- May 30 1987 -- Pinklon Thomas, Las Vegas, TKO 6
(Retained WBA/WBC Heavyweight Titles)
Following a difficult 12 round clash with Tony Tucker Tyson takes on World number two Pinklon Thomas. In the 6th round an uppercut and right hook stun Thomas. Who then suffers a barrage of punches before finally going down.
17 clean punches in 20 seconds and he still manages to stand up by 9. I don't know who I'm more impressed with. The sound of those punches were brutal.
Right!?😮😮😮 fury would poop his diaper
Late 80s Tyson was a Diamond in a pile of Shit.
If they would of let the fight continue; Tyson would of killed him.
tyson spoke on this today on first take 🔥
Imagine today's cameras catching the sound of Tysons connects. Shit would sound crazy🤯🤯🤯
It is amazing that Pinklon could take such a beating and last as long as he did.
He fired those last punches on that poor man like a gatelen gun oww
Mike was all in his grill after he was dazed buzzed scrambled out of his mind was that a violation of personal space
You ever heard of the term “ISI O Kpukpu?
Was never the same after this fight
Just one of the shots that Thomas took before the knockdown would have finished nearly anyone. Mad props 👏
How is Pinklon even alive after that. A very tough man!
Credit to Pinklon but shame on Angelo Dundee for lack his of mercy and compassion towards Pinklon.
So true.
@@TheHumbuckerboy I agree. That was highly irresponsible. Casual fans often forget or don’t realize that once the fight is over the damage is lasting. Sure it’s entertaining, but he was left with serious injuries after that without a doubt.
That first upper cut that started the mess was enough to fell a fresh fighter.
@@tomjohnson3010
Somehow the fighter never developed chicken legs or roller skates.
His head never hit the mate when he fell. Sometimes their head bounces off the mate.
So he was not too far gone.
Who's here after hearing Tyson say this was his favourite KO
Me lol
Where did he say that
Me. Kudos to Pinklon. If Tyson applaud your chin and endurance, its already something else one can be proud of.
@@JT-do8dridk but I’m literally here cause he said it, so he said it
He had extra motivation to win that fight
I just met Pinklon today. He is still in shape and hard as a rock and a hell of a nice guy too.
gotmesom that's great to hear the guy is well, I saw this fight on tv as a child, I'd always hopped he didn't suffer Long term effects of this knockout.
does he still live in orlando florida!
Would Wilder have a chance against Pinklon Thomas. For real!
Sounds about right. He was very gracious in defeat when he congratulated tyson and you could tell he thoroughly earned tyson's respect
Great!
I don't know what to rate more, Tysons ferocious combo or Pinklons chin.
I gotta say this: Holy crap did Pinklon Thomas have a granite chin. He took a helluva lot of clean shots from Mike. I counted about 18 in that round alone.
+rwalfrey
indeed he must... what a punishment and yet he needed three or four those train-loaded punches to get down..
Definitely has a granite chin lol
I'm not positive, but I don't think Thomas was ever dropped before that. He had a helluva chin.
This was the first and only time Pinklon was down in his career.
NemeanLion
This was the first and last time he was ever dropped

17 strikes in less than 20 seconds. massive endurance from thomas pinklon
David
This ‘Thomas character’ happens to be one of the best heavyweights of modern boxing. An ex world champ
@@veritas2048
Calm down with the Thomas praise...embarrassing.
@@cquilty1 Dude Pinklon was tough as old boots.
@@veritas2048
To his detriment. This kind of beating not good for boxing or for the brains of boxers.
@@veritas2048 And Thomas was a decent enough pro, but to say he was "one of the best heavyweights of modern boxing" is laughable. My guess is you're trolling:)
It's amazing Thomas's neck was able to keep his head attached to his body during those combinations
Honestly I give Pinklon major kudos for taking so many hard shots before finally going down. He really stood up to that battering. Then he got back up after 10 seconds! He is tough as hell.
