1999-01-16 Mike Tyson - Francois Botha

[waiotahi52]

I got the impression that Mike was just waiting for that moment, he must be sick and tired of 'boxers' dancing with him, hanging on to him so he worked out how to deal with it. Go Mike!

Do you agree this ref is the best ever, he takes control.

[dangercartxx]

I hate all this hugging / holding bullshit. It's complete bullshit / pussy tactics

[KravaLLT]

Botha was a better fighter that night. A lucky shots ends it sometimes

[KleWdSide]

@KravaLLT You're joking, right? He was clearly intimidated & wasn't doing anything.

[KravaLLT]

@KleWdSide wasnt doing anything becides winning every round before he got cought

[Criphomie1]

@KravaLLT

you're mad 

[heykevinb]

27:30 "I mean that is a mark of a shot fighter when you ca..."

[heykevinb]

damn both is crying that tyson is armbarring him yet you ca clearly see at 12:38 botha is HOLDING.

[heykevinb]

botha did start good. botha got a standing armbar from tyson for that hugging nonsense. that's how the game is played man. you want to keep hugging, make the guy pay for it.

[heykevinb]

IF IF IF IF IF...if Botha was going to do anything he wouldn't need some lucky shot he would be doing worth noting through the entire fight. in the end...the real champ won.

@heykevinb

"IF IF IF IF IF..."

Quite. And that is, by the way, pretty much all you hear from Tyson fanboys about why Tyson didn't go 75-0 in his career. Every defeat has a chorus of "ifs" accompanying it.

[tlig]

Botha blew it; dude had the fight in the bag but became too relaxed in there. He'd have made a name (and some serious coin) for himself if he'd pulled it off. This was one of the most beatable versions of Tyson up until that point.

[blackoil911]

as a big tyson fan , i must admit i never seen this b4

best match tks for posting

[TGBAgentOrange]

If Botha landed that upper at 09:42 Tyson would have been down for the count

[TGBAgentOrange]

I remember staying up at night to watch this early morning fight just to go to bed a few minutes later haha

[nonims]

why botha barks like a dog

[DrXoz]

damm Tyson was slow in this fight

[methlamamba]

At 27:26, i swear Mike points at dudes chin with his right.

[blodgrapefrukt]

thanks for uploading, very good video. american comentators are (as usual) bad however...

[IronMonkG]

11:35 botha ist punching tyson and tyson is talking with the referee

[blackoil911]

@IronMonkG

No matter what they say about Tyson against Holyfield... just take a look at these champions like Lewis and Holyfield!!! sure tyson lost But he was definitely up there .... Brotha is a fcuking joke MAD respect for Tyson coming back

[hamidi1645]

le numero 1 mike tyson

[SmackNcrack01]

my favourite mike ko. wasnt goin well but he knew it would come eventually and CLICK CLICK BANG!

[nePfarious]

Two mad men. Absolute surprise for Mike Tyson

[blackoil911]

that girl in the beginning gives such a sexy look

[gaekel]

33:02 BROOKLYN RULES!!!!!

[pinjapippurinen]

Hugging & Kissing in the end was maybe slightly gay, but defenetly no homo

[1taal1a]

whats the entrance song of mike tyson ??

[willisapril]

@1taal1a DMX INTRO

[jmarra07]

Botha is still fighting

[NemoInLandOfWonder]

In my eyes this hugging business is cheating, too sad it became a repeated way to try break the greatest. I believe at 27:27 tyson tells him something- "sick of your shit"

Boom

[ThePo10c]

@NemoInLandOfWonder True, like he was giving him a sign "this is it now, game over." He's a legend.

[MikeTyson20]

Thank you for uploading these videos. some of these entrances are very rare!

[kareemabdullah]

@MikeTyson20 i agree, too many people cut them off
