People seem to forget iron Mike lost some fights that we all thought we would win. This is one of them. He was never the same after the buster Douglas fight. The aura of invincibility was gone!!!
Mike at this time was simply fighting to put food on the table. A mere spectacle of his younger years. It has happened to so many great athletes. A man must know his limitations or he will eventually be destroyed by that very set of limitations
The last big fight Tyson won was against Spinks? Ruddock and Bruno were still big wins. I get it that Tyson may not have been what everyone thought, but people get a little carried away with the criticism.
@@WilliamPiazza-d5jexactly Three years is a lot of time for any boxer... he was not the dedicated person he was before..both mentally and physically 😮
Mike Tyson had lost interest in boxing a 5 years before that fight. So much so that if a 58 year old, remotorvated, invigorated Mike Tyson would beat himself and his opponent in the same night. Personally I don't think he was ever the same after coming out of prison. I think he would have happily never boxed again. But Boxing is the only thing he knew and he still could earn millions continuing. Tyson got credit all of the time for his explosive power, but he was a much better boxer than he was given credit for. Pretty much all of his opponants were taller or bigger in some way. But he could Bob and weave, avoid punches to get in close and deliver the bad news.
There were a few factors that lead to Tyson's demise. The death of Cus D'Amato, firing Kevin Rooney, Don King, the Douglas fight, going to prison and then he forgot how to box and just relied on his power oh and his aura of invincibility was gone!
@@travzimmerman1340 ha ha, I agree, Tyson fans do make a LOT of excuses for him not living up to his full potential. I definitely think he could’ve achieved more than he did, had he not fell apart like he did. That being said, it was all his fault, he made bad choices and paid for them. Everyone who says “Tyson would never have lost if Cus didn’t die” are talking crap! He was was on a huge comeback trail when he fought Holyfield, he’d won the WBC, and was looking good. Holyfield was just better, simple as. He took some fantastic shots from Tyson and just absorbed them and threw back. I don’t think he’d ever have beaten Holyfield personally.
Unfortunately Tyson's true character comes out when he is losing. Here we see him trying to break his opponents arm and when that failed, he resorted to a head butt. Really sad that so much potential was destroyed by such evil character.
@@506rf And a convicted rapist and felon. He was always a mental case. In the early days his managers kept him in check. When he got with Don King he went downhill fast. He was a dumb guy, but a potentially great champ.
Tyson is 8 inches shorter and 70 lbs lighter than his opponent. Tyson is 7 years older than his opponent. Taking things into perspective, he did pretty well.
This upsets many Mike Tyson fans. Who was with him while he was young & fans still to this day? Remember what Iron Mike said " the only way I'm going out is on my back or my A**" He went out like a true champ, champ, champ. No blood in his ❤ was not in the Dance that Night. This McDonald Fighter's catch him at the end of his career. What a " coward they are" & got the nerve to want to walk all over Mike. I want this McDonald's fighter. To dance with the guy who Faced Pinkland Thomas. Took 17 power punches from Iron Mike. Don't be on the I beat up Mike Tyson It doesn't count if he is not "prime-time Mike Tyson" no chance Macdonald
@@waynealvarez6519 Robin Givens dug for Tysons Gold, got a good chunk. Then another G D got his money, put him in prison. Tyson was young, rich and ripe for plucking by courtesans
That woman robin givens did a lot of damage to him . Nike is prone to emotional trouble yes s great fighter at god best this fight here is not Mike Tyson at his best tho
The Irish guy stopped one hell of a lot of Mike's punches with his chin and ribs. Except when he was clinching. The only time Mike failed was when he lacked the will. Buster Douglas. C'mon. Good grief. I will give full credit to Lennox Lewis. He is a great technician and powerful puncher. Even then, I still wonder how he or anyone in history would have done against a 20 year old Mike Tyson.
Tyson's career was in meltdown even before the Douglas fight. Take into account his trainer dying, divorce, jail time, Don King...Holyfield and Lewis fought him at the perfect time!
