Resiliency: Mike Tyson Vs Buster Douglas

[Neillintonmiller]

Makes sense. I did my BEng MSC and PHD in 7 years without burning the midnight oil. I was no where near a Straight A student at high school. Discipline was the key never forgot what I went to University for.

[EHBalfour]

You know what I hated myself for not finishing my Bachelors at the same time as my peers, but the funny thing is out of most of them, ten years later I am one of a few working towards and almost done with my Master's Degree. A lot of my friends just got the BA and stopped.

[stefeck]

definitely one of my new favorite videos. brilliant

[brocklanders1984]

Ruined @ point 4. Some of us live in a different reality. Personally I say that's bollocks but you can 'transcend' to a a much broader audience by excluding that type of (tongue-bittingly, stomach ulcer-inducingly diplomaticly phrased) 'discourse'. Mixed feelings.

[thesingerperson]

@brocklanders1984 I notice that with a couple of videos where people say that the mention of God/Christianity in general ruins it for them. But what I don't get is why after all of these good things that make sense, you feel it is ruined by something else you don't agree with. They are his beliefs and it's something that you should respect. Of course he could try to reach a broader audience, but he wouldn't be being true to his self. Another ex. Mandela's quote on our deepest fear.

[born2fight99]

where can I goes to a seminar?

[wittenberg5]

good speech BUT the list he gave at the end was the most redundant thing ever. I swear points 2-4 were all different ways of saying point 1, never quit. Sorry redudant lists are a pet peeve of mine!

[firmingitup]

I wouldn't have even known the girl was saying "wow" if not for the comments and me listening for it on the 2nd view. LISTEN TO ET'S MESSAGE AND IGNORE THE NOISE!!!

[honda1091]

thts so rude

just saying wow wowowowowowww

[Jakarta123]

what a fucking bitch stfu

[mone1303]

This is deep. Real deep. Douglass had to get that 1 for mama

[dmorris38290]

i like this but hate how he talks down to people. assumes they always miss things. "i'm going to say it again because you missed it". no, we got it carry on.

[NewDubstepNow]

@dmorris38290 These are college students believe me they have very low attention spans and they need to be snapped back if you want them to hear something.

[fgassama7]

Man this girl is annoying me just when I'm getting pumped she's throwing the waaaaa waaaaa...Its ruining my moment of connection

[FSuperPiratt]

this girl talks all the time...

[FightNightOnlineHD]

Great man this vis did realy help me!

[tegratypes]

i respect your videos sean i really really do i watch them and feel great and get inspired... but i tell you what im also a boxing fanatic and what you said about mike and buster is not true... mike was a lost man by that time... mike would have destroyed buster any day of the week if he just had one break. but i do respect what you do sean.

[ognick22]

hell i could care less if the story wasnt 100% accurate, if it motivates people to keep fighting for their dreams then thats all that matters

[catandcata]

wow wow wow

[Mikelovision]

@MrChinaldo @tdking987 - That lady is similar to the women in church that are always saying AMEN every 5 seconds. Since they are so over-emotional and moved, they are not listening to what the speaker is saying. You would think they are doing it for attention but actually they are doing it because they feel inferior to the speaker. It's quiet sad. Anyways, Great video ET!

[BilalVKing]

@Mikelovision Your right

[StayFrostyAmerica]

its funny though lol.. her mind is like so blown away by this connection XD

[tariqshabazz]

This was excellent!

[leetstyle]

it was doing real good until he brought god into it.

[ChristianOrtizTV]

@leetstyle God is Real.

[EanKutzi]

@ChristianOrtizTV Of course Horus is real...duh

[garbageman51]

@leetstyle he's a preacher

[beaterchew]

very informative vid cuz. tyson is a beast but douglas persevered. race aint nuthin but a trait. so idk y peeps is trippin...

[beaterchew]

mike said it best: "buster douglas fought a good fight."

[1223DJP]

Go past 5 and you win? That's not true at all. Clearly only a casual boxing fan and not well-versed, even if his message is a great one.

