Mike Tyson vs Tyrell Biggs | October 16, 1987 | Highlights HD 60[fps]

"He's never fought anyone like me, someone with a strong jab who can box and is not going in there just to survive. Do you think I'm going to walk into the roundhouse punches of a guy who's 5-8?" - Tyrell Biggs before the fight.
"Everyone else has counted me out. I don't feed into that. As far as him being invincible is concerned, on Oct. 16, I'll just have to prove that wrong . . . Come Oct. 16, I'm going to shock the world." - Tyrell Biggs before the fight.
"Any expert who says I'm not ready for Tyson is no expert at all. I've gone through hell in 15 fights. I don't know this Tyson the way you guys talk about him. I know Tyson from way back when." - Tyrell Biggs before the fight.
"From what we've seen of Biggs, he fights as if the objective of boxing is to get hit in the jaw." - Jim Jacobs before the fight.
"He was doing so much talking that I wanted to make him pay with his health. I don't want to sound egotistical, but I could have knocked him out in the third round. I wanted to do it slowly. I wanted him to remember this for a long time." - Mike Tyson after the fight.
"I will fight any man in the world because I do believe there is no one on this planet that can beat me." - Mike Tyson after the fight.
"In my mind, I knew it was for 15 rounds, and I was prepared to put the pressure on him constantly for 15 rounds. You know, I was having a great time in there. I felt good. I was in the best condition of my life, and I did what I was supposed to do. I knew when I came to this fight, I was the best fighter in the world and not a man alive can beat me. . . . I was hitting him with body punches, and I hurt him. Actually, he was crying in there, making woman gestures, like, 'ooh-uh-uh!' . . . I knew that he was breaking down soon. . . . I was very calm, and I was thinking about Roberto Duran, how he used to cut down the runners and just wear them down. I had that frame of mind when I was in the ring. . . . I wasn't even thinking about [Biggs'] cut, I was thinking about hitting him to the body, softening him up." - Mike Tyson during a post-fight interview with Larry Merchant.
"I still feel like I'm a better fighter than Mike Tyson. Tonight, he was better than me, but I don't think he could do this five out of five times. His punches weren't that dominating. Jeff Sims hit me with harder punches than that." - Tyrell Biggs after the fight.
"Losing like I did really put a damper on me psychologically. I wasn't doing hard drugs any more, but I was bingeing on other things. I'd binge on sex. When you have money -- and I made a lot of money to fight Tyson (a reported $1 million) -- of course that's going to attract women. I also binged on food, on certain candy bars. I'd go in the store and buy three of them. Then I'd go back and buy three more. Next trip, I'd buy a whole box." - Tyrell Biggs during a 2009 interview with the Standard-Examiner of Ogden, Utah.
