This was the beginning of the end for Mike Tyson. Rings Magazine ran an article on it entitled. 'The Bruno Fight Proves Mike Tyson Can Be Beaten'. They put the first round down as 'round of the year'. Bruno was too respectful, he could have knocked Tyson out if he had been less cautious after he hurt him. It was later proven by Buster Douglas that Tyson can't fight going backwards and Bruno, as the stronger fighter should have just backed him up, thrown caution to the wind and walloped him.
@Maxshard "Bruno was too respectful, he could have knocked Tyson out if he had been less cautious after he hurt him."
What are you fuckin' drunk? Bruno did everything he could to go after Tyson including more holding and hitting which he already had a point deducted for. Tyson got nailed with a good shot, but he wasn't nearly ready to go. You've got to be kidding with that nonsense.
@yomothaWHAT Frank Bruno is no bitch you idiot, proves just how little you know about boxing. Frank Bruno was a beast. I love Tyson but Bruno was a beast.
@TheKenfig Tyson would have torn Ali apart. I'm guessing you are an old fart who hates the FACT that each new generation is bigger, stronger, faster, smarter and superior in every way to yours.
@bobnudd So are you going to grow some balls and say that my statement is untrue? Actually, when some old guy resorts to calling people "son" in order to attempt to belittle them, it's always because they have nothing else. So don't bother.
@darklestinct The new generation IS bigger and stronger and faster. Mostly due to steroids and partially due to the fact that people are getting bigger. There's a very interesting theory about how human size varies with time, sometimes people get bigger sometimes they get smaller. And at the moment they're getting bigger. Anyway, if Tyson would have torn apart Ali why did he duck Foreman? Google "Tyson ducking Foreman". Why did Tyson get torn apart by Lewis and Holyfield?(continues
@darklestinct Anyway, in no way is the current free sex generation smarter than the warriors of yesterday. I look at my war veteran neighbour and see a tough motherfucker, a self-reliant son of a bitch. A guy who achieved everything by himself. Then I look at my classmates and see a bunch of assholes who are preoccupied with LOVE, sex, studying some Mickey Mouse course in college (economics, business management) and pleasing their desires.
@DestroyerAlexandros Bollocks. That generation was into sex, college and all that jazz as much as this one. The only difference is, they don't make documentaries about that with all the slow-mo black and white footage that gives you a lump in your throat and tricks you into believing everything was so much better back then.
@darklestinct You didn't get me right. I'm not saying those times were better than these (there's good and bad in each historical period). As a matter of fact, I'm waging a war against the delusional old-timers who still say guys like 200 lbs Louis and 180 lbs Marciano could beat Vitali Klitschko for example. However, postmodernism is the time of social sciences/humanities/etc. Plato devised that each next generation lives worse than the one before.There are TOO MANY people
@DestroyerAlexandros Plato lived in a time when everybody was dead by the time they were fifty and they were probably glad to die, having suffered the agony of rotting teeth since their twenties. A simple infection from a cut was the end of you. Anyone stronger than you could take anything you owned off you. Sex came with a high risk of pregnancy and pregnancy came with a 20% chance of death. If you were luck enough to be eating food, you didn't notice the bad taste.
@darklestinct HAHAH oh I'm laughing wholeheartedly mate :D Let's go point by point. Humans don't live much longer than their ancestors, that's a bad impression we get from interbred royalty that has recorded its life expectancy. No one stronger could take what that wanted from you because the morality of the Western world is based on the morality of Greeks/Romans/Christians. In my native language there are 2 words for society - obshtestvo and obshtnost. (continues)
