The Onion scoops the story of a new Mike Tyson documentary trapped in the world of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (and yes, those two exclamation points were part of the Nintendo game's title)

Running 144 minutes without pauses, the documentary follows Tyson through the MINOR, MAJOR, and WORLD CIRCUITS, where his fighting took him to faraway and exotic places, including Tokyo, Spain, the USSR, and Hippo Island. ...

"Tyson was the toughest fighter in the boxing game at the time, but he was also the first fighter to pay attention to patterns and warning signals," Yoneyama said. "Before he came on the scene, no one realized that opponents sometimes raise their eyebrows or twinkle the gem in the middle of their turban immediately before throwing a punch." [Link]

I still remember bleary-eyed games of Punch Out!! at 2 a.m. during elementary-school slumber parties. Good stuff. - Jeremiah
