It was worth watching once. I just wish the whole fight was as good as the last 3 rounds. Ol' dude didn't do too bad, 12 rounds with a 20 year old Tyson.... He deserves some kind of props.
I give so-called Bonecrusher Smith zero props! It was a championship fight and all he did was hold on to Tyson from the first round through the 12th round! he didn't want to feel one of them Mike Tyson blows to his Noggin! LOL!
If Ali had been fighting Tyson, that's exactly how he'd have fought, by holding him incessantly, and hoping to find a way to knock him out. While Smith fought a negative fight at the time the fight happened I saw it as showing Tyson was not invincible and how a more talented fighter than Bonecrusher could have defeated Tyson.
Thanks for the upload, was entertaining to watch. Was disappointed with the lack of fighting as smith kept holding tyson, but none the less was fun to watch ^_^
Referee worked hard in this one. Smith did well to go the distance with Prime Tyson, a guy clearly several levels above him. Hung on or it was an early knock out for Tyson. People criticising Smith. Anyone to face Tyson at this time is very brave.
Smith had the right strategy but was unable to execute (to put it mildly). Tyson respected his power though, that's a big reason why Smith was able to survive the distance.
Daniel stop talking sh*t son. Mike tried everything to make it an honest fight. This big girl Smith had no desire to throw any shots inside where all the damage is really done for a tall fighter against an explosive shorter one.
Bryan-Michael Dungee the way to beat Tyson is to out box him. You can’t win if you aren’t swinging. All these guys just wanted a pay check and to maybe keep their head attached, straight pansies. Imagine Tyson walking into every fight just grabbing every dude when they approached.
I can be used for my luck with the time of the best regards and thanks again for your own personal information as well as the best way to get it done today and I will send you all the best of my phone and beautiful loving the new one for my phone number of your website on top of the pages of the day and thanks again for your time of the day.
Two funny things about your comment. First, you say something disparaging about Mike Tysons ability, then follow it by saying "much respect to both of them". But also, you say that, not taking in consideration that Tyson made a career our of closing the distance on his opponents. So to say Tyson never could close the distance, is like saying Jordan never could score much, or Tiger never could drive off the tee very far... its either very sarcastic or very inaccurate lol
Yes Totally agreed - .... Only one in the world ...Only boxer bites off an ear off the opponent.... Only one in the world . Only one in boxing history.....The best biter.....boxer in the world....If he cannot knock out opponents....bite them
Jaron Talotta are you sure about wacht george foreman vs joe frazier or wacht other mike tyson fight that don’t have hugs like mike tyson vs Marvis frazier
@@PowersMonkey ...and lean into him if you're the heavier larger man. That's what all the boxers did later...tie him up, and then lean their body weight into his posture to kill off Tyson's speed.
See Tyson at 37.00 with his usual end of fight compassionate gesture towards his opponent making up with a hug and smile for Bonecrusher. Nice to see Tysons human side.
Mike nearly always rushed to see if his opponent was OK after fight stopped. When he'd layer a man out you could see the concern on Miles face until they said they were OK. Then you would see Miles face change to relief. That's a genuine human being not the animal they poked and prodded the poor guy to be. He's a very honest and sensitive human Mike . He's matured know. Mikes mint.
To apreciate mike. Youve gotta meet then in person. Ive seen quite a few heavyweights in person. Riddick bowe was massive looked like a briwn bear standing on his hind legs. I soitted lewis in vagas and he was abiut tye same size and height. Then I meet mike. He was nothing what you would expect from a heavy. Im about 5'10 barefooted and we were eye to eye. it makes out appreciate how magnifucant mike was. Short and small yet devasting
Mike would get involved in clinching to much, he often got to close to his opponents where he could be clinched rather than staying in the pocket at a decent distance.
Mc se ike is amazing, I always love watching Mike fight and how he would show off his speed, quickness and just how elusive he was. I remember back in the day how one fight he would seriously embarrassed one fighter.
I think Tyson wanted to box and play around with Smith. Even in round 12 they were making faces at each other. Tyson could have taken opportunities in the earlier rounds by working Smith's body. It could have been over a lot sooner. Tyson is my favorite boxer.
