2 Rounds Mike
Tyson will demolish his opponent.
Punish and destroy
Tyson one hundred the better
Did I miss that punch??
I feel like having a height advantage over Mike is kinda useless lmao. Cuz now you gotta reach down to get his body and you put your face right in the zone where he can just reach out and touch you lmao
Mike Tyson was and still is and always will be a BEAST!
Imagine this Mike fighting Jake Paul 😂😂😂
Where's the punch that turned a black man white?
Oh yeah jake paul is defo screwed 🤣
My strategy for fighting Tyson in his prime can be summed up in one word: DON’T
I watched both fights live & Maaannnn!!
Paul vs. TYSON WHO YOU GOT?
Tyson never had a fight with a good fighter everyone he knocked out was weak not ever fighters Tyson is a joke Half of them just dropped to the floor
Just so you guys know, this is the man who Jake Paul is gonna fight
هههههه
Boxing is a disgusting 'sport'
I remember that punch, he sent the guy flying into the 30th row
Even though Tyson had a lot of power, what was scary about him was that he could take a real beating against guys that he fought.
O M G
Iron Mike
Jake Paul should watch this and see what is going to happen to him. 😆
I must remember the name Pure Boxing, to make sure i never waste my time watching one of their crap videos ever again.
This is how bait clicks are made. Block channels like this
Jake bite the dust
Anyone else catch the mouth guard getting kocked outta Donovan’s mouth 😂 at 7:10
2:33 my man saw heaven the way he smiling 🤣
Jesus loves you all
That left hook!
Absolutely fantastic review of a great piece of boxing history. Thank you for taking the time and effort to share this gem!
So is the punch that terrified everybody in part 2 or something?
At the moment, this upcoming fight between him and Jake Paul is the most viral.
Guys, just letting you know. Ruddock was a worthy opponent for Tyson and he never flew out of the ring
10 minutes of video to show 1 millisecond punch?
The fighters: embrace. Their staff: Time to throw down!
Misleading the name of this movie! Where and when was this Mike's PUNCH???
I hate it when yall post these false ass previews
False advertisement, don’t waste your time watching this video
Amazing that Ruddock could take all those Tyson punches to the head and still be standing, more less going the distance! Most boxers would have been floored by just a couple of those!
Misleading caption for sure. Good fight but you didn’t have to manipulate to get viewers
Mike, Please teach this generation how MEN used to fight back then.
Imagine getting in the ring with this guy. Unbelievable that Jake Paul actually wants to fight Tyson.
Wi.miss u mike
Thats the cover super knockout an NES game. Someone has a sense of humor