Man when Thomas went down his facial expression said "fuck life, I don't want to be here anymore" yell
lmao
😂😂😂😂😂
That was the most brutal knockout of Mikes career in my opinion, against a very very good and well conditioned fighter, trained by Angelo Dundee.
Embryo that and the right that Michael johnson ate Lol
Bro Vado stfuuuuu
Man, I agree. Thomas took eight *flush* power punches in a row from a prime Mike Tyson before going down. Wow. Brutal.
Nah it’s Marvis Frazier. I thought he was dead
The best constant barrage for a stoppage ever!
Massive credit Thomas, took all those pure shots, just wow. And he was no slouch either from memory.
Too bad Tyson couldn't do that to a real fighter just average fighters he looked good against
@Mixed Review And look at that, he was on his feet again by the end of the count. Incredible!
@@melvynsngltn27 Thomas was among the best at that time, ranked 1 by the WBC and 3 by the WBA. He was admittedly on the decline since his defeat against Berbick but still good.
@@martindarty1281 among the best when? When the Heavyweight division was filled with bums
@@melvynsngltn27 I disagree with you. Those «bums» were quite talented and gave some difficulties to the 90's generation even when they were well past theirs primes. Actually, drugs ruined most of them.
17 hits before you go down..... what a chin he had.
This knockout gives me goosebumps every time i see it, just inflicting that type of violence against a person, absolutely beautiful, those are punches with bad intentions, watch the way Mike puts his bodyweight into each big hit
Incredible chin on Thomas.
Exactly what I was thinking. He took several massive punches before going down
the most impressive part was pinklon got back up from that on his own almost in time for the count.....i mean holy shit
MY GOD the sound of those combos.... those have to be the best combinations I ever saw Tyson throw.
Never have i ever heard the punches reach the mic untill i watched tyson fight, what a freak of nature
Damn. Yeah that Thomas is still a hell of a man for taking as many shots as he did before he went down.
And people compare Holyfield's knockout of Thomas to this fight. Do they even watch these matches before comparing them? To all the Tyson haters. Tyson as you can see here was a technical and ferocious mid range volume puncher with insane accuracy not the flat footed head hunter he was against Holyfield and Lewis. Not even worth mentioning the other bums he succumbed to.
Mike Tyson's personal favorite knock out. He said it was his favorite because he landed 17 punches to take him out. Said Thomas was so tough. Great KO
I remember watching this fight as a kid at 3AM in the morning. I also remember Tyson saying that he couldn't believe Thomas stood the beating for so long in the post-fight interview. Thomas has a serious chin and Tyson had a lot of respect for him after this fight.
Dude...Tyson was laying bombs. Those shots could be heard from New Jersey and Thomas was somehow putting up with that punishment. That was crazy
what a beat...... ruthless and relentless..
Man
Those were some vicious shots. Thomas is one tough dude. Tyson in his prime was a monster.
am i the only person that's reall impressed with Pinklon's ability to take punches? he took about 10 full on solid hits before he went down, that's nuts
Iron Mike the destroyer. Boxing has never seen it a brief flash of pure wonder and excitement.
Pinklon took a serious uppercut at 47 seconds! I can’t believe that didn’t floor him. And he took a bunch after that. Tough guy!
Tyson confirmed to Stephen A. Smith that this was his favorite knockout.
Facts I’m back to look
Respect to Pinklon ..He survived a series of big,hard Punches that usually kill eklephants!
I’ve never seen anybody in boxing take that much punishment in that short of a span a tough tough man Pinklon Thomas is
Jess Willard
I've just realised I've never actually seen a boxer with quicker hand movements than Tyson... Ali had the speed in his legs... But Tyson may actually have the fastest hands boxings ever seen...
U r absolutely right! No one had explosive speed that Tyson had! And all the power in weight behind it! Ali was Buil tmore like a light heavyweight. Totally different fighter than post jail! Post Rooney 88 actually!
you are very wrong,go check joe louis,13 years holding the crwon with 23 dfenses in a row...
matiz mier - HTF is that relivent boy?!
