Tyson would become the youngest heavyweight champion in history as he captured the WBC title with a 2nd round TKO of Berbick. - Спорт
This is when HBO was everything in boxing. Iron mike dedicating the fight to Cus was so monumental. 7 years from meeting Cus, Mike is the youngest heavy weight champ
No kidding???????
WASNT even legally able to drink! Toughest teenager of all time NO DOUBT!
I believe that some of our grandads that HAD to work on farms on the docks and in the mines instead of going to school during The Depression as teens and in many cases as preteens are the tough guys.
What about all the kids who took up arms, some without any training or rifles, to fight for their respective countries against the Axis?
Tyson was 20 here
George Foreman was Knocking out Grown men at 14
@@kevinmunday6263yea cause he was a grown man at 14
Nobody was stopping Mike Tyson on that night!
On this night Tyson beats Ali, Fury, Foreman, Klitschko, anyone. Same with the night he fought spinks. Tyson beats anyone that night. With cus not Kevin.. he beats everyone.
@ Gypsy King if Tyson had stayed with Rooney, Tyson retires undefeated. The best ever!🥊🥊
@@kriskalbfleisch5020
On this night Mike wasn't ready for Muhammad Ali. Not Ali, no.
@@truthhitman7473 I believe that the Tyson who fought Tucker for 12 rounds in August 1987 would give ali problems. Tyson vs Tucker was his best performance in my opinion, Tucker waa 34-0-0, went 12 rounds with lennox lewis gave him a war too
FACTS!
One of the greatest intros to a big time fight of all time. I’ve watched it a hundred times and I still get chills and tears in my eyes.
who sings this song and the title
@@Chosen.1296 I’ll be over you by Toto
I loved how HBO (and showtime) put music to the beginning and ends of their broadcasts. The Holyfield Dokes beginning is really good too.
Me too. THis is why HBO set the standard for televising live fight.
Cringe intro
On this day, 36 years ago, Mike Tyson became the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, the youngest to ever do so at his best. He was one of the most physically, talented, heavy weights to ever exist. It is a shame that, in a lot of ways, he beat himself by not remaining fully dedicated to the sport of boxing.
Mike became Heavyweight champ August 1st 1987!
Undisputed? He won the WBC title!
@@TheBankofJosh thanks for the correction excuse my typo it’s all political anyway one sanctioning bodies belt is just the same as another it’s all based on money that they claim to be nonprofit organizations how is that
@@wolfen337 I know that now one sanctioning is just as corrupt as the next it is all based on money and yet they claim to be nonprofit organizations how it’s all politics
Well said.
Mike Tyson=The Young Champ...
I love that introduction showcasing our feelings for the savior of the heavyweight division. It fit perfectly. Mike Tyson - youngest heavyweight champion of all time.
Post fight interview, Don King lurking all down hill from there
was coming to write the same thing
@Ian Ford he died of cancer dude! king was just an opportunist in the right place right time but he defo manipulated mike for years and brainwashed an impressionable kid who just happen to be the baddest man on the planet
His laugh is just too uncanny,he's a pantomime a meme,not human.
"AHH,HA HA HA HA" Have you ever heard such a cackal,it's like if someone impersonated him you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two,he's an exaggerated caracature of himself 🤣😂
Cus would’ve hogtide donny boy the first time he saw him slithering up like a snake that he was. Sure wish that cus would’ve been able to live through the Tyson era and be there to make sure Tyson and cuss got thier gold at the end of the rainbow that they deserved.
What a Scumbag!
Often overlooked is how charismatic Tyson was and still is. That's why he never was out of the news. I would say he equals Ali in that respect.
there's people who are extremely fortunate to grow up watching JOE LOUIS, ROCKY MARCIANO, & MUHAMAD ALI whole careers .
As for me, i was fortunate to grow up watching IRON MIKE TYSON's whole career., from the GOOD, THE GREAT, THE BAD & THE UGLY.
I was 14 years old in 1985 when i first discovered TYSON, and i became an official FAN and watched his whole pro career from 1985, all the way to his last fight in 2005 .
And it was an extremely EXCITING 20 year EXPERIENCE indeed
I used to see Trevor Berbick training at my gym all of the time when I was a Kid. I've had a few conversations with him. I can tell you he was 100 % bat shit crazy... R.I.P Trevor
How did he trained ?
