First round Tyson of old moving his head from side to side and getting inside. Second round on Tyson became a sitting target. What made Tyson so good in his early days was his incredible quick movement. When that went he became just another heavyweight susceptible to big uppercuts.
I saw a video where Stacey Mckinley a member of Tyson's training team said that he did not want Tyson taking this fight because he wasn't ready and not in good enough shape, but he was overruled because there was so much money involved and i suppose because they were both getting older. But Mckinley was right, Tyson was never really in this fight
OK - Tyson was past his prime. But it's worth remembering that Holyfield and the public still had him as the favourite. Lewis was brilliant here - he completely nullified Mike's attempts to get inside. It's almost painful to watch Tyson's complete humiliation.
@@HữuPhúcLêThanh Seriously? Take a look at Tyson's face at the finish. He has been beaten to a pulp. Sad to see a great champion in that condition, but it's the truth.
I lived through these years of HW greatness, but I forget how dominate Lewis was.. he took out a lot of the heavy hitters including Tyson and Briggs pretty easily!
Mike's prime was a long time ago unfortunately at the time of this fight. But we can't ignore the shape Lennox was in for this fight. They are both my favorite heavyweight boxers with a little advantage to Mike
kellyoconnor;Mike said in his book that he wasn't seriously training for this fight,but instead vacationed in Jamaica and Cuba ,screwing a dozen women and smoking pounds of marijuana in the process!! This was not '86 Tyson by ANY stretch of the imagination!!!
@@markstephens7672 This statement. This ABSOLUTELY is 100% correct. When Kevin lost Mikes ear, his downward spiral was incredible. He quit moving his head. He quit being a supreme defensive fighter and looked only for the 1 punch knockout. Still to this day, don't know why he hasn't made peace with Kevin Rooney
I'm not sure Lewis is my favourite but I agree he had it all. I don't think there has been another heavyweight that had the technical ability, ring craft, and power all at once. And that one-two... Can't fake that sound, the two is a bomb!
@@Quantumfluxfield 6'5", 245 pounds. 41 wins, 32 KO's. Agility? For a big dude he moved well in the ring. Stamina? 9 of his wins went the distance, but you could argue that because of his power, his stamina was less necessary. Weak legs? You're just making shit up now... 😂
Mike wasn't mentally prepared to fight Lewis,Yet with Don King ripping him off didn't help at all. Mike was avoiding Lewis in the 1st place, because he didn't really wanted to fight Lewis that's why it took so long for them to make it happen.Persides that...Mike Tyson's a monster with his brutally punches and Lewis is like Ali and Hollyfield "Cool and Viscious"!
The Greatest Heavyweight bout of all boxing history, and LL is the most complete heavyweight boxer of all time. No man’s getting past big Len’s jab. After what MT did to Holyfield and biting big Len’s knee, I wanted big Len to hurt MT badly and throw in some illegal blows in the bargain. But to big Len’s credit, he kept his cool the entire fight and did it with the style of a true gentleman, and the spirit of a warrior on top of the world. That’s one of the reasons he’s the most complete HW boxer ever, he always kept his cool, was 100% professional, outclassed every opponent he ever faced, overcame adversities, set backs and challenges against the odds. And he made the right business minded decisions at the right times. He denied MT a rematch, to not let him get a handout. Big Len proved his status at the top of HW boxing history and didn’t need to get back into the ring with an animal like MT. He could retire and make more than enough money from his legacy and business investments. His success as only 1 of 3 undisputed HWs of all time, seals his crown. But everything else about him, is what makes him the most complete HW ever. He’s a wise, gracious and honourable human being, not naturally the most talented boxer who ever put on gloves. But as he said himself, “I’m like a fine wine that matured slowly and gets better with age.” He crafted his skills and forged his career, as perfectly as anyone could and has done. He honed his jab to be the best jab in history and he always fought as perfect a game plan in every fight as there could be. With a couple of blips that’s only human and to me made him an even better fighter, bc he could never afford to take it easy, he always had to train relentlessly and cane back stronger each time. That’s the test of a true warrior. “It’s not how much you can give, or how hard you can hit your opponent that’s most important. It’s how much you can take and keep moving forwards.” Rocky. The only fighters who are on Big Len’s level are Ali, Marciano and Usyk. Who’s yet to defend his crown as of today. If he does beat Fury again, he’ll be equal to Big Len as a complete boxer. As he’s also the undisputed cruiser champ. Big Len fought against the greats of the greatest era in boxing. So he’s still the most complete HW, even if Usyk beats Fury again, which personally I doubt highly. For reasons that I won’t divulge atm. If Usyk beats Fury and then defends his crown again once more, then he’ll be the most complete HW ever, just a thin slither above Big Len. But if they ever fought each other even now, let alone 20 years ago. We all know that Big Len would easily destroy Usyk.
