Thank you Sterling for uploading these entire programs. These were the last of the good old days in boxing history.
Yes they were great! Loved when Tyson was the face of boxing. ULTIMATE WARRIOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There's great boxing on today: Crawford, Garcia, and others are out there just crushing tomato cans lol.
@@LIONTAMER3D Today, you might get a big fight once, maybe twice a year. Back in the 80's and 90's there were big fights on every month on many different channels...FOR FREE.
What, when his own Team admit they don't know much about boxing, and Don King is at the helm? I think not.
Last fight of Tyson's when he was truly on top of the world.
Agreed strongly
This was exactly the last one, but the last two fights were with Team Tyson (with King and no Rooney) vs Bruno, Williams, and then Buster, he would Kayo Tillman, and Alex Steward in his last fight on HBO and go to Showtime and fight Razor Ruddock twice and Nov 1991 was set for Tyson challenging Evander but would happen Nov 1996

WRONG he was undisputed champion yrs later after being locked up
ChillPill365 spinks was his last good fight, but I know what you mean, he could of gone down as the greatest HW ever, unfortunately that bitch and king got there claws in, and Tyson lost all love for the sport and became a head hunter and stopped frowing those great combinations and lost that great head movement boxing's biggest shame,
Thanks sterling.I'm from London .never got to see these American telecasts at the time.I'm 38 now and seeing these is wonderful.boxing was great in the 80s
I actually think ITV covered this one. Possibly live! Reg Gutt' & Jim Watt were definitely there and did commentary.
@@jamesbondiv4072 yes itv did cover the show.but like I said nice to see the American telecast after all those years.
@@Anthony-Testicali Oh, got ya! I totally agree! Happy Easter!
What a great post fight interview from Mike Tyson... When he said I'll fight anyone anywhere, even in their backyard, I started laughing. Man, at least for me, these were the good ol' days. I remember watching this fight, and every other fight of Tyson's with my father back in the 80's and 90's. Thanks for the video!
ANUSH SLAVEIKOV Tyson Fury is a big Mike Tyson fan I believe Tyson is his favourite Fighter
and then he got KTFO in his next fight lol
@@TJC-zz4zxyup Buster Douglas and the only reason that fight took place in Japan was because it didn't gain enough interest in the States. Holyfield was the number one contender but Tyson and King wouldn't give him a shot. Now of course I don't think it was because Tyson didn't think he could beat him. It had more to do with Holyfield being managed by Bob Arum. King and Arum hated each other. Plus King always made sure who ever was fighting for the title were being managed by him.
I don't think Holyfield was with Arum he was with Duva.@@BrandonTharphorrortownusa
@@TJC-zz4zxOnly in boxing a 5 ft 10 guy who parties not trains and loses to a 6 ft 4 240 lb guy sipposed to be embarrassed?
So called Team Tyson 07:35 was Mikes end....after Rooney...he was sourrounded with incompetitine bunch of idiots
+Adicka Adooki Can't argue with you on that one. And I'm a die-hard Tyson fan.
+Paa Kaber Khamem Zazan i highly doubt kevin rooney woulda been able to get tyson to take training seriously. on the other hand i do think he mighta been able to stay undefeated longer than he did and might won a controversial decision against buster douglas. just my opinion.
Whack as trainer Snowell!!
He surrounded himself with a bunch of gold diggers.