@darklestinct Nowadays there is only society (obshtestvo) as in 100000 people who live by common rules and standards. There is no other type of society (obshtnost) which is a much tighter closely-knit group of people who know each other and interact on a daily basis. This form exists only in places like Facebook and Africa. Older societies were mostly of this type and they've proven to be more effective even today. There's a website that allows people to donate money to(continues2)
@darklestinct people around the world with no interest rate. This fund has a return rate of 99% because those are people who live in closely-knit societies and they would be outcasts if their close ones learned that they had taken money and not returned them. Sex is not for fun bro, it's God's way of MAKING people reproduce and it's better to think before you act. Hmmm the bad taste of food? You got me there, they ate mostly agricultural products and dairy and less meat(continues3)
@darklestinct no cancerous genetically modified shit and guess what - that means they had much better endurance and lower body fat than us! Believe it or not the Middle Ages and pre-Ice Age times were probably the best time to be around, despite what the postmodernists want you to believe! PS: They chewed on twigs to take care of their teeth which Indians still do today and have better aural health than Brits!
@paulkhan1 you obviously haven't seen many of Tysons fights. He often had people beaten before the first bell rang. Check out some of his early fights, they are all on here.
Both Klitchko brothers are decent fighters in their own right but seriously I doubt either would have lasted more than 6 or 7 rounds against Tyson at his best.
Tysons intensity as a young fighter would have troubled Ali and Foreman in my opinion. To try to put either Kitchko in the same bracket is madness.
@sweeper490 i agree with you but still, styles make fights. I think foremans power would have taken alot of tysons aggression away bcuz im sure he never fought a man with that kind of brut strength. ali i think his movement and punch accuracy wouldve given tyson problems. then of course u got tysons power and speed and technique when he was young so its a coin toss.
@reddmudd777 I think Foreman would have done to Tyson what he did to Frazier. Going the distance isn't really Tyson and Foreman's attributes but I doubt Tyson would have knocked Foreman out early as Ali only KOed him cos he tired himself out.
@paulkhan1 THIS era Tyson was the most devastating finisher boxing had ever seen,THIS era Tyson would destroy BOTH Klitchkos at the same time.LOL..between 1985 and 1989 Iron Mike Tyson woulda destroyed any man on this Planet!!!!!!!!
Because nobody ever mention the fact that Tyson came back to fight Bruno after a pretty long lay off,
& before that fight, he had a whole lot of crazy tormoil in his life in 1988.
from Street fighting with MITCH GREEN & braking his hands, Stressed out troubles with Robin Givens, Crashing his car & gettin KO'd from the accident, & various other situations he had..
yet, in 1989, Tyson still fought a very tough bigger Bruno, & still beat him
Good effort by Bruno but he just held on to him the whole time! I remember, like many old enough to remember, my nerves, watching him as the underdog and never looking like beating him.
frank bruno lifted to much weights, that's why he was slow. mike tyson, didn't lift weights, he punched heavy bags, that's how your supposed to get punching power and speed.
put a guy that hits a heavy bag 3 times a week for an hour against a guy that lifts weights to develop the main muscles groups used in punching 3 times a week a we will see!
@Bodybuddha mug people who lift weights are mentaly weak. They lack the bollocks so they lift weights and get big to confisate. Boxers are tough and have balls weight lifters are weak and cant fight.
Heh. Clever move. Bruno lowered Tyson's left hand defence by pressing with his head and when Mike's taking a step back immediately hitting with right hand hook before Mike can lift his hand.
tyson isn't looking the same. . . as he used to. He is beginning to lose his confidence. His inner life is beginning to crumble. Trainer dying. . . corner men changing. . success going to his head. . bad girls. . etc. etc. etc.