@@emirhancagtay4312 He was way past his prime when I used to see him. But he didn't seem to train very hard back them.
@@thestonedsailor6072 do you think That Mike Tyson was the best heavyweight of all time in his prime
@@emirhancagtay4312 yes
@@thestonedsailor6072 "Crazy" how so?
Intro is beautiful. watch it at least once a week
as the years passed, and the longer Mike went w/o Cus he became more and more unstable. Cus lives 5 more years? Mike goes 49-0 within that 5 years. No prison, no unraveling. Just a pure boxing hero.
And most importantly no don snake king and robin rob’em givins because Cuz would have unleashed Hell on those vipers.
Definitely!!
yeah, we will never know how good tyson really was.
from 86-89 he was unstoppable.
then it all collapsed in the 90s.
mike tyson is boxing's guns n roses.
He was barely 20 only 4 months in could have been 19 lol jeez
Don’t let anyone ever tell you that you’ve never seen a guy get knocked down three times from one punch. That shot to the temple actually looks a lot like the punch that ended Spinks’ night early, too.
Man, tyson in his prime was something else.. his hand speed is incredible for a heavyweight
Don King just lurking in the background looking like a devilish troll kid!!!
Very rare footage. The HBO version of the berbick fight
mein gott
There's HBO and ....no one else.
HBO Boxing will NEVER be replicated.
Although the opening song is NOT what a 20 year old Tyson would be listening to.
I mean, in '86? What, probably De La Soul or something....maybe Al B. Sure LOL
What a beautiful song they picked to start the HBO program. IRON Mike Tyson!!!❤🥊🥊
Great opening introduction
@Ian Ford Stay strong ❤️🙏
Some people live their dreams............
The HBO World Championship Boxing was best known for The Heavyweight Division of Boxing in Majority!
I feel bad for Mike. If Cus would've lived another 10 year Mike wouldn't have had the issues he did.
5 years would've been enough. The trouble really started to escalate around 1988 between the Robin Givens relationship and firing Kevin Rooney because Don King talked him into it, combined with Jimmy Jacobs dying. Jimmy Jacobs dying is an underrated event in Mike's downfall because his death left a vacuum, giving Don King the opportunity to swoop in.
@@lucashenderson2775 Couldn't have said it better
@@Gjon777 I read somewhere that while Don has had connections if you know what I mean, so did Jimmy (allegedly), which would definitely explain why he was lurking but waited until Jimmy was gone to get to Mike. Jimmy would've never allowed him to fire Kevin Rooney for starters.
@@lucashenderson2775 That reptillian snake King saw Tyson as his next cash-cow with this title win. Managers Jacobs and Cayton were in the way. Later with Jacobs out of the picture (conveniently) he teamed up with Givens to push Cayton out and gained full control in '88. Starting here he was corrupting Mike with riches, booze and women, willingly indulged in. Mike got soft and Rooney became exasperated and left. In his memoir he said he actually wanted him to stay but I think Rooney was tired of King's machinations and the swarming of idiots and corrupting influences. Like it's been said, if Cus lived for 5 more years, he would have kept the vultures away without a doubt, he was incredibly wise battling the mob in the '50s. Mike could have gone down as the Greatest.
When he let Don King in,he also let the DEVIL IN. They are thrives. Mike was a child doing grown things in boxing,but with God AND cus.he could not loose.
My favourite fight of all time!!
This brother never stood a chance against a prime Mike tyson,
He did it for Ali....Berbeck beat Ali worse then Larry did....the true passing of the torch
I don't agree. Holmes beat him worse.
@@JoeBallard1979 The Berbick fight was close
@@joesoto690 Nah Holmes held back and was asking for the fight to be stopped since the early rounds. He really was Ali's friend and the reason he fought in the first place is bc Ali himself convinced him. What happened with Berbick was entirely different.
Tyson made this man look weak but Trevor was a good fighter with good tools. Would be better than many top HW today.
The greatest fighters are the guys who make good boxers look terrible.
Tomata can
@@JonBeenHereDoingit1423 u yes
Tyson with Rooney in his side is the GOAT
Not quite
I love this song when mike tyson is going to win the WBC and this song is his introduction.
The most formidable boxer ever he was at one time the baddest man on the planet
He still is
Izu Okoko no he’s not
He gave us a flash of about 5 years unparalleled in any of our lives
He didn't beat anyone though and there were a few just as formidable fella, Foreman, Liston and Louis for example.