Adicka Adooki Yea, that’s true.... But regardless, Tyson post-Douglass before he went to prison was at his absolute best, nobody in heavyweight history would have defeated him just before he went to prison, when he was 24-25 years old and finally into his physical actual prime, he was just as much of an animal as he ever was before the loss. When he went to prison he was 41-1 with 37 knockouts. He was a monster. He should’ve retired after the loss to Lennox but kept goin to destroy his record & legacy even further because he needed a damn paycheck (because he was a blatant fucking idiot with his millions lol) just like so many other great fighters have done.... Don King & co. was the worst decision he ever made yes, but this was still when Tyson was at his best regardless. He did NOT in ANY way start to look “sloppy” like some of these morons have tried to insinuate. He was still the most dangerous fighter to ever step in a ring at that point. I mean even when he came outta prison he was STILL a monster; he was still only 29 at the time & won the WBC belt (the heavyweight green belt was the most sought after title in fight sports back then, and really still is) almost right after he got out. The ONLY reason he lost to Holyfield is because he literally had a concussion from getting head-butted so many damn times. Holyfield was one of the dirtiest fighters in history, he head-butted his way to victory in every single one of his wins he ever had. That’s the entire reason Tyson finally bit him in their second fight, I mean in the first bout, Tyson was tearin him tf up until he caught the first good head-butt from him that dazed his vision all up. Holyfield was a bitch. A complete bitch. He got cheated tf out in both of those bouts. I would have bit his ass too if he head-butted me that many times and gave me a concussion, Tyson literally barely even knew where he was at, he just leaned forward and bit, it was like a fucking reaction. Actually watch it happen..... I’m not defending it, not at all. He’s still an idiot for doing that and getting himself DQ’d, but what I’m saying is Holyfield brought it on himself, and Tyson was the only one to feel consequences from it. Both his fights against him were complete bullshit.. and it was pretty much all downhill after that, once he hit 30 he started the downslant and fast. He did have a couple good knockouts after that, in 99-2000 or so, but once he got busted up by Lewis he just wasn’t even the same fighter anymore, that was the first fight where I actually did not see iron mike Tyson in the ring. It was just sad to watch as a huge Tyson buff.... But anyways, my point was just that yeah you were right in that statement, but he was still a monster for the next 5 or so years afterward. Right before he went to prison, like 1990-1991, after he’d been humbled and knew what it felt like to take an L, Tyson was thee most dangerous fighter to ever step into a ring. Period.
RIP Carl Williams.
Mike Tyson was never the same boxer without Kevin Rooney history tells us that's the truth. These amateurs he had around him was the beginning of the downfall for Mike Tyson.
Did u not see that counter punch this is without ROONEY
Who was he actually fighting 😳 during that time
Remember bustwr douglas fight they had no endswell and tyson ate right hands for 5 rounds without seeing them
Similar to when Triple G shed his earlier trainers
@@vlLEGTxSQUADX That was a remnant of the training he had from Rooney and the OG Cus team, not the hangers-on he had by this point.
Thanks for uploading this. I’ve been recovering from a hip replacement and these fights have been the only thing keeping me sane
How’s the hip doing?
@@pippo321321 got them both done separately. They felt a little off for about a year. I used to refer to my left as the bad one and right as the good one. But theyre both starting to feel good and balanced after some time. Staying active helps
I'm surprised Carl's jaw was still in one piece after that shot. I think the ref did him a favor.
This fight took place on referee Randy Neumann's 41st birthday. Only 41. He looks like hell for that age.
agreed, sort of like Archie Bunker
He looks at least 55.
Tyson without his Trainer Roney began to lose the discipline...and he wrote his own End!!
Its true!
Also, he changed managers. When Don King came into his life, it was all downhill. Sad.
Andre McGoo yes he did? Wtf Rooney was keeping him in line with cus’s trying
Post fight you can see the change maybe? More arrogant...
You can see it in this fight. Hes not accurate hes running into clinches
Undisputed undefeated heavyweight champion of the world. What a tough earned privilege
At a young age.
Plus the youngest heavyweight world champion.
You can tell Williams was affraid of Mike that's why he kept jabbing at Mike and working his legs to turn and counter Mike but he was to slow for Mike.
Mike figured out how to get inside and destroy the guy
Its definitely insane especially when u say it that way
love these HBO full shows! thank you Sterling!!!!!!
28:40 When the ref asks if Williams is alright, he looks down at the ground, closes his eyes, and shakes his head "NO".
The ref waves it off and THEN Williams begins to protest the stoppage. Just watch.
Not true
@@aleksalex1590 Watch the video. It's absolutely true. Very subtle, but true. Body language said NO!
I like what Larry Merchant said at 4:50. It really highlights the aura of domination that was Mike Tyson during this time.
Cool upload bro. I have tons of VHS tapes full of boxing matches stored away, I keep telling myself I'm going to transfer some of them to DVD, but having a wife, work and two kids limits my time. I have an obscene amount literally I used to tape EVERYTHING. All the PPV, HBO, showtime, Tuesday night fights, ESPN, Prime ANY boxing I even traded with guys overseas. I appreciate these uploads since I can never find time to transfer my own. Boxing was amazing in the 80's and 90's. I'm still a huge fan but at the moment it's not what it once was. Thanks again bro!!