Mike wasn't mentally ready for this fight he would have got paid more for trash talking then doing the work you always have to keep your old family around
Tyson was an old man; boxing wise at the time of this fight. It’s just like Holmes was an old man when Tyson fought him. Btw Holmes deserves more credit than he gets. Holmes was the only one that came close to tying Rocky Marciano’s record. Not Ali, Tyson, Holyfield,
I watched this fight long ago,we waited for it bcoz of different times zone in Africa it played at 04am in the morning live,this was Mike Tyson's last fight 2002 june
I've not watched all of Mike's fights, but I've seen some doozies. He's a beast. I saw this fight years ago, but watching it again, what a let down. Lennox made this look easy. If Mike brings this performance to Jake Paul, he's going to get embarrassed.
Yet… Tyson is still around in the news about to fight again. Where’s Lennox? This is actually the only fight I’ve seen with Lennox. And he keeps clinching. A fire? He seems to just be a firecracker up a frogs butt.
@@thomashenshallhydraxis you said yourself this is the _only_ fight you've seen with Lennox. Probably best to check out his other fights. He was fantastic in his prime.
Easy to see mike had already lost his will to fight. In this fight he is a shadow of his prime. Lewis would of fell like all the others if they met when mike was prime.
he was done after round 1. If tyson couldnt knock his opponents out in the first few rounds he always looked lethargic and disinterested and discouraged for the rest of the fight, even in his wins that went thr distance. I used to think due to the fact he got inside on lewis so easily in this fight and just didnt work when he did, a prime tyson would easily beat lewis, but tbh tyson was never a good inside fighter, and probably prime tyson vs lewis is just as likely to go the way of buster douglas and tyson. but could go either way, i just dont have much faith in tyson's heart even in his prime
Tyson wasn’t mentally and physically ready. Tyson tried hard the 1st round but Lewis hugged and laid on Tyson until Mike gave up. Not to mentioned all the underhanded tactics Lewis used for the rest of the fight. Mike wasn’t mentally there anymore and was just waiting for the fight to be over.
I stand to differ with many, what i see here is a nasty fight where the other fighter is allowed to hold, lean and jump over the shorter fighter. That's against the rules of boxing match. Tyson got tired because Lewis mount his heavier body over him. Look at Holmes vs Mercer, Holmes vs McCall, Tyson vs Tills, Lewis vs Mercer there were no such holding, leaning and jumping over other fighter. Lewis also did this to Holyfield2, he pushed and grabbed.
@Billyjo44 Considering Lewis was a year older than Tyson in this fight at 36 almost 37 short by 3 months and Tyson was 35, I don't think that's so easy to say. If Tyson was in his Prime, Lewis also would of been in his Prime. Lewis has a massive reach on Tyson and he's also 7 to 8 inches taller and out weighs him by 15 to 20 lbs. That tells the story right there. Tyson couldn't get near him, for Lewis it was like swatting flys with a bat, his arms are so long... ( & I'm a Big Tyson fan ) but it is what it is...