[ch3ng16]

@1223DJP NOOOO SHITT SHERLOCK!!! nobody said he was a crazy boxing fan... hes just using it as an example and im pretty sure he could care less that considering all the other points hes trying to get across

[1223DJP]

@ch3ng16 It's terribly inaccurate, however. If you're going to preach to people, at the very least, get your facts straight. Anyways, I can't be bothered. Move along.

[BiggieSmalls11111]

@1223DJP I completely agree, the generalization of his point is kinda off BUT the message in general is correct. Usually mike was out of juice by about the 5th or 6th round, that NEVER meant though that he couldnt do anything we usually got the pleasure of seeing mike box smart then, usually mike goes for the kill weaving into the inside and goes for body shots and uppercuts etc. but against tillis we seen Tyson basically shatter his theory. Cause Mike steadily whooped tillis for 12 Rds

[xpeacemaster]

@1223DJP troll gtfo

[foot3r1994]

you really think tyson was shit, remember at the time he lost he went through divorce with his wife plus he just lost his guradian tyson was drinking continuesly before the fight you clearly dont know what your talking about

[MegaBigthumbs]

@foot3r1994 STOP making excuses for Mike Tyson....He got divorce was drinking continuesly and he lost his guardian...you must be talking about cus d amato and uhh he died 5 years before that fight....Tyson was 37-0 going into the fight and he got divorced in 1989.The fight was a year later 1990. Buster Douglas MOM died 3 weeks before the fight....now stfu and stop pretending you know boxing

[foot3r1994]

ok ok ok after douglas won tyson, what did douglas do then yea next fight he had fought he lost to holyfeild, lost his belts i know you cant admit the fact that the fight he won was a fluke, these things happen you dont become a legend winning 1 fight why do you think that tyson, ali , mayweather are rated best of all time because they win consistently not temporary. besides no 1 realy knows douglas

[foot3r1994]

tyson fought douglas at 1990 right 1991 tyson when jail for 4 years, 4 years of his prime went down next time tyson lost was against holyfeield because of the headbutts tyson didnt lose everytime he went past 5 rounds this guy made tyson look like he was nothing

[foot3r1994]

only reason y busta douglas won is because mike tyson under estimated him

when tyson when to tokyo to fight him he was partying like no tomorrow plus his sparring partner dropped him before the fight

[LittleMachines]

watching this everyday is against what he is trying to communicate. HOW MANY HOURS HAVE YOU SPENT ON THESE VIDEOS!! THAT'S EATING OUT OF YOUR SUCCESS!!

[mitchal54321]

This guy inspires me. Such a great vid except for the girl who keeps saying "WOW" in the background lol

[cameronscotty21]

brother you inspire me, i am a North Carolina Substance abuse Counselor and i show your videos often to motivate my clients.... you always catch the attention of least one..............

[moneyoverbitches949]

u dont need a ph d to be successfull

[AknowledgeMusic]

Totally disagree with the Mike Tyson reference. But I still like the speech.

[paragshah2112]

10 unanswered punches will do that.

[LogicLyfe]

"I ain't the rabbit, I'm the Turtle"

That's going to be my mantra throughout college.

[provider8911]

@LogicLyfe i swear it was a hare, not a rabbit. lolol...

[tdking987]

"wow wowwww wow. wow. woww. wow. wowww"--way to mess up a speech you idiot

[blockz88]

best motivational speaker ive seen

[butterball1234abcd]

jabjab jab UPPERCUT , good shit - but tyson prime vs ali prime , ali floats like a butterfly and gets dropped like this stupid fuck giving a motivational speech - jackass nigga shut the fuck up !! go back to school u fucking worm nigga

[tat1pk]

@butterball1234abcd

You aren't successful, that's the truth. Sorry to hear that, but you can change. So do it.

[alex14theo]

wow wow wow wow wow

[PachBass]

What does he say at 7:07 to 7:14? Excuse me, I'm not native English Speaker. Thanks in advance.

