@@vivlaw1977 Maybe someone like Idris Elba? He'd at least be able to portray his intimidating bull-type physicality somewhat? Though Alba is way too old now to play Tyson in his peak.
Yep watched it live at a snooker club in Bedford... that punch sent the place wild, think we really thought it could happen... and Frank Carpenter shouting "come on frank".
Tysons instinctive response was a hook that just missed even as he wobbled. If that had connected it would have decapitated Bruno. That's the difference between them right there!
For sure. I always think refs should go for caution, even if the crowd and fans hate them for it. They have to be the one protect the fighters. It always makes me cringe when refs in boxing and MMA just let a fighter get pummeled and beat nearly to death without a stoppage knowing they are probably suffering some pretty severe unnecessary brain damage.
@@tonyg5132 For sure, MMA has been better about stoppages compared to Boxing by a lot. Boxing you just regularly see dudes brain cells vanishing and no stoppage. Letting guys just get tee'd off on with no defense or getting up way too many times from knockdowns. Seeing some of my favorite boxers just stumble through sentences after they retire has made me really look differently at those situations. They will of course make some mistakes and stop too early, but again, I'd much rather that happen than a fight go too far and fighter's suffer needlessly.
What? Never heard of Frank Bruno? 😂 You must be very young, big Frank is the most famous British heavyweight ever. Not the greatest chin, nor boxing skills, but he had devastating 1 punch KO power, more than Joshua and was WBC champ in mid 90s before Tyson beat him for 2nd time.
Please please please, keep this series coming, it's been 1.5y already since the last video and this is simply the best boxing series there is on yt right now, you guys are fantastic!!
The way these shorts are edited and put together, with all the historical footage reels and fight analysis, is 5-star. Completely captures the entire mood and groove of the time ... thanks!
A lot of people diss Bruno as a boxer, but he fought the best boxers of his time and always made a good account of himself. Shame he had stamina issues and flagged towards the end of his bouts.
Bruno always had a good chin I've never understood people saying he was chinny. All I can think is they watched 2 fights, Tyson and Lewis and made that assumption. Both Tyson and Lewis are two of the hardest punchers and greatest we've ever had. His other 2 loses were late round stoppages when he was younger, greener and run out of steam late and both were World champion in Witherspoon and Bonecrusher Smith. Both solid fighters too.
Cause he was against the ropes. That uppercut would have put him down. It was Tysons specialty combo that I loved. Shot to the body to get the guy to lower his guard then the viscous uppercut
Having a "good chin" is one thing, but Bruno was getting rocked there. I wouldn't say he was out on his feet, but I'd argue that there was plenty of damage being done inside his dome.
Hence I the claim that George Foreman would be a devastating opponent for Tyson who not only could take those punches but also was the hardest hitter of the two.
People forget Mike was just 22 when he fought Frank the first time. Just 5 years earlier he was a nobody kid in upstate NY. Now, he can’t go anywhere without the searing press watching and scrutinizing his every move. The centering force of Cus and his team (Jim Jacobs, Rooney, Cayton) were dead (Jacobs, ‘88) or fired. He was no longer the same fighter.
They can forget all they want; just like how everybody is eventually gonna forget THEM... But those of us who WERE THERE back then and still remember it like it was yesterday, are NOT gonna forget it anytime soon!
I want to say thanks for the last upload vs Spinks , and showing Tyson’s training routine, that was insane, last month I started to do the morning jog at around “Tyson time” so far it’s been pretty good morning exercise. 👍
This was the first fight without Kevin Rooney in the corner and you could tell by the end of the first round. Kevin even himself said Bruno should have finished it in the first.
I love Tyson but man knowing how he was with Rooney in his corner to see him basically a brawler without him is a tragedy. Like he gave up the peek a boo style the head movements everything left .
@@newgenerationtechnology2930 People say that, But Mike had some of his weakest performances under Kevin Rooney!! Look at his 1986 fight with journeyman James Tillis (a guy with over 20 losses) Mike struggled for 10 rounds and even lost 4 out of those 10 rounds on the judges score cards, many fan believe Tillis actually won the fight!! in 1987 he (Mike) looked poor against James Smith (one of the weakest champs ever with a 19-8 record at the time) Mike just get rushing in and getting caught in clinches, couldn't even drop smith over 12 rounds and even got badly hurt by smith in the last round. He looked bad against tony tubbs to, just swinging wildly looking for one big punch, actually got outboxed by Tubbs until landing a big left hook. Rooneys influence on Mike is very overrated.
