Mike Tyson - All Knockouts of the Legend

I believe he will be the youngest heavyweight champion of all time, and if he remains dedicated, interested, and without any distractions, I believe that eventually he'll go down in history as the greatest heavyweight champion we've ever had. Returning to the past, we will see a man who has become a great icon of boxing. First of all, I would like to thank C for putting in all the hard work, and I would like to say hello to all my family back home.

I knew from the beginning, but everybody else didn’t. It was no competition, it was no competition—let's say that. A lot of people came to look.

Jesse Ferguson came to look, the Fraziers came to look, James Broad was out there—Jam! All of you, all of you, come get some, 'cause Mike Tyson's out here, and he's waiting for you. All come get some!

[Music] He was called the baddest man on the planet for his incredible punching power and aggressive fighting style. His speed, strength, and vicious aggression earned him the title of the youngest world heavyweight champion in 1986. He is Iron Mike Tyson.

Today we will show you all of the most brutal and aggressive knockouts of the legendary Iron Mike. UT by Tyson! Tyson!

It poured on—down goes Bruno! [Applause] Mike Tyson made his professional debut on March 6th, 1985, against Puerto Rican Hector Mercedes. From the very beginning of the fight, the 18-year-old Tyson pounced on his opponent without giving him a single chance, swinging hooks to the body from Tyson.

If that is it in round one, that is a pretty impressive professional debut from the man who so nearly went to the Olympics in Los Angeles last year. Mike Tyson versus Trent Singleton in the first round. Mike had a magnificent streak of four punches, the last of which landed right on Singleton's jaw, knocking down Trent.

He got to his feet and continued the fight; however, he could not resist for long. He receives a mandatory eight count under New York State Athletic Commission rules, and already from what little we've seen of Mike Tyson in his pro career, down goes Singleton again! Left uppercut this time to the body, and he's just a perpetual motion machine so far.

This isn’t going to go too long. Trent Singleton is in all sorts of trouble; we're already in round one. The Rick Tyson, the young fledgling professional: two fights, two wins.

The debut on the sixth. Mike Tyson versus Don Halpen. In the first minute of the fourth round, Halpen misses several incoming punches, bouncing off the ropes.

Don falls to his knees. He gets up and continues the fight, which did not last long. Can Tyson finish this?

I think so, I think so! That’s enough now! That last right hand—that was questionable.

Tyson celebrates. Mike Tyson versus Ricardo Spain. Shake hands, come out boxing.

Good luck, gentlemen! Mike Tyson, three fights after a series of 12 unanswered blows from Tyson. Spain tried to find salvation in a clinch; immediately after, Mike sends him to the canvas with a left hook hit like a steam hammer.

Ricardo gets up by the count of eight and is immediately sent back to the floor with another powerful left hook. The referee was forced to stop the fight. I don't believe it; that's well inside a minute.

Spain can't believe it! Tyson absolutely destroyed him! Man, Mike Tyson versus Michael Johnson—hold on to your hats!

Nobody thinks it’s going to go that far. Oh, there he goes! He's just going to pull it!

From the very first seconds, Mike begins to attack his opponent, pressing him to the ropes. A left hook to the body sends him into a knockdown. I'm glad you pointed it out, because down he goes!

The left hook just very nearly carried him; dug him in the ribs. Johnson gets up and wants to continue the fight, but a right cross knocks him out! It all there, right to the head, and it's all over!

Goodbye! I hope he's not hurt, because that was a brutal wide-open punch. He did not guard himself, and Mike—Mike Tyson versus Robert Kay—he tipped in.

From the very beginning of the fight, Kay tried to keep Tyson at a distance with a long jab, but taking advantage of his overwhelming speed, Mike leaves his opponent no chance. One, two, three, four, five! [Applause] Mike Tyson versus Sterling Benjamin—in the first round, Mike pushes his opponent to the ropes, then throws a left hook knockdown.

After the referee counted the knockdown, Mike Tyson again pounced on the opponent and launched 12 unanswered punches on him. Literally a second before the referee was about to intervene and stop the beating, Tyson delivers a powerful blow to the liver, and Benjamin is again on the canvas. [Applause] Mike Tyson versus Eddie Richardson.

