I and a few other boxing fans have a theory here in South Africa, that the tyson "rape" charge was a bull shit story and it was put in place in order to get Mike Tyson out of the boxing scene for a while so the other heavyweights could get a bit more spotlight time, and the managers and promoters of the other heavyweight boxer could make some cause all the attention and money was going to tyson, but to be honest, Before tyson went to prison right, he was unstoppable, lewis, holyfield ect none of them wanted anything to do with tyson, tyson went down hill booze drugs ect messed even more so with tysons head.
Imagine the epic war that eclipsed and broke for most Punch's thrown in a heavyweight fight Muhammad Ali's Joe Frazier's 14-round compubox most Punch's David Tua vs Ike ibeabuchi Now that was a classic
I remember watching this video a homeless man in New York a year ago. Seeing this brought tears to my eyes as how much better my life is now and this video is still here. Never give up in life. No condition is permanent

Evander's skill was so good, he held tyson, he dodged his punches frustrated him and kept close to limit Tyson's power. He broke him down round by round being strategic. Eventually putting Tyson on defensive mode. What amazing fighters and what a fight.
Holyfield is a good fighter I give him that but Tyson was washed from doing drugs at the time and just came home from prison. On top of that Holyfield head butted Tyson about 25 times during the fight
It's brutal. One of the best matches of 90's. Two great warriors, great boxers with powerful strikes, two legends. When I was a child I was looking forward this clash. It's unforgettable match. I'll never forget it.
Me. I wanted to see just how far Mike has fallen. It's weird because people were talking about how bad Mike was here but little did they know that 28 years later it would get much worse.
watched the Tyson Jake fight then watched this. Need to see the legend in his prime. Mike was the ultimate boxer in his day. I'm happy to see him still tryin to get after it after all these years. The GOAT!!
And by understand how it was fixed for tyson. They gave him bitch fights. He lost to every good fighter her faced. Tyson is overrated. What great fighter did he beat?
lol you cutie! doesn't have to be boomer like your papa! as long as a person who born in 80-90' able to enjoy this. what do you have except your screen and Godly Mr.beast! ?? pffff @@GodKing804

You have to give Holyfield massive credit, he not only took huge Tyson shots that men bigger than him simply could not, but he also effectively knocked Mike about the face and head like no other fighter before him, and he deserved that win two fold! A fight for the ages!

Tyson was a shadow of his younger form during the 90’s. His movement/speed/execution in the mid to late 80’s was legendary. Truly one of a kind talent at his peak. It’s unfortunate he never fought any other legend in his absolute prime.
Who did Ali fight in his absolute prime besides Liston, Patterson, or Cleveland Williams. Ali beat Frazier and Foreman after he was banned from boxing.

Holyfield is so humble. You never hear trash talk from him or any hype. His skills and tenacity made him the most underrated and most complete heavyweight boxer of his era. He truly was a scary creature and well deserving of the title "REAL DEAL". He was the one boxer everyone took seriously.

