Biggs had been a flamboyant Olympic super heavy by the time he fought tyson drugs had already robbed him of his skills and ability.he was winning this fight but credit to Gary who was a very powerful and strong fighter he ko"d him.God rest Gary's soul in heaven a fine man.and Biggs is a great man to this day a man of class and dignity to the fool who said no one knows who he is and he buys scratch cards,well I'm in England and I know who he is
What could have been if my man had more pop in his punch defense was shaky maybe the partying took it's toll before Tyson he was on binges and Tyson just ruined what confidence he had in himself but who really knows anything but here it was the 💰 money across the seas he knew he was going to get paid regardless!
Biggs actually lives in my neighborhood here in philly and im pretty sure hes broke. I see him in the corner store buying scratch offs all the time. no one even knows who he is.. pretty sad
Very very sad that,if he had the stamina to keep a stepping jab going against Tyson may have been a different fight but his legs got tired ,think he beat Lewis in the games
Two points here for me: 1.) Biggs didn't have the heart or the body to compete with Tyson, Holyfield, or Lewis in that era. I would guess his well documented issues with alcohol and drugs caused that. 2.) That really looked like he took a dive.
You've clearly never boxed,I got stop as an amateur once cause of pure exhaustion an it was only 3 rounds,couldn't imagine what it would be like to do 12 rounds
From Wikipedia: On the morning of 6 January 2011 Mason died after being hit by a van in Sandy Lane South, Wallington, South London whilst cycling. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Mason has got good head movement and moves well from the waist, but would have been complemented with quicker movement on the feet. Great boxer nonetheless Rest in Peace Champ.
Mason was another heavyweight that Terry Lawless 'overprotected' to an almost shocking degree. He was a big strong guy with a good punch, but his record consisted of journeymen and washed up Americans. Aside from Lennox Lewis (who easily beat him after only 15 fights) Biggs was probably his best opponent.
@@catsyo2258 I think they used Tyrell for a workout and he was paid a big purse to retire two thirds through the fight? Never proved but strong rumours from Bigg's camp?
The truth is Biggs should be a great fighter..he has the heights, styles and movement but unfortunately he doesn't have mentor like cuz dammato i..that's why he couldn't be great fighters..

I dont think Blac ment what he said in a disrespectful way, just that Biggs could of been a house hold name, but hay, shit happens! bless

Proper fella and an hard dude Gary, RIP fella great memories.
.
I like the big hometown support.
It’s so sad how Gary Mason died. So bizarre. Just a split second difference in timing and he’d still be with us.
Miss these days with Harry Carpenter on the BBC! #greatmemories
Biggs actually lives in my neighborhood here in philly and im pretty sure hes broke. I see him in the corner store buying scratch offs all the time. no one even knows who he is.. pretty sad
Very sad indeed!
Agree very sad lads great fighter in his day.
Yeah. It's sad to see him now. ruclips.net/user/shorts-vxKa3YRFLM?feature=share
Very very sad that,if he had the stamina to keep a stepping jab going against Tyson may have been a different fight but his legs got tired ,think he beat Lewis in the games
Very sad to get your head beat on and end up broke but it happens an awful lot.see rocky lockridge.
What a shit fighter Biggs was. Getting knocked out by an average boxer like Gary Mason

I was just thinking the same.....looked like he took a grazing punch on the top of his head and thought " that's it I've had enough...."
Man. Mason was too strong. So determined also
lol what ? how he goes down from that ?
You've clearly never boxed,I got stop as an amateur once cause of pure exhaustion an it was only 3 rounds,couldn't imagine what it would be like to do 12 rounds
@@solidcake3401 But Biggs was a world ranking heavyweight and he shouldn't be exhausted against Gary Mason after 7 rounds.
R.I.P all round good guy.

Des Lynham for grandstand awesome. Those were the days
Gary was a class solid boxer Rip
Gary took a punch better than big Frank. Sadly he was too rigid. God bless him nonetheless
Iron Gary Mason 👌
Mason has got good head movement and moves well from the waist, but would have been complemented with quicker movement on the feet. Great boxer nonetheless Rest in Peace Champ.
Gary will never be forgotten 😢😢
I love the times of Notice , Mason and Bruno . Exciting times and proud times . Love Eubank and Benn too .
Horace Notice, often forgotten like Gary Mason, both class fighters
Horace remember him from the amateurs 👌🥊

Biggs could have won this fight I think it was fixed as mason had no answer on what to do
Mason was running out of steam too.
Gary Mason and all 3 of his cornermen long gone. He took care of business this night, a really likeable guy too.
No disrespect to Gary rip but that fight looked fixed to me mason was done . But I liked mason and he was a tragic loss.
Looked fixed to me too. Gary was a nice guy

Its unbelievably sad that he's dead. Such a nice fella.
...R.I.P. "LEGEND" Gary !!!
He took a dive
RIP Gary.
Have decent in his day, R.I.P Gary Mason!
count 8 sec, from that same fool who had lewis and holyfield a draw ! should have been hung . anyway biggs never was going to make it . r.i.p. gary
How was briggs fighting for a brittish title ?
He wasnt
Who the fuck is Briggs?
Did you ever heard of grudge fights?.
Great fighter Gary mason he would have beaten Bruno inside distance . Great chin big heart big punch rip gary
No
No chance Bruno would have kept him on the end of his jab all night like he did Oliver McCall.
Dive
Looked like a push to me. Fell over his leg 😛
The problem with Tyrell Biggs was that he was never committed as a professional. Enjoyed his vices a little too much
funny how similar Gary was to frank bruno, yet he never went as far as frank. he retired much too soon!
He had to retire on medical advice because of his eyes.
Yep,detached retina
Biggs career ended when tyson destroyed him. He was never the same after that
Always liked Mason but he wasn't very good really. Biggs was washed up here.
Why was he not good?
@@ghostoftheyoutubefuture2630 Too slow and cumbersome.
Shame about Gary RiP 🥊
The days when you didn't have to pay £27 to sky to watch this!
Yeah that took all the fun out of boxing. Boxing should be Free!!
never seen this one
wow not seen this before,well done gary...
Beaten by tyson then by British champion mason 😎🤩
Why didn't Gary Mason get a title shot ?
Biggs was only 28 here he shuda been at his peak
The truth is Biggs should be a great fighter..he has the heights, styles and movement but unfortunately he doesn't have mentor like cuz dammato i..that's why he couldn't be great fighters..
Drugs
VHS- tracking. Class
Bruno very intelligent
:02 mmmm yessss cheese