Nah they've been stored properly and Ive checked them (some) in the past year and they still look flawless. All were recorded in SP mode, the highest quality available and I never reused tapes, one time recordings on all.
Upload all tapes, its modern sporting history, our kids need this in there life's, you could earn a ton of money off UA-cam views!
You should convert all of those to digital and upload them.

Prime Holyfield vs Tyson, & Prime Bowe vs Tyson are 2 dream fights we were robbed of 🥊.
Tyson 0-2
@@travzimmerman1340
At that Time i think Bowe would be more Dangerous than Holifield for Tyson.. But if it goes above the 9th, Holyfield would also be deadly for Tyson.
Larry called it when he said that Tyson doesn't seem to b enjoying boxing anymore. It's a shame because his physical condition and ability were still improving, but when your heart and mind isn't in the game anymore it's a loosing battle.
Carl Williams had everything but a good chin. Size,boxing skills,decent power and a great jab. His chin was alwasys his downfall. Too bad.He really was a talented fighter and good guy. RIP Carl The Truth.
joe dowd is he dead?? o.O
Jennifer P. Carl died of cancer in April 2013.
Thas too bad he was kind of nice guy RIP
S D look at the ref's mouth in the slow mo he said "are you alright? " Williams shook his head left to right signaling no so the fight was stopped.
maybe so, but TYSON was still the only man to stop WILLIAMS with one punch........ WEAVER and MORRISON stopped him with a BARRAGE of hard Punches, and CARL WILLIAMS destroyed the hard punching BERT COOPER
I like Mike's confidence in the post fight interview. lol
"No one is even close to me" 8 months later, Buster Douglas had something to say about that.
Buster got lucky. He wasn't fighting a prime Tyson and that's a fact.
@@Broteinnit's not Buster's fault Tyson was too busy doing blow and banging broads to train for the fight
No excuses Douglas won fair and square
@@Broteinn tyson was like 22 0r 23 of course it was prime Tyson
You can see after Michael Spinks, Tyson's abilities were whining down. I still say that Tyson fireing Kevin Rooney affected him. That was the setup for the buster douglas defeat
It did look like Williams could continue, but the stoppage was his own fault. After the fight, he said 2-3 times that the ref asked him if he was OK, so he put his hands up. For one, he didn't put his hands up. For two, why didn't he just say "I'm OK" when asked. It's almost as if he didn't want to continue -- because he knew he'd get his ass kicked -- and figured the easy way out was to blame the ref.
After the first question, it seemed to me he shook his head (saying no) !?
Fight would have ended seconds later.
You can see Williams close his eyes, look down, and shake his head "NO" when the ref asks if he's okay. Then the ref waves it off and Williams begins his fake protest over the stoppage, trying to make himself look tough after the fact and create controversy where none existed.
He never did put his hands up. He was scared of how hard he got hit. Plus he just wanted to get his money and go. He is as fake as they get. Facts.
@@gerardusch he shook his head because his block got knocked off and he was probably still seeing stars
Carl Williams was the Truth. His fight with Holmes proved that. Great boxer but Tyson at this stage of his career was unstoppable. No man in boxing stood a chance that includes Evander Holyfield. Mike was the best finisher in the game period.
People using too many drugs saying Tyson was fighting Tomato cans .Look at this guy's record and he goes out on about one minute seventeen seconds of rd 1 , almost all the fighters caught hell early and Tyson made them look elementary .This guy was the best .
Mike Tyson fanboy spotted. Holyfield wiped Mike's ass twice . Accept Facts
I agree! The Lennox Lewis fight was a fluke. That wasn't "The" Mike Tyson, but merely a shell of a man who once had been.
Well evander wasnt due to fight mike until 1991 even offering tyson a 'winner take all challenge' but mike claimed an injury and the fight was off.
Ofcourse nothing to do with witnessing holyfield relentlessly chasing down michael dokes over 10 furious frenetic rounds.
