This is my favorite Tyson fight, past his prime, pretty much loses every round, announcers saying he looks sloppy, then WHAM 3 seconds later he lands a punch powerful enough to give a rhinoceros severe brain damage. It’s my favorite cause it’s always served as a reminder not to get cocky, 1 punch can end it all.

As Mike stated, they all have a plan until they get hit. This is also my favorite Tyson fight for the reasons you stated. He had 18 months off too. Love how he came over to see if Botha was ok.

[@NecocYaotl]

@@MrJoe-yw5exTyson used to do that for every fighter he hit hard. He used to be a fucking lamb, really polite and nice. I don't know if it was prison that changed him or if the change happened before, but contrary to what is sometimes reported he wasn't a mean or bad kid- I mean he was und d'amatos supervision ever since he was like 13. Only way later did he turn into a brute. It's nice to see how much he's changed and grown since then though.

[@MrJoe-yw5ex]

@@NecocYaotl Yes, I watched a couple interviews-the rape charge and conviction, eventual fallout with Don King and many other personal issues took a toll on Mike. He was quite different under D'amato in spite of his upbringing. It is good to see Mike has come to terms with things. We all have our demons to deal with even if they are something the next guy would think nothing of. Mike's life was a roller coaster or maybe even something of a train wreck-I don't know. Money, fame and a prison term. Mean or pleasant, he made his mark on boxing-something he really does not even care to discuss much today.

[@jeffreyruttibaker1081]

Not one of the very best of the era like Klitschko or Lewis, but a contender who got robbed against Shannon Briggs and robbed here because the ref apparently didn't realise what Tyson was doing with that arm wrenching, at least not soon enough. Tyson should have been disqualified for that, it was deliberate, very dangerous and he did it repeatedly.

What people don't understand is that Tyson wasn't really a bully. He was just fierce in the ring. He actually respected the guys who gave him a good fight and came right at him.

The style of Botha was very risky and dangerous, even from the starting rounds it was visible that he was playing with fire. The very quick and powerful punches of Tyson were not avoided by blocking with arms or dodging the head, they were avoided by simply moving his whole body, which was obviously impossible to do it perfectly for many rounds.

a lightning moment from botha. Once in a life time. *TYSON IS POWERHOUSE OF THUNDER.*

[@lancerooplall5338]

Just met with the white wildebeest today, must say, what a gentleman and a family man he is. He still is involved with the sport and looking in Great shape. His wife an absolute pleasant lady, they compliment each other.... Was a pleasures meeting you Francois.....💪👌👍

[@productofmyenvironment2529]

The editor of this channel mirrored the video mike actually dropped him with a right...lol

[@davidmayberry3190]

Yeah, I figured that out because at first I kept thinking why is Tyson fighting southpaw. Tyson actually is a southpaw, he (like many other great fighters) was trained to fight orthodox, most boxers with killer left hooks are lefties.

[@dylanthetyrantking1001]

I thought it was lookin weird

[@davolean729]

How on Earth did I not know about this fight wow that was one of the best Tyson fights I've seen only because it actually lasted great fight

[@MovieBuffReal]

Lot's of respect for Botha for his fight and staying calm and collected during it but Tyson is my all-time favorite.

[@javarcolon1821]

Good night both,a you and soul!

[@СергйЛазо]

Зачёт 👍👍👍 я помню этот бой смотрел. Там ещё вроде Тайсон говорил сейчас я его сделаю.

[@ReshodJukes-xw6vk]

Tyson Change The Ringside Announcers Minds 😂😂😂😂

[@darrylwilliams4301]

Botha gave Tyson the fight of his life.

[@leomoore7015]

Right 😂😂😂 you don’t believe that 😂😂😂😂

[@justinmix143]

Well one thing’s for sure-Francois Botha is no Andrew Gollota. He actually has♥️. Hung in there so strong like nobody did back then w/ Tyson. Gotta respect the effort. Up against a virtually unbeatable fighter, & he will not give up or in or back down a inch

[@Treacletownproductionsuk]

Didn’t realise how good Francois Botha was ... amazing fighter - going toe to toe with Tyson like that. Not many fighters did that.

[@struspedzisraczka7853]

ahahahahaha. you didn't has seen real Tyson

[@Treacletownproductionsuk]

struś pędzisraczka Tyson was an animal, No mistaking that. No one wanted to go at him like Botha did other than Holyfield.

[@struspedzisraczka7853]

@@Treacletownproductionsuk but admit he had to weaken and lose shape for them to have a chance. Lennox Lewis has waited over 10 years. this is how I count from the beginning of the 90's. so don kind fed him drugs, drank alcohol and made him frustrate / psycho-emotional breakdown, and don king robbed Mike and later even controlled him. they even put him in jail behind bars, plotting an intrigue.

[@davidpark2509]

This was tyson way past his prime

[@Liftingtillidie]

Lmao i always love the way he walks off so casually after he knocks someone out

[@DarnellHendeason-dk3uw]

5 years earlier Tyson would have knocked this guy out in the first round.

[@nickslade3978]

He was in prison 5 years earlier

[@Purinelz]

hell yeah brother thanks for sharing

[@FariesWearBoots]

[@bige8496]

Fucking Deadly Punch👍🇺🇸

[@laurentdupont-gagnon7889]

francois botha was so influenced by DMX music entrance that he started to bark in the fight
