We have let’s briefly recall how it all began Tyson was often bullied for his high voice and lisp which provided fuel for Tyson’s fighting ways Tyson started fighting his bullies and he quickly found out that he had a gift but the violence and the street life only

Brought more misery for Tyson who was arrested 38 times by the time he was 13 years old Tyson’s criminal Behavior landed in the tron school for boys a reform school in Upstate New York that is where Tyson met Juvenile Detention Center counselor Bobby Stewart who was a former amateur

Boxing champion I remember the day when mik came us I remember the first time laying eyes on him and they brought him in in handcuffs um and he found out that I was an ex fighter and he asked one of the staff how can I meet Stewart finally I

Went to the to his room when night and I banged on his door to intimidate him I said so you want to meet me what what the hell do you want he said I want to be a fighter I said so the rest of these other all the rest of these other guys

They haven’t got to to work to be a fighter Stuart agreed to teach the young Tyson how to box as long as he promised to not use it against other kids Stuart saw how special of a fighter that Tyson was and trained him for months Tyson’s boxing skills were so

Impressive that Stuart introduced Tyson to legendary boxing manager KZ damato and Veteran boxing trainer Teddy adlas it was damato Who is credited with shaping Tyson’s aggressive boxing style Teddy adlas himself recalled the first time he saw a young Tyson he had to impress me and cuz he had to box his

First day with a 27-year-old man who was a professional fighter and he was able to do that said adlas who trained Tyson until the age of 15 Atlas recalled that Tyson was the hardest puncher he had ever trained and was extremely strong when you’re developing a guy who 13 years old and

Opponents by 1981 Tyson boxed in the Junior Olympic Games York June 27th 1981 15-year-old Tyson faced off against Joe Cortez and with just 9 seconds a devastating left hook sent him into a deep sleep but he is unbeaten five and bombs away Jimmy let’s watch this

Carefully because Tyson in the blue is a bomber he’s trained by C no other than cust Amato oh and there it’s all over the right hand there’s his opponent trying to come back and do something and there’s a left and the right and that’s all they wrote

Thus becoming the champion of the Junior Olympic Games in the heavyweight division in 1981 that going to make his pres you tell me what you’re going to do tomorrow I’m go there I’m jab to the Head then I’m a to the body and then I’m going

Capturing the national amateur boxing Crown at the very beginning was something that he did I think it was P there’s a right hand there’s the left there’s another right by Tyson right experience although they’re they’re matched in in the same we class looking him he’s just in 1983 17-year-old Tyson under the

Guidance of his mentor KZ deato decided to participate in his first Golden Gloves tournament and compete for the national title in the 2011 plus pound weight class cruising through the first three days of the competition Tyson was set to face the 22-year-old Payne a well-known amateur heavyweight

In their fight Tyson who competed out of the Red Corner continuously pressured his opponent however Craig Payne was Elusive and rolled with Tyson’s offense without facing much trouble however he found little success with his offense and the younger fighter was definitely the aggressor in the fight come Craig the side m

Pressing the action throughout the three rounds of the fight Tyson was confident of the win but judges saw the fight other ways the crowd Jered as pain was announced as the super heavyweight Golden Gloves champion of 1983 a heartbroken Tyson shook his head and left the ring shortly

After after a frustrating loss and disqualification in his next bout on August 12th 1983 at the Ohio State Fair in the heavyweight semi-finals Mike easily defeated his next opponent tough boxer Jerry gof from Mississippi Mike approached this fight with his usual aggression despite G’s significant size Advantage his opponent couldn’t keep the

Young Mike at Bay at the end of the first round a verbal altercation erupted between the fighters further fueling Tyson’s rage and proving fatal for Goff in the second round the insane speed and Fury with which our hero entered the second round left his opponent no chance realizing he couldn’t withstand

Such pressure golf resorted to clenching and tying up Tyson but at the end of the round Tyson seized the moment and delivered his signature right hand staggering Jerry and Then followed up with a double blow sending his opponent to the canvas in the final of the same tournament Mike faces oion Alexander

Nick named baby o the beginning of the fight sees Mike dominating at the end of the first round Iron Mike Corners his opponent and delivers a brutal right straight ending the bout decisively in his favor in 1984 Mike won the national Golden Gloves registering four Knockouts along

The way in the final he faced Jonathan littes who tried every possible way to escape from The Young Beast unfortunately for littes Mike’s left hook predicted the outcome of that battle not in his favoring four K on the way having W gold at the Junior Olympics

In 19 1981 and 1982 Tyson’s goal was to compete in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles knowing that success there would make him a superstar but the US team had only one spot and Tyson had to fight for it easily defeating his first two opponents Mike faced Henry Milligan in the

Semi-finals Henry realized within the first minute of the fight what it was like to be in the ring with a beast again the crowds in disapproval because he can paralyze you with those blows Tyson is such a terrific enjoying some boxing that’s the instruction he got in the corner between rounds stay