I agree on two or three things about your response comment,s slash message slash comment streamer. Mike absolutely the best at that time no one just stood a chance could just about beat everybody around or just about everything alive!!!! But just about one person I and everybody with boxing knowledge and boxing true fighter analysis or just knowing how styles play out only evander the real deal holyfield could really beat mike tyson at anytime is the real deal although he would still be a size able under dog at anytime they faced
mike wasn't moving like that when he fought buster.I can tell he was not ready to fight
That's the first thing i thought while watching this fight.
He had sex before the fight. It drained all of his energy.
The last of the dominance of Mike Tyson, when he left Kevin Rooney that was the end of his reign as champion. Don King got into his head & ruin him. As far as Carl Williams, if this fight went any further he would’ve been destroyed
100% correct. After Tyson destroyed Spinks in 20seconds he fired Kevin Rooney and that was the beginning of the end for Iron Mike. He ultimately lost shamefully against Douglas coming in looking for a quick knock out.
True ... If you listen Mike said he only trained for 2 weeks for the fight. He begin to take his craft for granted and not continue to evolve as a fighter. I don't think he trained at all for the Buster Douglas fight. Total lack of discipline and focus. It's like he started thinking all he had to do was show up. That's how good he was. Ultimately that was his down fall.
Thanks!!
Love the boxing specials on HBo back in the day. Great presentation
Great upload thankyou
Carl just had no defense against a good left hook. Tyson put him down with it. So did Weaver. And Jesse Ferguson. And Quick Tillis. The only reason Williams fought Holmes so brilliantly is because Holmes had no left hook.
Morrison also floored him with a left in their fight. If Williams had a better chin he could of gone much further.
When Cus A'Damato and Jimmy Jacobs die, that was the beginning of the end Mike. Then the firing of Kevin Rooney was the last part of the Cus regime, after that it was down hill. Hey, not everybody take the road less travel, when each person come to that point in life.
CARL WILLIAMS was the same man that gave a close 15 rd War to LARRY HOLMES, that many people thought CARL won . But against MIKE TYSON many people call CARL WILLIAMS a "BUM" !!!! LMAO
Tyson was one of the sensational boxer .
Interesting foreshadowing, as Larry Merchant asks Tyson what he thinks of Buster Douglas as a future opponent...
Gotta love mike Tyson ending the interview not Larry merchant
Back in the day before pay per view thievery.
EXACTLY!
Pay per view has destroyed popularity of boxing .
@@michaelclayton3114 when Ali was fighting 90 million plus views in the states alone😩now one million in a big achievement 😂
Pay per view was going on when Tyson fought Spinks
@@ryanharris837 yes but it was only close circuit (cinemas,bars etc) not like it is today I believe
The last time we’d see Tyson as the Tyson we came to expect. I love Mike. Can’t even watch the Douglas fight.
You could even see the softness of Mike’s body by the time he fought Douglas. He hadn’t been training as he would’ve under Rooney’s tutelage.
@@johnruggiero4205 excuses 😴 He got spanked. Too bad Evander did get to do that first
@@johnruggiero4205 , two weeks before the Douglas fight, Tyson weighed 240 pounds. Then he did a crash diet and got down to 220.5 pounds, but was unfit.

Excuses excuses
oh my good god what a left hook
Carl Williams was out on his feet. Master Class in saving the Fighter by The Referee.
Early stoppage. Williams was alert and able to continue.
Amazing to think 7 months later he would be beaten by Buster Douglas .
Obliterated
Ya Don King gave him 100,000$...then took 5 million shortly after.
100k was just for the knock out the money HBO pays him for the fight is around 10 15 mil
your the man love your channel
Tyson was surrounded with a bunch of yes men. Men who didn't tell Tyson what he should do, but instead let Tyson do what he wanted to do.
Getting rid of Rooney was one of the dumbest moves he could have made. Well perhaps behind ever marrying Robin Givens and allowing that snake Don King to handle his affairs.
Yeah personal choices and getting everything that you want with your 100 millions of dollars. Isn’t on anybody else
That’s on mike.
Free will only applies to tyson and it’s everyone else’s fault.