you better see , legend Liston vs Cleveland Williams 1 The G,O,A,T vs sir Frazier 3 sir Foreman vs Ron Lyle The real Captain America vs Max Schmeling, Tony Galento and Jersey Joe Walcott
Tyson and Holyfield event in round 11 they were still fast and showing amazing boxing skills! When I watched the last fight between Tyson Fury and Wilder, by round 8, they were fighting like 60-year-olds. Boxing back then was amazing!
Bro these guys today couldn't compete with Holyfield, Tyson etc. Even Lewis who I wasn't a fan of, but definitely was great. They would have beat the piss out of Fury and Wilder especially lol. These guys today in the heavy division are bums. Either don't have the grit, or skills, or natural ability. All the real heavyweight athletes are going to football, basketball etc. Not boxing. So we're left with guys like Wilder, Fury fat Ruiz etc
Mannnnn I cried like a baby when they stopped that fight..... A 13 yr old kid seeing his favorite boxer go down.... The baddest man on the planet unable to continue. That hurt
Evander took several punches that would have knocked out any other fighter!! He took those punches and gave them right back to the most dangerous puncher ever!!! What a fight!!!!
Mike was a combination puncher. Almost everyone he beat he knocked down 5/6 times and stopped by ref. Most dangerous puncher ever no way. And Tyson himself has discussed this. Shavers Foreman Liston would literally KO a guy with 1 punch. Tyson had to throw with devastating speed and combinations once that went he got beat easy.
Heard a name called "SUNNY FUCKING LISTON" Tyson and even george foreman said they were intimidated to that giant and guess what the great Ali defeated that beast twice thats why he is the great
Not really. Well, maybe this fight for sure. But how many Tyson fights were over before they started. Imagine paying $1000+ to watch a fight that lasted 60 seconds. Hope there were some good undercard fights.
Impressive... 13 or 14 hits at the end of 10th round, and another 10 hits before the referee stops the fight. And Mike stood up all the way! Two legends incredible fight.
Yeah then what wtf happened in fight 2, he was scared of another beating let’s get it out there,fear makes you do out of character behaviour,there’s a size issue too,who knows,but I saw him bite and miss,try to break Holyfield’s arm, he was looking for the exit watch the fight back you’ll see!
@@patrickisaac5302 you right, Holyfield was clearly superior and Mike couldn't loose a second fight the right way, I guess he had to use tricks not to be KO'd for the record LOL Two consecutive fails would have lowered his myth.
@@doctorone1028 Tyson already at a disadvantage against holyfield owing to the big size n weight difference. Tyson fails to land his blows owing to that.
@@hassananas4944 you are right, and wrong, Holyfield is bigger but Tyson is heavier! Holyfield won the first fight because of his defensive strategy, he was excellent facing Tyson in short distance. He wouldnt give Tyson a chance to blow his uppercut.
@@doctorone1028 i agree. But only add, that holyfield's that ability to keep tyson at arm's length, or successfully block his blows with elbows and fist before it reaches the target , comes from his long hands, which is a natural advantage.
Yeah, so many great boxers who were also great and captivating characters. Tyson Fury is bringing it back. You can put guys like Fury and Tyson in any era and they will always be right up there at the top.
@@williamgray5491 No, I'm just telling the truth. America hasn't had great heavyweight boxing since the Tyson era. It's all about the UFC now. If you think forty years is old you're an idiot.
I think Tyson knew Holyfield wasn't intimidated by him and once Tyson lost that psychological hold of fear on his opponent it changed the dynamics of Mike Tyson performance. Holyfield was fearless and that by itself crippled Tyson.
I miss old Mike Tyson he deserves and always will be the best no matter how old he is Jake Paul did not deserve to win it was so rigged like if you think I’m right Please like this took me so long
Le problème c'est que vu les coups qu'il se prend et quand on connaît la puissance de Tyson ça se voit qu'il y avait du dopage chez ses adversaires à l'époque et que malheureusement on testait pas les opposants de Tyson.
That night in 1996 Evander Holyfield literally looks a legend. Took everything Tyson had and gave it back. 96 Holyfield could have beaten almost anyone that day. Incredible fight. Makes today’s heavyweights look like journeymen AT BEST.
God how I miss real boxing! Skilled, technical, old school boxing. These guys are supreme athletes. We'll never see boxing return to this level the way things are going right now.
no man alive could of taken this much punishment from Tyson like this and still stood upright. Incredible the amount of shots Evander took and kept going. The very definition of heart.
@@ryand141 I personally don't buy the fact that he had a physique like he did right after leaving prison, also considering the fact that nearly anyone was juicing at that time as well to get ahead.
I can't believe Ive missed this fight for so long, this is the most brutal boxing match I've ever seen in my life, this is actualy insane props to HolyField omg!!!
when i was kid and sitting beside my dad , and watched him being both excited and hesitant. cuz he was not able to cheer but just enjoying this intense and legendary match. cuz he liked both of them great fighters! he always explains and introduces them to me while we're sitting together and watching either guy's match . respect for both legends!
That body/uppercut combo (replayed at 5:13) would’ve killed most humans…. Rendered 99.9% of Mike’s former heavyweight opponents unconscious. I think after he landed that combo and Holyfield kept fighting, Mike knew he couldn’t stop him at that point.
This was the fight of the century. it was worth every dime to watch it. two remarkable talented boxers. you can't really see how big Holyfield is. he's huge.
Now this what you call a fight! A Great era for Heavyweight Boxing, Fans back then didnt realize just how good it was, with many genuine contenders for Heavyweight Champion. It hasnt really been the same since
Man, Holyfield was such a warrior. The guy took on every great fighter in one of the greatest heavyweight eras of all time. He lost some, sure, but dude never backed down from anyone. Hell of a fighter.
Also, Holyfield never gave up. Tyson quit in the middle of his last pro fight. Holyfield would have fought to his literal death before he quit. Absolute warrior.
Also Lennox Lewis and Lewis was like 3 years older than Tyson and Holly field was 5 years older .Mike is one of the greatest ,But lost 3 of His 6 losses come to these Titans along Buster and 2 when Tyson was way out His Prime .
This literally was the beginning of the end of Mike Tyson's career.. Evander Holyfield was Mike's nemesis. And I admire both of them. Mike will always be the champ in my eyes.
@@user-sg8kq7ii3yThe only reason why Buster won was because Mike didn’t train for that fight. But to be honest Mike still won that fight because when he knocked Buster down the ref gave a 14 second count instead of 10 seconds which would have made Mike the winner 🏆
@@kephale1 If Mike didn't train, then that's his fault, and he deserved to get demolished like he did. If an NFL team gets to the SuperBowl, and they decide not to practice for the big game, and they get demolished, they can't say after the fact, "Well, we lost because we didn't really practice seriously for it." No one will care. People make their own decisions on what they want to do with their time. And they live with the consequences.
@@kephale1 Also, you, obviously, don't understand boxing at all. The referee gives a 10-COUNT. A 10 COUNT is NOT THE SAME as 10 SECONDS. Also, the referee's COUNT is the official count. So all Buster is obligated to do is to follow the referee's COUNT, and get up before the count of 10, which he easily did. Next, before the referee starts his 10-COUNT, he first had to send Tyson to a neutral corner. Once Tyson is in his neutral corner, only then does he begin his count. Next, Buster was never hurt. Yes, he was knocked down, but he was never hurt. As soon as he hit the canvas, he slammed his fists on the canvas because he was angry at himself for getting careless. A hurt fighter CANNOT slam is fists on the canvas if he's hurt badly. Buster explained it himself that he got careless because he was amazed at how easily he was beating up Tyson. He said he was landing punch after punch so easily, so he actually stopped to admire his work. That's when Tyson caught him. Lastly, Tyson also got a long count when he got knocked down, but, unlike Buster, Tyson was in no condition to continue. He couldn't even locate his mouthpiece. Just needed to educate you a bit. Have a great day!

