That’s what Douglas used as his blueprint to beat him. Plus a unmotivated drug and sex crazed Tyson and hyper motivated boxer like buster was a disaster ready to happen. I think buster woulda won had it gone the 12 also but he did get a slow count in round 8 so Tyson could or should have gotten the win. So many what if’s. Regardless it was probably a blessing because he would have eventually lost to another great like foreman or Lennox or holycheat or bowe. At least with Douglas he can say it was a lucky fight and was unprepared and took it lightly. If he would have lost to another great like the above mentioned it would have tarnished his reputation and legacy far worse than buster did. Regardless still a great HW champ. Imagine being 5’10 and go fight 6’ plus monster like 6’3” 6’5” guys. Takes balls for sure and great skill and power and fearlessness even though he admitted being scared in all his fights but never threatened. Fear is a great motivating factor in all aspects of life especially physical sports or competition

Tillis was very effective, just lacked the power to knock Mike out. His scoring and straight hitting was impressive, he was very skilled.

Mike took a lot of shot but because Tillis was moving so much he couldn't hit mike with any strength either but it was a good lesson for Mike to know that a guy can train just as hard as you.

Some of the most average fighter looked thier best against Mike because they knew and trained to go against the best in history. Alot of these guys only claim to fame was facing Mike, and they realized to get in ring with Mike you just cemented your name in history books. Tyson carried that division and made qlot of men alot of money.

Tillis was a solid gatekeeper type and fought one of his best fights ever. This also showed, among other fights, that just because his opponent survives 5 rounds doesn't mean Tyson folds and packs it in. They fight in 1988 and Tyson knocks him out.

Josh foreman Mike Tyson fades in later rounds. Frazier does not. Tyson hits harder than Frazier, but Ali had an iron chin. Tyson would need to knock out Ali in the first 5 rounds to beat Ali. Considering an old Larry Holmes went 4 rounds vs all that Tyson Power, I think it’s safe to say a prime Ali survives the Tyson onslaught and beats Tyson by decision or late 11th round stoppage. Same for a prime Larry Holmes. Side note Holyfield said Forman punches harder than Mike Tyson. Forman could not knock out Ali.

Tillis fought a great fight. I like watching these older fights again because I pick up things missed watching live. Tyson was shorter than most if not all fighters he faced. I feel that was a disadvantage that he overcame well. Tyson was susceptible to uppercuts and many of his opponents didn't utilized it enough. However some did use uppercuts and were successful. Tillis didn't throw many in this fight. He traded well and used a good jab and some fast combinations. Mike was usually coming forward and would pummel with great body shots. It's funny to hear commentary about Mike Tyson not knocking out an opponent. Eventually there would be someone to take him the distance and that was good for Tyson.

Very impressive performance.

Tillis set the blueprint for taller boxers to counter Mike's peekaboo styles. Great fight!!!

Tillis's career record was 42 and 22. This gives you a good idea of how Tyson would've done against a prime Ali or a prime Foreman.

There are guys who went the distance with Ali when he was young who had even worse records. That tells you how well these old guys would have done against Tyson. Plus Tillis was 31-9 when he fought Tyson.

Both fighters fight like two tigers who no one step back or give up. Respect to both of them. Great Fight Event

What a fight from both fighters 👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾👌🏾

Absolute great commentary

Mike is confused of a moving Tillis, and some say he would have defeated a prime Ali. Remember, his hands cannot hit what his eyes cannot see. Ali would have jabbed, moved, and grabbed all night while dancing on his feet.

Watch this fight in 86. Tillis had a lot of heart ❤

TEENAGE MIKE TYSON , 7 week Layoff from training because he fell off his Pigeon coop & was in the Hospital, still learning & developing because he wasnt at his full prime yet, i would say this was a great learning experience for TYSON, & it definitely made him a better fighter after, Especially when he got bigger, stronger & better in late 87 & 88 & destroyed TYRELL BIGGS, PINKLON THOMAS, TONY TUBBS, LARRY HOLMES, CARL WILLIAMS, FRANK BRUNO & MICHAEL SPINKS, the TYSON who developed & destroyed those men was a whole DIFFERENT ANIMAL than the Younger pre prime less experienced TYSON who fought JAMES TILLIS

Wow, ThnkU for posting this fight. 👍👍 One of the Best in its Era. James/Holmes were both Ali students and what a match that would have been to see them fight in there Primes. Pure Artform. James showed the "cracks" in Tyson that other bigmen exploited. Box him, keep your distance(jab off) and DONT give Mike the inside Game where he would rip your liver out.👊👊

Heavyweights fighting like that for 10 rounds (30 minutes). It's almost like a non marathon runner going top speed for 30 minutes, you might die.

True but Tyson was still developing. I saw their 4 rounds exhibition in 1987 at November and their sparring sessions for Biggs fights and Tyson completely dominated Tillis, that in 1986 he was in great shape but I throwed fast punches and running in the Ring, not really hit with bad intentions.

Poderia ter sido empate nessa luta também né. Tillis eram um boxeador bem medíocre, tinha perdido 4 das 5 lutas anteriores mas ainda assim ele conseguiu ganhar 4 de 10 rounds nessa luta e só perdeu por causa do knockdown também.

Everytime Tyson hits after the bell and gives him the look " let's go " I understand why alot of men feared Tyson! Jesus he just wouldn't want to stop. We will never see boxing of this caliber born in 2023 . I wish and wait for it but I doubt we will ever see an 18 year old heavy wieght champion again.

Holyfield beat him very differently. He stayed inside and knew how to slip and roll and return fire something Tyson was not used to. Holyfield used his physical strength to make Tyson move backwards negating his power and sending the message as to who was boss. I loved seeing the bully bullied.

He connected with Tyson a lot. Nobody ever taught Tyson how to fight going backwards. It ended up being a problem later on.

Tillis fought one hell of a fight, this is one of the few Tyson matches where people got their monies worth.