0:10 - Quote: "The last big fight that Mike Tyson won was against Michael "Jinx" Spinks (1988)" ??? This is a narrative I have heard from SO-SO-SO many hard-core Tyson fans and casual fans, and it is IMO nothing but BS talk. It is both a HUGE diss to ALL boxers he fought from 1989-2003 and Tyson himself's career. Tyson was in 1988 only 22-23 years young = a KID in professional boxing and Tyson himself have said so much. Tyson was technically speaking 2 years away from 25, the typical age at the time for the best top contenders that made it to the top at earliest and Tyson made it there when he was 20 (!) Tyson stopped training his usual way, yes that is well known. After he fired Kevin Rooney and his manager Bill Cayton, two very trusted men Tyson's menthor and father figure Cus Damato had selected to guide his career, and they made a dang fine job in both marketing >Tyson and set up high-profile fights but also managing his finances. However Tyson fired them and could our would not do the same training that made him the great champ. He instead focused on being a headhunter and added more- and more muscle mass on his body over the following years for more power - at the expense of speed, fast movement and even stamina. Tyson also took more big hits then he previously did due to not using his head movements as before. Tyson defeated Ruddock x2, Bruno x2, Seldon, Botha etc. that all was champions and/or top contenders for many years = Big wins. Sure Tillman, Francis, McNeil, Nielsen etc. was no big ones but Tyson was still a man to beat as he was walking on there on top, only rivaled bu his era rivals Evader Holyfield & Lennon Lewis - who both Tyson postponed to fight for several years. Holy field was sidelined 1989-1996 despite becoming mandatory in 1989, and by WBA 1988 and in 1991 Tyson pulled out due to a claimed injury that never was shown with medical documentations (?). And Lewis was between 1996-2002. Lewis was Tyson's mandatory in 1996, but Tyson first paid him $4 million in step-a-side fee for Seldon and then Tyson after the fight dumped the WBC title and Lewis all together for fighting Holyfield. So 7 years later when 36 year old Lewis and 35 year old Tyson fought, non where any longer in there best prime days but non the less dangerous HW's. Tyson was his own worst enemy in the end of the day. He wanted only the easy way. BOTH Kevin Rooney and Teddy Atlas said that Tyson easily could have been so much better but due to his lazy/easy mentality he could walk off training sessions and or prefer to slack off. Tyson did not want to fight the best of his era like Lewis & Holyfield (well not until he could not go away any longer), Bowe, Mercer, McCall or Foreman despite the money and viewers would be exploding high in demand.
Për mendimin tim Tyson ishte larg më i mirë. Kundërshtari nuk bëri azgjë. Tyson besoj se nuk ishte i përgatitur mirë fizikisht dhe ju desht të dorëzohet.
Every fighter ages and time catches up with them -some take the hint and retire while others soldier on for various reasons. Some people conveniently forget that Tyson once ruled the division like a collosus and many contenders DUCKED him because they truly feared him. He will go down in boxing history as one of the truly great champions of the ring -regardless of his actions outside of it. PS -Would McBride have dared to take on Tyson in his prime -DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH -BUT,IF HE WAS THAT NAIVE TO AGREE THEN HE WOULDN'T HAVE LASTED 2 ROUNDS ...........IF HE WAS LUCKY !!.
Tyson was fast and explosive in marciano type of way, but when his opponents fought back he came unstuck, but he would have killed mcbride in a few seconds in his early days, mcbride would struggle to knock a vvank out
Great achievement beating a guy that by then wasn't even a shadow of his best version? Not saying Tyson is the best ever. But in his prime, under D'Amato's direction, this guy wouldn't have had a chance. Why? Because he is an average boxer, like the many other boxers that Tyson faced and demolished. The story changed for Tyson after D'Amato is gone. Lost something along the way. And he faced better fighters, and I'm not talking about Douglas. If a journey man can take care of a boxer in his prime, that's something to behold and it says plenty of the quality of the boxer in his prime, as it was the case wirh Tyson and Douglas. But when beaten by a journey man well past his prime, there's nothing to tell. No big achievement. It's like taking credit for cutting to pieces a tree that's already fallen.
@@rssphllps you got it buddy. Right on the chin. Still, I liked Tyson, in his early years because the moment the bell rang Tyson just went to work on his opponent like a hungry rabid dog. He reminded me of Roberto Duran in his early years, same style, ferocious and scary.
