I used to get angry at Richard Steele for stopping fights prematurely, or at least that's what I thought. Now that I'm older and wiser and revisit these fights, I would have to admit that Richard Steele did the right thing when a boxer was getting hit this hard. He may have saved a lot of lives and prevented a lot of traumatic brain injuries. God bless him for that.
@@paul-ie6wi im 16 turning 17 this year.. born super late but i wish i was in your days back then where i could actually watch the mike tyson fight in his prime. you making me feel jealous xD
Gervonta Davis is closest. Watched a video on his southpaw style today, and he’s immaculate at how much he mixes up other people’s styles, respectfully, but adds his own modifier to his unique movements. Dude is a puppet master in the ring
I'm 39 years old, and remember staying up late watching iron Mike fight with my dad. My dad has always been a big boxing fan. I show my boys Mike's highlights and often tell them, how powerful he was, and still is!!! When he hit people it was seeing someone get hit by a train! One of my all time favorite athletes!!
Every time I watch Mike's fights, that instinct to retreat for defense just isn't present. He just uses his skill and strength to make sure his opponent can't even blink for a second
If you ever seen Hajmi no ippo. A boxer named Date was tormented for I think 4 years mentally from a loss he had with a vicious boxer named Ricardo Martinez. Date wanting nothing more then to rematch Ricardo Martinez tho it was almost career suicide. Bruno was tormented by that loss like every boxer is when they lose very very badly. Bruno seen this opportunity to try and bury the ghost that tormented him all those years. Hope that make sense.
@@BigOwl44But Bruno didn't lose "very very badly". He lost a good fight to a better fighter. No shame in that. Unless ofc you need to believe you are the worlds greatest.
The pure truth to Mike Tysons downfall and his decline in boxing is a single reason. Don King. The minute King got his hands on Tyson is when everything declined. Don King is nothing more than a pure "Snake" in the boxing world. Period!!
Well, there are many other Boxers that fought under direct influence of Don King and didn't end up as Mike. Lets be honest... Mike was a tremendous Boxer but wasn't actually a smart guy. If he would have been smarter, he would easily become the greatest ever...
Steele was known to be a ref that would stop boxing matches prematurely, he was hated at the time. I've seen boxers that were nearly knocked out come back to knock out their opponent, but not since the 80's- early 90's. Maybe he saved their life, maybe he cheated them out of glory and a big pay day.
You have a funny way of putting it. 👍🏼 I always hate it when a boxer is clingy with his opponent, it takes the velocity and the dynamics out of the match and I think it’s cowards behavior. That’s why I will never consider Cassius Clay as the greatest boxer, because he ALWAYS hung on his opponent to get him out of his rhythm. In one way he was the greatest of all times; the greatest “hugger” in the boxing ring. Putting it in your style: Cassius Clay was the greatest in spreading love to his opponents in the ring 😂😂😂
Mike will forever be the best fighter hands down. The heavyweights back then were brutal. Had the pleasure to watch a few of Mike’s fights live back in the 90’s. Crazy

I was about 4 years old. I'll never forget it. I loved Frank Bruno. I remember before the fight, my big bro said to me "I don't think Frank's gonna win this one." I remember thinking nothing will beat Frank cos to me he was like Rocky 🥊 and I remember hating Mike Tyson so much all throughout my childhood😂 but when I was old enough to understand boxing I realised what a f**kin outstanding boxer Mike is and I was so lucky to witness such an amazing fight live on TV late at night (my mum let me stay up)😊👊🥊
What a great era it was to live through. The excitement and adrenaline rush at the start of each of Tyson's fights in the '90s was unmatched. Absolute legend.
Hahaha for real, he was so cold and unassuming in the pre-fight interviews, like he didn't even attempt to argue with words, you could literally just see that look in his face like let him talk lol... He ain't gonna be talking in the ring hahaha
Bruno used logic and reason to make his assumptions. However Boxing is about things beyond reason and logic, it's full of emotion translated into power and determination. Traits that are immeasurable but are there nonetheless.
