Yes sir, I remember back in the day my older brothers friends rented a pay per view, 1st round knockout, haha they were pissed. Prime Tyson was a bulldog, ridiculous
What people don't understand about Tyson is how technically good he was. Yes he had hands like anvils, yes he was lightning quick, but he was also one of the best technical fighters the boxing world has ever seen. His style was a straight artists playlist of the best in history from Marciano to Ali. And pre Don King he was actually very chill.
People who know Tyson and the sport have said once Tyson fired his coach KEVIN ROONEY, he was never the same, plus the death of his trainer and mentor CUS D'MATTO was also devastating!
I was a kid when Tyson started. There’s been nothing like the spectacle that was Tyson in his prime. His place in boxing history has many opinions but to see it in person was like seeing Jordan in real time. Will never be duplicated.
@@makhtar6029 Real shame about Tyson's age and health situation. *Even so I got $100.00 that says you don't have the stones to say that crap to his face. Makhtor fake keyboard warrior tough guy.*
By the time Tyson was thirteen, local gangs used him as muscle, where he beat grown men up for money. Grown men. He had been arrested 50 times by then, and had seen or done some terrible things. He is not someone you would want to face, let alone when he was mad!
Mike could have ended this fight quick if he wanted to but he needed to punish any trash talk. Mike sent him back to the streets. and then beat his ass in the street. Great video Leo
I was a teenager during the Tyson era and it's hard to describe the mystique he had. Before his loss to Douglas, which was stunning, he was basically Superman. We didn't watch fights to see who would win, we watched to see how badly Tyson would beat them. By the time he got to Douglas, we believed he was essentially invincible. I was a little kid during Ali's later career, and I had only heard the name George Foreman. I didn't know who he was. Now I know that Tyson was essentially Foreman 2.0. Foreman had the same mystique when Ali beat him in the Rumble in the Jungle. Foreman just demolished people. He had a total of 68 knockouts compared to Tyson's 44. But Foreman was a big guy (6'3") with a long reach (78"). Tyson did it as a much smaller guy (5'10") with a 71" reach.
That's part of MMA's appeal. The tactics. Usually, a muscle-bound guy is exactly that. 'Muscle-bound'. Lousy if they're a hitter, but they need reach for impact. Get in close, tenderize abs until can strike diaphragm. Ground game bad. Will use abs. Unless tenderized. Target weak shoulder. There's always a weak shoulder. Some twisting, some leverage...
I really think the Douglas fight was a show.. People were mad paying 60 dollars on pay per view for Tyson fights.. So yeah buster may have won.. But who knows.
If you watch the fight, Tyson didn't want to knock him out. He knew he was gonna win. He just wanted to beat tf out of the dude. He was having so much fun.
I listened to an extended documentary on Tyson and how he became the best. A little known fact was that he owned his own streets, he was the guy willing to fight anyone... even someone bigger than him. But also there was hidden rage, not a chip on his shoulder, but a dark shadow that he was molested in elementary school and felt powerless, shame and disappointed in himself for doing nothing to stop it. In his pro career, he never said it, but I believe he imagines his opponent as payback and he becomes a freight train of pain. Tyson will always be a legend.
Youngest Champion EVER. I learned about Mike on a 24 Mike Tyson boxing marathon... I get chills watching this man. Grown professionals FEARED this man and you could see it in their eyes. MANY of those first 19 KO's were inside the first 3 rounds... What MANY don't know about the Holyfield ear bite was that Tyson did it because Holyfield was a known head clasher and used his head as a weapon. He DESTORYED peoples head before and had headbutted Tyson a couple times that fight tying to cut him.
@Pᴀᴡɴ S𝜏ᴀʀ𝕤 ✯🇫ᴀɴ You can claim whatever you want about about your opinion of his "unintentional headbutts". I'm telling you what multiple people (PROFESSIONAL BOXERS) said about Holyfield. Holyfield lead many exchanges with his head that fight. He was a known headbutter. You saying they didn't happen often shows you didn't watch him much. Check out the headbutt/low blow combo on Michael Dokes OR the Rahman hematoma to name JUST 2 others.