Holyfield faced and beat far better competition his whole career.
@@izuokoko7345 How does that work ??
It was so sad to hear that Berbick had been shot and retirement. Very sad. RIP
By his own nephew
@@ricardoricochet3021 Do you know the story?
@@peaceful_warrior7627Land dispute inheritance in his home country
Berbick fought toe to toe against Tyson in his "prime" - and anyone can see how strong and powerful Berbick looks. Tyson commented after the fight about how surprised he was about Berbick's strength - something like, "he was as strong as me!" so, given that Berbick went toe to toe against prime Tyson, you've gotta give him credit. he fought against his game plan, trying to prove his manhood. No one without moving around that ring (and basically running, for some of them) could survive. I don't think of anyone going toe to toe and surviving to go to a decision before this fight occurred. Ribalta fought awesome but had to move constantly.
yep, i get sick of people saying tyson only won because people ran from him, yeah bullshit, i can think of heaps of fighters that went right at tyson ie tillis, ruddock, tucker, gross, berbick, thomas - all those guys went in throwing bombs
Berbick was one of the most durable fighters and had clubbing heavy rib breaking punches I think if he held back and took his time and jabbed it may of been different
Berbick was powerful because he got he’s strength from God
Berbick didn't go toe to toe in any capable way and did not look strong at all. Tyson said what he did out of just being humble and happy that he won.
Berbick was terrified like every other person who got knocked out by tyson, and couldn't even preform right. He had given up in his head before the fight even started and his face said it all. He almost got knocked out in the first round. Shavers, Foreman, Lyle, they all would have gone toe to toe with Tyson far beyond anything we saw when Tyson was in his prime
I have been looking for this vid for years
one more thing - Berbick only started to box at age 23. I think he was 32 in this fight. Tyson started to box around 12, and was 19 when he won. Starting at such a young age, and having full, daily access to the gym w/famous trainers and managers must have been an enormous advantage. Berbick was an old man when he fought Tyson. Think of how we all felt when we were like 20 versus 30. It's totally different
Lame excuses
If Mike would had stayed focused and kept the team that he had, he would have retired undefeated.
I lovehow mike used his jab to get close then throw the hook and it worked he hit berbick a ton with the hook
Berbick stepped in against two guys - Page and Thomas - Larry Holmes was all too happy to avoid. Give him his respect.
Hell yea. Look at the way he kept trying to get up after Tyson knocked him tf out. Respect.
Wtf are you talking about? Larry fought a prime Berbick. And Trevor lost 11 of 14 rds. In April 1981 Holmes 9th defense. First that went the distance.
@@juangarcia-ml1by tyson destroyed both without any effort lel
No matter what happens, the work has to be done.
Beautiful melodic music accompanies mike crushing skulls, nice
Yes, very appropriate???
strength determination to win it's all psychological. ..
The best ever!
great review
Agreed
I've seen this fight a thousand times and have never watched the post fight interview with Berbick... haha. Seems like a good dude.... he was fucking rocked still I think.. glad I saw that part.
44:12.....look at the obvious affection Tyson had for Rooney and his team. Only they know why things went sour and King took over......but we were robbed of being able to witness a Mike Tyson at his absolute best. Just a damn shame that so many assholes (and gold digging bitches) swarmed him and tugged the guy in every direction 24/7.
Would have been so fun to see a Mike Tyson without all the drama and negativity that took over his life.....who knows how good the guy would have been.
Having said all that......the man he is today is inspirational.
It's so sad because all the bad hands he was dealt as a child to finally find solice in his adopted father Cus D'Amato. Then after Cus's death he had Andy Rooney to propell him to the finish line. Had he never got with Robin Givens, had he continued to train and fight more often as champion, and had he stayed clean off the drugs and partying he could have dominated the early 90s like he did in the late 80's. I think Holyfeild and Lewis would have still beaten him but it would have been a more competitive match up. I am very curious how he would fair against Bowe or the Klitchco Brothers too. As for the modern Era 2000s heavyweights he would have demolished them.