@@TicMoney1985 Tyson won 4 of the first 5 rounds. Holyfield took advantage with the headbutts as usual.
Tyson is a great boxer but not a legend a legend should be respected in and out of the ring.
@@mrwirta8172 And Mike Tyson is, lol.
Tyson and Holyfield event in round 11 they were still fast and showing amazing boxing skills! When I watched the last fight between Tyson Fury and Wilder, by round 8, they were fighting like 60-year-olds. Boxing back then was amazing!
The two were real mandingos. No joke.
Bro these guys today couldn't compete with Holyfield, Tyson etc. Even Lewis who I wasn't a fan of, but definitely was great. They would have beat the piss out of Fury and Wilder especially lol. These guys today in the heavy division are bums.
Either don't have the grit, or skills, or natural ability. All the real heavyweight athletes are going to football, basketball etc. Not boxing. So we're left with guys like Wilder, Fury fat Ruiz etc

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 chorão BB buaaa filho da mamãe menina mimada
Evander took several punches that would have knocked out any other fighter!! He took those punches and gave them right back to the most dangerous puncher ever!!! What a fight!!!!
Mike was a combination puncher. Almost everyone he beat he knocked down 5/6 times and stopped by ref. Most dangerous puncher ever no way. And Tyson himself has discussed this. Shavers Foreman Liston would literally KO a guy with 1 punch. Tyson had to throw with devastating speed and combinations once that went he got beat easy.
You have to knock the champ out though my father said that. During this fight you have to knock him out to win this fight he was not knocked out

