Callahan
said. “His situation didn’t mandate personal body
guards around the clock.”
When asked if Robbins is still a Raider, Callahan
said, “absolutely” and said there’s a “viable”
chance he will play for the team.
Ames
Now in his 18th season at A&M, Kleinecke will be returning sen
ior Ashley Hedberg and juniors Jessica Roland and Roberta Spencer
for the 2003 season. Roland, the ITA Southwest Region Player to
Watch, boasts a singles top 125 ranking at No. 108.
The Aggies are eager to make their fourth consecutive NCAA tour
nament appearance led by such veteran athletes.
“We have a fairly young team,” Kleinecke said. “We have a long
way to go, but with the potential this team possesses I have high hopes.”
The Aggies also hope that sophomore Florida State transfer Lauren
Walker, ranked No. 107 among collegiate singles, will make a speedy
recovery from an off-season surgery.
The Aggies will make their home debut on Feb. 15 against
No. 59 LSU.
