Therapist reacts to Mike Tyson’s insane childhood

Daniel Chu, licensed therapist, reacts to Mike Tyson and his childhood. What we experience in childhood is undoubtedly critical to who we become as an adult. Will we be able to explain this man’s wild life based on what he experienced in his childhood? Of course we will! Enjoy!

Amazing and insightful analysis, great depth demonstrated in your take on mike's childhood. You have a talent at understanding conflicting ideas within a persons psyche, deconstructing them and compartmentalizing them so we can have a better view of what caused them in the first place and explain why they conflict with one another.

[@UncleMatrix]

@@danielchu I guess I miss the American gene. My Europeen gene has a Q: How the F is it good and badass that he enjoys hurting bad people? In core, he's the same as the bad people, but fighting on the "right" side. You could argue he's worse than many of them, since whoever is in battle is most probably forced, and don't get any joy out of it. They do it for their cause, not out of joy. @redwood1133 I love that you overcame bullying, but getting joy out of hurting people is bad. If it's the case, you've become what you once fought. A typical nerd, who's been bullied his whole life - trains, get dangerous and use it to hurt people. Then says he's fixed. I pray for you!

[@redwood1133]

I love hurting bad ppl. I get theres some deep issue there but would rather hurt and stop bad ppl?

[@danielchu]

@redwood1133 there is a defense mechanism called sublimation where you take out your negative feelings in a socially appropriate way. If someone has anger and aggression they play football instead of physically abusing their spouse. It is a good thing to do but as you say they best thing would to n angry at all. You recognize that there is probably an issue but you are on your path and I am hopeful that in time you will be free of it.

[@metalbrainmextrememetalent6810]

You have to listen to Mike more clearly. He says things he doesn’t truly believe. He said he wasn’t angry at his father, but right before that, he talks about how he wanted to be mean to his father. That’s not words of a person who doesn’t have resentments.

[@danielchu]

Yeah I agree. My guess is that the anger is in there and he has not dealt with it but on top of that and what we see is the eager boy looking for love. Great insight. Thanks for watching!

I would’ve not been scared to be Mike’s friend in those childhood years. I’ve been friends with a lot of messed up people, who had the same issues he did, though, arguably, they were more malicious. I would’ve just chilled with him at my place, working out and eating some good food on the house, given that he’s a very well articulated and intelligent, I’d have some enlightening conversations with him. There’s a difference between someone who’s evil and someone who needed a friend. Mike is the latter.

What happened with the Holyfield ear bite is Mike was on antidepressants and in Las Vegas you're not allowed to be on any type of medication to compete. Soo he came off them for the fight against Holyfield (regardless fighting 20 rounds in the 5 years leading up to the fight).

[@wulf67]

Holyfield head-butted Mike TWICE in that fight and no one even acknowledged it! I wish Mike had bitten off both of Evander's punk ears. If Mike had known it was a dirty street fight he would have handled his business in the first round.

[@TonyDMX]

@wulf67 Holyfield was headbutting him throughout the 1st fight and they changed ref for the rematch and Tyson said he felt the same blank feeling as he was being headbutted again. Holyfield is a master at headbutting and against Rahman we saw its effect. Unrelated to this ironically Holyfield also bit an opponent in a fight.

[@curly874]

