After 1988,he simply stopped practicing the techniques to keep the head and body moving for more then 1 or 2 rounds as he poorly demonstrated with douglas,holy and lewis. He had a few rounds of movement in those fights and then he got stationary.His stamina suffered immensly after spinks. another factor in his 50% decline of the techniques.If you lose that great stamina he developed so many years,you cant implement the constant head movements and the opponents starts to hit you more.No good.
No, once frustrated Mike throws all the skills he Learnt out the window and goes looking for a one punch knockout..... plus as you get older all the knee bending etc gets harder..
He just cannot keep up that movement as he got older... once he hit his early 20s all them years of bopping up and down side to side at his weight was too much... my uncle who has always loved boxing since the 1930s studied tyson , he loved him but saw the flaws.. he told me there was noway any man at that weight would be able to keep that style of fighting through out his career....
For a time I was tricked into thinking Tyson was the greatest but after a careful analysis of his opponents I realized they were not as good as Holyfield and Lewis so it made Tyson look better than he really was.
If you watch Tysons last major fight with Lennix Lewis, this is basically how it went, just a lot of hugging in the ring...but the older Tyson ran out of juice before developing a counter plan.
not even close, Lewis tagged Tyson with telephone jabs and heavy, hard straight right hands every round. Lennox used intelligence and ring generalship to win easily. Smith here just ran the whole time and landed nothing.
Yes Totally agreed - .... Only one in the world ...Only boxer bites off an ear off the opponent.... Only one in the world . Only one in boxing history.....The best biter.....boxer in the world....If he cannot knock out opponents....bite them
Two funny things about your comment. First, you say something disparaging about Mike Tysons ability, then follow it by saying "much respect to both of them". But also, you say that, not taking in consideration that Tyson made a career our of closing the distance on his opponents. So to say Tyson never could close the distance, is like saying Jordan never could score much, or Tiger never could drive off the tee very far... its either very sarcastic or very inaccurate lol
Mc se ike is amazing, I always love watching Mike fight and how he would show off his speed, quickness and just how elusive he was. I remember back in the day how one fight he would seriously embarrassed one fighter.
I can be used for my luck with the time of the best regards and thanks again for your own personal information as well as the best way to get it done today and I will send you all the best of my phone and beautiful loving the new one for my phone number of your website on top of the pages of the day and thanks again for your time of the day.
Smith had the right strategy but was unable to execute (to put it mildly). Tyson respected his power though, that's a big reason why Smith was able to survive the distance.
Daniel stop talking sh*t son. Mike tried everything to make it an honest fight. This big girl Smith had no desire to throw any shots inside where all the damage is really done for a tall fighter against an explosive shorter one.
James Smith i thought would of been a solid challenge for Tyson, a big guy with good reach that could hit hard and could take tremendous amounts of punishment. Similar to Donovan Ruddock who could match Tyson punch for punch, unfortunately that didn't happen, the match itself was one sided, other then throwing an occasional punch and locking up Tyson every 30 seconds, Smith did virtually nothing in this match in terms of offense. I'm sure many Tyson fans were expecting more from someone who goes by the name "bonecrusher" to offer a more competitive challenge. As said before Smith should of done what Donovan Ruddock did, and thats going straight at Tyson head on, because he had the power, strength and size to at least try this tactic, he should of punched hard and punched often to keep pressure on Tyson, that never happened. All Smith proved in this fight was how uninterested he was in giving what many fans were expecting, and that was an epic fight that pushed both fighters to their limits.
Ruddock still got knocked out and then beaten for 12 straight rounds the 2nd time around. He was never gona beat Tyson. After that first Loss wake-up call and before he went to prison, he was back to form again.
I’m struggling to find anywhere in the fight where Bone Crusher lands a clean punch despite a 10” longer reach. Just goes to show how slippery and slick Mikes defence was.
@@tyronecrawford2157 That is exactly right, but he didn't need to do that, Buster was not a true champion. Hollyfield knocked him out in the 3rd round .
@@theselfimprovementsanctuar3602 there are lots tyson fanboys. In my opinión Smith gave much work tyson in his prime. I think this days watching múltiples fights about 80& 90s ,tyson not the best historia. Because Ali frazee o foreman could have disputed him .probably.
To apreciate mike. Youve gotta meet then in person. Ive seen quite a few heavyweights in person. Riddick bowe was massive looked like a briwn bear standing on his hind legs. I soitted lewis in vagas and he was abiut tye same size and height. Then I meet mike. He was nothing what you would expect from a heavy. Im about 5'10 barefooted and we were eye to eye. it makes out appreciate how magnifucant mike was. Short and small yet devasting
Tyson was right for provoking Smith at the end of round 1. Tyson realized that he had to get smith angry in order for smith to stop clinching so much...well
The maIn weapons of Tyson were a right body shot and then a right upper cut. Inbetween seconds. He never delivered this combo here and also not in the fight against Douglas in 1990. In fights where he was going directly to the head he never succveed.
@100k Cashout. 😆, you misunderstood my comment. What I meant to say is that Bonecrusher Smith can say “I fought Mike Tyson and I didn’t get knocked out” because he can be proud that he went the distant without getting killed.