WTFISWRONGWITCHU 84
if you saw louis yes.i also admire tyson but louis was better
matiz mier - Louis waa great! GoAt after Ali but in a fight... He was too slow and flat-footed for Tyson !
Mike on First Take this morning brought me here. Pinklon took those punches like a boss! LOL
Same here haha
Spiderman meme
Mike Tyson in his prime. So athletic he made boxing 🥊 violence an art form. Incredible athlete.
big left hook,big right hand,boom boom boom,ists unbelivable how many punches thomas took.... a all time highlite ko from tyson!!!
One of those punches would have ended me.
Andy Acropopolis not me. I’m the greatest bitch
That first big left hook definitely broke Thomas's jaw. 😬
Tyson said in his book "That might of been the most viscous knock out of my career" and he knock alot of people down
balf1111117373 im reading it right now lol he said he was happy at the press conference cause robin was there a page turner
balf1111117373 just came from book to watch haha
Marco Martinez fuck it me too dammit big swingin dicks!
Yes, It is a very good book. Anyone want copy leave address. Amazon is pricey,
16 punch salvo at the end,amazing speed and power from Tyson, Thomas was a tough guy too
Watching this while reading Mike Tyson's Undisputed Truth. Awesome
quite simply one of the most devasting knock outs of all time gentlemen!
credit to the guy, damn he took a barrage of hits and was still standing
You can actually hear the sound of the PUNCHES land in this Video..
Yeah fucking ferocious punches but you gotta give it to Tomas for taking that many full blown Tyson punches, most opponents would drop at the first uppercut
Oh man Pinklon took some serious punishment..what a tough SOB. Ref should have at least given him a standing 8 count. Brutal
Thexderx Thomas was always known for his granite chin. I think this was the first time he was off his feet, but Mike was at the peak of his career and he wouldn't be denied. If one punch didn't do it, that's okay, plenty more where that came from.

Tyson would have knocked out foreman with this same combination and foreman had ZERO defense.
tyson 87-88 best fighter of all time.
if you believe thomas wasnt as good as tommy the PUKE, then you're a fool.
Thomas would have outpointed fat foreman, the thomas that fought tyson with dundee in his corner would have outpointed fat foreman.
The tyson of the night he fought spinks would have finished off foreman fighting Ron Lyle/
the posiiton lyle got foreman in ,who, incidentally had gil clancey in his corner so foreman was still in prime ability,
tyson would have finished off foreman,
lyle didnt have the same finishing capabilities as tyson.
I watched 'em all, starting in the '60s. Ali, Frazier, Norton, Foreman, Holmes, Tyson, you name 'em. You guys got to remember, styles make fights. Fighter A might beat fighter B, and fighter B might beat fighter C, but fighter C might be able to beat fighter A. I watched Tyson from day 1, and he was one of the most devastating punchers I had ever seen. Very exciting to watch. You just knew there would be blood. One of my favorite fighters of all time. Then there's Foreman. Tall, strong, a pure puncher with some decent boxing skills. Here's my opinion about a matchup between the 2, both in their prime:
Foreman by KO early. Mike's style was just made to order for George, and George wouldn't be intimidated by Mike. He would keep Mike away with his long arms and pick his shots. Mike would be swinging furiously and hit nothing but air. Then - BOOM! Out go the lights. Anybody who doubts that this would happen, I suggest you watch the 2 Foreman vs. Frazier fights. Frazier and Tyson had very similar styles, were about the same size, and both could punch with authority. And don't forget who handed Tyson his first loss, another tall, strong puncher by the name of Buster Douglas.
and don't forget, tyson was fighting at 30% of his 88 posture.
You see, styles do make fights but so do 100% commitments!!
Tyson didnt make the committment anymore after 1988.