Round well, you're looking at a very interesting man in height and reach—that’s the A, of course! Right hand! First punch he threw.

From the very beginning of the fight, it became clear that it would not last long. Richardson held his hands low and tried to keep Tyson at a distance with a sluggish jab. After the third clinch, Mike pushes his opponent into the corner of the ring and throws his signature left hook to the head.

Richardson goes back onto the canvas, carrying him through the air, and it’s over! I see right now a major draw and problem in Mike Ty's career, and that's going to be to have a fight long enough to get some good footage on you. I'm telling you what—it’s hard to do Mike Tyson without a doubt!

Mike Tyson versus Conroy Nelson. Round two. Working with a jab, Tyson puts himself in a good position, and taking advantage of Nelson's failed strike, puts a left— Hook into Nelson's jaw.

Conroy falls onto the canvas, becoming a Tyson trademark. Corner well, fight number 13—unlucky 13? I don't think so!

Overhand right, then taking him out with a vicious left hand counted about at 30 seconds of the round. Very good fight experience, Mike Tyson versus Sammy Scaff. Now, look at the height difference—at least 6" in the first round.

In one of the corners, Tyson ducks under his opponent's blows and again lands his signature left hook to the head. By this point, Sammy's face was already covered in blood. Another left hook, and Tyson knocks the opponent down.

The referee stops the fight. Sam Scaff tried to get up; his face is cut. Look at the side of [Music].

Hisse: Mike Tyson versus Mark Young. OPP thinks Mike mightily! In the middle of the first round, Young makes an unforgivable mistake—he walks forward without hitting, completely covering his entire view with his gloves.

Tyson makes a terrific side pull, throwing a powerful right uppercut to the head and knocking down his opponent. The blow throws Young to the ropes from the very middle of the ring. Another victory by knockout—Mike Tyson versus David Jao.

As you might expect, Jao tried to keep Tyson at bay with his jab; however, despite his superiority in arms length and height, he manages to miss Tyson's attacks. At the end of the first round, Tyson began to target his opponent but missed with his powerful left hook. He immediately thrust a right hook into Jao's head.

David is back on the canvas. The referee had no choice but to stop the fight due to the two of three knockdowns. Mike Tyson versus Mike Jameson.

Tyson, in the black trunk, is to be the next heavyweight champion of the world. Tyson after him, and that's the end of round number one. Why don't you use it?

Get that left jab out! Keep this little guy off you! Here comes Tyson!

Mike Tyson takes two steps forward; let's go with a couple of lefts now—a right, left! He's got him down! Mike Tyson sends Mike Jameson to the mat here in round number four.

For young Mike, the applause. In the fifth round, Jameson stepped up noticeably and tried to catch his opponent with a jab in this fight that was moving quickly. Tyson waited, seizing the moment.

He throws his powerful left hook, knocking Jameson back into the ropes. Here, having carried out a four-hit combination on the body with a transfer to the head, Tyson forces his opponent to drop to his knee. Jameson gets up again and wants to continue; however, Joe Cortez felt it would be better for him to stop the fight.

Jameson wants to continue; Referee Joe Cortez says no. Jameson says he wants to go on, but the referee, Joe Cortez, says it is over. In the Mike Tyson versus Jesse Ferguson fight, this fight was supposed to show that Mike Tyson was a serious contender for the world title and not just an exaggerated figure, as many still believed he was.

Sixteen rings—a tremendous left hook! Missed with it and didn't go off balance—always in position to punch. The fifth round presses Ferguson to the ropes, where he carries out his signature combination of a right hook to the body and a right uppercut to the head.

Jesse falls to the canvas. "I think that uppercut broke Ferguson's nose," Jim says. "He is in desperate trouble; he will not last much longer.

" Riva almost did it there; Mike Tyson's known as a great finisher. Let's see how he does with Ferguson! Ferguson, gamely hanging in, having trouble covering up.