What a life! Imagine if all our problems, issues and or mistakes were exposed for the world to see and comment upon. I couldn't handle that. I guess he handled it the best he could. He got knocked out and came back strong every time. Grew into a great man. So glad he is happy now.❤❤❤
Great video
I LOVE MIKE TYSON 🥊❤️💪👊
Everyone loves Tyson
It’s something to see a 33 year old world champion obviously in fear of a 20 year old. Of course, that 20 year old was prime & most viscous Mike Tyson! He was a beast during the years he was with his original team from Catskill. Best ever over that 5 year period.
Say what you will, Mike is my favorite
This fight took place on the 23rd anniversary of JFK’s assassination.
I didn't know that, interesting fact. Wonder if the person setting this fight up knew that
Well Tyson was an assassin this night for good measure!
Murdered by the government!
Tyson fights first round is the last tyson try to ko tem out so fast i love that
Tyson show de boxm.foi um dos melhores....parabéns
Facts
After the fight you can tell Kevin Rooney didn’t want Don King near Mike!
Tim Witherspoon and Tony Tubbs were supposed to have a rematch in December 1986? i didn't know that. Talk about forgotten history.
I wonder if Mike hated certain opponents. In this fight he kinda let Trevor just fall after the lunch but in some other ones he was damn near swinging while the opponent was falling lol
Mike said he wanted to kill Berbick because Berbick beat up an old Ali unnecessarily.
The intro caught me off guard and gave me a new appreciation for Trevor Berbick. A champion serving in his community church and at prison. What an example. TV used to have class and used to be wholesome. Sad to see nowadays anything spiritual or religious is looked down upon. Thank you for sharing this. 👏🏼 Great Fight!
Tyson fought perfectly. I LOLed at how he marveled at how strong Berbick was. 😂😂
In an interview from the djvlad channel, Mike said he was ready and eager to fuck up Trevor for what he did to Ali, Mike's idol.
A classic
always always the best ever
Tyson ist einfach ein Monster
Does anyone know where I can find the the "intro" song HBO always used? the one midway playing at 2:33
Mashta Demanto, RIP, and tyson made the mashta's work look brutally easy. How tyson used the angles "domanto shift"
Sheesh, that guy with the blue hat and glasses near the end is a real camera hogger!
November is Native American Heritage Month: We’re celebrating by honoring a number of figures who have blazed a trail for the Native American community.
Wes Studi of the Cherokee Nation has won acclaim for his authentic, empathetic, & moving performances in classic films like ‘Dances With Wolves’ & ‘The Last of the Mohicans.’ In 2019, he received an honorary lifetime Academy Award, making him the second Indigenous actor to receive an Oscar. As a young man, Studi served in Vietnam and became involved in Native American activism prior to his foray into acting. Studi entered the movies later in life - after the age of 40 - and credited his late start with helping to inform his performances. ‘Life has served me well,’ Studi said in his Academy acceptance speech. ‘I can connect with characters I play simply by referencing real life.’
This was the begining of the end for tyson becouse this is were don king knew what he had
Tyson lived up to the hype on this night
Best tyson on that night in my opinion
The first uppercut he landed in the video would kill a normal human being
For a 5"10 who would have knocked fuck out of any heavyweight around now, AJ and he just wouldn't have beaten him with science and size is absolutely BS
The opening music.😄
35 years ago tonight
"where is the F#&*&^% sponge"
When I want to laugh i always go back to that clip 😂😂!!
Mike Tyson IS the GOAT!
Ninguém poderia vencer o Tyson nessa época!
At 48:32 Berbeck: "was it the second round?" That shows you how vicious the punches were by "Iron" Mike. Classy interview overall by Berbick. He seemed like an honest guy who just happened to be champion at the wrooong time.
RIP 🙏 mills lane
43:51 KEVIN ROONEY. All IRON Mike Tyson had to do was keep Rooney as his trainer. Retires the best ever. But the man behind Tyson there, Don King, ruined that part.
RIP 🙏trevor berbick
Tyson weighed more than Berbick here? wow Berbick sure looks bigger all the way around
Рождение самого молодого чемпиона мира в истории бокса, восхищаюсь Майком.
You Go Boy! ....Sing That Song....HaHaHaHa
I've read both of Mike's books - Undisputed Truth, his memoir, and Iron Ambition - My Life with Cus D'Amato, which is also a full biography of Cus. I have to say, if Cus stayed alive for 5 more years I firmly believe Mike would have reigned for ten years. He would have kept him sheltered, on the straight and narrow and completely brainwashed (in a good way). Those snakes absolutely ruined Mike's prime. Surrounded by idiots, he got soft with riches, booze and women.