That’s why he’s not a great. He wasn’t mentally tough enough compared to other greats
Fans blame people around mike who hires everyone and it’s everyone’s fault that mike was out of his prime at 22-23 which is ridiculous
May as well say nobody could beat mike under cus age 15-19
Highlight videos and no perspective is a crazy thing
@@oldironsides4107 what do you expect from a guy who lived in the ghetto since he was a child, surrounded by friends whom were drug dealears and pimps at 10 years old?? Of course that kind of environment affects you later in life...
The Truth was a solid boxer, he did beat Holmes! great Jab! He is for sure a boxer that you could never take him lightly, ever!
Rip The Truth.
Yeah he beat Holmes. Let the whole world know that man deserved to be champion of the world, if only for a few months.
No he didn't was close fight maybe coming down to last round which Holmes won .
His hands were never up as he said during Larry's interview. good stoppage
Yes they were. Why even argue
Randy Newman is a shitty ref this was his first title fight. And he’s asking questions. And wants a response to something you can’t hear
The standard is out your hand up and walk forward. Not recite the alphabet backwards or whatever question he asked
It’s are your ok? Do you want to fight. Which he would be able to hear but he’s been there many times so put his hands up and was ready
They’re saying you want to beat tyson by fleeing. In this interview everybody whooped tyson but not fleeing and fighting him and he quits.
@@oldironsides4107 You're supposed to put your hands up. Show us where he did that?
Had the ref let it go on and Williams got hurt, the ref would have got blasted for letting it go on.
Carl Williams: the angel of death for both Larry Holmes and Mike Tyson
That's scary as hell dude
+Cassy Alexandre Huh? What does that mean? Both Tyson AND Holmes whooped his ass! What are you talking about "angel of death?"
+Paa Kaber Khamem Zazan Its easy to see what he meant by that. Carl Williams got whooped by Larry Holmes and Mike Tyson, but, both Mike and Larry lost first time immediatly after their fight against Carl Williams
@@MrPCpelaaja ,,,,,,,,, HUH ???, WTF you mean "Carl got whopped by Larry Holmes" !!!???……….. CARL WILLIAMS got ROBBED against HOLMES, because that was a very close and tough 15 rd fight that many people thought WILLIAMS won
@@paakaberkhamemzazan5439 carl williams beat tf outta holmes
Thank you so much for your video which warns people that the downfall begins when people lose their initial belief and that sacking Rooney was a mistake.
RIP Carl 'The Truth' Williams.For me, Mike is the 9th best heavy of all time.
I also think that, I'd definitely put him in top 10 heavyweights of all time but not higher than 8th or 9th place.
Tysons Team of Clowns under King was shocking. All yes men without the knowledge. This was the last fight the Tyson we all knew and loved to fear truly was King of the Ring.
28:30 is that a cockroach coming towards Tyson's right foot. He knocked down Carl and killed the roach in one move impressive
why the fck didnt he stay with his original trainers? sam ehappened to Tua, went with Don King, it was downhill from there. Stick with what makes you win. Never change that sht.
I was 18 years old watching this fight with my family. I wanted Williams to win this fight so bad!! I lost $10 to my cousin thanks to a smashing left hook!
😂😂😂😂😂
rip carl
+Bobby Razak Huh?! Truth is dead?
Yes sir he died I think a year ago
Yea. I just found out. He died from cancer two years ago. He was working at WTC in Manhattan 9/11/2001. So it must have been the dust inhalation that caused it. A lot of people who were at ground zero and survived are dying these days from all the dust consumption.
+Paa Kaber Khamem Zazan ...........Another innocent victim of Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld.......
Mercy stoppage.
The referee explains himself well.
The best one punch KO in boxing history
First Tyson hits him with a massive shot then headbutts him on the way down Nice
😂😂😂😂
Not only do you start to see Mike’s skills change around this time, but you also start to see his personality change. He became less humble than his earlier interviews and started turning into the “eat your children” guy once Rooney was gone and Don King took over.