Four seconds! Three seconds! Do it!

Tyson's making a mistake by letting himself get this close to him; he must maintain a little distance. Mike Tyson versus Steve. Up with a solid combination!

The third round, Mike continues to work with single punches and forces the opponent to retreat throughout the ring. This could not go on for long! Tyson crouches on his left leg and delivers a lightning-fast left hook to the opponent's head.

It was a classic knockout! Stay up after that one! I don't know!

Mike Tyson versus Reggie Gross. From the very beginning of the fight, it was clear that Reggie Gross was afraid of Tyson. He hits with a jab and then immediately jumps back.

Suddenly, Reggie explodes with a 15-hit combination. He even manages to strike his opponent with an uppercut right in the jaw, but Mike Tyson, having waited for the right moment under the hail of blows, throws his signature left and sends Gross to the canvas. The audience roars with delight.

"You're out! You are out! You can't stand up!

Come on! You can't even walk! You worrying about…" Fight!

Mike Tyson versus William Hosea. Because William Hosea did not seem to be a strong opponent from the very beginning of the fight, a crisp left hook rocks Hosea, and a right uppercut rocks him again. Hosea, after a clinch, Mike catches Hosea with an oncoming left jab and tries to develop the attack with a powerful streak.

Because of the number and strength of the blows, Hosea falls onto the canvas. He was clearly not eager to continue the fight and deliberately did not get up at the count of 10. The referee stopped the fight.

"And I'm ready for the guy, and I've also examined the things Mr Tyson does—his flaws—and I know what I'm going to do for him when he makes those mistakes. " Mike Tyson versus Lorenzo Boyd. Lorenzo Boyd, giving away an awful lot of weight.

. . Tyson, looking for an opening, knows Boyd wants to come in with the uppercut.

Going into close range, Boyd tries to break through Mike's defense but in vain. Tyson calmly approaches him and hits him with his signature combination of a right hook to the body and a right uppercut to the head. Lorenzo falls onto the canvas.

Down goes Lorenzo—boy, count five! The count is six, the count is eight. He will not get up; it's over!

Sam, show me what heavy! Mike Tyson versus Marvis Frazier. Before the fight, commentator Alex Wolo noticed, "The question is not whether Mike Tyson will knock Marvis Frazier out, but when he will knock him out.

" Marvis relies on pressure, stamina, and intensity to beat an opponent. However, that aggressiveness in the first round leads him to make a fatal mistake—walking into the corner. Here, Mike Tyson makes one of his most spectacular combinations.

He catches Frazier with a right uppercut, his legs buckling. This is a knockout! Referee Joe Cortez counted to five; but seeing that Marvis would not get up, he stopped the fight.

Last 20 seconds: Tyson goes over to take a look at Marvis Frazier, obviously quite concerned. A terrific uppercut—the same punch with which Tyson knocked out Jesse Ferguson the first time you saw him here on ABC Sports. Once the uppercut, the right uppercut.

[Applause] Mike Tyson versus Jose [Music] Ribalta, Round 10. After clinching in the middle of the ring, the boxers made a small exchange with powerful punches. The audience cheers for Ribalta and chants, "Jose, Jose!

" Mike clearly doesn't like this and goes on the attack with a powerful right cross to the head. He misses and immediately adds a left to the jaw. Ribalta falls back onto the canvas; he stands up and intends to continue the [Applause] fight.

Hey, you! Tyson immediately pounces on his opponent with a series of blows to the head—all five blows land exactly on target. The referee thought it was time to intervene and stop the fight.

[Applause] Officially, he could— that round, J. Mike Tyson versus Alfonso Ratliff. A year before the fight, Alfonso lost his WBC Cruiserweight title and was considered to be a serious opponent for Mike Tyson's growing experience.

In the second round, after waiting a moment, Mike dodges to the left and lands a powerful left hook to Ratliff's jaw. He falls onto the canvas, rising to one knee. He waits for the referee to count to nine and then stands up.