Bravo Bone Crusher! You did not let Iron Mike Tyson's make you an easy target at the peak of Tyson's career when everybody got used to Tyson's opponent to be on the canvass in a few rounds. Even the commentator in this video spoke one sidedly and looked totally disappointed and did not mention at all whenever Bone Crusher boxed Tyson so many times in varius rounds. How many other heavy weights went 12 rounds with Tyson without a knock down (other than Tyson's losses in his later career)?
Bravo Bone Holder Smith! One of the worst holding fights I've ever seen! It wasn't clenching it was holding! Not to mention this was a championship fight. Only thing you had to do is listen to the fans that were there booing him.
Kamran Jafri you see this makes my ppl ount perfectly clear who ? You ask ? ZERO! Why zero!? Because the ones he LL ist to later in his career we're the kisses w me he would have taken early in his career that his handlers did a spectacular job if avoiding on purpose! At least one person on this planet would need t dispute that s fact and he can add me as a fan now because he is now a1st humblehumsn being pwhich no one thought that the word humble would be used for that describe him 2nd thankful he got to eventually fight some of the true heavy weight champs and #1contenders of all time in the ring which never would have happened in his used because all it takes in your youth in your Prime is to lose to one of those and then you know you're lit left without a legacy and never heard of which would have happened to Mike Tyson had he fought any of the true contenders back then but he wasn't he was King of the heavyweight Brawlers guys didn't deserve to be in a freaking top range and the one person that can attest it is and I don't think he has any problems admitting this and that's why I have become a fan of his now and is latter part of his life and that is Mike Tyson himself and I think for that it does make him wear the greater legacy's in boxing you know he had a great run but you know the handlers did an excellent job of avoiding true heavy weights and giving him his legacy that was probably undeserving at the time but I think the way he handles it in his time now with the grades because he does realize you got lucky and that's all that really matters when it was considered Mike Tyson's
It was really great to see you all the time of the Game master of your own personal boxing Day of the weekend of the day of your own personal website on the pages of the morning and thanks again for your website on page one.
Tyson was right for provoking Smith at the end of round 1. Tyson realized that he had to get smith angry in order for smith to stop clinching so much...well
Tyson was one of my super heros growing up. He was nothing short of amazing in the 80's. I can't understand why he doesn't get credit for being an amazing boxer! He mastered bobbing and weaving and hardly ever got hit and he always used combinations when punching with blazing speed and accuracy.
James Smith i thought would of been a solid challenge for Tyson, a big guy with good reach that could hit hard and could take tremendous amounts of punishment. Similar to Donovan Ruddock who could match Tyson punch for punch, unfortunately that didn't happen, the match itself was one sided, other then throwing an occasional punch and locking up Tyson every 30 seconds, Smith did virtually nothing in this match in terms of offense. I'm sure many Tyson fans were expecting more from someone who goes by the name "bonecrusher" to offer a more competitive challenge. As said before Smith should of done what Donovan Ruddock did, and thats going straight at Tyson head on, because he had the power, strength and size to at least try this tactic, he should of punched hard and punched often to keep pressure on Tyson, that never happened. All Smith proved in this fight was how uninterested he was in giving what many fans were expecting, and that was an epic fight that pushed both fighters to their limits.
This is the prophecy about the second coming of Jesus Zechariah 13:7 “Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me!” declares the LORD Almighty. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones. The Shepherd here is Jesus. John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. This is the fulfillment of the prophecy. Matthew 26:31 Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: “’I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ This happened near 30 AD. Hosea 6:1-2 Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. In prophecies 1day is equal to 1000 years. Which means after two thousand years Jesus will return again. And on the third day which is the 3rd millennium, we will live in his sight. We all know we cannot see God's face and live on Earth. So it's the second coming of Jesus. Luke 21:11 ► There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. Matthew 24:6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. We are the witnesses of all these things. From the death of Jesus to 2030 there are 2000 years. Jesus is coming soon. Let's all repent and turn from our old ways and turn to the Lord. Praise the Lord. Peace and Love to you all Easter is pagan, the resurrection day of the Lord is correct and please stop taking the Lord's name in vain like saying omg or using it with a bad word or taking it in anyway that is in vain. Even the devil trembles in his name and we shouldn't use the powerful name like that. For the people who says Jesus is not God here's a verse. Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. God bless you all. Please spread this message to the ends of the world. 😊😊