Buster knocked him out. Holyfield kicked the crap 💩 out of him. The best heavyweight ever beat him into the ground. Every time he got in the ring with a real fighter he got destroyed. He wouldn’t even fight ray Mercer or Tommy Lennox Lewis fought every body on the planet and beat them all. Even the two he lost. Came back and beat them in the ground. I loved watching Lennox beat Mike like he owned him.
I willing to bet that you are a white boy and you white males are forever hating the GREATNESS of the black man. A Rooney-Trained Tyson was INVINCIBLE and when Mike abandoned Rooney as him trainer, his career went on a downward spiral.
Interesting how Lennox waited so long to fight Tyson. Like after Tyson had lost 3 years of his boxing life in jail. Whether you believe he was guilty or not is not the point here. We are talking pure boxing. Losing 3 years of a professional athlete’s career is a lot. Ali lost 3 years too, and that showed when he returned to the ring. Lennox, Holyfield, Douglas, portly Danny Williams and potato-hipped Kevin McBride could not have lasted 6 rounds with Tyson in his prime. Lewis could have fought Tyson prior to Mike going to jail but didn’t want to know. I wonder why?
@@abdelmontasir2958 All of these 🤡 whom are hating on Tyson knows that none of those whom defeated him would not have a chance with prime Mike under Rooney!!!!!
The night Tyson beat spinks, he changed. It was the end of his prime. After that the head movement and combinations went away, he began to get hit more No strategy just pure aggression and power. It was good enough for a while, but not enough for Holyfield and after that it was all over
As per the comments below the age difference between that Irish boxer and mike Tyson was only of 5 years. So mike was not that old to that Irish boxer...they are almost of same age...
Ali and Foreman in their prime would both have beaten Tyson. Foreman would have knocked him out much like Frazier, and Ali would have outboxed him easily.
Ali would have never let Tyson get close or fight inside. His jab would set up combinations Tyson couldn't keep up. Frazier would trade heavy punches and one of them would have been knocked out
I'M AN ATHLETE & I RESPECT ALL THE UNSEEN WORK WE PUT IN MOST PEOPLE WOULD NOT LEAVE THE HOUSE AFTER THE FIRST DAY OF TRAINING, THIS IS NOT A GAME OF " HATE" ARE YOU A FAN OF THE SPORT? OR JUST A SIDE IN A BLOOD SPORT, THAT ONLY THE GREATEST NEVER BLEED OR NOT MUCH. I respect all the fighters. Don't be so shallow 😮😂😅!
But yea who's fault is that, who is the one who didnt take the fight seriously, it's Mike right? Guess what happened, he got his ass handed to him for underestimating his opponent and not taking him seriously.
Think that Lennox Lewis finished his Carer defeating by TKO in the 6th the Future heavyweight king of the Division: V.Klitschko And compare that to this... OMG
tyson was a dirty fighter, lots of headbuts rabbit punching and even biting. just an awkward brawler, who won most of his fights fear . those who werent scared of him , beat him !
My intention was not to say anything derogatory because I have respect for him. He is a highly intelligent man who worked himself out of bad situations. No offense intended.
Schade ! Mike Tyson war ein großer Boxer und ein großer Mensch -hoffentlich haben ihm die U.S. Steuerbehörden noch ein wenig seiner Gagen gelassen !!! Er war ein sehr großer Sportsmann und begnadeter Boxer , ich grüße ihn und hoffe das es ihm gut geht gesundheitlich- viele Grüße Mike from Munich in Germany 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Mike was long long past his prime at this point he was beaten and battered he didn't go in to the fight a well man Every dog has his day and Mike had his and was in decline He was a great boxer and should have been in retirement but pushed on only for the money Give the guy a break
@@travzimmerman1340 I hate to break it to you but Mike Tyson didn't have an era. When he was young and winning, he was only beating chumps. He never beat a quality fighter. The only people that think Mike Tyson is a legend were kids when he was fighting and they didn't know any better. I tell the truth no matter who likes it. I was a grown man when he was fighting and I know that he was fighting nobody's to build a reputation. Every time he tried to rise out of the chump category he would get his ass whipped. If Vlad or Vitali would have got a hold of him it would have been sad to see, just like Lennox Lewis destroying him but you'll never convince the kids that idolized him. They even tried to get Tyson to fight Tommy Morrison but Tyson himself said that Morrison has to much power and was to big of a threat. I have nothing personal against Tyson, I'm just tired of hearing about him. Like I've said a hundred times, he never beat a quality fight that wasn't already retired. That is by no means a legend of the sport! That is, unless you want to count biting ears, trying to break arms, head butting, or hitting women on the street with body shots. What a hero.
