Interview: Cliff Couser Las Vegas heavyweight "Black Bull" Cliff Couser (20-6-2, 9 KO's) resembles former undisputed heavyweight champ Mike Tyson. He has portrayed Tyson as a boxer in several movies. He sports a gold tooth and also goes by the nickname of "Twin Tyson." Regardless of what he's accomplished in and out of the ring, he's eager to be a role model for America's youth. In his last fight, Couser lost via third round KO to heavyweight Clifford Etienne in a bout televised by HBO. Couser returns tonight (3/29) at Hollywood Park Casino in Inglewood, CA against AJ Moore. How would you describe your amateur boxing career? I started off in an open division, it was pretty hard and I didn't get to learn a lot. How did you get your ring name "Black Bull"? I got a Tattoo bull on my arm and I'm a bull. How are you getting ready for your fight with A.J Moore? I don't know much about him but I'm definitely ready to go. I don't overlook anybody, I have trained hard for this fight. I'm ready. Please, describe your showdown with Etienne? It was a very stressful fight for me. I was kept 5 miles away from the arena. My trainer missed his flight, I was just confused and very upset. I didn't have my trainer on my corner to guide me. They just assigned me a guy. I don't even know his name and he didn't know me either. My trainer and I had a game plan for Etienne but he wasn't there for me. This other guy I didn't know if he was for me or against me but I later found out he was against me. He never told me anything in between the rounds. All he said was to move your hands and jab. I was so mad I wanted to slap his face but I didn't want to do any crazy stuff. Who do you see yourself fighting or what fights do you want at this point of your career? I don't know why they don't have me in the rankings. I want to fight all the guys in the top ten list. I would love to fight Wladimir Klitschko but he needs to come to America so I can show him how to fight. I perceive Lennox Lewis as a bum, in fact all tall guys. Holyfield is washed up. Who's you toughest opponent in the ring? Oh my! I think it will be my fight with James Tillis. I started off my boxing career with tough opponents. Why don't they rank me? It's a shame they don't see that. Your favorite fighters? My old time hero is Rocky Marciano. At present I like Arturo Gatti, Felix Trinidad, and of course I can't leave my brother Mike Tyson out. He's one of the best and greatest. Your thoughts on De La Hoya-Gatti bout? I think Gatti did very well but Oscar was just had too much for him. What do you like about Trinidad? I like his aggressive style, he come forward at you, each time he was dropped he got up and came back and wiped some ass. Look at what he did to Vargas. What do you like about boxing? The fact that it's one-on-one sport, I can come in with full anger and take it on to my opponent Your impression of Mike Tyson? He taught me a lot. We sat down and talked. He told me not to trust anyone. They will smile on your face then go behind you to break you. Some media people are good but a lot are morons. They want people to think bad about you. Any words for your fans? I thank my fans for their support. I ask them to stay away from drugs and get their education because the mind is a terrible thing to waste. I'll be coming out again. I love them all the way they love me. Come down to Hollywood Park if they can, it will be another exciting night. I love my New York, St Louis and East Coast fans and especially LA, too.