@@JohnKlanac-yo5bqdude he was
Heard a name called "SUNNY FUCKING LISTON" Tyson and even george foreman said they were intimidated to that giant and guess what the great Ali defeated that beast twice thats why he is the great
Kind of wondering why Holyfield doesn't have more name recognition this guy was a monster. I know he was well known but I think he deserved more.
He kept fighting after his prime
Holyfield really fits his ring name the "Real Deal"
I’m pretty sure he was on PEDs this fight
@@JuggheadJones nearly everbody was doping during the 90s (roy, tyson, holyfied, toney, etc..) before they started to test them properly
Give tyson what holyfield was on and he kills the headbutt man
Two of my favourite boxers. I always admire raw power earned from hard training. These men are legends. Congrats and respect to both fighters.
This was the era when you Got your money's worth. it'll probably never be the same
Not really. Well, maybe this fight for sure. But how many Tyson fights were over before they started. Imagine paying $1000+ to watch a fight that lasted 60 seconds. Hope there were some good undercard fights.
Those people who thrown their money to get a ticket for watching this fight, absolutely can not think that one day they will became a part of a LEGEND

Maybe in 4-6 years from now we’ll see a heavyweight once again who lays waste to his opponents
Probably applicable to every thing of that era, Music, Movies, Sports (so many superstars all sports saw), life.... 👍
Impressive... 13 or 14 hits at the end of 10th round, and another 10 hits before the referee stops the fight. And Mike stood up all the way! Two legends incredible fight.
Yeah then what wtf happened in fight 2, he was scared of another beating let’s get it out there,fear makes you do out of character behaviour,there’s a size issue too,who knows,but I saw him bite and miss,try to break Holyfield’s arm, he was looking for the exit watch the fight back you’ll see!
@@patrickisaac5302 you right, Holyfield was clearly superior and Mike couldn't loose a second fight the right way, I guess he had to use tricks not to be KO'd for the record LOL Two consecutive fails would have lowered his myth.
@@doctorone1028 Tyson already at a disadvantage against holyfield owing to the big size n weight difference. Tyson fails to land his blows owing to that.
@@hassananas4944 you are right, and wrong, Holyfield is bigger but Tyson is heavier! Holyfield won the first fight because of his defensive strategy, he was excellent facing Tyson in short distance. He wouldnt give Tyson a chance to blow his uppercut.
@@doctorone1028 i agree. But only add, that holyfield's that ability to keep tyson at arm's length, or successfully block his blows with elbows and fist before it reaches the target , comes from his long hands, which is a natural advantage.
These guys are monsters in boxing. These punches are dead punches. Evander is truly a champion of all times.
Fought everybody in their prime. Didn't duck anybody. Bowe 3 times, Tyson twice, Lewis twice, and a bunch more. Great, great, American Champion.

watch UFC lol respect to Mike and Evander but thats insane compared to glove boxing
I remember watching this fight when I was 5 years old. Boxing was such an event back then. The heavy weight division was awesome.
Yeah, so many great boxers who were also great and captivating characters.
Tyson Fury is bringing it back. You can put guys like Fury and Tyson in any era and they will always be right up there at the top.
But now boxing/mma to this day is literally a joke because Jake paul and other youtubers are ruining these type of sports for money.
Watching this after Netflix to see a real fight
For the first time in his life, Tyson was not the monster, which every one knew him as. For Holyfield he was just a tough opponent, not a monster.
Tyson was still a ferocious opponent but by the time of this fight he'd passed his peak and was vulnerable enough for a solid fighter to get at him.
@@Evemeister12evander is not a solid fighter he was of the greats 😭