[thebboysmith]

@PachBass What he says is "I ain't the rabbit, I'm the turtle. Right? I ain't the rabbit. You got some rabbit--they just quick wit' it. Right? But I'm gonna endure." What he's referring to is the old children's story about a race between a rabbit and a turtle. Even though the rabbit starts off fast, eventually the turtle wins the race by going slow and steady.

[PachBass]

@thebboysmith Thanks man. Thank you so much.

[BNUBuccaneers]

@PachBass I aint the rabbit, Im the turtle. The rabbits they are just quick with it. But I am an endurer

[ankholla4]

WHY IS THAT LADY SAYING WOW WOW WOW WOW? HAS SHE NEVER HEARD ANY OF THIS?

[lynetteb2000]

Oh this guys is awesome. If only we had this in Australia.

[frankimpa]

@lynetteb2000

Tell me about it!

[Whippet088]

@lynetteb2000 could maybe have aboriginal motivational speaker ;)

[wokzilla]

hells nah, tyson wasnt in the right state of mind

buster just got lucky

[AlSwagger]

I wish he was my dad. Imagine having that as a role model and as an inspiration.

[mcabood14]

amazing :D

[rdglionheart]

@joeminghia tyson says it himself in his doc.... i had 6 rounds to beat him he had sum lung problems growing up most his energy lasted 6 rounds after that he was burnt out

[ArianMma92]

Woooow, Wooow, Wooow, Plz shut up! Saying WOOOOW like yo crazy..

[joeminghia]

I guess you had the right idea, but as a boxing fan the whole "all you had to do to beat him was last" isn't exactly right. Tyson went the distance with Mitch Green and James Smith before this fight, neither of them won.

[vlps5122]

Sorry, but this just isn't true eric. Mike Tyson didn't lose a single fight until almost 7 years after losing to Buster Douglas, and by then he was moving out of his prime.

[magnesiumhardhitter]

i watch this every morning

[val154]

ET thank you for these videos! I'm just going to keep going and because of you no more fb no more distractions just a vision and a goal! Thanks

[MrChinaldo]

[FutebolMusicaDance]

@MrChinaldo mad annoying lol kinda ruins the good vibe

[YababaVideo]

@MrChinaldo Y'all mean LOL

[hamamo50]

@MrChinaldo she sounds hot though

[Dwritewell]

STOP AT NOTHING ... OUTLASTING IT ALL ... BEATING THE BEATERS ... SECRETS OF THE NEXT ROUNDS ... I AM AT THE LAST ROUND, I PROMISED MY MOMMA I AM GOING TO MAKE THESE MILLIONS & GET THIS LEGACY BUILT ... Ph.D (Ck) Don't STOP Typing (Ck), #BRANDINGDwriteWELL NOT GIVING UP, EVER!!! #TurtleDRIVEN #PRESSUREENTERTAINMENT

[Dwritewell]

STOP AT NOTHING ... OUTLASTING IT ALL ... BEATING THE BEATERS ... SECRETS OF THE NEXT ROUNDS

[MaaNonu123]

what a great speaker, love this guy

[FSuperPiratt]

this women talks...alot

[derkeener]

This guy inspires me weekly!!! I just keep growing every time I watch Eric!!! God bless him and all that he does for you!!!

[thirdexodus2008]

Thanks Eric, I am blessed by your talk.

[JTK12893]

everytime i lose motivation i watch your videos! and they pump me up to be the best i can be! god bless~

(but the girl who keeps saying WOW is realli annoying... LOL)

[SerbianJudo]

You're great

[wakenbakeism]

nicevideowatch thesevideo's. Search for crack city dvd!

[BiggieSmalls11111]

crazy good speaker wasnt boring or nothing this is the kinda shit everybody should be on...myself included lord knows i need jesus

[and1balla4life]

i really hope the only dislikes on this video are because it had to end because anyone who cant relate or appreciate this is living a damn sad life

[NMDrama]

Thank you for your positive words. Really lift my spirits.

[ruttysmith]

"I'm the turtle! I like Turtles!"

But it's a great motivator.