A little vs ruddock with giachetti but that was it.
douglas didnt impress at all before and after tokyo proving it was a fluke.
tysons style barely lost a minute of ANY round vs boxers becasue his style excelled vs boxers in his prime posture of 86-88.
The only fella that had the best chance was young foreman, POWER. that's it, not boxers,
The jab and right hand and clinch doesnt beat the prime tyson of 87-88.
But ANY fighter with ZERO defense like foreman ,tyson had no probems smacking all over the ring. foreman would be PUMMELLED by the younger tyson, the speed would shock slow foreman. He'd smack george all over JUST AS LYLE DID<
Lyle was nothing!couldnt even beat 199 lb jerry Quarry! You've been corrected.
This is the 1st time I saw this match. And I am proud that the referee is also a Filipino. What a performance by Tyson. This is his best KO win for me.
Billy Rey Rillon
"And I am proud that the referee is also a Filipino." What a weird thing to say.
@Mixed Review
No doubt he is Filipino, but you clearly have no clue what I'm talking about. Why would anyone be proud a boxing referee simply because they happen to be from the same country? And nobody said it was a 'biggie."
@Mixed Review
You're either trolling or none too bright.
@Mixed Review
Passive aggressive...just like "no biggie:)" Silly girl.
@Mixed Review
Passive aggressive...just like "no biggie" and "go play:)" Silly little dear.
I hadn’t remember Pinklon being this tough! Tyson finally did him in, but it took quite a few. And 6 rounds. That was a good showing.
I miss Tyson days.. the greatest of all
the most brutal knockout in mankind
Pinklon Thomas had been, in the years previous, a very solid fighter. He was older in this fight and past his prime. Still gave Tyson a good fight, though. Gotta respect him.
1:07 what beautiful punches , you will never seen in boxes again
Mike's accuracy and punch selection in the final sequence is astounding.
This was Tyson's favourite KO. Let me tell you why from me, a boxer who has knockout power. One punch knockouts get boring after awhile. When we meet a granite chin, we could practise them bombs for real. There is no better feeling than this
BRUTAL!! HOW Thomas took them shots to the dome, GOD only knows. Mike was FEROCIOUS backinaday man! Can't think of 1 HW 2day, bar V. Klitshcko who could take more than 2 or 3 like that without actually going down! AWESOME...
Holy Hell. Tyson was an animal. No other HW in history punched with that many quick, explosive consecutive shots. Every punch was meant to destroy his opponent. Every time I watch this KO I hurt for Pinklon Thomas.
seen most but not all Tyson fights and never seen anyone take that many Tyson punches and still be able to keep standing and moving to take more. steel chin
This must be one of the greatest fights of all time.
Listen to when them punches connect, sent shivers down my spine.
Mike says this was his favorite and praises Pinklon's chin. I think Mike just liked that he was able to punish someone with more than one shot lol.
pinklon had never been knock out before - what a beating - putting lennox in this fight and imagine him beaten like that gives me a lot pleasure
Alright watch the uppercut that starts this mess haha the commentators funny as shit
commentator also really goes with his feelings during the fight like he was in war
I feel this commentator is fake and not live. He was on the Berbick fight on here but I know the original announcers were Ray Leonard, Barry Tomkins, and Larry Merchant.
@@nazur72 yes he was there. His name id Bob Sheridan and this fight, like many others, was simulcast by HBO (Leonard, Tompkins, and Merchant), and Don King Productions, Sheridan's employer. Sheridan has called many championship fights, including The Rumble in the Jungle between Ali and Foreman.
None of mikes big shots travelled more than 7 inches that’s what’s amazing. All that power in such short punches.
huge tyson fan. from 1988
Heavyweights with Tyson's style and power are sadly a thing of the past at present. Mike always came to fight and look for the knockout.
Just watched Mike on First Take and he talked about this knockout saying Pinklon was the toughest KO
how did he survive that, holy shit!