@Pᴀᴡɴ S𝜏ᴀʀ𝕤 ✯🇫ᴀɴ No. Most boxers try not to roll back their neck to do a headbutt. They initiate the headbutt by tucking their chin snugly against their chest so they can strike with the top of their head, where the cranium is hardest.
@@ptournas There are also multiple times where Holyfield is back peddling with speed; Tyson is chasing, Holyfield pulls his head in and down, aims the crown of his head in and steps in to the aggressing Tyson and clashes.
it's really amazing to see Mike Tyson fight. He was short, and didn't have as much reach as many of his opponents had, but moved like a blur in the ring and could close the distance to deliver massive torque in his punches, particularly that left hook of his. Watching Tyson slip punches like it was an art form was incredible for a heavyweight. Mike Tyson is someone I wouldn't fight even if he were on his deathbed.
From what I have read, being short and having short limbs can be an advantage. Especially when you have muscle mass and speed as Tyson. First of all, it is easier to dodge and quickly change direction with a shorter body. Secondly: Tyson can reach his maximum power in a shorter distance than someone with long limbs. And Tyson was basically fearless, he tried to always close the distance between him and the opponent. So that those with longer limbs would have a harder time to maximize their power output. Test it out yourself, at what lenght do you feel your arms reach the maximum punching power? To me, it is pretty much when fully extended. There is a big misconception that being taller is an advantage in fights. Especially boxing. The rules might change in different types of combat sports (kicks, grappling etc)
I grew up when Tyson was in his prime boxing career, even watching the Holyfield fight at the skating ring when I was 16. Tyson was known for extremely fast KOs, most were faster than the national anthem, and God forbid you paid for pay per view, because you paid a lot of money for a 10 sec fight most times lol.
DUDE there's a brand new clip of someone asking people what they think about Mike Tyson. Then Mike Tyson sneaks out of a door and stands behind them as they answer. Then their reaction when they realize that. You gotta see it.
Your recollection of seeing Mike Tyson really reminds me of my age. I remember when Mohammed Ali's name was Cassius Clay. ( his true moniker -- named after a famous abolitionist )
The combination of accuracy speed and power was something different. In his prime, I think he was the best ever. He had an aggregation about him in the ring where he would charge forward, and when he landed a hit, he didn't stop until he got 4 or 5 more. He was just an absolute terminator fighting humans.
My boy Ernie had the fight pad ( his house with pay per view and big screen) and we watched every boxing fight and every UFC when they first started in the early 90's. Mike was amazing to watch in real time. From one fight to the next from one opponent to the next and the hype in between there was nothing like it before or since in sports to that magnitude!
Fun Fact: I used to care for Mike's tiger, upon which he based his facial tattoo. I volunteered volunteered at an exotic animal rescue. Interestingly, the Rescue was owned and operated by Safari Joe's ex.
Check out a video called Real Italian Stallion Rocky Marciano. Hardest hitter ever gets VERY slept on. You can find videos making the case for him being the GOAT now too alot of marciano stuff to react to
Reactive Replays: Mike Tyson was the youngest HEAVYWEIGHT champion ever at age 20. Wilfredo Benitez remains the youngest champ EVER at 17. He was a welterweight (147lb. limit) who turned pro when he was 14 back in the 70's and won the world title 3 years later. P. S.-He was from South America so he could turn pro at 14. You could never do it here in the U. S. Any boxing questions I can answer them! I'm 60 and have been into boxing and it's history since I was 11🤗😂
I was a teen when Tyson was world champion. When Tyson was in his prime he was an absolute BEAST! Another person who commented got it right. You didn't watch Tyson to see if he would win. You watched Tyson to see what he would do to the other guy. When he finally lost it was quite a shock.
After that punch he got over by Dapper Dan’s there were so many Mitch Green jokes around town. Iron Mike was at his peak, crazy for this dude to try him like that.