Away from him in the middle of the second round Mike Unleashed his monstrous right hand which would later become legendary in the heavyweight division prompting the referee to start the count right there standing eight just done this is the first standing eight it was a right as you

Saw a couple of seconds later another knockdown and the referee barely restrained himself from stopping the fight counts no more a single quickly with inou this is the standing the poor opponent of Tyson sought salvation but a combination of six punches the last of which landed precisely On Target sent him to the

Canvas he’s just 7g how good is he going to become I think he’s going to be heavweight Champion the world one day does he need a lot of work on his Fox things the El well needs a lot of experience a lot of fights he’s only had

I believe about 18 to 25s most of the which wi in the early RS so it doesn’t constitute a great steal of back to experience he’s far beyond his experience then in the final Tyson faced Henry Tillman who defeated Tyson by a decision of the judges and remarkably

This happened twice within less than a month the action tyad right there than he had against Milligan the young man first round action and you see Tilman quickly moving and we saw very little movement in the W he will not however be one of the four in the first meeting Tyson clearly won

The first but remember that in the amateurs there is no such thing as a 10 to eight round scored for a knockdown that’s key as he did right there and right there for now you look at the replay the right got in and then another right and Tillman started to

Buckle just tomato say the young man will become the heavy as you’ve seen the background different sections of the same barel so we have had one knockdown and we’re still in the first Tillman recovered and went on to win the second and third think back to the heavy the name

Mamed survive only it’s been knock down by DT you watch closely kman and young Tyson only set re blows and then a four to get the T having clawed him once and do it he’s got to knock the points by a huge Mar good hinge on this round Tyson SC is

Knock down Tyson get him into a corner get him against the at the very top of our telecast remember the most noteworthy opponent is going and Banger yeah right there he’s there indeed inside of 50 seconds now left to go Tyson’s come out that way as Stillman

Just keeps working the left using the ring covering up and we’re near the end of the fight Tyson in this fight though there was a first round knockdown the bell and I don’t feel that he can have approved much because everything that he knows now is going to take him through

The pros and wherever he’s going to go where I’m continually approving improving myself and I improved myself on cutting the ring down a lot and I look forward forward to a victory here John Hollis from St Louis Marco safas from LA and quickly Tillman goes to the

Fing you heard Tyson say that’s exactly using that jab as a boxer I me in the second meeting it was the opposite Tillman got one and two in the bank and then began to crumble upon feeling Mike’s power toward the end again two rounds to one

Entitled in this he’s trying to B the action Tyson aggressive posted everywhere didn’t come until the third some little scoring no boxing score aggressive many the aggressive Tyson had done enough to win the bout against the defensively Savvy Tillman including the majority of the crowd in

Vegas who loudly booed the 4 to1 judges decision the winner in the heavyweight Division and an established member of the 1984 Olympic team from Los Angeles California in the Red Corner henryman his blood boiling Tyson left the ring walked out of the venue and with his hand still taped began

Pummeling a cedar tree out inside the boxing Pavilion damato watched for a minute then came over to stop him when he felt Tyson had worked off his rage a month later at the Empire State games of the same year young Mike Tyson faced the resilient and worthy boxer Winston Bennett Tyson demonstrates some

Raw talent and enthusiasm in the fight which he would fully unleash in his pro career perhaps Bennett’s biggest mistake in this bout is not utilizing his height and reach Advantage instead he chooses to remain stationary and exchange blows with Tyson Tyson deliberately taunted Bennett to provoke an emotional response and engage

Him in a brawl dropping his guard the fight mostly goes according to Tyson’s terms Bennett fails to deal with Tyson’s aggressive Style Iron Mike like a predator relentlessly pursues his wounded prey and then comes the moment everyone was waiting for Tyson waiting for the right moment delivers his signature below knocking

Bennett down and then as they say it’s all over but the shouting then Bennett was doomed ladies and gentlemen 7 Days Later in the final match of the US National Junior 9 championships Mike Tyson faces his old rival Kil Brown for the third time Texas stands

6 here we go Tyson built like Joe Fraser and this time Brown failed to learn from past encounters repeating the same mistakes Brown not doing much to use his height advantage and he’s in trouble here in round one still in round one it could end any

Time with Mike tyon it was evident to everyone that Iron Mike could knock out his opponent whenever he wanted but he didn’t rush savoring every moment of the fight I said always hurt K BR he hits like Sledgehammer after a series of knockdowns the referee makes the decision to stop the

Fight how Brown continues to St I don’t knowt careful what he’s inside a game start round round almost put a knee up to defend himself I don’t want to say the Killer Instinct but he does put away his opponent look at that almost a knee up to defend himself by k

R class boxing out of the blue Corner Michael tyon Mike in October 1984 Mike heads to Finland for the Tammer tournament where he secures another victory in the final against the swed hacken Brock after failing to make the US Olympic team damato believed that his Prodigy was ready to turn pro Tyson’s

First professional boxing match came at the age of 18 and it was a scary warning shot to every other heavyweight fighter but that’s a whole different story