Mike Tyson rushes to finish and fires a series of eight punches. Ratliff finds salvation in a clinch. After the referee breaks the clinch, Tyson begins beating Ratliff near the ropes—another sign, of course, that you look for is can the man finish?

Tyson has left little doubt about that so far. A right hand— that should be just about it! Davy Pearl is looking very closely, and that's all; it's over.

The bicycle had a flat tire and the [Music] re-. . .

That incidentally is a much more important fight for Tyson: Mike Tyson versus Trevor Berbick. This truly historic fight was dubbed by advertisers as "Doomsday. " It was attended by about 8,800 people, including movie stars and numerous celebrities.

At 20 years, 4 months, and 22 days, Mike Tyson with this victory became the youngest world champion in the history of boxing, surpassing Floyd Patterson. It was not just a duel; it was a total destruction of Trevor [Music] Berbick—down he goes! He should be able to get up from this.

His legs behave as he wants to, and he's counted out. It's scored as a bill; count him up. Mike Tyson versus Pinklon Thomas.

This fight was for the WBC and WBA titles at once. From about the middle of the sixth round, a real beating begins in the ring. Thomas misses an incoming monstrous left hook, then Mike Tyson throws 17 more powerful unanswered blows to the head with both hands.

Pinklon Thomas fell to the canvas. This is a knockout! The referee stops the fight.

Angelo Dundee says, "No, the corner cannot stop a championship fight. " I think he counted him out. I'm not sure if that's going to be scored as a TKO or a knockout.

I think he may have counted him out; we'll have to wait and get the official scoring. Beautiful, beautiful to hear exactly how it goes. I think he had Mike Tyson versus Tyrell Biggs.

The fight lasted until the seventh round. At the very beginning, Tyrell immediately enters the clinch. Tyson strikes from the left; he hits with a forearm and knocks out Biggs's mouthpiece.

Another lingering clinch, and Mike Tyson throws a hard short left strike to Tyrell's temple. Tyrell Biggs falls out of the ropes; his face is covered with blood but he still manages to get up to the count of nine and decides to continue the fight. Breaking the distance a little, Tyson thrusts another left side to the jaw.

The blow was the last for Tyrell Biggs. It's [Applause]. .

. and what we've seen has sotten a fter after rounds. .

. Mike Tyson versus Larry Holmes—an undefeated champion with 20 in the middle of the fourth round. Mike throws a powerful combination to the head, knocking down Larry.

He gets up to the count of 10 and continues the fight. Mike Tyson lashes out at him with the traditional fury. Larry Holmes is unable to contend with this and falls again.

Holmes rises at the count of four and again intends to continue the fight. Mike Tyson pushes Holmes back to the ropes and starts the beating. [Applause] Again, and that's going to be it!

It's over; that's all! Mike Tyson from the. .

. an antique. .

. what he did was he. .

. down! Mike Tyson versus Tony Tubbs doing his sixth.

Heavyweight championship fight. In the second round, Mike once again reaches a comfortable distance for an attack and applies his famous combination: a right hook to the body and a right uppercut to the head. Tony Tubbs almost falls down after the referee breaks the clinch.

Tony was still not completely recovered and very hesitantly walked along the ropes. Mike Tyson did not miss this chance; after waiting for the opponent to come within striking distance, he throws a powerful left hook exactly to the temple. The fight is over with stunning swiftness, and the fans are enjoying Mike Tyson versus Michael Spinks.

This fight attracted huge public interest and was named once and for all by the promoters. The winner left the ring as the absolute and unconditional champion. Such an event had not happened since 1971 when two undefeated champions, Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali, had met in the ring.

And he's again in serious trouble: a right hand right on the chin! [Applause] Now we know why! Butch Lewis wasn't Mike Tyson versus Frank Bruno.

Shake hands, good luck! In the sixth round, after a pause, Mike throws two blows to the head: one on the right and one on the left. Then, a second later, he punches his famous combination of a right hook to the body and a right uppercut to the head.

Frank Bruno is absolutely lost and practically does not react to the blows. Another right uppercut and then a left hook, and the referee decides to stop the fight—it's all over! Michael Tyson wins by a fifth-round TKO.