Bonecrusher was more concerned about getting his bones crushed than fighting Tyson. Total command. Tyson especially a young Tyson had incredible speed and power.
Hate to be Mr. Fanboy but it’s hard to believe Tyson shown here could lose to his other two contemporaries hf and Lennox. Douglas would most likely go the distance because of his mothers spirit. But this Tyson is only 21 and he is about to unify the division. At 21 Holyfield was sparring a 14 year old Tyson.
@@PowersMonkey ...and lean into him if you're the heavier larger man. That's what all the boxers did later...tie him up, and then lean their body weight into his posture to kill off Tyson's speed.
Tyson is a dangerous man in the ring. Ever looking to brutalize, knock out, hurt and destroy any opponent. He is also unpredictable, you never know when to expect a sucker punch, a bite or a kick in the balls. He is an excellent inmate and needs much more incarceration.
Bryan-Michael Dungee the way to beat Tyson is to out box him. You can’t win if you aren’t swinging. All these guys just wanted a pay check and to maybe keep their head attached, straight pansies. Imagine Tyson walking into every fight just grabbing every dude when they approached.
Thats what happens to anyone fighting this 21 yr old tyson.He was,at this early age,at his fastest and best skill and stamina.He had it all working. It was how larry Merchant described perfectly."it's not that they're scared before the fight,every fighter is to some degree,scared,it's what happens after the bell rings.The opponents realize his speed and defense is so hard to deal with and they all become discombobulated."They end up dancing to HIS music".
There is something very wrong with this fight conspiracy alert. Hear me out and maybe I'm missing the obvious. I watch a lot of fights while I run on my iPad for 30-40 minutes on the treadmill . Fights are 3 minute rounds so to be safe and to get my full work out in i usually watch 10 rounds and factor in a minute or in this case with some editing 30 seconds between rounds and after 10 rounds I should atleast be at the 35 minute mark of my run or further. We'll after 10 rounds of this fight and breaks in between ... I looked down at my clock and I was at less than 30 minutes total !!. For shits I went back and timed round 4 and it was only 1 minute 50 seconds long , Round 7 was only 2:18 .. I didn't time them all but you get the point and please check for yourself. I don't see any edits during the actual fight only during breaks. Now I ask the question why??? You hear the commentator saying there were many bets on how quickly this fight would be stopped by Tyson. Now the conspiracy... were the Vegas odds makers skimming time off the rounds to push this fight to the distance ? I bet a lot of people lost alot of money that night. Anyone out there please set me straight or let me know if I'm on to something?.... Also who the hell cares Iron Mike is a legend !
Another fighte who made me see the weakness in tyson, how once frustrated the head movement goes, the combinations go and he starts looking for that one punch knockout... it stayed with him and was his downfall
Mike Tyson was a short 20 yr old up against a 6’4 dog with a hellvua reach. You have not competed or held any belts that would make anyone respect your observation. Tyson preformed well for a 20 yr old pro. Granted he was seasoned by then but cmon mr. Analyst
Bravo Bone Crusher! You did not let Iron Mike Tyson's make you an easy target at the peak of Tyson's career when everybody got used to Tyson's opponent to be on the canvass in a few rounds. Even the commentator in this video spoke one sidedly and looked totally disappointed and did not mention at all whenever Bone Crusher boxed Tyson so many times in varius rounds. How many other heavy weights went 12 rounds with Tyson without a knock down (other than Tyson's losses in his later career)?
Bravo Bone Holder Smith! One of the worst holding fights I've ever seen! It wasn't clenching it was holding! Not to mention this was a championship fight. Only thing you had to do is listen to the fans that were there booing him.
Kamran Jafri you see this makes my ppl ount perfectly clear who ? You ask ? ZERO! Why zero!? Because the ones he LL ist to later in his career we're the kisses w me he would have taken early in his career that his handlers did a spectacular job if avoiding on purpose! At least one person on this planet would need t dispute that s fact and he can add me as a fan now because he is now a1st humblehumsn being pwhich no one thought that the word humble would be used for that describe him 2nd thankful he got to eventually fight some of the true heavy weight champs and #1contenders of all time in the ring which never would have happened in his used because all it takes in your youth in your Prime is to lose to one of those and then you know you're lit left without a legacy and never heard of which would have happened to Mike Tyson had he fought any of the true contenders back then but he wasn't he was King of the heavyweight Brawlers guys didn't deserve to be in a freaking top range and the one person that can attest it is and I don't think he has any problems admitting this and that's why I have become a fan of his now and is latter part of his life and that is Mike Tyson himself and I think for that it does make him wear the greater legacy's in boxing you know he had a great run but you know the handlers did an excellent job of avoiding true heavy weights and giving him his legacy that was probably undeserving at the time but I think the way he handles it in his time now with the grades because he does realize you got lucky and that's all that really matters when it was considered Mike Tyson's
@Boxing_Gamer in the 8th Round. Mike beat buster Douglas. With a very hard upper cut, & A 🐌 10 count. Mike played the K O, To one of his seminars. And said, " I beat BUSTER DOUGLAS Watch & he knows the cadence of a professional boxing count I was a count of (13) un lucky Number. " Mike Tyson was eating up all the purse money, Not one person wanted to fight him. He had (2) great fights against Evander. Fantastic bouts, of course, he lost & to Lennox Lewis. He fought BUSTER DOUGLAS without training. This should show everyone how well conditioned athletes at his level 👏 ❤️ you Mike!!!

