A lot of you may have already seen this before, so apologies to those that have!
The video reinforces the fact that Mike Tyson was such a telented fighter at a very tender age. I remember years ago, back in his hey-day, Mike would often comment how he does not get a lot of credit for his defensive and boxing skills - just all for his power, & how people thought of him as just a slugger etc.
I noticed in the video clip how Tyson's hand-speed would just completely over-whelm and dominate fighters. It's not more evident than in the clip showing Tyson-Beerbick. Trevor had never been hit tht often by his previous opponents.
Seeing the video shows how eroded Mike's skills had become when he came out of jail. No one can be away from their job, profession, whatever it may be for such a long period of time & still be as good or effective etc.
One thing's for certain: Tyson was a bit special. Boy, how boxing could with a fighter like a young Tyson now, particularly the HW division!