Takut? 😅😅😅 kalau Lenox melawan tyson sejak dulu karir tinjunya tyson tidak panjang umur. Sebenarnya tyson sudah habis ketika dia dihajar oleh douglas dgn KO di ronde 10. 😅😅😅
The only thing that was different is that Lewis was facing better competition than Tyson. He turned all of his losses into wins. Something Tyson could never do.
@@coding-is-fun101his prime ended 1988....Lewis turned pro 1989....four years after MT did. MT avoided top opposition Bowe Tua Morrison Foreman Ibeabuchi Mercer both Klitschko's Briggs Mcall Rahman etc
Tysons prime was 2 or 3yrs. That wasn't Lewis's fault. Tyson paid him 4 million to step aside. How many top boxers did Tyson avoid. Most of them. Lewis never turned away from a fight. He put everything on the fight against Tyson when no one would give him a fight.
I agree, the Iron man was one solid, scary man. I think he would of beat everyone.. George Foreman in his prime maybe. Or Marciano in his prime, are the only one's i can think of who would of troubled Tyson in his peak, young prime.
@boxing fan uk Because the other dude said 15 years ago. But you confirmed that Lennix Lewis wasn't even a professional boxer 15 years ago so, I thought it was a little humorous.
He smoked bone crusher and Tucker was unbeaten in like 11 years straight leading up to that fight. Tucker fought a good fight and Tyson wasn’t throwing many combos till the last couple rounds and virtually no head movement. A lot of people ducked Tucker so acting like he was a chump is ignorant.
@@hi-dl4kw all good. you make great points.but you always have to give an all time great a chance.thats why they are more special than just good fighters

Fear was one of mikes biggest punches. Putting fear into your feignts is massive as an advantage...when the mystique went. Mike followed. Also .f**k Coke for taking mike away from us. That ego giving soul stealing shit took more fighters than fists
Finish?If Tyson knocked out Clifford in less than a round a few years later.. Lewis is a boxing monster but Tyson was the feared Beast, he mentally fought out of boxing after five years... otherwise Lewys would not have beaten him so easily not even by jury decision.

@boxing fan uk Because the other dude said 15 years ago. But you confirmed that Lennix Lewis wasn't even a professional boxer 15 years ago so, I thought it was a little humorous.
People forget Tyson did Time
Very good
ดูไฟต์นี้แล้ว ใครๆ อย่าคิดเอาไทสันไปเทียนอาลี โฟร์แมนอีกล่ะ สงสารไทสันน่ะ โดนหนักสุดในชีวิต ลูิอิสก็อย่างโหดเลย
This wasn't Tyson prime
He almost lost to tony tucker, and he was still fresh during that period.
And crushersmith
@@CognitoCognito-rh3bu yeah, i watched Smiths fight this evening..
Talk about Sur Hugs Alot😂😂😂
He smoked bone crusher and Tucker was unbeaten in like 11 years straight leading up to that fight. Tucker fought a good fight and Tyson wasn’t throwing many combos till the last couple rounds and virtually no head movement. A lot of people ducked Tucker so acting like he was a chump is ignorant.
Lewis would have still won
Just like Buster, Lennox took Tyson into the deep water and watched him drown.
i say holmes in his prime would of done same thing to mike larrys jab was the best ever
@@hi-dl4kw lmao holmes had one of the greatest chins in heavyweight history. look how he took shavers best punch got up and kod him
@@hi-dl4kw all good. you make great points.but you always have to give an all time great a chance.thats why they are more special than just good fighters
Clueless casuals this was tyson worst performance is you know anything about boxing let this be prime tyson lewis wouldn't be in the water
funny- i thought getting busted by Buster was Mikey's his worst performance...hard to choose between them. Mikey's "primetime" was when he was sitting in jail for rape.
Tyson knew half way through the first round he is going to get beaten up
Lewis just holds & leans on Tysons head & back.