I remember watching both fights live. Bruno was adored by English fans for his humble demeanor but nobody thought he realistically stood a chance even in his second fight when it was obvious that Tyson before and after prison were not the same boxer. Between the ages of 19 and 23, Tyson remains the most explosive, destructive boxer I have ever seen fight.

Yeh I was expecting like a 30 second Spinks bit..Truth is..he had Mike a little rattled @ first and was starting to slow him down..then things started to go bad..then he got spinksed. But definitely far more impressive than most I have seen from his early career.
Tyson was never a big puncher. Only barely a heavyweight. One of the reasons he never won against a big name in the division. Frank was a lovely man. A gentleman. Never a great, but nearly won this one. I remember it well. Could have gone either way.
That's FALSE! Mike Tyson did not become the youngest Heavyweight Champion by age 22. Mike Tyson became the youngest Heavyweight Champion by AGE 20! Someone needs to recheck Tyson's history and get the info correct.

@@BigDilf3 Yes he did. He became champ after cus died. Don King got to Tyson and made Tyson fire Rooney and stop using his peak-a-boo style. that's why he started losing. Even if cus had still been alive, given what happened with Rooney, Tyson still probably would have gone off the deep end. Tyson was never very self sufficient and even in his best fights you can hear Rooney calling out the shots for Tyson to throw that end up knocking out Tysons opponents. Tyson just wasn't as good as he made himself seem at the height of his career.
And Tyson started using drugs in later years of his career besides his marriage failing,but things can go wrong when you give a young 20 something 200-400 million, sometimes a bad combination, he'll I'm old now but if I won 10 million, I would get tempted maybe to,minus the drugs of course 😂😂😂.
I know that young mike would hate himself for even talking with that sleaze ball. He hated people like that. And he is kissing with them now for 20 mills 😂. By young mike i mean pre prison. He never returned the same and i am really curious did he really did something or it was politics. Such talent,knowledge,and boxing iq destroyed by prison, woman and drugs. He is probably not the best ever, but he is the best boxing 20 year old that ever lived and will ever live. Those beggining few years were really something
Mike is one bad dude. I love watching him box. I remember his fight with buster douglas. Everyone in my family rooted on douglas ( as we're from ohio ) but I rooted for Mike. He will always be my favorite❤❤❤ he just destroyed the opponents
I remember that fight, so well. I was sipping on some Southern Comfort until I saw Mike's feet come up off of the canvas, and his mouthpiece go flying. I just turned up the bottle, not believing what I had just witnessed!! 😳😂 Wow!! It still just doesn't seem like reality whenever you watch Iron Mike's Highlights!! 😮
As wonderful as Tyson was here, the commentator is correct; this is the last we saw of Tyson's greatness and that's a shame because he was great. That said, I like the man he's become. He's a fountain of wisdom much like his mentor Cus D'Amato.
Hes still a Monster when compared to the average person...not in a demeaning sense but getting hit by him would suck...i look forward to it. -Arkillious
@stephenlathrop4908 not a monster regarding demons but the prowess as a measure of physically imposing ones will upon another. Something I look forward to. As there is still so much fight left in him.
You're so right, it's not just about his career but what kind of human he became. I love his personality now, so he's not only been a monster when fighting, but also a monster (positive way) as a human being.
Exquisite touch with the call of duty sound effect every time he connects a punch. That should be standard, some people don’t understand boxing or miss a crucial blow
frank bruno what a physique!tyson had brilliant technique but people forget that mike tyson was also built like a rhinoceros.!man,that was brutal.imagine getting into an argument on a railway sration with a guy,who you tower over and getting demolished he was just an awesome killing machine!
Man I Could Watch Tyson fights all night Like I’m doing right now ! The power that man had was incredible ! It’s a lot of fun watching his fights so Thank You Whoever Put these fights On You Tube And Thank You Iron Mike For All Those Entertaining Fights !!!