That big Irishman couldn't last 5 minutes with prime time Mike Tyson Mike was old and weather beaten, the producers of this video should be ashamed. They will do anything to get a goddamn click. Where is it Irishman now his face is on the ballroom floor that's where it is. Some people need to stick to hockey in golf.
There were still plenty of good hits, but they simply missed the power. Couldn't help it, but after this fight I felt that this Irish bloke was one of the worst boxers I have seen in a long time, in spite his win.
Who was the guy on the PBD podcast that was interviewed about fixing in boxing. He claimed that that there are fights that have been rigged that people wouldn't believe. One them was a heavyweight world title fight involving two former heavyweight champions.
First time I’ve seen this fight. I’m starting to see why many pick Jake to win. I know I know I know it’s not real fight. It will be a draw but Netflix will be the real winner.
People forget that it was an Irishman who retired Iron Mike.
Unless you are Irish and interested in boxing why would that be at all unusual?

I loved watching Lennox beat Mike like he owned him.
I willing to bet that you are a white boy and you white males are forever hating the GREATNESS of the black man. A Rooney-Trained Tyson was INVINCIBLE and when Mike abandoned Rooney as him trainer, his career went on a downward spiral.
😂😂😂😂
Interesting how Lennox waited so long to fight Tyson. Like after Tyson had lost 3 years of his boxing life in jail. Whether you believe he was guilty or not is not the point here. We are talking pure boxing. Losing 3 years of a professional athlete’s career is a lot. Ali lost 3 years too, and that showed when he returned to the ring. Lennox, Holyfield, Douglas, portly Danny Williams and potato-hipped Kevin McBride could not have lasted 6 rounds with Tyson in his prime. Lewis could have fought Tyson prior to Mike going to jail but didn’t want to know. I wonder why?
@@abdelmontasir2958 All of these 🤡 whom are hating on Tyson knows that none of those whom defeated him would not have a chance with prime Mike under Rooney!!!!!
Tyson beat a bunch of bums. The real fighters beat his @$$.
The ever colourful and resourceful Mike, the Legend!
We love you.
tyson a stupid boxer
marciano more intelligent and stop at the good moment
I don't love him.
Tuyệt Đỉnh Lắm 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
The night Tyson beat spinks, he changed. It was the end of his prime. After that the head movement and combinations went away, he began to get hit more No strategy just pure aggression and power. It was good enough for a while, but not enough for Holyfield and after that it was all over
That was the last fight he had Rooney in his corner. He fired everyone from the Catskills and went with Don King.
He just fought better and real heavyweights after beating Spinks.
when a 271 pouind punching bag beats you, its time to move to a desert island and throw away your phone..
As per the comments below the age difference between that Irish boxer and mike Tyson was only of 5 years. So mike was not that old to that Irish boxer...they are almost of same age...
Ali and Foreman in their prime would both have beaten Tyson. Foreman would have knocked him out much like Frazier, and Ali would have outboxed him easily.
No Doubt Foreman would tear him up 👊👍
NEIN Mike hätte sie alle ko geschlagen , auch den Cassius Clay -i am sure 👌👌👌
What about Sonny Liston?
Well said i also think they would have beaten Tyson.
Ali would have never let Tyson get close or fight inside. His jab would set up combinations Tyson couldn't keep up.