Fights are 3 minute rounds so to be safe and to get my full work out in i usually watch 10 rounds and factor in a minute or in this case with some editing 30 seconds between rounds and after 10 rounds I should atleast be at the 35 minute mark of my run or further. We'll after 10 rounds of this fight and breaks in between ... I looked down at my clock and I was at less than 30 minutes total !!. For shits I went back and timed round 4 and it was only 1 minute 50 seconds long , Round 7 was only 2:18 .. I didn't time them all but you get the point and please check for yourself. I don't see any edits during the actual fight only during breaks. Now I ask the question why??? You hear the commentator saying there were many bets on how quickly this fight would be stopped by Tyson. Now the conspiracy... were the Vegas odds makers skimming time off the rounds to push this fight to the distance ? I bet a lot of people lost alot of money that night. Anyone out there please set me straight or let me know if I'm on to something?.... Also who the hell cares Iron Mike is a legend !
I grew up to this That music at the end was the classic Iron Mike Tyson Signature ko song.
By by by no by hi in
Ha ha ha😊
Bonecrusher was finally able to land tht right during the last 10 Seconds of the fight. Stunned Tyson for a brief moment 🤯
Darius Conston Bruno also stunned him in their first match- first round -left hook- buckled Tyson’s legs

I fuckin love how Tyson kept tryna fight after the bell lmfaooo!
This fight showed a few weaknesses of Tyson.
You caught that too. That's what later opponents probably caught wind of.
Those silent agreements that Teddy Atlas talked about....

Another fighte who made me see the weakness in tyson, how once frustrated the head movement goes, the combinations go and he starts looking for that one punch knockout... it stayed with him and was his downfall
Mike Tyson was a short 20 yr old up against a 6’4 dog with a hellvua reach. You have not competed or held any belts that would make anyone respect your observation. Tyson preformed well for a 20 yr old pro. Granted he was seasoned by then but cmon mr. Analyst
20:17 dude was throwing hugs the whole fight and at this moment he wanted to take advantage 🤣
Wise old veteran Smith goes the distance by staying away from Tyson . Good for bone crusher .