Mike Tyson versus Carl Williams: this fight only lasted 93 seconds and it also became Tyson's second-fastest title fight. In the middle of the first round, Williams tries to hit Tyson with a left jab. Tyson parries and hits Williams with a left hook, which threw Williams back to the ropes.

Although Williams was able to get to his feet and seemed ready to continue the fight, it was stopped by the referee. "Couldn't me! Let's go!

My—couldn't me—don't give me now! " Unofficially, I've got this fight being one second longer than Mike Tyson versus Henry Tillman. The over/under is 2 and a half.

Just 25 seconds before the end of the first round, Tyson drove Tillman into a corner. Tillman tried to fight back, but Tyson responded with a strong right hook, and Tillman fell onto the canvas—a clear knockout! That'll be enough surprise!

Mike Tyson versus Alex Stewart: protect yourself at all times! "G. L.

Come on! Come on! " The question, as in all, as soon as the fight started, Tyson went on the attack and made an excellent combination, after which Stewart fell to the canvas.

"All right, man, okay! W—that was a flush right hand! " Five—taking a good look.

Cino, he's going to let him go! The three knockdown rule is in effect. Stewart goes down again.

It's [Music] over! And after another clinch, Tyson misses with a long right swing but immediately adds a short and precise left hook to the head. The opponent falls under the ropes.

Five! Six! Forgetting that the three knockdown rule is in effect, this fight is over.

Well, Stewart said that Tyson was a mountain he had to climb; he just got knocked off that mountain. He just didn't have the style, Jim, unlike Douglas. [Music] Mike Tyson versus Donovan R.

[Music] The fight was tough; both men tried to throw punches throughout the fight. "For he threw his bomb! " [Applause] Right—Minister them!

Doesn't seem to care; a hard body punch by Tyson—down goes R! He says he slipped; just doesn't quite get this. Here's a look by run—a look by placing a rear cut and then the right hand!

Oh, nice! Here comes R out of nowhere! A combination by R, up by R, a right by Ty—comes back and inflicted some hard punishment again.

A left uppercut by Razor R that stunned Tyson! Now Tyson says, "Hit me again! " And he did—with the right!

In the seventh round, the fight was coming to an end. Tyson was able to hit Ruck with a combination of six blows. Although Ruck remained on his feet and looked healthy enough to continue the fight, the referee stopped the match, awarding Tyson a TKO victory.

Looking at here, these were your series of punches. "Got him in trouble trying to him right! He pretty—" Mike Tyson versus Peter McNeeley.

Going through the instructions: "Protect yourself at all times. I expect a tough, clean fight. Any questions from MC's corner?

Any questions from Mr Tyson's corner? Let's get along! " At the beginning of the first round, Tyson sent his opponent to the canvas with a right hook to the head.

McNeeley jumped up and suddenly ran around the ring. The referee grabbed his arm and began to count the knockdown. The fight continued.

Seconds! They fight on the [Applause] canvas. In the middle of the round, Tyson made a successful attack and sent McNeeley to the canvas with a right uppercut.

"MC's hurt this time, Steve! He's very hurt! He can barely stand up!

He's got about 30 seconds left! They want Tyson to go to the neutral corner—what's going on? This—still going on—correct?

That was not correct! That was not correct! Quit!

That's it! He quit! Has quit!

" Mike Tyson versus Buster Matys, Jr. Protect yourself at all times. Touch gloves!

Just 40 seconds before the end of the third round, Tyson was able to inflict successive right uppercuts that threw Matys to the canvas. Matys couldn't rise by the count of 10; it was a knockout—a devastating right uppercut—two of them by Mike Tyson, and he is knocked down! Buster "Pis" [Applause] Jr.

Mike Tyson versus Frank Bruno—less than a minute after. . .

The start of the third round, Tyson dodged Bruno's jab and made a combination of 13 blows, as a result of which the referee stopped the fight. "Pour it on! Down goes Bruno!

The ropes, and it is all over. It is all over here at round three. Mike Tyson is Champion again, and that is it!