Tyson beat Bruno twice. Their second fight was Bruno's last. When he fought Tyson he won 31 of his 32 fights by knockout but had two losses as well. His second loss was for the WBC title
Mike Tyson - my absolute favourite of all time; no-one else comes close. Personally I think he is one of the all time greats; if not THE all time great.
@@quakeaboveall5048 yea he had too much muscle and not enough stamina, but he still took shots from prime mike. if that was either one of us we wouldn't have made it past the first round. 🤷♂
He was hugging Mike the entire match both times lmaooo,,, he couldn't go toe to toe with combinations against Mike.,, I thought he would've learned to keep his mouth shut after the 1st time Mike beat him
This kids will never know the feeling of being around when iron mike was in his prime the whole world will pay to see him on ppv I'm glad I witness his fights unbelievable
Its so satisfying every time. Watching back the press conferences for tyson fights, hearing his opponents talk so confidentally and then they get their brains pounded in by Iron Mike. Every time lmao god damn
I loved frank, wanted him.to win so much. Remember that fight. Bruno momentarily catching him but not being able to follow it up. Mind you Mike is an absolute legend of the division and there is no shame. Great memories
He lasted 5 rounds and had the heart of a Lion never backing down and walked/fought so hard through the fear no doubt he must have felt. Thats a fighter. Proper fighter Harry
That's what kept him from being the greatest. When he didn't have cus or rooney controlling and directing him, he didn't have the discipline or mindset to be that great on his own.
So intense when you see Mike looking at his opponents eye to eye. God that must have been scary for the other guy lol. A tiger about to eat you kinda look. Chills* down my spine seeing those moments.
It was a life's pleasure and honor to see Mr. Tyson peraonally in real life in Portland, Oregon years ago. Thanks for everything Champ. Love Yah, Christopher 😅😊🎉
1:52 "More and more, Tyson began to appear in scandalous news. Papers." This AI narrator is so good, you couldn't even tell it was AI except in the parts where there's a typo in the script.
Frank Bruno was known to be a Bad A** fighter when i was growing up in the late 80s and early 90s. At the time he was really loved and respected by the British People, and seeing him how he took Mike Tyson's Punishment on his feet, shows how strong an athlete Frank was at the time... great fight.
People like Bruno and Ruddock are known as people that Tyson beat… anyone who knew what those guys were about know how crazy that is…. What a feat that is for Tyson.
I watched this in the basements of a friends house and remember it vividly, of course we were used to Mike's fights ending quickly and we wouldn't blink or look away from the TV from start to finish! Open your beer without looking and hold that piss! 😆
I used to get angry at Richard Steele for stopping fights prematurely, or at least that's what I thought. Now that I'm older and wiser and revisit these fights, I would have to admit that Richard Steele did the right thing when a boxer was getting hit this hard.

I remember that fight, so well. I was sipping on some Southern Comfort until I saw Mike's feet come up off of the canvas, and his mouthpiece go flying. I just turned up the bottle, not believing what I had just witnessed!! 😳😂 Wow!! It still just doesn't seem like reality whenever you watch Iron Mike's Highlights!! 😮
As wonderful as Tyson was here, the commentator is correct; this is the last we saw of Tyson's greatness and that's a shame because he was great. That said, I like the man he's become. He's a fountain of wisdom much like his mentor Cus D'Amato.
Hes still a Monster when compared to the average person...not in a demeaning sense but getting hit by him would suck...i look forward to it.
-Arkillious
I think he's always been a wise man. He just learned to beat his demons.
@stephenlathrop4908 not a monster regarding demons but the prowess as a measure of physically imposing ones will upon another. Something I look forward to. As there is still so much fight left in him.
You're so right, it's not just about his career but what kind of human he became. I love his personality now, so he's not only been a monster when fighting, but also a monster (positive way) as a human being.
