before the final knock down holmes upper cut is caught by the ropes and then gets the left hook of tyson. Poor luck maybe it was the punishment of fighting for money and just prepare his self in 4 weeks for tyson and calling him asshole
this fight says a lot about the 2 fighters personalities , holmes aged 39 gets hit by tysons best bombs and trys valiently to get up every time , a true champions mindset . go ahead in time to when tyson is in his 30s and watch the lame efforts he displays after being felled - just dogs it , would'nt even get off his chair against mcbride when it looked like he was gunna lose , and holmes was right - tyson did end up as a sob.
@isafella1 lol are you nuts watch how he took a beaten of douglas before even going down he was exhausted when he went down. And Mike never went down early only when he took insane beatings. Except his mcbride fight wich he did for money only anyway.
Robin was not even making 1%of waht mike tyson was making.she was a bitch a whore..fukin bitch and don king ruined his career.... mike was a great boxer
I never liked Robin Givens. The TV show she was on sucked. She was his reason for Losing to Buster Douglas. His dick was the reason for going to prison in my home state.
Tyson was unlucky to run into three of the most greedy people on earth.. and they killed his career (1) Don King (2) Robin Givens (3) Desiree Washington
I agree, but I also believe tyson's manager should have done a better job because i can guaruntee that robin givens wasn't making anywhere near the amount of cash tyson was bringing in. Tyson's mangaer should have told him to sign a prenup.
Tyson was the most devastating boxer in history. Because people dont like his viciousness they make up false claims that he had no skill, defense and had only power. This is crap! He clearly had all the attributes.
But his anger and hatred and immaturity ruined his career.
All these philty people benefitting of Mike's succes fucking don king and that bitch. Mike was a child minded guy he never went trough normal processes of maturation in his life. When he was 19 he could buy the fastest car on the planet. Please dont blame him for his attitude cuz life threated him this way angery and mad. He just trained hard and went out to win as quick as possible. He was the greatest mix of a boxer/puncher.
i agree. i think, those who hate tyson are just afraid of him - he really does look scary sometimes. but i'm sure, the man isn't evil. he is just.. unbalanced... i'd be glad to know him in person.
Yea he is a good guy deep inside I think but he has not been givin the respect he deserved for being an all time great athlete. He still could make millions off his name.
tyson was far to fast.. you must remember that tysons greatness was alot to do with his defence, take the fight with reggie gross. where tysons head movement was a determining factor. marciano was an old fashioned tough guy who worked his way in and knocked people out with his freakish power. tyson would slip these shots and comeback with harder and faster punches
Robin Givens and her mother were from the bowels of hell. Still Mike was he's own man and should have seen it coming, he was warned by Kevin Rooney. At his best he was the most exciting heavyweight that lived in my opinion, as for the best you can only go by how they ruled their time. For me the best was Joe Lewis, it will be a long time before someone rules for eleven years as universal heavyweight champion again.
AGREED. we liked watching Tyson ecause he was a real JAWS in the ring...it was BRUTAL and BLOODY..hardly any boxers today have the same impact he had.
If Tyson is seeing this, I just want to tell him that he was an extremely gifted heavyweight champ. He proved that size didn't matter, it was all about the skill!
I have a question about tysontalk dot com. I know that it is not free to become a gold member, but thus Tyson communicate with fans in that website, in order to answer important questions?
Since I visited the larryholmes dot com, and the website has a free message board. I think you can register freely, and Larry Holmes answer questions you have about boxing on this site. I hoping that Tyson does the same thing?
I'm pretty sure of it man when I last saw him here in Italy it was mentioned that communicating with others online seems to work better for him as he is able to control his actions allot better. Seriously he does check out these vids and comment boards on youtube and that is a fact!
In fact in the Lewis fight Lewis was surprised at how many clean power shots that he took from Lennox, he said any decent boxer would have fallen like Rahman with that one two. Mike has just lost the spirit and motivation to want to win it's not about the beating he takes. Lennox was an old friend and Mike just did him a favor, plus it was a good pay for Mike and he desperately needed it that is why he took the fight and promoted it.
The word was is that Tyson was very much in dislike with Holmes because of his actions outside of the ring with is attitude towards him and the fact that he dis respected Ali the way he did. He sure in the hell made Holmes pay that night lmfao at Holmes!
