Mitch Green did very very well considering it was Mike Tyson he was fighting

That's because Mike wanted to drag out the fight on purpose to teach him a lesson , Mike could have knock him out at anytime , he said that when the fight was over 😂

Pretty sure Mike was basically teasing him the entire match. Mike was showboating and dancing while slipping punches, cause he genuinely did not like Mitch at the time.

Why would Mike want to knock out his favorite drug dealer 😂
Di era nya bahkan goliath sekalipun akan tumbang. Tyson bukan sekedar petinju tapi seorang pejuang sejati
At least blood didn't run like many! He just ran into a machine, meaning Tyson!
Green was Tough as Hell

I saw Mitch Green on the NYC subway a few years ago. He didn’t look so good. However, I always said if Mitch Green had a better trainer and stayed off those drugs, he would have had a GREAT CAREER!!!!! He had Game! Punching power, Athleticism, Long Reach, A talented Boxer and Brawler. Drugs just got the Best of him! He was a damn good boxer who wasted his potential!

No one could take the punches that Mitch Green took from Tyson; what we see of him here resembles an invincible beast that feels no pain.

Shut up
Voleva fare il bullo con Tyson, Mike gli ha fatto capire come stanno le cose, sia sul ring che in strada
El mejor de todos los tiempos mike
Dude thought he was gangsta and Mike said hold my beer….
What’s so impressive is Tyson was only 218 lbs
Tyson has an amazing style
Damn Blood Man was tough
sometimes I feel like boxing is also a game of luck. all it takes is one punch on the right spot
This guy got solid chin!
Mike was probably in his prime here. Before all the glitz and glam of being champ. Cus may even have still been alive too. So we have to give props to Mitch for this performance
it's a long fight... i've been watching for over an hour and they're still beating the crap out of each other.
RIP Mitch, great memories @ Times Square Boxing Gym
People don’t understand how much stamina Mike had too. That played a big factor in this fight
Mitch Green looks like hes being punished , but the Paycheck was worth it ............. smile
Bro was a full time gangster, part time boxer and swung it out with prime Mike
Why don't you ask Mitch blood green who gave him an eye pepper in New York City what a fool that man was
Mike Is tougher than a rock He was born a winner
Mitch is one Tough mother. He even punched on with Mike bare knuckle at a club..
When you realize Tyson was actually fighting shonuff from the last dragon 😂 he hit him so hard he was.....shaking like a polaroid picture
Tyson is the champ that we admire, but at the same time, no sad feeling when he was beaten...
To his credit, Green DID manage to NOT get knocked out - quite a rarity in a Tyson fight.
The way to take Greene out was the body. Somehow, he didn't go down after the head beating.
Mitch stood his ground
When you’re fighting with Tyson have in mind that you’re faced with a lethal and extremely wild tiger, by the way just consider yourself dead anything can happen this man is very ruthless
Mitch “Blood” Green. He went the distance with prime Mike. Prime Ali would have done much better than Mitch on this night.
Each arm feels like 10kg after few rounds😮
Tyson said later that Green was on PCP when he fought him.
I liked Mitch Green
Green may have lost but he is one hell of a fighter

My respect for Green.
Mitch Green was in C-76 back in 92 we had to jump dude for trying to run the TV. We was watching videos and he turned the TV. He stood up talking shit and we just rushed his ass but once he got up we ran to our cells. No one was trying to catch them hands😅😅😅
самый лучший боксёр в мире Тйсон
Green wasn't afraid of Mike at all. He lost but didn't get knocked out
Mouth piece went flying LMAO 🤣
For an untrained boxer the gang leader did damn well.
No matter how big they were Mike didn't duck no reck
Got to hand it to green ,he was tough dude
Mitch was a badman the first to go tie to toe with Mike
The only gang green was running was the local scouts gang 😂🤣😂
He went in with Jerry Curl & came out with a perm. 😂🤣😅🤭
Mike is a real
Then Mike beat his ass and broke his eye socket on the street.
This was the first of 2 ass whoopings by Mike
He may have been a gang leader but in the ring there was only one leader.
Tyson had a lot of good body shots but missed many head shots The trick is to keep going!
Can't even Mitch green stand tall fighting Tyson
Tyson just keeps coming ..
I stood beside mitch green, im 5 .11. Can't imagine getting in the ring with him .he's a bad ass.

タイソンの凄さはその壊れない拳や身体が素晴らしい人でしたね！唯一無二ですね！
Green a tough man
The street fight between them was worse . Mike closed his eye
The thing about Tyson, and I'm not trying to take away his greatness, is that he never had a great field, always fought, by and large, journeymen.
Mitch Green was not a pushover, nor was he scared. Mike Tyson was just better.
They had Mitch hyped up on some drugs so he would stay in there with Mike for the fight made him feel like he was super man they found out later on Mike said
ЖЕЛЕЗНЫЙ МАЙК 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪
"i feel lucky with the tinder date tonight" ...

Green parlayed talking trash to an actual fight. If he had some formal training, he might have been good. The streets won. Most guys fight formally to get off the streets. But Mitch wanted the ring AND strret cred.
I wish Lennox L would have fought this Tyson
Mike Is an making the combat
When was the last time a HW fight had this kind of action?
Mike Tyson beat the crap out of this guy on the street too. I don’t remember if it was a nightclub or a clothing store. I remember that Mitch’s face in the paper he was messed up.