In England, I remember Harry Carpenter commenting that Frank had hurt Iron Mike (at 7:26) after he gets the 2 hooks in and Mike swings for him. I don't remember seeing anyone rocking him before this fight. Frank was always a great fighter who got stuck in against Tim Witherspoon & Lennox too. I like the comments about Mike's head hunting and lack of body shots. Did Mike mainly go for Franks's head because he'd rattled him though?
@iloveneytiri thats boxing wher they came with pride and to fight! not to run away and gbet a pay day?
no wonder ufc is trouncing boxing? u think in the ali tyson liston holmes days the ufc could do what they r doing? lol nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooppppppppppppppe!!!!!!!!
@jimpurdie I can't respond to someone that illiterate. I have no idea what you're rambling on about. When did I mention UFC????!!! I'm a boxing fan what are you on about??
@zulubro TYsons fighting ideals taught by damato and honed in by rooney was totally abandoned starting with this fight.This is the infamous fight showing an already declined from the prior 3 yrs, tyson.He was a head hunter in this fight.I only counted 5 body punches.He used to throw that many in the first round.Throwing wide shots offbalance.Everything he did in this fight was wrong.Rooney said he counted 100 mistakes,IN THE FIRST ROUND!
Mike Tyson is a Hall of Famer simply because of how much people talk about him. For better or worse every single person on earth has something to say about the guy.
In the middle of nowhere in Namibia we ran into a bunch of little kids from a local tribe that loved Tyson. They had never seen an iPod but they knew Mike haha.
@FSMNoodlyAppendage tysons a hall of famer because he is one of the greatest fighters of all time, by this fight he was 35-0 with 31 ko's, there hasnt been a fighter like him since him, he was agressive and hit hard, and his technical game was amazing
@rohan9376 im not sure about knockouts but i know rocky marciano retired as champ 49-0 but ive never seen a fighter with knockouts so close to his wins at such a high number being undefeated.
People could clearly see by this point that TYSON was slipping....he wasn't old or anything...but he wasn't training like he should have and was surrounding himself with YES man...look at how wild and looping his punches had become....
Yes-men, whores and other suck-ups. Mike explains it quite well on that documentary where he engages in pigeon-racing. For all his faults, Mike never wanted to really harm another man. Just watch that match between him an Frank Botha, it was brutal. But Mike was clearly distressed when Botha got a sever injury. Tyson at that point had fired the finest boxing-coach in the world. The nice Kevin Rooney, not the scummer playing for Manure.
Two puncher with glass jaws facing each other. I am sure the first guy who connects will KO the other guy. But for Haye, it will be unbelievably difficult to land first. Wlad just too big and will keep Haye with his Jab on the outside. Haye is very hittable, even the slow as shit Ruiz landed, so its just a mater of time till the first right hammer will land on Haye. If Haye moves in to land, Wlad will clinch. It will be an ugly and boring fight like Lewis vs Tyson.
Trashtalk is ok when you are in a position to do it. Ali, Toney, Floyd, RJJ etc were all elite proven fighter. Haye proved nothing till today, he is a paperchamp who needs some attention thats all.
Like i said i am from New Mexico and believe me overthere nobody gives a shit on this fight. They doenst even know who these guys are. Only Hardcore Fans knwo whats going on in europe. And believe me that fight will be boring as shit. Wlad is too big and too heavy for Haye.
i dont like trashtalker. Who is he to talk like that? A blown up Cruiserweight! Nothing more! Maccarinelli? Mormeck? Valuev? Ruiz? My ass! The Klitschkofight will be huge because Britains are morons, they really think that Haye has a chance against Wlad and so they are buying the ppv. Goddamn Morons. German TV-Network (RTL) will just pay 8 Million for both fighter, the rest is british PPV-MONEY :-) Wladimir is laughing his ass of man, you guys making him rich as hell!
Are you talking about that Paki? Or that Bitchwho is going to get destroyed by Klitschko? The only good fighter Britain has is Carl Froch, really Oldschool and entertaining, the rest of your fucking fighter are crap!
Btw i am from a country who has 16 World Champions right know. I am studying in Germany you dumbass fool. Even Germany, Japan and Argentina got more Champions then you british pussies. Go back to your royal wedding, you know shit about boxing!
@RGdood 'Illegally grabbed him like a pussy'? What would you have done you dumb douche bag? Bruno was the first man to legitimately shake Tyson down to his boots. Tyson said later, no one ever hit him as hard as Bruno did. But of course you're a big tough keyboard warrior aren't you, you worthless sack of nothing! These men were real men about their business, not a pussy like you. You are the real pathetic pussy who would shit his knickers before ever climbing through those ropes.
Tyson was a complete machine here. He took two full-on solid hooks from Bruno and staggered a bit and then carried on. Anyone else would be staring at the ceiling lights
Tyson already showed lack of skills during this fight. No combo's and looking for one punch. He should have retired then. It's funny but Tyson had said after the Spinks fight he wanted to retire. He should have. He was never the boxer anymore he was under Rooney.