Lewis fought tyson when tyson career was over he wouldn't have laid a glove on mike in Mike's prime mike tyson the best heavyweight ever
Fanboy Crybaby 😂😢😅
And you're a real goofy MF. Wake yo ass up Slim.😂😂
Lennox wasn't In his prime.
Lennox was older... What are you talking about? 😂
This fight happened 7 years too late. Much like Mayweather-Pacquiao.
They were same age
You gotta respect mike.He did not quit.Mike wasn't in shap.
Tyson was done at 25-26yrs old

Mike Tyson overrated
@@deanbell300 Very good writen. I think he is overrated too. But I think you forgot the Klitschkos at their prime. I think Especially Vitali Klitschko could have won vs Tyson. Klitschko wants to fight vs Tyson for years, but the management from Tyson has allways excuses why Tyson can't fight.
@@deanbell300 you really think all his wins and his skill were overrated? I respectfully disagree but I think I'll always be biased because as a kid Tyson was the scariest man on the planet to me
@@winsalot84
Mike Tyson a talent no doubt hand speed and power combo
But Mike Tyson also had flaws for a heavyweight short arms and trying to rely to much on his knockout power and started getting hit more in late 80s and 90s
Mike style fun to watch and build for youth
When Mike Tyson lost his speed he wasn't as good
Mike Tyson was kinda of one dimensional
I called Mike Tyson overrated because hes lost all his big fights to fighters in his era Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield
And because people try to put Mike Tyson on the levels of Muhammad Ali
I dont think Mike Tyson a top 5 heavyweight all time
Mike Tyson somewhere in the top 10
But to try to put Mike Tyson top 5 is overrating him
@@deanbell300 I can see that. He's in my 5 but I told you why already, lol. Good chat brotha
I remember I was dreaming of fighting with Tyson, and I woke up with black eyes
SO SAD TO SEE A GHOST OF IRON MIKE
Mike Tyson said I'm glad you gave me a chance, an I'm glad that lewis won 😂. As he wasn't scared of mike Tyson 😂.
Fear was one of mikes biggest punches. Putting fear into your feignts is massive as an advantage...when the mystique went. Mike followed. Also .f**k Coke for taking mike away from us. That ego giving soul stealing shit took more fighters than fists
Very interesting box fight!
Lenox Lewis is best in skill and power dominating completely.
Tyson is spent by round 2
Clon 100 de 100 y reprogramación exacta para Tyson
I love Lewis but I did not like how he was not talked abt has one of the best of all time.
That pre-fight polling was way off the mark. Those punters must have thought it was 10 years earlier.
This wasn't Tyson anymore, he lost the energy, he just about the money at this point
This is a big victory. Lewis is a great jabber
Wow ,wow Lennox Lewis you finish Mike Tyson .54% says you couldnt but you did it.😮
Finish?If Tyson knocked out Clifford in less than a round a few years later.. Lewis is a boxing monster but Tyson was the feared Beast, he mentally fought out of boxing after five years... otherwise Lewys would not have beaten him so easily not even by jury decision.
Mike knew Lennox was a beast from jump.
Tyson understands
Iron Mike didn't want want to hurt his buddy. If he wanted to hurt him, he would've. 😢
Or could he 😂
Dude, get help. Tyson was done fron the start 🙄
Nonton sampai ronde ke dua saja.. Bosen terlalu banyak peluk pelukan.. Kurang seru..
Not bad considering Lennox Lewis had to fight both Mike Tyson, and the referee.
And I knew I had won my bet before the fight began because you only have to look in the fear on Mike Tyson's face
Fear …..You fool!…. Fear is being able to watch two gladiators with pure heart go to battle and sit around at home whilst keyboard commenting on one of the greatest fighters of all time and say
he had fear 😂😂😂
@@29JTAC Yes but you haven't seen were I live or my home trust me I'm no fool 😊 plus i won my bet 😂
Tyson's life is a mess and he looks terrible in the ring, he's just trying to pay off his debts
The good old days 😢