I just watched a little documentary on Jack Dempsey. He was the OG. This was in 1919. Over a hundred years ago.They had boxing matches that were scheduled for 45 rounds. Insane. There's footage. The crazy thing is that boxers still use his techniques. Check it out
George Foreman and Mike Tyson are my two favorite boxers, but it was the early Tyson. Back when they fought, it was no nonsense. Just go in there and swing. Tyson was quick and powerful. Foremen swung tree trunks around the ring. I was him knock a guy out through the guy's own fists. The guy had his gloves up in front of his face and George just plowed those gloves into his face. I was never a big guy, but even if I was I wouldn't want to face either of them. Good reaction. Stay healthy, stay safe.
I have so many videos to recommend. They’re movies and documentaries on Tyson, so it’s not something you would necessarily react to. But, man, I ADORE mike Tyson. I wish more could see how wonderful of a person he is. Mike Tyson came from nothing, but he always had such a pure innocent heart. He’s so appreciative and grateful for all of his experiences. Cus ‘D’Amato took interest in him bc of his boxing abilities,and when his mom died became his legal guardian (his father wasn’t in the picture). Cus D’Amato trained and told him he was the best and could take over the world, and Mike trusted and believed him. Just watch any Mike Tyson interviews and watch documentaries, you’ll now only see how amazing he is, he’s truly inspirational, and you’ll just learn a lot philosophically. Mike Tyson is very intelligent. He has clearly explored the roots of all of his flaws. Another telling fact about Tyson, he doesn’t like fighting, he’s never liked it. He’s cried before every fight. He’s a gentle giant. I would love to work for him as an assistant of sorts, just so I can ask questions! Love him!!!
I gave you like I love your channel enjoy your personality but I already saw this one guy all right brother keep up the great work peace love and joy to you and yours
I remember watching one of Tyson’s training sessions they had taped before one of his fights and they clocked him at throwing 10 punches in UNDER 3 SECONDS!!! Tyson has machine gun fists of fury!
That's what he was famous for knockouts in the first few minutes of the 1st round. Only two hits. Mike hit his opponent and they hit the canvas. End of fight .
I love you Leo, thanks for all your videos. Back in the 80s I waitressed at a bar/restaurant and when Iron Mike pay per view was on we were lucky to get to 3 rounds. He was a Force
Mike is definitely the best boxer I've seen. Maybe it's because when I was a kid Tyson was the poster boy for the whole industry, but I've watched alot of old and newer fighters as I've grown and man, he just had everything. A fucking engine of a man.
MT fights turned me into a boxing fan. His fights were so exciting (and mercifully shortfor any opponent he had) it was just unreal. His fights rarely lasted passed the 4th round. I swear you could watch his whole boxing career in one afternoon.
Tyson is beast, unique persona and a tragic career and life story. He could have had the greatest career ever but there were outside and personal influences that did screw it up. You should look at some videos of Rocky Marciano. The man used to knock fighters teeth into their gums. A hammer instead of a fist, a powerful neck, a fighter's rage. He beat his adversary to blood, then hugged him. The only athlete in the history of heavyweight boxing to retire undefeated after defending the title six times.
I was actually surprised to see Green fighting honourably like a man, usually these gangland rats will blindside people (if the don't pull a weapon) and/or get their droogs in on it too, and the usually seem to target little old women, especially in NY.
I remember watching Tyson when I was younger. Pay-per view TV was the thing back then and everyone paid at that time $50 to watch Tyson v Spinks. It was Mikes very first PPV event and everyone wanted to see it. The bell rang for the first round and Tyson knocked Spinks out in 91 seconds. I remember the news saying how mad people were that they paid $50 for a 91 second fight and wanted refunds. LOL
To this day, there has not been one single fighter as intimidating as prime Tyson. Crazy you posted this, because about an hour ago I commented on a video Michael Bisping just made where he ranks the top 5 scariest UFC fighters. It was a valid list, but none of them are even close to prime Tyson. Francis Nngannou, Brock Lesnar, Shane Carwin, etc. all made other fighters extra cautious because of their insane power. Prime Tyson made his opponents looks like they're about to sh1t their pants. You can literally see the terror in their eyes when they get in the ring. And these were world class, elite, heavyweight boxers. His speed and explosiveness were God tier.
