Street to Ring to Prison: The Reggie Gross Journey with Mike Tyson!
The fight between Mike Tyson and Reggie Gross took place in 1986 and lasted less than three minutes. Despite Gross's reputation as a tough fighter with a history of upsetting unbeaten records, Tyson managed to knock him out spectacularly in just one round.
Gross, also known as "Rugged Reggie," had a troubled upbringing similar to Tyson's, having lost his father at a very young age and getting involved in criminal activities early on. Despite his talent in boxing, Gross was also involved with a violent drug gang in his native Baltimore.
Standing at 6ft 3in, Gross had a promising career in boxing under the guidance of trainer Mack Lewis, accumulating a 14-0 record, including a victory over future world champion 'Prince' Charles Williams. However, his involvement with drugs and the tragic death of his son affected his boxing career negatively.
Gross's fight against Tyson on HBO was a significant moment in his career, despite the outcome. Tyson, aware of Gross's reputation as a spoiler in the ring, managed to land a savage left hook that ultimately put Gross down. Little did Tyson know at the time that Gross would later be convicted of committing three brutal murders as contract killings for a drug gang.
Overall, the Tyson vs. Gross fight serves as a reminder of the complexities and dark realities often associated with the world of boxing and the lives of some of its participants.

His transition from defensive position to attack position and adopting that position for the left hook was a legendary . Perhaps this is the best left hook in the history of boxing. this is gold
That actually almost knocked me out watching it
Mike Tyson was an era in the history of the world boxing. A legend with a class

@@eddielobos1092 But in all actuality the ref didn't do what he had to do. But instead the ref was playing politics. For he knew the power that be, and the fans were in favour of Tyson. So like most referees he took the first opportunity to give the fight to the A side, or cash cow, or biggest name, or any other type of boxer that receives favoritism from the boxing community.
Je me souviens d'un commentaire, de l'ancien champion de boxe, et regretté Jean Claude Bouttier, quand il nous présentait le tout jeune Mike Tyson, lors de son ascension fulgurante, figeant tous ces rivaux, dès les premières minutes du combat. Alors que son adversaire s'apprêtait à monter sur le ring, il disait : '' Le front commence à perler, le souffle devient court, le coeur palpite... Visiblement, ce boxeur présente tous les symptômes de la tysonite aigüe ! '' Ah ! Ah !... Que de souvenirs, de nos nuits blanches !

Man, if he just could have maintain that bobbing and weaving element to his defensive game! 😱 He let that technique get away, and it cost him in future battles.

IRON MIKE - THE CHAMP!
No conosco ningún buen boxeador algún ex campeón que Tyson le allá ganado,cuando ganaba a mediocres boxeadores estaba re bien entrenado pero cuando perdía con boxeadores de verdad ese día no estaba bien descansado etc,las únicas peleas de Tyson que me gustaron fue contra Holfied y contra Lenox Lewis pero me quedo con la de Lenox esa fue la que más me gustó.
That's what you get for gross misconduct
Laku noć!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