Да дури у майка было писец, как он его отметелил!!! Настоящий 🏆
Butch lewis was keeping a close eye on tyson.
I met him in Atlantic City at Tyson vs. Holmes. He seemed to be a decent guy.
We all agree had Cus D'Amato not died in November 1985 and had lived a little bit longer, Tyson's life would not have unraveled the way it did including the firing of Kevin Rooney. Everything would've been different. What is underestimated and not talked about alot is Jimmy Jacobs death. Tyson and Jacobs were very close. Jimmy was like a big brother to Mike. Had Jacobs lived a little bit longer as well the same applies to him on his influence in Tyson's life. But as sad as it is it wasn't meant to be. Such is life.🥊🙏🏻
Chuck Hull best ring announcer ever
Larry always got on my nerves. Why make a comment on it being Ali's fourth wife? I know it's a fact, but it's unnecessary. Just say she's his wife.
No wonder Tyson left HBO cause of Merchant
Hyojoo Song you absolutely right as soon as I heard it I thought wtf man who would say something like that what a ignorant fool! Pissed me off such disrespect that too on live tv at the time!
True and also bull about Mike not facing any top heavyweights yet,he fought capable experienced heavyweights like James Quick Tillis and Jose Ribalta,knocked out Marvis Frazier in about 20 seconds,and Frazier had been the distance with top heavyweights like bone crusher Smith. Also Mike fought Mitch Green, considered a top heavyweight at the time.
You can umm and AHH at the fighters I've named but they were credible debatable fighters and you can't deny Tillis wasn't a top heavyweight at the time and at his very best against Tyson who gave him a very close fight that could have gone either way,so,Tyson was more experienced than Merchant claims,with the smile and fake boxing knowledge,I find him irritating at times,when has he been inside a boxing ring to fight or even gym to spar.smh.
@@rpgman6464 Too right 👍
@@paulanthony5274 Agreed, Tyson had plenty of credible opponents. He was a victim of his own dominance. Biggs was an Olympic Gold Medalist that beat Lennox in the amateurs, Pinklon Thomas was a very technical boxer with a brilliant jab, Razor Ruddock, Tony Tucker, Alex Stewart (who gave Holyfield a hell of a fight). These are all good fighters that could have become world champions if they weren't already.
A bad KO loss is devastating for a fighter's career because it not only damages their self belief but also any aura of intimidation that they may have carried prior to being demolished.
Tyson made good fighters like Biggs, Pinklan, and Stewart look terrible. That was a big part of why so many call him overrated.
@@paulanthony5274 haters gon hate
RIP Trevor Berbick.
So many what ifs in his career
But let's be thankful for what he did provide, 3 years of first class entertainment as maybe the most exciting boxer ever
We can second guess him all night for the poor decisions he made but I prefer to remember his prime, which burned out much too soon
And to be frank if he avoided the poor decisions he probably would have retired at 25 before having to fight Lewis, Bowe, or Holyfield and gone full time into promotions
After Spinks he probably only world have fought 3-5 times, his last fights are probably against some combination of Bruno, Williams, Stewart, Douglas, Mercer, Morrison, and McCall before calling it quits
Knocked the guy down 3 times with one punch now that's impressive
This Trevor Berbick got some good shots in. (32:52) even though he didn't last very long.
THAT SONG IN THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL .
Whats the name of the song ???...... And who was the SINGER who made it ??
I’ll be over you - toto
@@desertu1967 THANK YOU BUDDY
44:24 ouch!
Referee mills lane said that let's get it on
It wasn't a contest. It was a coronation. 😊
Trevor berbick found out that God does not intervene in prize fights. It's protect yourself at all times.
😂😂 God took a break and watched 2
Exactly why would God help one fighter over the other? This is so beneath the Glory and Morals of God.
At .27 to .28 seconds if berbick connected with that hook mike would have been hurting wow that was fast how did mike even see that coming?
Le plus beau combat de Mike tyson ca reste mon avis
According to Teddy Atlas, Mike celebrated that night after the fight by mugging an old lady
Wtf is that 80’s ballot music?! How dare u!
1min 57 secs into the first right hook left hook by tyson... at this point berbick knew he was the hunted ...