I got to had it to Holmes for showing tremendous heart against Tyson. Holmes was always a fighter, he even wanted to fight Lennox Lewis at an extremely old age. Right now, Holmes is extremely upset at George Foreman, because Foreman has refused to fight him. Who do you think would win Holmes(savyy) vs Foreman(power)?
I think Foreman would definitely knock Holmes out now mainly because Holmes will just sit there and take punishment as to him utilizing his jab the whole fight, he won't do it against Foreman now a days. Foreman actually wanted to help train Mike he said he thinks Mike still has it, well the speed and power but is lacking the motivation and will to fight because of the media and back stabbing bitches like Don King ect!!
I can understand why George Foreman wanted to help Tyson, but Tyson just doesn't have the motivation or will to continue. Tyson was already tired of getting hit, and probably he wanted to do something else with his life. Mike is a totally different person now, than what he was at his prime. I wish him good luck.
Bro Cus has said many of things that have stuck into the minds of his admirers honestly one thing is for sure he knew Mike could take a hit and he knew Mike could slip them. Mentally the only problem Mike had was outside of the ring. I asked him what bothered him most about his past and he replied with the Media and others around him who would try to control his life as if he was still a child.
It's not so much that Mike is bothered by getting hit it's the fact that emotionally he just doesn't want it anymore. He tries to find the once spirit to fight like a champ like in his younger days but after prison and all the bull outside of the ring, he basically feels if he keeps fighting then he is giving into them again (Media!). Mike has always been able to take a hit and a clean one and still fight it never bothered him.
mike was a nice guy before all that shit with robin givens happened...n then he got head fucked by don king and his cronies, as don said 'bought the nigger out in him' argh
Yeah, very true ItalianKOKING. Even though, I did like the mostrous power right hand that Shavers landed on Holmes. Shavers just didn't have the accuracy that Prime Tyson had, in order to finish Holmes with another power right hand.
I think that maybe if Shavers would have landed one or two more monstrous right hands like the one that cloked Holmes at round 7. He could have finished Holmes. Even though Holmes hates Tyson, Holmes said that Shavers hit harder. But Holmes said that Tyson knockout ratio was very dependent on his good power, and especially on his precision and speed.
Really even after Holmes got his ass knocked he still had the nerve to dis respect Mike as a human as a man. Mike has always been criticized in his career and simply put no other boxer in the history has gone through what Mike did because not only was he the youngest champ but he was in an era where leeches and back stabbers were starting to rise into the obvious. Mike was too young to be champ he shouldn't have been rushed just like Lennox said!
There maybe some truth in Holmes words, since like you said, when Tyson lost his desire, speed, and precision. Tyson started having trouble against fighters, that he could have beaten easily at his prime. Even though, the last thing to leave a fighter is his power.
I got to give it to Tyson at his prime, he was extremely balanced.
Yeah he was extremely gifted and given the oportunity to exploit those gifts too bad leeches will never be extincted. Media + Don King + Givens back stabbing = Mental breakdown for a guy who was already a sensitive person. D'amato needed more time to finish molding Mike!
I got a reply from someone saying that "Cu's said that taking a punch was largely mental. You have to be able to see it coming in order to withstand it. If you are technically solid in the defesive arena you can see the punches coming and take them." Do you know if Cu's Amdato(Tyson's ealy trainer) said these words, can you verify?
My favorite power punch has to be Shavers vs Holmes 2. My second favorite power punch is the right hand that Tyson landed on Holmes in 1:05. Tyson's power, speed, and accuracy, came all together to finally break Holmes down. Most power punchers could not brake Holmes defences, but Tyson just broked it.
Big Foreman once stated that Mike would replace Joe Frazier easily in the 70's as he also thinks Mike could beat everyone back then except of course himself! I also remember meeting big George at a Environmentalist convention in Detroit about 5 years back also a proud member Leonardo DiCaprio was there.
It was then that Foreman said all this! Such a great guy to be around Foreman is slick business man with many ideas of new creations still running through his head lol, I went and got a Foreman grill after that convention lol!!
Talking about the Foreman grill machine, I have also the grill machine. I thought the machine was going to be horrible, but it is a pretty good and clever invention. I got to give credit to George, maybe that is why he is one of the judges in that invention that always pop's at channel 7(I think?).
With all the hype (Mike displaying his actions in the pre fight conference when he bit Lewis!). If it was one thing Mike has always been good at it was selling his fights, world wide! his actions were always to draw the most attention for a better pay and to get people to expect the unexpected, man did it work beautifully!