Frazier would trade heavy punches and one of them would have been knocked out
I'M AN ATHLETE & I RESPECT ALL THE UNSEEN WORK WE PUT IN MOST PEOPLE WOULD NOT LEAVE THE HOUSE AFTER THE FIRST DAY OF TRAINING, THIS IS NOT A GAME OF " HATE" ARE YOU A FAN OF THE SPORT? OR JUST A SIDE IN A BLOOD SPORT, THAT ONLY THE GREATEST NEVER BLEED OR NOT MUCH. I respect all the fighters. Don't be so shallow 😮😂😅!
I always wanted to see Foreman knock Tyson out. Tyson is a "Unproffessional Dirty Fighter" who shouldn't be allowed to fight anymore.
old Mike Tyson, that's a huge difference
@@passie29 sure is big difference .
Come On that's a STRETCH..An Old,Untrained,Retired,Tyson picking UP a Check,FIGHT..This Guy would have not lasted 2 Rounds with The REAL TYSON..
Who forced him into the ring without training?😂
The real Tyson got his ass knocked out!
That's Mike's fault isnt it?
Kind of like a lot of the fighters a young Tyson beat.
But yea who's fault is that, who is the one who didnt take the fight seriously, it's Mike right? Guess what happened, he got his ass handed to him for underestimating his opponent and not taking him seriously.
Those disgraceful headbutts are forever a stain on Tyson's boxing legacy. Lousy way to end a career
Think that Lennox Lewis finished his Carer defeating by TKO in the 6th the Future heavyweight king of the Division: V.Klitschko
And compare that to this...
OMG
Yall coping cuz you know tyson is better than most boxers
IRISH
Man, Tyson doesn't even look like a shadow of his prime!! WTF
I believe he was in prison for five years and got out of shape .
marciano more intelligent
stop at the good moment
You should see the 16 boxers he fought in the beginning no name boxers
Those 16 fights were in 8 months. Most boxers only fight twice (max) in that time span.
If Jake Paul was fighting someone on the level Kevin McBride was on at this time, who would be favourite?
24 years ago. And he wants to go again?
Tyson at this point in his career was a mess..
tyson was a dirty fighter, lots of headbuts rabbit punching and even biting. just an awkward brawler, who won most of his fights fear . those who werent scared of him , beat him !
They beat him when he stopped training.
It shows you how far Mike had went back the likes of macbride and Danny Williams beating Mike ? Mike was to tired to get up not best just tired
He had run his course ❤❤❤
in the post fight interview Tyson admitted he'd not been focused since Ruddock in 1991, this was 2005. he was long done
Tyson looked like he wanted to lose
Tyson won most of his big fights by intimidation. Once he could no longer intimidate, his career at the top of the heavyweight division was over.
Tyson had a unique style that surprised opponents, but after a few fights, people figured it out, and he was beaten several times from that point on.
That's all it was. Comment section is filled with people shittin on him. Bottom line, he has his place within the hall of boxing history.
My intention was not to say anything derogatory because I have respect for him. He is a highly intelligent man who worked himself out of bad situations. No offense intended.
This is JUNKY MIKES legacy, a flat out disgrace!
Schade ! Mike Tyson war ein großer Boxer und ein großer Mensch -hoffentlich haben ihm die U.S. Steuerbehörden noch ein wenig seiner Gagen gelassen !!! Er war ein sehr großer Sportsmann und begnadeter Boxer , ich grüße ihn und hoffe das es ihm gut geht gesundheitlich- viele Grüße Mike from Munich in Germany 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Mike was long long past his prime at this point he was beaten and battered he didn't go in to the fight a well man
Every dog has his day and Mike had his and was in decline
He was a great boxer and should have been in retirement but pushed on only for the money
Give the guy a break
Tyson stopped the Irish American so I don't see what you're suggesting
And in his era iron mike was something else Travis cheers Ronnie
Tyson all'epoca aveva dinamite nelle mani,nessuno era in grado di assorbire le sue cannonate.ma diverse circostanze lo hanno debilitato ..
When a video tittle is nonsense
Then you woke up
Everyone gets old!
Fights must have been Fixed ! Money is the Game !
,,,,, Tyson earned his money and had enough - good for him.
Excellent 👍
Tyson is tiger
He was the best in his era long live iron mike
Foreman woulda ko'd Tyson. Tyson dodged Foreman.
