IRON MIKE TYSON THE GREATEST OF OUR TIME

Michael Gerard "Mike" Tyson (also known as Malik Abdul Aziz) (born June 30, 1966)

former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and holds the record as the youngest boxer to win the WBC, WBA and IBF world heavyweight titles, he was 20 years, 4 months and 22 days old

Tyson won his first 19 professional bouts by knockout, with twelve of them occurring in the first round.

He won the WBC title in 1986 after defeating Trevor Berbick by a TKO in the second round. In 1987, Tyson added the WBA and IBF titles after defeating James Smith and Tony Tucker. He was the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold and only Heavyweight to individually unify the WBA, WBC and IBF titles.

In 1988, Tyson became the lineal champion when he knocked out Michael Spinks in the first 91 seconds of the fight. Tyson successfully defended the world heavyweight championship nine times, including victories over Larry Holmes and Frank Bruno. Tyson lost his titles to 42-to-1 underdog James "Buster" Douglas on February 11, 1990, in Tokyo, Japan, by a knockout in round 10.Tyson made his professional debut as an 18 year old on March 6, 1985, in Albany, New York. He defeated Hector Mercedes via a first round knockout

Tyson's first nationally televised bout took place on February 16, 1986, at Houston Field House in Troy, New York against journeyman heavyweight Jesse Ferguson. Tyson knocked down Ferguson with an uppercut in the fifth round that broke Ferguson's nose. During the sixth round, Ferguson began to hold and clinch Tyson in an apparent attempt to avoid further punishment. After admonishing Ferguson several times to obey his commands to box, the referee finally stopped the fight near the middle of the sixth round. Initially ruled a win for Tyson by disqualification (DQ) of his opponent, the ruling was subsequently "adjusted" as a win by technical knockout (TKO) after Tyson's corner protested that a DQ win would end Tyson's string of knockout victories, and that a knockout would have been the inevitable result. The rationale offered for the revised outcome was that the fight was actually stopped because Ferguson could not (rather than would not) continue boxing.

haha funny considering Buster Douglas didnt want a rematch with Tyson why? because he knew Tyson took him lightly and thought of him as a easy win and Douglas knew that Tyson would train harder than ever to avenge that loss and every fighter gets knocked downif he hadnt been worried about the mouth piece then maybe he could have gotten up and Douglas would have felt a serious Tyson's wrath

@VEEXTMGRIZZLEY1977 Maybe you were limited because you repeated every knockout 20 times, not the time cap. Just do it once in regular speed and once in slow motion. We can rewind if we want to watch it again, but seeing every clip a dozen times interrupts the flow of the video. Nice clips, though.