Yes,Tyson lost so much so fast when he went with Con"the scumbag"King.it was immediately that he wasn't the same fighter, wasn't as nice,ran around doing whatever he wanted with nobody that really cared about him to help keep him out of trouble.Rooney and that team Tyson cared and loved him.they watched over him and knew how to properly train him.Con hired people with little to no real experience training boxers especially the heavyweight champ.sad because we lost what would have been the greatest career ever from what was going to be the greatest ever,to me he is but it would have been set in stone had he kept away from these nobodies,bunch of losers ran by the biggest scumbag ever Con King
Jay Bright didn't know shit.just because he stood around watching Tyson grow to be a champion,he thought he was a real trainer lol,what a douchbag
@@user-em9ln8nc9fyou're right. Even his entourage in this video admit it?
Only had one fight in 1989 sad truth of his downfall
Only one?
Its crazy that they were making a big deal out of this. When the ref asked him if he was OK, he didn't say anything. But I seen right as it happened when the ref asked that question his eyes were closed and when he opened up his eyes he gave a real subtle head shake no. And you can really see it when they showed it in slow motion. He didn't want to fight anymore but he also didn't want to look like he was a quitter. So when the ref said it was over of course he's going to protest. He didn't have to even shake his head watch the look he gave the ref right before he shook his head. Lol he was looking at the ref like do I really have to shake my head. Like yo ref I wanna go home. Stop the thing. Lol
Well i guess it just added to Program. I watched it live on HBO, 1984 at 15-0 Carl Williams beat Quick Tillis and at 16-0 lost close decision to 47-0 Holmes (in Holmes last consecutive victory as he went 48-0 and lost to Spinks) Williams stopped 13-0 Jesse Ferguson, and would get kayoed by Mike Weaver. Williams then stopped 16-1 Bert Cooper (who later became first to drop Evander in title match) and would beat Trevor Berbick and be 22-2 going into Tyson fight, which shows you how good and devastating Mike was.
I wonder what would have happened to Biggs if he didn't fight Tyson that soon
Later he admitted he had a concussion.
No way!!! he gave the same Larry Holmes "head shrug" like he was just shaking off the hit. He wasnt saying "no judge"....he was able to keep going. Stopped way too short.
Agreed. Fighters protesting a stoppage are just trying to act tough after the fact. You can see that he's out on his feet.
Plus, if the fight had continued, he would have been destroyed again in the next 20 seconds. It's not like it was a close fight or anything.
*That was a great explanation by the ref*
A bad decision by a referee that's usually pretty good. Williams was clearly not hurt that bad, but I think he made a little gesture that the referee mistook and used as a basis for stopping the fight. When Williams is up and the ref is counting, Williams shook his head very briefly, the way someone does to wake themselves or to 'shake off' a shot to the head. Exactly at the time Williams made that little gesture, the referee made his call to end the fight. Williams was more or less shaking his head as if to say, 'wow, that was a good shot', but he wasn't hurt very badly.
+MrMarco855 The ref should have been smart enough to realize that.
I think he could have continued. He was hurt but not finished. The ref jumped the gun.
wareagle853 I'm pretty sure that's right.........
Exactly! Been watching this fight for years and saw what you saw, but could never articulate it quite right. Randy Newman made a rash decision. He should have given himself a second or two more to assess if williams was ready to fight. Refs do that all the time. Randy Newman is a good ref, but he blundered here. Plain and simple.
The crowd was roaring he’s not going to hear what he said hands up ready to go
Tyson thought Williams was a great opponent. Dismissing Holyfield as Childs play. Fought to get the Douglas fight.
Would have been special to see mike go 0-6 vs holy
The missing piece was Kevin Rooney and I am sorry that Mike didn't reconnect with the only man aside from Cus d'amato who knew how to psychologically and emotionally motivate him. Iron Mike Tyson the greatest heavy weight champion that never was 😔💔.
Yeah he kept Jay Bright , the one guy from the Catskills . Except he kept the wrong guy.
Mike isnt top 10 but he was fun to watch
@@travzimmerman1340
Lol try again.
Bro caught the hardest Tyson punch in history , that one punch sent him across the ring & i could literally hear it over everything else too!!!!
That punch was the loudest i ever heard in a boxing match , its literally the exact same sound i heard when i was a kid & i accidentally walked into a concrete telephone pole 😂
He put all 219lbs into that punch! nice try Carl lol
I like Mike Tyson attitude ,very humble, my greatest boxer of all time, im a fan of iron Mike, from Philippines💪
At the time Larry probably didn’t fully realize just how accurate he was on his opinion of how Tyson had changed, and was no longer really into the fights, like he had been previously under his original management, and before had made the huge mistake of getting tied to the boxing world’s biggest con artist “bloodsucking leech Don King” and “gold digger Robin Givens!” Because of Tyson‘s involvement with those two, his amazing boxing career was heading straight into the toilet!