@jonasurbach8275 to put it in perspective, Even God knows Who Mike Tyson is. Can't say the same for Others on the Thread.
Mike's my GOAT. Speed, Power, Ferociousness, Looks and Build of the perfect fighter.
* ferocity🎉
Zip it up when you’re done
oh i wouldent say perfect, man just honed his craft
@@reed7562 dreams of Mike giving the BBC to his bum
1:13 that sound 😂😂😂
Even Mike Tyson's punches sounded different on TV. Pure bombs , Bruno is nice bloke in real life & loved in the UK.
This video has sound effects added to them.
@@1971jmorenoYeah and it's super lame
Each one of Tyson's punches, sounded like a Punt, in an NFL game!
Interestingly, Frank had more success in pantomime.
Tyson's shorter stance and reach made him a beast in the clinch with his uppercuts. Would have been scary trying to separate them as a ref
Exquisite touch with the call of duty sound effect every time he connects a punch. That should be standard, some people don’t understand boxing or miss a crucial blow
"It's interesting that mr bruno is talking very brave and courageous... but we'll see" ~ Mike Tyson
Articulate and concise, calm and composed
The legend still stands! Ten toes down
frank bruno what a physique!tyson had brilliant technique but people forget that mike tyson was also built like a rhinoceros.!man,that was brutal.imagine getting into an argument on a railway sration with a guy,who you tower over and getting demolished he was just an awesome killing machine!
At 22 I was getting hammered at the bar. Tyson is knocking out the baddest men on the planet. Ridiculous
@G4O0 I see you and I have a lot in common then. 🤣
@G4O0 yeah you are an absolute nobody.
We gonna act like Mike wasn't drinking, and doing hella coke
@G4O0what are you?
You got hammered at the bar by Tyson? What drugs were you on.
Those punches come from a place of true pain
"IRON" MIKE was,and will always be remembered!
I enjoyed watching Iron Mike. There hasn’t been another like him since.
Ya boxing is about scoring points now and less about kos its boring as hell
@@djereturns11ikr
Bruno looked like a Beast, but No Match for The Real Beast.
Just like ol' Bob Sapp!
Bruno had a glass jaw
No match for a MONSTER
@@JosefGoochMongster
Bruno looked like a Beast, but he became the FEAST
Man I Could Watch Tyson fights all night Like I’m doing right now ! The power that man had was incredible ! It’s a lot of fun watching his fights so Thank You Whoever Put these fights On You Tube And Thank You Iron Mike For All Those Entertaining Fights !!!
Tyson beat Bruno twice. Their second fight was Bruno's last. When he fought Tyson he won 31 of his 32 fights by knockout but had two losses as well. His second loss was for the WBC title
"I'm just gonna Be throwing punches with bad intentions ".....Savage Iron Mike 💯💪
Bruno hugged Tyson more than his own mother.
🤣
Lol.Ii actually laughed out loud
Hahahahaha. 🎉🎉🎉🎉That was funny as fuck
So annoying😆
Jake would never survive in that era
true
Frank Bruno was and still is the most humble and nicest person ever to box.
Who’s here after the fight
And I quote; "I'm going to be throwing punches with bad intentions" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mike Tyson - my absolute favourite of all time; no-one else comes close. Personally I think he is one of the all time greats; if not THE all time great.
not only stepped in the ring with iron mike, but stood his own, Bruno got heart.
He was a hugger😂
@@quakeaboveall5048 yea he had too much muscle and not enough stamina, but he still took shots from prime mike. if that was either one of us we wouldn't have made it past the first round. 🤷♂
Still a hugger clown 🤡@@chappell10690
He was hugging Mike the entire match both times lmaooo,,, he couldn't go toe to toe with combinations against Mike.,, I thought he would've learned to keep his mouth shut after the 1st time Mike beat him
Tyson had way more
This kids will never know the feeling of being around when iron mike was in his prime the whole world will pay to see him on ppv I'm glad I witness his fights unbelievable
Bruno was so much bigger, it seemed unfair, but Mike’s toughness and skill were worthy of such an opponent.