Lol... He is Usyk who has any chance
I think Tyson knew Holyfield wasn't intimidated by him and once Tyson lost that psychological hold of fear on his opponent it changed the dynamics of Mike Tyson performance. Holyfield was fearless and that by itself crippled Tyson.
Nah, people are gonna make up other excuses for Mike's loss.
One real person here.
Well said and TRUE!!!
Defeat has many sources, and this was one of them.
Tyson depended on his aura of fear to win a lot of his matches enable to get into the opponents head. Holyfield wasn’t even shook
I miss old Mike Tyson he deserves and always will be the best no matter how old he is Jake Paul did not deserve to win it was so rigged like if you think I’m right
Please like this took me so long
I love Mike ,but I love those who beat him even more.
How does that work😂
@@slayyalldayyyyy22 he's a hater 😂
Le problème c'est que vu les coups qu'il se prend et quand on connaît la puissance de Tyson ça se voit qu'il y avait du dopage chez ses adversaires à l'époque et que malheureusement on testait pas les opposants de Tyson.
Agreed
i mean he was out of prime but yeah
That night in 1996 Evander Holyfield literally looks a legend. Took everything Tyson had and gave it back. 96 Holyfield could have beaten almost anyone that day. Incredible fight.
Makes today’s heavyweights look like journeymen AT BEST.

Holyfield was a MEAN sob in that ring. He had absolutely no fear whatsoever. And such a good dude outside the ring
when i was kid and sitting beside my dad , and watched him being both excited and hesitant. cuz he was not able to cheer but just enjoying this intense and legendary match. cuz he liked both of them great fighters! he always explains and introduces them to me while we're sitting together and watching either guy's match . respect for both legends!
That body/uppercut combo (replayed at 5:13) would’ve killed most humans…. Rendered 99.9% of Mike’s former heavyweight opponents unconscious. I think after he landed that combo and Holyfield kept fighting, Mike knew he couldn’t stop him at that point.

Came to watch this after Mike Tyson and Jake Paul fight. Both did well
This literally was the beginning of the end of Mike Tyson's career.. Evander Holyfield was Mike's nemesis. And I admire both of them. Mike will always be the champ in my eyes.
Buster Douglas was the beginning of the end. Buster showed the world that Tyson was human. Buster showed the blueprint on how to beat Tyson.
@@user-sg8kq7ii3yeh i have to disagree. Buster douglas showed that mike tyson is finally slacking off. Holyfield was truly the beginning of the end
@@user-sg8kq7ii3yThe only reason why Buster won was because Mike didn’t train for that fight. But to be honest Mike still won that fight because when he knocked Buster down the ref gave a 14 second count instead of 10 seconds which would have made Mike the winner 🏆
@@kephale1 If Mike didn't train, then that's his fault, and he deserved to get demolished like he did. If an NFL team gets to the SuperBowl, and they decide not to practice for the big game, and they get demolished, they can't say after the fact, "Well, we lost because we didn't really practice seriously for it."
No one will care. People make their own decisions on what they want to do with their time. And they live with the consequences.
@@kephale1 Also, you, obviously, don't understand boxing at all. The referee gives a 10-COUNT. A 10 COUNT is NOT THE SAME as 10 SECONDS. Also, the referee's COUNT is the official count. So all Buster is obligated to do is to follow the referee's COUNT, and get up before the count of 10, which he easily did.
Next, before the referee starts his 10-COUNT, he first had to send Tyson to a neutral corner. Once Tyson is in his neutral corner, only then does he begin his count.
Next, Buster was never hurt. Yes, he was knocked down, but he was never hurt. As soon as he hit the canvas, he slammed his fists on the canvas because he was angry at himself for getting careless. A hurt fighter CANNOT slam is fists on the canvas if he's hurt badly. Buster explained it himself that he got careless because he was amazed at how easily he was beating up Tyson. He said he was landing punch after punch so easily, so he actually stopped to admire his work. That's when Tyson caught him.
Lastly, Tyson also got a long count when he got knocked down, but, unlike Buster, Tyson was in no condition to continue. He couldn't even locate his mouthpiece.
Just needed to educate you a bit. Have a great day!
Love how violent this fight is. All fights should be like this.
Then go watch Subriel Matias one of his opponents left on a stretcher and died in the hospital
