Townsend, 36, also has been convicted of fraud by identity theft, trafficking in property known to be stolen, use or possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, court records show.

13. Punta Gorda, Florida!

I damn near died of hyperthermia there one time.

Nice place, but you don't want to overdress like I was told to do.

I signed up to go to a conference in Punta Gorda, Florida, and when I told my wife where it was, she said, "Wear the fox hat!"

23. Why would you wear a fox hat in Florida?

[Effete Snob]

"Wear the fox hat!"

Or, say it to someone else.

If so, Tyson stupidly helped him.

15. He must have purposely held back his punches.

[jmowreader]

24. He did

In the video, his punches have a stroke length of less than a foot. If he would have thrown boxing-style full extension punches he would have killed the guy.

28. 👊🏻

16. Both of them are fucking criminals.

They should have killed each other.
Both of them are pieces of shit.

What kind of ass provokes Mike Tyson?

And what kind of dangerous rage leads to biting off someone's ear Mike.