Lol king ruin Tyson in just a couple of years,
Jennifer P. Yes he did!!! I thought he looked bad against Bruno.
financially yes, but mike beat himself in most instances
W Md yup it’s his fault. He chose that group so that he wouldn’t have to train hard anymore.
That punch Tyson threw was so quick smh
Larry Merchant asked Floyd Mayweather, Jr if he wanted to fight abroad and Mayweather thought he meant fight a broad.
I see this often with fighters. They get knocked down, get back up, and just stand there looking at the Ref. They're told in the dressing room: you gotta put your hands up, tell the Ref you're ok, and walk to him if necessary. It's just straight up dumb if they don't. Why leave anything to chance? Regardless of the instructions, I'd be telling the Ref "I'm OK. I want to continue." And nodding my head & hitting my gloves together.
Evander holyfield looking real dapper there.
I agree, Carls eyes weren't in the game when it was called.
The Ref made the right decision. Period!👏🏾👏🏾
If only this ref were the one doing the Buster Douglas count; Tyson might still be undefeated lol.
I don't understand why Tysons competition is so critisized....Lewis fought alot of the same fighters for example....such as tyrell Biggs,razor Ruddock,andrew golota,tony Tucker,frank bruno,frans both.nobody criticises Lewis,..it's only when Tyson fights them.is when.they get critisized.....also holyfield fought alot of the same fighters too.such as Henry Tillman,old Holmes,alex Stewart,frans Botha,lou savarese.pinklon Thomas.james quick Tillis.nobody criticises holyfield.its only when they fight Tyson.do they get criticised
Larry is hilarious with that Don King comment. And Tyson is hilarious, "my church could use that money". How did Don King know to say the church name so fast..lmao
His downfall is that he became a Muslim
This was IRON Mike Tyson here. Why didn't he just go right into the fight with Evander Holyfield next instead of facing James Buster Douglas. He didn't need a warm up fight before Holyfield. That is ridiculous. They could've fought in November 1989. That really is too bad for Tyson. Everything would've been different had he kept Kevin Rooney. Sad man. I guess it was all meant to be...🥊🥊
Sterling you are the best! If I win the lottery I'll buy all your tapes or copy them for me LMAO!!
90 seconds in...CRACK!! The whole arena heard that. One punch, first round, #1 challenger. Rare.
Williams wasn’t the number one challenger.
This is a great example of Tyson’s fights as he brought in so much money to boxing
Tell me examples of a guy getting warned for a clinch when it’s both guys
You can see he’s ready to go.
Watch Tyson’s full fights not highlights.
Tyson is one of my favorites but man does he get special treatment. From a warning of a natural clinch writhing 30 seconds.

Team Tyson? More like Team Hacks. That "team" died when they forced out Rooney and eventually Cayton. These wanna be clowns and Don King were leeches and destroyed Mike's career. These idiots are "learning on the job" and learning what they need to learn about boxing from DON KING!? Hacks and Amateurs.
Lannis couldn't have put in better words, You said it? I think when Tyson skills deminised so did Boxing it wasen't the same this guy was a diffrent level 👌
HAHA , Tyson said that King wouldn't even know how to lace a boxing glove . Oh well , he only had himself to blame
Man, I forgot how short this fight was! 😳
The post-fight interview showed a change in Tyson's attitude. It bit him back in the next fight.
Tyson's next fight was a shining example of the adage, "pride comes before the fall".
Training is not everything in boxing as you can see here, Mike Tyson was in southpaw position when he landed that knock out punch. Something that most people never even notice.
That was a good stoppage. Tyson would have hurt him worse otherwise.
I think a lot of people forget that Tyson was scheduled to fight Donavan Rudduck before Douglas in September 1989, but the fight got called off.