I grew up watching tyson fights. That man was a beast. Very technical and hands down the hardest hitter in boxing history. Even foreman said he was glad he didn't ever have to fight him.
You silly and it's hilarious. Only thing I know about Tyson. 1. Dated Robin Givens 2. Couldn't beat him on NES. 3. Fresh Prince thought he could beat him. In Living Color did a skit mocking him and Robin. 4. There was a TV movie about him. Awesome reaction brother.
I grew up only a few miles from the boy’s school (Tryon) that Tyson spent time in. Whenever my brother or I were acting like assholes mom would always would say “c’mon, going for a ride.”, and that usually meant going to Tryon. She never actually made good on the threat though. It was often just a ride around the block. I remember calling her out on it one day, and we ended up at the front gate of the boy’s school and I cried like a bitch. Sidenote : The Tryon Boy’s School is now a medical marijuana facility.
“Tyson done knocked his ass back to the block” 💀💀💀
"What you need? I got nickel and dime.. whatever you need man"
They don't call him "Iron Mike" for no reason. He's a walking sledgehammer.
When you learn a nickname for life, you know you did some serious shit
Yes sir, I remember back in the day my older brothers friends rented a pay per view, 1st round knockout, haha they were pissed. Prime Tyson was a bulldog, ridiculous

I was actually surprised to see Green fighting honourably like a man, usually these gangland rats will blindside people (if the don't pull a weapon) and/or get their droogs in on it too, and the usually seem to target little old women, especially in NY.
Probably because there’s Emotional background feeding the force that he Yeah has. I respect that I am very much.
I remember, VIVIDLY, watching Mike bite off Holyfield’s ear..
Oh man I still remember this. You should DEF do more sports reactions
I remember watching Tyson when I was younger. Pay-per view TV was the thing back then and everyone paid at that time $50 to watch Tyson v Spinks. It was Mikes very first PPV event and everyone wanted to see it. The bell rang for the first round and Tyson knocked Spinks out in 91 seconds. I remember the news saying how mad people were that they paid $50 for a 91 second fight and wanted refunds. LOL
Great Tyson imitation!!
Wear some PPE when you walk up on Tyson! LOL Love you bro! Love ALL the content! Respect from NY
In his Prime nobody had the smallest chance against Tyson. He was a killer in the ring
To this day, there has not been one single fighter as intimidating as prime Tyson. Crazy you posted this, because about an hour ago I commented on a video Michael Bisping just made where he ranks the top 5 scariest UFC fighters. It was a valid list, but none of them are even close to prime Tyson. Francis Nngannou, Brock Lesnar, Shane Carwin, etc. all made other fighters extra cautious because of their insane power. Prime Tyson made his opponents looks like they're about to sh1t their pants. You can literally see the terror in their eyes when they get in the ring. And these were world class, elite, heavyweight boxers. His speed and explosiveness were God tier.
I just noticed you got a new chair!
Also, Iron Mike Tyson is one of the reasons America is so dope.
I grew up watching tyson fights. That man was a beast. Very technical and hands down the hardest hitter in boxing history. Even foreman said he was glad he didn't ever have to fight him.
Tyson is a humble beast
First fight Tyson sent his ass back to the street, second fight he sent his ass to church praying he never saw Tyson again lol
Mike Tyson is my favorite boxer all time. bring up his vaults everyone has faults.
There is no human that isn’t Jesus scarier than Mike Tyson in his prime…or him today.
You silly and it's hilarious. Only thing I know about Tyson. 1. Dated Robin Givens 2. Couldn't beat him on NES. 3. Fresh Prince thought he could beat him. In Living Color did a skit mocking him and Robin. 4. There was a TV movie about him. Awesome reaction brother.
I grew up only a few miles from the boy’s school (Tryon) that Tyson spent time in. Whenever my brother or I were acting like assholes mom would always would say “c’mon, going for a ride.”, and that usually meant going to Tryon. She never actually made good on the threat though. It was often just a ride around the block. I remember calling her out on it one day, and we ended up at the front gate of the boy’s school and I cried like a bitch.
Sidenote : The Tryon Boy’s School is now a medical marijuana facility.