Its so satisfying every time. Watching back the press conferences for tyson fights, hearing his opponents talk so confidentally and then they get their brains pounded in by Iron Mike. Every time lmao god damn
I think they are trying to convince themselves
I loved frank, wanted him.to win so much. Remember that fight. Bruno momentarily catching him but not being able to follow it up. Mind you Mike is an absolute legend of the division and there is no shame. Great memories
Hats of to the ref! Very good stoppage!
Came to say the same thing. As soon as he quit blocking he called it.
exactly what i thought
Frank be hugging Tyson more then his own wife
😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂Zz
He lasted 5 rounds and had the heart of a Lion never backing down and walked/fought so hard through the fear no doubt he must have felt. Thats a fighter. Proper fighter Harry
The biggest difference was Tyson wasn't just a boxer he was a killer.
and a rapist
That's what kept him from being the greatest. When he didn't have cus or rooney controlling and directing him, he didn't have the discipline or mindset to be that great on his own.
So intense when you see Mike looking at his opponents eye to eye. God that must have been scary for the other guy lol. A tiger about to eat you kinda look. Chills* down my spine seeing those moments.
2:42 “His mind is not in the game.” **Tyson drenched in sweat**
It was a life's pleasure and honor to see Mr. Tyson peraonally in real life in Portland, Oregon years ago. Thanks for everything Champ. Love Yah, Christopher 😅😊🎉
1:52 "More and more, Tyson began to appear in scandalous news. Papers." This AI narrator is so good, you couldn't even tell it was AI except in the parts where there's a typo in the script.
I was in 3rd grade when Buster Douglas beat Mike Tyson, and I remember it like it was yesterday!!!
Frank Bruno was known to be a Bad A** fighter when i was growing up in the late 80s and early 90s. At the time he was really loved and respected by the British People, and seeing him how he took Mike Tyson's Punishment on his feet, shows how strong an athlete Frank was at the time... great fight.
Mike Tyson was the best boxer at his weight in history,,I never get tired of watching him and still watch his fights regularly
Bruno fights with rage and emotions. Mike fight to win or lose just fight . Both are good fighters. Body advantage and disadvantage.
Trauma doesn't leave a person. Some times it will come out in the form of violence. Lets fucking go Mike.
People like Bruno and Ruddock are known as people that Tyson beat… anyone who knew what those guys were about know how crazy that is…. What a feat that is for Tyson.
I love the way they hug each other after exchanging blows expressing their happy gratitude😂.
Ayo it’s our president!! 1:40
Watching this video exactly 35 years since this fight. Love to see how much Iron Mike has grown!
Tyson’s look at 3:22 is utterly terrifying. Peak Mike in KO machine mode
Mike is a history..he deserved to be continuosly watched.
Mike's my favorite boxer of all time.. ❤🇵🇭
I watched this in the basements of a friends house and remember it vividly, of course we were used to Mike's fights ending quickly and we wouldn't blink or look away from the TV from start to finish! Open your beer without looking and hold that piss! 😆
😂🤣😅 fr!
Next: When Mike Tyson proved his fists mean nothing against money
Mike Tyson is the the destroyer is the best that ever lived
Mike Tyson is one of kind boxer!
Young, hungy, Tyson was a terrifying sight. He is that rare combination of everything necessary to be a perfect boxer.
I'm inspired by the stories of athletes who overcame adversity and achieved greatness.
Super Video 👍👍👍
You can't even hear Bruno's punches but Tyson's sound like muffled gunshots
Man mike back then was a monster.....still is!
Still
Meanwhile, in the thumbnail Bruno looks like he's 30cm taller (while only 15) and his body is Photoshopped as hell to look like double pumped.
Yes, EVERYONE knows this. Everything is going to be alright.
Bruno was a decent guy and boxer too
