I've seen a review copy - definitely worth a watch. Will be running a competition on BBN to win a DVD when they land in my post box.

Is this an actual movie which is appearing in the cinema?

Or is it like the Chavez one?

Bunce said it is appearing in cinema's BUT is out on DVD on April 6th which is strange.

I'm looking forward to this. Just saw the clip on Buncey's show and thought Tyson was slurring his words a bit. Don't know if anyone ese thought the same? Perhaps it's the medication he takes? He did take plenty of punishment in his time - Douglas, Holyfield, Lewis, Ruddock.

yeah looks worth a watch.

tyson never gives a great deal away in interviews.

we'll see if he goes into a bit more depth about things.

One of the main reasons I want to view the new documentry. Apparently, plenty of interviews were conducted for the film, with best interviews of Mike being used for the 90 minute duration of the film!

I sense there's no holding back with this one in terms of subjects talked about, opinions aired, etc, etc!

I've heard guys like Steve Lott, once a very, very close friend of Mike's feel the documentry is a sham, just lies!

We shall see...

Yes it is, but it's going to do virtualy zero figures at box office, so they'll give it a small theatrical release as a launchpad for the DVD - publicity for the DVD really.

Great reviews, sounds a can't miss for boxing fans.

Surely they can't be anything different in it to the 100's of documentary's that has already been done on Tyson's life?

Depends how many you've seen mate. I've seen quite a few and there was still a couple of revealing things in this. Especially about his physical condition DURING the Berbick fight which I'd never heard before (won't spoil it for you).

And some uncomfortable (and probably unnecessary) insight into what Tyson likes in the bedroom. Yikes.

Is it better than the hugely dissapointing J.C. Chavez documentary movie?

In respect of Tyson's physcial condition for Berbick, I'm not sure whether to the claims. I mean, he was bidding to become the youngest HW champ in history, it was the biggest fight by far of his career to that point! If there were any major physical abnomalities, surely Tyson wouldn't have been allowed to box?

Tyson sure looked ready & primed to face Berbick!