Bravo Bone Crusher! You did not let Iron Mike Tyson's make you an easy target at the peak of Tyson's career when everybody got used to Tyson's opponent to be on the canvass in a few rounds. Even the commentator in this video spoke one sidedly and looked totally disappointed and did not mention at all whenever Bone Crusher boxed Tyson so many times in varius rounds. How many other heavy weights went 12 rounds with Tyson without a knock down (other than Tyson's losses in his later career)?
Great observations Kamran Jafri and I totally agree with U.👍
Bravo Bone Holder Smith!
One of the worst holding fights I've ever seen! It wasn't clenching it was holding! Not to mention this was a championship fight. Only thing you had to do is listen to the fans that were there booing him.
Kamran Jafri you see this makes my ppl ount perfectly clear who ? You ask ? ZERO! Why zero!? Because the ones he LL ist to later in his career we're the kisses w me he would have taken early in his career that his handlers did a spectacular job if avoiding on purpose! At least one person on this planet would need t dispute that s fact and he can add me as a fan now because he is now a1st humblehumsn being pwhich no one thought that the word humble would be used for that describe him 2nd thankful he got to eventually fight some of the true heavy weight champs and #1contenders of all time in the ring which never would have happened in his used because all it takes in your youth in your Prime is to lose to one of those and then you know you're lit left without a legacy and never heard of which would have happened to Mike Tyson had he fought any of the true contenders back then but he wasn't he was King of the heavyweight Brawlers guys didn't deserve to be in a freaking top range and the one person that can attest it is and I don't think he has any problems admitting this and that's why I have become a fan of his now and is latter part of his life and that is Mike Tyson himself and I think for that it does make him wear the greater legacy's in boxing you know he had a great run but you know the handlers did an excellent job of avoiding true heavy weights and giving him his legacy that was probably undeserving at the time but I think the way he handles it in his time now with the grades because he does realize you got lucky and that's all that really matters when it was considered Mike Tyson's
Kamran Jafri n
I wonder if buddy’s nickname changed after this fight 😂
Crushed Bones 😂
Clinch or not clinch, he made 12 rounds with Tyson look like a walk in the park.
Please,
Watch each fight Mike Tyson is in. You will see how good he really was. And Still is😅
@@craighoward6243I know
@Boxing_Gamer in the 8th Round. Mike beat buster Douglas. With a very hard upper cut, & A 🐌 10 count. Mike played the K O,
To one of his seminars. And said, " I beat BUSTER DOUGLAS
Watch & he knows the cadence of a professional boxing count
I was a count of (13) un lucky Number. " Mike Tyson was eating up all the purse money,
Not one person wanted to fight him. He had (2) great fights against Evander. Fantastic bouts, of course, he lost & to Lennox Lewis. He fought BUSTER DOUGLAS without training. This should show everyone how well conditioned athletes at his level 👏
❤️ you Mike!!!
Do not forget mike is only 20 years old 🙃😉😒🤫
i remember watching this....an agonizing endeavor....bone hugger smith

Tyson's EASIEST FIGHT! His sparing partners gave him more work! WTH!!!

What would have been a great fight would have been Tyson versus George Foreman (during his prime in the 1970's)
True. Foreman would have won that.
Nop ,Tyson win !
There's no way. Tyson was great though. ✌️

This might sound like a stupid question but why do they boxers hang on each other after they throw a couple punches?
It's called clinching. They do it so the opponent can't get in full arm blows.
Franky Hepburn meanwhile in UFC they get dry humped and get dicks in the face - L _ -
because the another guy cant hit you easely
Young J no bro, they can kick they can elbow they can knee, on the ground they can submit
ofc if you watch shit fights its gonna be a shit match
Toco i know im just sayin when i fight my frinds with gloves and stuff they always get me on the ground when where playin and it feel so humiliating with them just on me
Mike's ability to get inside the larger opponent dwindled as he changed trainers.
I'd like to have some pancakes now extra butter and extra syrup
Fuck up kid

Not many men could go the distance with Tyson back then--good on Smith