@DeadCubansDepartment Totally agree, not on the retirement part tho. But his skills are visibly deteriorated in this fight as they will for the rest of his career. and it was 7 months since his last fight with spinks, the hunger wasnt there anymore, his life in shambles and no one in his corner to rely on. no kevin rooney, no jim jacobs. mike was alone here
@DeadCubansDepartment I can only say that u put words on my thoughts.About his skills.ALREADY visibly eroding.FIRST fight without Rooney and u can see he`s already becoming a headhunter.About retiring?He was 24 and didn`t know then what the future had in store 4 him.As 4 all the haters i see writing shit to you,they r the ones who don`t know shit;-) The sad thing about Tysons now "fanbase" is that 60% aren`t even boxingfans.Just wannabe-gangsta`s who think 90`s Tyson was "BADASS" & cool.Sad
@TheScouserkidda I hate 2 be a "nitpicker",but isn`t Tyson born in 66?And this fight in 89.That would make him 23.... :P No,i`m sure ur right when counting months and all.Anyway 22,23 or 24.I BIT early to concider retiring.But then again,he DID say "I might not ever fight again" after the Spinksfight,so.... I wonder what his legacy would have been then?IF he had never stepped into a ring again after Spinks.
@EVILSPAWN1000 true but he was 22 at the time of this fight and if he had of retired when he said he might. then maybe he would be considerd in the top 5 heavyweights of all time
Actually ,only tyson and Tua would be able to take the ruddock shots.Not anyone else of the 90's,holyfield,lewis real fast if ruddock landed first in their fight,bowe,foreman all get taken out by those shots by ruddock but tyson nad tua had the neck circumferance/bone structure in proportion to their heights, to absorbe the blows.
This is the first fight where tyson looked slower,didnt use his muscle fiber twitching and held his head upright and just tried to ko weak chinned bruno.Even his skin and mucle tone looked pale and smooth.Tyson didnt have that ripping look in his muscles.This was the first fight to expose a declined tyson at 24 yrs old!!!
@Ahmet1445 Strange you should say that, because an American reporter who suggested that Bruno had a glass chin appeared on British TV the following day to apologise for his remarks and poay respect to Bruno's bravery. Bruno was there to fight and as for having a glass chin as you suggest, perhaps you might watch the entire fight and add up how many shots to that chin from Mike Tyson, Bruno took. It was loads and loads and he still fought back. Glass chin huh? Dumb f*cking Yank.
@Ahmet1445 I apologise. Seems like you're a dumb f*cking German. Can't get over the war can we. No Max Schmellings for you now unless you import them from the former Soviet Union. Lol!
@Ahmet1445 I appreciate that. I made the mistake of not reading your profile and jumped to an incorrect conclusion. I posted again, please read it. Meanwhile, I apologise to all intelligent US boxing fans. Both of them.
MIKE TYSON = MADE IN USA !!! bruno is a hype job from the pitiful impoverished brit isle.But hey they can always fall back on the hall of famer fraudly a-farce.
@Groyneyvision This was one of the first boxing matches I ever saw god bless you Frank u fought with guts but Tyson love him or hate was just to much. When bruno caught him in the first I remember my house erupted to those famous emotional (cant help it franks our boy) words of the great Harry Carpenter it made me fall in love with the great art of pugilsm I BLOODY LOVES IT.
This is the first fight where tyson looked slower,didnt use his muscle fiber twitching and held his head upright and just tried to ko weak chinned bruno.Even his skin and mucle tone looked pale and smooth.Tyson didnt have that ripping look in his muscles.This was the first fight to expose a declined tyson at 24 yrs old!!!Interestingly,this was his first fight WITHOUT rooney and with king!! Even rooney once said tyson made a hundred mistakes in the first round!
@bareknuckle26 Brunos legs were amazingly strong and they held him up when his weak chin gave out by many fighters.Bruno did not have a strong chin,alot like Lewis,Lewis learned how to ride punches well but when he got clipped square in the chin,he always wiggles or got knocked out.
interestingly,the brits and jamaicans have less then average chins,as a whole.
@fadethetrade the punches of which Bruno took in the tyson and the lewis fight would have knocked both lewis and tyson out. I really struggle to understand how people comment on Bruno having this glass chin and cant take a punch yet have never seen him hit the canvas. Im not a massive bruno fan he was a limited boxer but he took massive shots and was still stand there educated boxing fans will always recognise that.
@bareknuckle26 I already posted why.His legs were powerful and held him up until the cobwebs faded and he regrouped but he buckled too fast under a few punches from opponents.Ali had the same gift of powerful legs.I believe ali was out on his feet in a few of his fights but his legs allowed him to shake the cobwebs and regroup.Example,ali was knocked out by earnie shavers but his legs kept him up while he was dozing off on queer street.Tyson, on the other hand had a cast iron jaw when prepared.
@bareknuckle26 The shots tyson took from ruddock for 18 rounds would put bruno in a coma,literally! As ruddock did to smith and poor Michael Dokes was one punch from a pine box,literally!
@bareknuckle26 That's how he lost... Yes he could sustain a good beating but in the end, that beating would get to him and out he goes... A glass chin means they cannot recover from a certain type of punch! And that's why they lose. Amir Khan has a glass chin, because it will always be his weakness. Audley Harrison has a glass chin!
That´s what would have happened to the Klitchko´s, but they woulnd´t have lasted the 1st round.

