Excellent review.

Holy christ, Tyson is a goddamn legend. I may not have been alive when Mike was at his best, but looking back at who he was leaves me in awe of the man. Looking at my own struggles, hellish as they may be and have been, I feel like he proves I still have so much farther to go in life. Iron Mike feels like, to me at least, a representation of a spirit that refuses to fold against any odds, when some of us can’t seem to win, he proves its possible, sending opponents and struggles alike down again and again. I would be lying if I said a lot if what motivates me to keep going nowadays didn’t stem from Tyson’s warrior spirit. So on that note.. thanks Mike, you’ve given me a lot of help, more than you’ll ever know, and I really doubt I’m alone in that.

Cus had Mike using a 300 pound punching bag that most other boxers refused to train on. It was used to train short heavyweights with limited reach but bring more crushing power in close proximity to their opponent. Marciano trained in the same scenario but had 3 more inches of reach than Mike had. Mike was eventually eased off the 300 pound bag as Cus thought Mike would develop microfractures in his hands. So on they went to training on the water bags. Simply amazing the tutelage by D’Amato in his final act.

Well this is a gem of a KZread channel.

Mike is such an amazing master. He not only knew the precise second to strike and almost ALWAYS hit his target. But I've never watched anyone so skilled at avoiding punches! He almost always gets out of the way. Everything about Mike is next level! A champion unlike any other.

You really are amazing at creating content like this, should do some more boxing and MMA.

Love these. I was just about too young to appreciate him at the time. He was always Drederick Tatum to me 😊 Do Lennox next pls

I really appreciate the update on the opponents.

Great Series!!!

Great video keep up the hard work

Cus d'amato was a bright guy for sure. But I still believe that Tyson has a higher IQ and would have been brilliant if someone took care of him at school. His vocabulary and the manner in which he expresses himself is quite amazing for a kid from the streets.

One the the best defensive boxing skills that I’ve ever seen, defensive with the purpose and hunger always creating an opportunity to finish his unfortunate opponent. Unbeatable Iron Mike T 😎

Nice work putting this together engulfing to the end.

Reggie’s gameplan and/or composure was off. He had to know after Tillis fight his best chance was to try to tie Tyson up and slow the fight down. It only took a split second to get knocked out in an exchange with Tyson.

OMG! They don't give this enough recognition. How do you hit Tyson that many times, with a uppercut at the end then Tyson finished him with one freaking shot 😳. DETERMINED AND FOCUSED!!! That's why I love this guy man.

It’s amazing how he just ate that uppercut and just barely reacted.. and then proceeded to duck and weave into his devastating hook to the head. What a great fight.

Your edits are the best I've ever seen

No comments about how Tyson doesnt back up like 99.9% of boxers would after that first pop - then he withstands the barage without stepping back - then gives one shot to level his opponent. Simply amazing.