Mike Tyson was nothing but a chump beater. He never beat one good fighter that wasn't already retired. The most overrated fighter in history!
@@johnhurley4700
You forgot to mention Mercer Morrison Cooper Lewis Briggs Tua Moorer Klit Ike McCall
Yeah, Mike's era was '85 - '89. Mike wasn't top 5 in the 90s.
@@travzimmerman1340 I hate to break it to you but Mike Tyson didn't have an era. When he was young and winning, he was only beating chumps. He never beat a quality fighter. The only people that think Mike Tyson is a legend were kids when he was fighting and they didn't know any better. I tell the truth no matter who likes it. I was a grown man when he was fighting and I know that he was fighting nobody's to build a reputation. Every time he tried to rise out of the chump category he would get his ass whipped. If Vlad or Vitali would have got a hold of him it would have been sad to see, just like Lennox Lewis destroying him but you'll never convince the kids that idolized him. They even tried to get Tyson to fight Tommy Morrison but Tyson himself said that Morrison has to much power and was to big of a threat. I have nothing personal against Tyson, I'm just tired of hearing about him. Like I've said a hundred times, he never beat a quality fight that wasn't already retired. That is by no means a legend of the sport! That is, unless you want to count biting ears, trying to break arms, head butting, or hitting women on the street with body shots. What a hero.
I would have liked to have seen Corey Sanders and Mike Tyson
That big Irishman couldn't last 5 minutes with prime time Mike Tyson Mike was old and weather beaten, the producers of this video should be ashamed. They will do anything to get a goddamn click. Where is it Irishman now his face is on the ballroom floor that's where it is. Some people need to stick to hockey in golf.
Sometimes you lose your crown
Irishman was too big, too fast and too strong for Tyson
Тайсона знает весь мир, второго боксëра никто, вообще никто, я узнал через 44 года
Mike did quite well, but it seems McBride won due to his body mass. Certainly not to his boxing skills.
He fought a finished and broken Mike. He wouldn't have lasted one round with prime Tyson.
The Irish man is neither a great fighter, nor technically sound boxer, still...
Got the better of tyson though 😅😅😅
He bet Tyson despite headbutting trying to break the Irish mans arm.
Why not put Mike in with a 900 pound man, or a Hereford bull, or an elephant. The "big Irishman" humiliated himself every time he lay on Mike.
Kev Mcbride eat's apple pie's
There were still plenty of good hits, but they simply missed the power. Couldn't help it, but after this fight I felt that this Irish bloke was one of the worst boxers I have seen in a long time, in spite his win.
I will say this though at his best he beats them all. Including Ali
At his best Buster Douglas destroyed Tyson, but keep living in your fantasy world.
Well done Kevin,he fought dirty
❤😂❤
Who was the guy on the PBD podcast that was interviewed about fixing in boxing. He claimed that that there are fights that have been rigged that people wouldn't believe. One them was a heavyweight world title fight involving two former heavyweight champions.
Ali v Foreman?
He got rid of his first team, and that was a mistake.
Marciano quit another reason he was the greatest
another cry-bully falls apart
His mind wasn't there look like something was bothering him and he couldn't concentrate I don't know
Tyson lost two points but the other so called boxer should have lost more points because he was wrestling instead of boxing.
lol boomer
Tyson would have been nothing in the 70s prime or not
We will never know. He certainly was an Amazing force in his day

Against tomato cans and fringe contenders
@@travzimmerman1340shut it.your clueless 😂😂😂 .Mr couch potato 😂😂😂
@@michaelmoynihan9591 Mabey not tomato cans, but he didn't beat any great heavyweights who weren't almost 40.
i see him here looking better than his opponent
First time I’ve seen this fight. I’m starting to see why many pick Jake to win. I know I know I know it’s not real fight. It will be a draw but Netflix will be the real winner.
Boxing is like Horse-Racing ….Can always he Fixed…….THE MONEY AND DEALS TO THE WRONG PEOPLE AS USUAL !
And WOW he won .and Mike./ fixed. Never one again. UR WELCOME.