[yahoo1o1]

i like and understand this lesson, which is very TRUE. but the example of mike tyson is not! no 1 in the history that mike was dominating from rd 1 who went past rd 5 went on to beat mike, no one. douglas was beaten the hell out of mike from rd 1 on, he wasnt surviving at all, he was putting on a clinic. mike got a lucky punch to knock him down. every other fight mike lost, mike was losing from the start. sry to be a jerk, ur msg is inspirational, but as a boxing fan i wanted to point that out

[caborn]

Motivational!

[Cb28747]

our generations les brown, a black jim rohn real talk

[doesbigthings]

[monkeydanny123]

et i failed every single one of my class avering 45 percents, i WAS going to drop 2 classess until I ran into you and watched your videos, i have a soild 3.2 GPA.

THANKS FOR MAKING ME STAY ON COURSE, YOO MY HERO

[watup962]

Everything made sense except the last point. Still a great message though.

[metalhaze1982]

Mike tyson said that his career decline started in japan in 1990...

[jonathanjoe]

that "wow" bitch in the back needs to get knocked out

[psalm143]

@jonathanjoe I was thinking the same damn thing. Everything else was inspirational and on point.

[ArkLightPictures]

Thanks Eric for these videos going through a tough time in my life knowing that i have to keep plugging away at my dreams especially when looking at a pile of debts used your "Remember the father method and got myself a second job to pay of my debts so that i can then accomplish my dreams... Thanks

[Sclippers14]

that idiot who keeps wow'ng through out the whole thing makes me cringe each time i watch this video

[karim055]

@Sclippers14 thank you god somebody else heard her. damn im trying to listen and learn and all i hear is WOWWW WOOWWW like damn stfu please

[KISHATHEHOUSEFLIPPER]

@etthehiphoppreacher, How is your Ph.D. studies coming along? Please let me know if you can. I was just thinking about giving up. I am so exhausted. But I saw your other video about pain and wanting success as much as breathing and I knew I had to go on. The thing is, I am very smart. I have just been beat down. Anyway, thank you for all of your inspiration. Please keep spreading the word. Continued success.

[bigfigs05]

[jetdev5]

I watch this all the time to stay motivated!

[jetdev5]

YESSS! 

[th3contender]

that Tyson lost was the biggest upset in sports history, but to fairness to Mike, he was outta shape thanks to Don King and he fired his original trainer that knew how to train Mike properly. So when he went to fight Buster, Mike was not even half of the fighter he really was, therefore it was easy to beat him. the original Mike Tyson under Kevin Roney, no way could anyone in the 90s touch him

[sixamsedna]

I watched this video a couple of months ago and loved it. Lately, for the past couple of weeks I have been down on myself and my future. Whether I'm doing the right thing or not. About five minutes ago, out of the blue I just remembered this video and quickly rushed to see it. I just finished watching it now...and I gotta say, I needed that. A few inspiring, non-newagey words is what I needed to hear to get me back in form and correct thinking process. This is truly great.

[schmitt012345]

With all the madness going on nowadays, E, we have to be in round 10. And for most of the fight, the devil has been jabbing and hooking us, and I appreciate you saying that we have to learn how never give up, and to be resilient.

[keykey7705]

You're words have been such a blessing to me. It is 6:11 am and I am up studying for a test. I have not been to sleep in about 2 days and I was feeling defeated. I decided to look for motivation on youtube and I ran across this video! I needed this! You have a gift and I feel blessed to have come across it...I guess what I am trying to say is thank you.

[Flyboy711672005]

This is the exact mentality that Sylvster Stalones Rocky Balboa character in the Rocky movie's preaches..... keep it up, don't give up, last until you wanna give up, then don't give up... NEEEED the win!... and win

[agenthelios]

Tyson is THE KING! I met Tyson at Mandalay Bay. Great guy too. He autographed my shirt and my phone. I took some pics. Mike is King of heavyweights!

[MegaSwong]

never give up. never give up. don't ever give up

[idunnoiguess1]

Thank you so much for your words. I can't even say how much it helped me out today. Take care