Mike's movement is what separated him from his opponents aside from the incredible defence, power, refuse to lose mentality etc. His movement amplified all his other attributes. Once this disappeared he was no longer that truly superior fighter to other men. Am a lifelong Tyson fan and this was a heartbreaking and career changing moment.
Those punches were brutal. Tyson does not get enough credit on how much leverage he gets with his punches and his weight distribution. That is literally 200lbs of force in every punch. Scary stuff. Frank was tough as nails.
yea they could have said he was the lightest fighter in the ring but all that weight was in each punch so when everyone had that wall ready to take on sledgehammers he was coming in with a wrecking ball
No fucking doubt! Tyson fights were events at who ever had pay per view at there house. Bbq, 36 packs of beer, cocaine weed and bitches. Great times. Mid to late 80’s were incredible
Bruno is very underrated. One of the hardest punchers in history. He only lost to the very best. Even this Tyson was better than the one that came out of prison.
Tyson deserves a bit more credit for his dominating wins against Bruno. Just because Frank was prone to getting knocked out, still didn't mean it was easy to do it. Prior to Tyson, he got stopped in the last stages of both fights. And both were against big men who knew how to punch. Mike just absolutely demolished him. Twice.
How was he prone to getting knocked out? I've never understood that narrative. He lost 5 times, twice to Tyson, once to Lewis - both are two of the hardest punchers in history and then to two solid fighters who both could punch and both were world champions in Tim Witherspoon and Bonecrusher Smith. He lost to 4 men in 45 fights, with 40 wins and 39 knockouts. I think Bruno deserves a lot more respect imo.
@@tonyh8965 And respect is what I am giving him. Which is exactly why I'm saying that Tyson deserves more respect for beating him twice. As for him being prone to getting knocked out, that's simply a way of saying, when he lost he got knocked out. Man lost 5 times but never by decision. I like Bruno, think he's very underrated in general. No less respect to him just because he was stopped a handful of times by big punchers. It's heavyweight boxing and that's the name of the game.
@@thediaz07 he was a gentle giant out of the ring with unique laugh He struggled with his mental health later and had to be sectioned. Thankfully seems to have recovered now.
i dont think ive ever saw another man take such a barrage of textbook power combinations from mike tyson and still stand there. thats almost superhuman .
You gotta give Bruno respect for that first round. Tyson was lightening quick ask ever and Bruno still made him swing at air. Impressive. That may have been the best first round of boxing I've seen.
It’s cool to someone as talented and ferocious in the ring as Mike Tyson also able to express gratitude to a friend in such an honest, eloquent way! The GOAT, in my opinion.
Tyson's body shot followed by the uppercut seems absolutely devastating. I would love to see the numbers in the force behind it. Like a shotgun blast or something similar.
I miss those days with the huge red bow tie in the middle of the light blue ring as a kid with my pops and uncles and all the guys. Watching Mike Tyson destroy one boxer after another. Boxing has never been the same.
Like it or hate it, Mike Tyson is the youngest boxing heavyweight champion ever at the age of 20 years, the record that still stands the test of time... Tell Lenox, Evander,, Buster to train their children and grandchildren boxing so they can try to break this timeless record in human lifetime ....and they will never break....Until we all die, nobody will break this record
Even though I love Mike Tyson I do have to admit that Frank Bruno looks abnormally good for a 61 year old, hell, I can't imagine any guy not wanting to look like Frank Bruno at that age.
To call Bruno a bodybuilder, is an insult. He lasted 5 rnds against a prime Tyson, a lot better than most did. He also won the WBC title, and rematched Tyson, rather than avoid him. He also had a decent effort against Lennox Lewis.
For the Brits, Bruno is an absolute hero, and his popularity transcended the sport. Probably the most popular british boxer there has ever been. Y'know what I mean, Harry.
Mike Tyson has lived long enough to see himself go from hero, to villain and back to hero again. His life does in fact deserve a movie.
