	Peter McNeeley vs. Larry Menefee (January 11, 1998)
		Eleven days into the new year and we already have a strong contender for the "Worst Fight Of The Year." It proved to be an epic struggle in which Peter McNeeley, known for his first round destruction at the hands of Mike Tyson, squared off with Larry Menefee, a doughy heavyweight from Oklahoma.
		The hero of the night was referee Chuck Hasset, who finally called a halt to the comedy and awarded the victory to McNeeley (43-3, 33 KO's) after disqualifying Menefee (10-2, 5 KO's) for repeated fouling during eight bizzare rounds.
		McNeeley (224, 1998) six-and-one since losing to Tyson, chased Menefee, 20, around the ring while the younger boxer continued to stick his tongue out at the Boston slugger.

	Hurricane finding his second wind - smh.com.au
		McNeeley, once ranked the No7 heavyweight by the World Boxing Association, is best known for lasting just 89 seconds against Mike Tyson in 1995.
		In the Tyson fight, McNeeley went right at his heavily-favoured opponent and was floored twice in the first round before his manager, Vinny Vecchione, jumped in the ring.
		McNeeley knows his mother is keeping a close eye on him since his dark days in a Brockton crack house in 1996, when his family and Vecchione were searching for him.

		But McNeeley's ring generalship, such as it was, did not permit Tyson much finesse or even the use of his power.
		Nobody believed McNeeley would last more than a round or two, but a quick stoppage in itself would not have been a terrible disappointment; it was expected.
		McNeeley backed into the ropes, seemed to slide just a little, and the ever-hatted Vecchione, to everyone's enormous surprise, was immediately up in the ring to force Lane to stop the fight.

		The extent of McNeeley's attack was this: He landed one good left hand and he succeeded in shoving Tyson into the ropes.
		Near the center of the ring, he caught McNeeley with a hook to the chin, a hook high on the head and a right uppercut.

	McNeeley thinks penalty too stiff
		That's pretty heavy," Peter McNeeley said Wednesday after the Nevada State Athletic Commission revoked Tyson's boxing license and fined him $3 million for biting Evander Holyfield's ears during their heavyweight title fight.
		McNeeley said the commission should have imposed a two-year ban and that Tyson was ultimately good for the sport.
		McNeeley disappointed millions who had paid big money to watch his August 1995 fight with Tyson, when after less than two minutes of boxing his manager Vinny Vecchione threw in the towel.

		Almost 10 years ago, Peter McNeeley was in Kevin McBride’s shoes, but that’s not to say he empathizes with him.
		According to McNeeley, McBride also has plenty to be worried about with Tyson in spite of Tyson not being what he used to be.
		McNeeley said Vecchione will try to get him a comeback fight in the Boston area and that he may fight overseas.

		It is not so much that Barnardo blew "Hurricane" McNeeley away with one left hook to the head after 41 seconds in the first round but rather McNeeley's pedigree that will attract interest.
		Vecchione charged into the ring to rescue McNeeley after he was decked for the second time in the space of 89 seconds of the first round.
		I was dead scared and I decided I could not expose Peter to Tyson a moment longer.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		And Peter McNeeley lived up to the promise that had made him a 17-1 underdog.
		McNeeley was knocked down about seven seconds into the first round and not long after that a second time that so impressed his manager-trainer, Vinny Vecchione, that he jumped into the ring to end the bout at one minute, 29 seconds of the round.
		It seems the question of whether McNeeley would have been risking serious harm if he had continued depended Saturday night, at least, on the angle of the viewer.

	New England Chatta - JD Vena
		Last night, McNeeley (227) visited the professional boxing ring for the first time this year and his second since his debilitating loss to Butterbean last June when he pulverized a Leominster Police Officer for nearly every second of the first round.
		It seemed that McNeeley would also have to act as a ringside official and end matters with his own fists; he did moments later with a chopping right hand to jaw.
		After the bout, McNeeley was also unavailable for questioning (I was kicked out of the locker room) as he was too busy consoling Siciliano.

	Tyson-McBride Fight Predictions \| TheSweetScience.com Boxing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The one prediction I will make is this: after this fight, Tyson will no longer be able to claim Peter McNeeley as the worst Irish heavyweight he's ever faced.
		The only part of this prediction that goes out on a limb is that I see Tyson being somewhat cautious in the first round.
		Saints preserve us, and with apologies to my seven and two-thirds Irish great grandparents, but there is no way I can forecast a victory for The Clones Colossus, even if he is 9-feet-4 and weighs 459 stones.

		When it was announced that Mike Tyson would be fighting an Irishman who lives in the Boston area on June 11, Rich Cappiello knew what everyone was thinking.
		“Kevin McBride is not Peter McNeeley,” said Cappiello, referring to Tyson’s first post-prison opponent.
		Cappiello, who promotes McBride, likes his fighter’s chances against a Mike Tyson who will turn 39 at the end of June better than McNeeley’s chances against a 29-year-old Tyson.