When I was young and wrestled heavyweight in university, I used to bar fight and destroy 3 to 5 people in twenty seconds. I had to quit because I was afraid that I would kill someone. I had about 15 to 20 pounds more muscle than Mike and a completely different skill set. I had the same terrible rage in the back of my mind waiting to be let out to play. From wrestling heavyweight in college, I believe I was in as good if not better physical shape than him. We ran hard in the morning finishing ten miles in under an hour occasionally, then lifted for about 1.5 hours and then in the afternoon had wrestling practice. There is nothing more fierce than college wrestling in the early seventies. I had my nose broken seven times hyper-extended joints so many times, broke knuckles, got cut from butting heads, etc. In some big open wrestling tournaments, I had five or six matches in a day. A match is three rounds of three minutes for a total of nine minutes of pushing, pulling, shooting takedowns, etc. After the sixth match in a day, you were slugging down orange juice, gulping unprocessed honey, anything to get a sugar high to compete at such an elite level. At 5 % bodyfat, I used to have a 54 inch chest, 39 inch waist and a thigh circumference of 32 inches. They did a water tank test on me and I tested out at 239 pounds with just under 5.0 % bodyfat. I used to bench press 450 pounds and run ten sub-six minute miles in a row. I think that it would be a matter of avoiding the first couple of Mike's punches and then get your hands on him and take him down. At that point hyper-extend a joint, and he would tap out. He can't beat me with rage, muscle, quickness or fitness. Would be a fun experiment. - The retired accountant

I get why you're assuming a lot of this stuff given the way Mike is saying it, not really going into too much detail. You should watch the show "Mike" on Hulu. Does a way better job explaining everything. Like the fact that his mom beating him was her way of trying to save him and show him what he's doing was wrong because that's all she knew how to do given Mike was in and out of jail 30ish times by the time he was 13.

Sounds like it would give me a lot more context. I don't want to demonize his mom. I do believe that she was doing the best she could. There is undoubtedly a generational pattern of abuse and neglect. Thanks for the recommendation and for watching Tristan!

it's called a reaction vid, I'd rather see ur face in real time reacting to it rather than just straight up playing the video, it kinda defeats the purpose, might as well put a link in the description to the vid and just do an analysis only vid here if u going that far. also better for copyright im sure to jsut have it in a corner of the screen

[@wilson6363]

Why is the audience laughing about him robbing people?

[@danielchu]

I found that kind of messed up. I get it considering the environment but I really felt for Mike in that moment because we are talking about trauma. You can tell he wasn't proud of that. Thank you for watching!

[@Brandon-sw5ob]

I've always loved Mike. I can't remember whether it was a reporter or somebody from another Fighters team but it was a prepaid interview situation and somebody said something bad to cuss in Mike pretty much said what he just said that say anything stupid to cuss again and I'm going to kill you

[@danielchu]

Damn that is so scary but sweet at the same time. I've always loved Mike as well. And I've never seen him as a monster. Thanks for watching and commenting Brandon!

[@huntybangz]

Michael Jordan might be the Greatest in Basketball or in Sports in general of all time… but Mike’s character or personality is better than Jordan no doubt… Jordan as a popular person became somewhat of a di*khead… while Mike is brutally honest… like a Charles Barkley with knockout punching💁🏻‍♀️💯so for me personally i admire Mike Tyson more than i admire Jordan

[@danielchu]

Man I agree. Jordan is the greatest but I find a lot of fault with the way he went about things. The fact that he really doesn't have any friends in the league tells you a lot. We are kn the same page. I need tondo a Jordan analysis soon. Thanks so much or watching!

[@Tonymontanayayo]

You play basketball but I’ve never heard anyone play boxing before. Jordan does carry himself like an a**hole, Tyson is sincere and candid. Tyson is admitting that he was scared while he was in a fight…. Mike Tyson of all people admits that he felt large amounts of fear before a fight.

[@danielchu]

@pedroramos505 Mike is so honest. Imagine being such a bad dude but he admits to being scared. How can you not love Mike. Thanks for watching Pedror!

[@ingaleerus4577]

Therapist? 😆 sure thing, kid.

[@danielchu]

Lol!!! Who you calling kid!! Don't hate just because I have a baby face. 😘

[@robertdakic6503]

Bro I had a punch on and I couldn’t go to work for three days. And I won

[@anewhopedawn6676]

maybe do a video on diego maradona?

[@danielchu]

The Hand of God!!! I actually don't know anything about his life. Thanks for the recommendation. And thank you for watching!

[@AYates4321]

Good video

[@danielchu]

Thank you Jeff!