@Bodybuddha mug people who lift weights are mentaly weak. They lack the bollocks so they lift weights and get big to confisate. Boxers are tough and have balls weight lifters are weak and cant fight.

Heh. Clever move. Bruno lowered Tyson's left hand defence by pressing with his head and when Mike's taking a step back immediately hitting with right hand hook before Mike can lift his hand.

Because nobody ever mention the fact that Tyson came back to fight Bruno after a pretty long lay off,
& before that fight, he had a whole lot of crazy tormoil in his life in 1988.
from Street fighting with MITCH GREEN & braking his hands, Stressed out troubles with Robin Givens, Crashing his car & gettin KO'd from the accident, & various other situations he had..
yet, in 1989, Tyson still fought a very tough bigger Bruno, & still beat him
that is incredible

In England, I remember Harry Carpenter commenting that Frank had hurt Iron Mike (at 7:26) after he gets the 2 hooks in and Mike swings for him. I don't remember seeing anyone rocking him before this fight. Frank was always a great fighter who got stuck in against Tim Witherspoon & Lennox too. I like the comments about Mike's head hunting and lack of body shots. Did Mike mainly go for Franks's head because he'd rattled him though?

Mike Tyson is a Hall of Famer simply because of how much people talk about him. For better or worse every single person on earth has something to say about the guy.
In the middle of nowhere in Namibia we ran into a bunch of little kids from a local tribe that loved Tyson. They had never seen an iPod but they knew Mike haha.

Yes-men, whores and other suck-ups. Mike explains it quite well on that documentary where he engages in pigeon-racing. For all his faults, Mike never wanted to really harm another man. Just watch that match between him an Frank Botha, it was brutal. But Mike was clearly distressed when Botha got a sever injury. Tyson at that point had fired the finest boxing-coach in the world. The nice Kevin Rooney, not the scummer playing for Manure.

Two puncher with glass jaws facing each other. I am sure the first guy who connects will KO the other guy. But for Haye, it will be unbelievably difficult to land first. Wlad just too big and will keep Haye with his Jab on the outside. Haye is very hittable, even the slow as shit Ruiz landed, so its just a mater of time till the first right hammer will land on Haye. If Haye moves in to land, Wlad will clinch. It will be an ugly and boring fight like Lewis vs Tyson.

Tyson already showed lack of skills during this fight. No combo's and looking for one punch. He should have retired then. It's funny but Tyson had said after the Spinks fight he wanted to retire. He should have. He was never the boxer anymore he was under Rooney.

@DeadCubansDepartment Totally agree, not on the retirement part tho. But his skills are visibly deteriorated in this fight as they will for the rest of his career. and it was 7 months since his last fight with spinks, the hunger wasnt there anymore, his life in shambles and no one in his corner to rely on. no kevin rooney, no jim jacobs. mike was alone here

Bruno was there to fight and as for having a glass chin as you suggest, perhaps you might watch the entire fight and add up how many shots to that chin from Mike Tyson, Bruno took. It was loads and loads and he still fought back. Glass chin huh? Dumb f*cking Yank.

bareknuckle26 1 year ago
@bareknuckle26 Brunos legs were amazingly strong and they held him up when his weak chin gave out by many fighters.Bruno did not have a strong chin,alot like Lewis,Lewis learned how to ride punches well but when he got clipped square in the chin,he always wiggles or got knocked out.
interestingly,the brits and jamaicans have less then average chins,as a whole.
fadethetrade 1 year ago
@fadethetrade the punches of which Bruno took in the tyson and the lewis fight would have knocked both lewis and tyson out. I really struggle to understand how people comment on Bruno having this glass chin and cant take a punch yet have never seen him hit the canvas. Im not a massive bruno fan he was a limited boxer but he took massive shots and was still stand there educated boxing fans will always recognise that.
bareknuckle26 1 year ago
@bareknuckle26 I already posted why.His legs were powerful and held him up until the cobwebs faded and he regrouped but he buckled too fast under a few punches from opponents.Ali had the same gift of powerful legs.I believe ali was out on his feet in a few of his fights but his legs allowed him to shake the cobwebs and regroup.Example,ali was knocked out by earnie shavers but his legs kept him up while he was dozing off on queer street.Tyson, on the other hand had a cast iron jaw when prepared.

@bareknuckle26 That's how he lost... Yes he could sustain a good beating but in the end, that beating would get to him and out he goes... A glass chin means they cannot recover from a certain type of punch! And that's why they lose. Amir Khan has a glass chin, because it will always be his weakness. Audley Harrison has a glass chin!