Mike Tyson is back! The Tyson era has begun. I told you Frank Bruno had no chance because those absolutes.

My God! Mike Tyson versus Bruce Seldon. In the middle of the first round, Seldon was knocked down with a left hook thrown by Tyson, which was immediately followed by a right cross that further hurt Seldon.

Seldon got up at the count of eight and resumed the fight, but was almost immediately knocked out by another left hook. Nice long rest there, but here comes Tyson with a left hook, and Seldon is down on his stomach. Steve, there are two unalterable truths in boxing: if you have a great puncher, you don't have a great chin.

You can't get one; you can't buy one or learn one. Mike Tyson versus Francois Baa. Bobbing and weaving, something Tyson.

Baa was a pretty powerful boxer. After four rounds, many spectators were surprised; Baa fought Tyson on an equal footing, and some believed that he even had an advantage. However, at the end of the fifth round, Tyson sent his opponent to the canvas with a right cross to the chin.

That's all it! Baa got up to the count of 10 but immediately fell onto the ropes. The referee announced a knockout, neutralizing everything that was happening to him.

That's what happens when you've got a great puncher. That's all it takes! Mike Tyson versus Julius “The Chef” Francis.

That's a lot more than most people thought. Left body hurt, Steve! He could be in trouble right here!

He’s stunned! Down he goes! Vintage!

Would you miss? Looking to end it here at the end of the round. Again, he staggers Francis!

Tough body shot! Francis down! Right hand!

He gets up at eight, 16 seconds into round two! He's been down three times! How much more punishment?

The fight lasted two rounds, in which Francis managed to be knocked down five times. It's all over! Round two again that right uppercut inside, man!

Like that with a left hook! [Applause] Mike Tyson versus Lou Sesi. This fight ended in a huge scandal.

19 seconds into the fight, Tyson knocked Sesi down with a brilliant left hook. When Sesi got up, intending to continue the fight, Tyson rushed to finish him off. A barrage by Tyson!

The referee, John Co, steps between, and he continues! Co tried to stop it! Tyson's hands as if to say, "Fight!

" Yes, it's over! It's over! He stopped it!

Steve, you know what? He stopped it, but he didn't do it definitively! Mike Tyson versus Brian Nealon.

Mike Tyson looking for a quick combination of the head, and down goes Nealon! He got hit with a clean uppercut, a hook, a right hand, and another hook! By the end of the sixth round, Nealon's left eye was completely closed.

When the seventh round started, Brian refused to continue the fight, and the referee awarded Tyson the victory with a TKO. Mike Tyson versus Clifford Etienne. At the beginning of the first round, Tyson missed with his left hook but immediately threw out a right hook and, as a result, Etienne was on the canvas.

The referee stops the fight! Opening minute of the fight! Give me first your reaction to the fight.

"I was confident. I trained really hard with my trainer, Kevin Rooney, who I owe a great deal to, and I came out, and I was confident. I came out; I knew that fight.

I felt deep in my heart I was going to stop him in the first round. " Did you know from watching tapes of him that you could hit him with the uppercut? "No, that's my favorite punch.

And I watched the timing. I knew from my trainer telling me, as he throws his punches, he bends down, and I knew that would be perfect for my uppercut. I planned on working the body more, but I saw the opportunity, and it looked too good to pass up.

" In your mind, if your managers Jim Jacobs and Bill Kon and your trainer Kevin Rooney came to you and said, "Mike, we think you're ready for a title shot tomorrow," would you agree with them at this point? "Most definitely! Anytime!

If my manager and my trainer feel that I'm confident and they're willing to put me in a title fight, I'm sure I could beat the champion! I'm sure I could beat him! " Also, of the three champions, who would you like to fight and why?

"I'd fight anybody my trainer put me in with because I'm confident I could beat any fighter in the world. " What do you think of the three champions? "They're all good fighters because you have to be a good fighter.

You can't take nothing away from them to become the champion! But I'm confident! I'm ready!

I'm ready when my trainer told me! " This is the world of boxing. Thank you for watching!