Who was mike going at in the crowd
Let’s be honest Carl didn’t want no more smoke from Mike
The HBO intro music always popped
Carl didn't put his hands up to show he was ready to fight like he said he did in the immediate post fight interview, another sign that he was out of it. He truly believed he did, it's on film so it would have been pointless to purposely lie.
His clock was cleaned so he probably imagined it
That’s not true. He’s ready to go. Probably wouldn’t have mattered but you never know.
Tyson never beat anybody who didn’t wilt and quit from Mitch greeen and Tony tucker ( before this fight. To Holyfield Lennox Williams and McBride.
Evaluate all fighters the same way you do tyson. Everyone is unbeatable until they hit age 23.
Ryan Garcia tank Davis. BENAVIDEZ. All washed up in there mid 20s
Ryan Garcia was dropped against luke campbell. He’s out of his prime. He was 22-23.
He’s the goat he’s squashing everyone.
The funny thing is Garcia has won a fight and came back from adversity tyson is 0-6
If the referee a judges him as any other fighter and not special treatment he would have been 0-11
But mike was handled with kid gloves. Breaking arms. Jumping headbutts. Knocking Norris out after the bell sounded. Splattering an old referee as tyson wouldn’t engage.
Even tyson older fight where he’s mid 30s. Which tyson is judged as a geriatric. But great today. Somehow.
Watch how Lennox was treated getting points taken away for mike clinching and doing nothing.
The Danny Williams fight is hilarious. The ref is tryin to dq Williams for hitting mikes body. But mike ended up just quitting before the ref could call the third point deduction
Botha. Trying to break his arm. Repeatedly. Corners had to rush in. And prevent it along with security.
Floyd and zab was similar. Floyd hit zab low. Roger ran in and attacked a fighter and corner. That’s an auntomatic dq.
It would be like going over the rules and you spark out a trainer.
But Floyd as mike were the biggest draws and had soecial privilege
Tyson was the greatest attacking fighter of all times....he hit equally as hard with both hands....was quicker than most fighter...and was a fast starter with no reguard to what's coming his way...awesome No1
Post fight Holyfield just standing there with that "I know I can kick this guy's ass" look on his face.
Carl was a great fighter and former world champion, he was completely out of it and was shaking his head at the 9 count and could not answer the reff. There is no controversy it was a clean shot, that dropped and folded Williams. On of the best slip and left hook knock outs of all time! Long live Iron Mike Tyson...The most exciting and Dominant champ in history! When he was on his game he was truly sensational!
He was great, but there's no way he was the most dominant champion in history. 9 title defenses is a lot, but Joe Louis had 25.
@jeremyseaton4898 Joe Louis didn't fight anyone brother..he fought in possibly the 2nd weakest Era of all time..he title defenses streak that you mentioned was literally called the bum of the month club...Tyson would have ran through a Louis like a hot knife through butter...having the most title defenses doesn't make him the best...Larry had 19 or 20, Holyfield only had 3 consecutive Ali's best stretch was 10, Frazier 9, foreman only had 2, Lennox had 9, and Mike was actually 10-0 in title fights with 9 consecutive and was also 12-1 in title fights before his 2nd loss. Mike definitely had the most Dominant 3 year stretch of any of those top dogs as I mentioned...Louis is the 6th or 7th best all time and I have Mike at #3
Let’s not kid ourselves. This team Tyson 2 was nothing short of an unmitigated disaster. To put it mildly.
That 100k was separate of the salary he already gets from HBO
The punch that was heard around the world.
Watching the replay straight on.... He did look out of it and when the ref asks him after you OK... Williams DIDN'T put his hands up like he said he did.... If anything he shrugs his head and almost looks like he shakes his head saying no...
I remember watching this live
Carl “ Truth” Williams was heisted with that bogus stoppage . Maybe Williams regains his composure and makes a fight of it, maybe Tyson stills ends it early . That gentleman still deserved a chance to continue.
Should not have stopped it. The fighters at this level shouldn’t have to do a song and dance to convince the ref that they’re able to continue on. Refs at this level should know the fighter, and rather than looking for evidence that they’re unable to continue in such an important fight, look for evidence instead that they are able to continue. He got up in time he was not wobbling he had his hands up, corner was not concerned. It was enough to let it go on, especially it being the 1st round of a heavyweight championship fight.