Not only his tremendous chin -- but Pinklon had steel balls, to get up to his feet after that assault, whereas 99.9 % of people on planet earth - would be dead, concussed or shell-shocked. magnificent courage, i salute u !
PT took the fight with a shoulder injury He took some thunderous shots which would of laid out many men. Mike Tyson was such a vicious puncher, fast, powerful and precise. I doubt we’ll ever see someone who can throw hands like MT
What a man Pinklon Thomas is. Refused to go down until his body just couldn't comply anymore. Wow.
I think this is the only time Thomas went down in his entire career. Tyson was still 20 at this point. Everyone thought we would be going to the next century before he had someone seriously challenge him.
Pinklon Thomas chin is incredible.
Surviving those punches is just amazing
That was amazing Head blocking techniques implemented by Thomas here 😂
I'm more amazed that Thomas didn't hit the canvas after the first couple of shots. Anyone else would have been in a coma with those vicious blows.
You've got to rate Thomas for having such a granite chin. In the end he went down but with Tyson teeing off on him what do you expect ? Tyson had to put everything into about 16 punches to get him out of there. Thomas had never been down before or since - respect !
Mike right this was top tier 🎉
Huge, immortal respect to Pinklon for taking just one of those punches.
Pinklon Thomas is one super man with a steel chin! Just one punch from Tyson could have killed me leave alone a ko!
that was one of the best knockouts i think i've seen at 2:00 pinklon knew it was over tyson just kept punching his face in somehow pinklon was still standing
It all started with that monstrous left hook.. It's like all rotten hell was behind that punch
Tyson has knocked people unconscious with a single blow. This guy taking all those cannon balls is insane.
Im here cuz Mike said this is his favorite knockout
Tyson says this is his favorite I see why 😂 hit em with a ultra combo
lol u dont have to tell me to watch the fights. I followed EVERY SINGLE one of tysons fights closely leading up to the buster douglas loss. I dont "blindly love mr tyson" and yes, i do understand boxing. If you werent just another one of them tyson bashers you would see that he DID throw punches in bunches, he DID punish openings, he WAS lightning fast, his defence WAS flawless and his stamina WAS top notch. All the tools to make a great boxer. But you wouldn't understand.
Pinklon took all those punches before going down when most guys would’ve gone down after one or two of those punches. A very durable guy. After all, I heard this was the first and only time he got knocked down and out.
Monday mrn - December 20, 2021.
I was impressed with Pinklon taking brutal punches like it was nothing .course he went down .but who wouldnt .
Yea totally agree. Good to see some knowledgeable fight fans who remember who good those fighters were.
Best ko ever #legend
I’m actually way more impressed by Pinklon withstanding all those clean shots from Tyson. Just one of those punches puts most of us in the hospital or kills us. What a tough son of a bitch for being able to stay standing for that long.
Mike Tyson's favorite knockout.
16 punch salvo,amazing
RIP Joe Frazier. Long life to Mike Tyson, George Foreman, and Muhamad Ali...
As always, listen to the SOUND... You'll heard why some punch are more devastating than others, just because you heard them, above the crowd and speaker sound. In every Tyson's match, you can do the same. At one time, there is 2 sounds, louder thant everything else, and then, the opponent is a dead man walking... That power sound in punching is a trademark of some punchers
Such accurate and powerful punches.
Multiple flush punches from Tyson is never a good thing. Vicious
pinking Thomas took more shots to the face than a porno star
Jeffery Larkin LMAOOOO
That accuracy is insane. People have forgotten how spectacular he was because of his losses.
First take brought me here
Can you imagine getting hit by those punches? Imagine if your walking with your girl and Tyson disrespects your girl in front of you. WTF do you do? Get KTFO or walk away???
The heart of Pinklon.
I always liked how Mike got this defence in before securing the IBF title against Tucker. Tyson fought four championship fights in 1987.
And he was still able to get to his feet....
