yeah it's heartbreaking the way his career developed specially when you think how it could've gone. he was supposed to be the greatest ever like his trainer cus said.
He's the first guy I've seen to go in fighting with Tyson from the start and even imitates Tyson's style . . . Gotta hand it to him, it's an achievement to stand in the ring with Tyson
I don't admire him. I think he's a moron and can neither admire nor respect him. It's like finding admiration for the guy who blew his face off with a shotgun.
He have knock out power he was going for a kill. His punches can knock out tyson 21 knock out in first round I say he's the hard hitting orright, show some respect here m8.
I remember watching this as a kid. The vibes we got from watching Mike Tyson come into the ring... it was like seeing an UFO land and an alien coming out.
Can you imagine Tyson with the same pugilistic determination, training and discipline that he had at the beginning of his career throughout his boxing reign, he needs to pass on the D'Amato legacy and start training other fighters.
He does help train some guys in California. Bear in mind: The "peek-a-boo" tactic only works for swarmers, it's not for most boxers. Believe it or not: He's often criticised for being too nice on training boxers and not being strict enough.
I remember watching this live, friends around my neighborhood all got together and chipped in to order the PPV. Hell I was barely a teenager so it was awesome to see Tyson during this time as obviously the few years prior to this he was in jail and before that I only remember some things as a kid. Great memories from this fight, ALL of us wanted Tyson to destroy this guy... and he did.
Just to let you boys know, McNeeley had a high KO percentage, and he had a strong chin. Tyson made his chin look weak. McNeeley has no fear, gotta give it to him.
I remember watching this as a kid me n my family were like thank god for this illegal cable box lol lol paying 49.95 for this would have anybody furious
If your family thought this was going past more than 2 rounds ,well ..........?lol Only if McNeely let up,he gave Tyson no choice but to knock him out,Tyson is at his best with aggressive fighters.
27:10 IMO one of the most memorable Tyson moments, when you saw this, you just knew Tyson would slaughter this guy. McNeeley's chuckling and Tyson's eyes are LOCKED on him. Tyson's stare would make even the toughest man shit bricks!
McNeeley the looser is happier than Tyson the winner PWAHAHHHAAHAH Look folks, Tyson is so legendary that you are very happy to loose and not to loose your life! DO NOT MESS WITH TYSON!
God damn it's a shame Mike lost those years from age 25-28..he would have been such a force in the division, he would have been even better than he was in the 80s! He was robbed of his prime years just like Ali.
Mike had the skill to not get hit, and the precision, accuracy and power to deliver some serious knockout potential straight onto an unexpecting chin lol
I remember that fight. I was 16 when this happened...we all thought Tyson was gonna knock him out b4 Round 3...behold it took less then 2 min! Hahaha we were going nuts!
Whoever says that McNeeley was a complete bum.... He did better against Mike than Spinks did..... (although Mike was way better back then.) Just saying...
Joseph Bellantuono Being buff hasn't got a single thing to do with the skill and the speed.... Mike was WAY better back in the late 80's skill-and tacticswise. He was awsome here too but he was just something else back in the day.
Did better? Spinks was beaten before he even got in the ring and so was Mcneeley. Mcneeleys plan was to throw everything at Mike, including headbutts, for as long as he could until Mike inevitably knocked him out. That was what happened essentially. Mcneeleys corner was gonna stop it as SOON as he got hurt, which was just alot quicker than everyone thought. Was a mismatch from the beginning but they weren't going to put Mike in the ring with a class opponent in his first fight in almost 4 years. If Mcneeleys corner didnt stop it, Mike would have a few seconds later.
It is amazing to see all these people around Tyson that you never even saw when Tyson was still training with Kevin Rooney, Teddy Atlas and some of the guys from Cus' gym. You could count on one hand the amount people Tyson had in his corner when he was with Kevin Rooney. It was just 2 or 3 people. In this video you see like 50 dudes around him and they are all expecting a paycheck.
It's definetly a camcorder (www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3589539/Does-footage-1995-Mike-Tyson-fight-time-traveller-using-smartphone-record-bout.html). Just looking at the footage, you can see a red flashing light on the camera...what smart phone has that?
@@theinformationbomber7102 go back now on YT, look at it and repeat yourself in the mirror. Really, imo the 89, black medium short curly haired Tyson, pre side cut, is the best form he ever was in... the extra pounds of muscle which made him look more lean made him those nanoseconds slower. Nah, curly Mike was an ubermensch specimen.
Can't help but admire how McNeeley stands up for his manager/trainer during the press interview at the end. When the questions get critical of the decision to pull the fight, McNeeley totally supports Vinnie: "I love this guy and he's worried about me ... can't cry now, it's over ... why don't you ask me something..."
Read a book the other day about gambling in sport, it claimed McNeeley coach had placed a masive bet with bookmakers that McNeeley would be stoped inside 90 seconds, his coach walked in the ring at 89seconds
haha this is the first guy i have seen who ran into Mike Tyson and played Tysons own explosive style against Tyson ! :D People can sit and say his an idiot all day, but that takes some serious balls to run into Tyson like that, cut him some slack and give him some cred peepz
McNeely's people pulled him out after the two knockdowns because they knew he had shot his bolt and was on a hiding to nothing. The next few punches from Mike could have seriously injured him.
its fucked up celeb worship bordering Idiocracy and why is the national anthem always sung like they think they're christina aguilera. why do they always rape it like that?
McNeely was a goober. He had beaten no ranked heavyweights, he had serious lack of skills, and serious lack of brains. Nobody in their right minds thought McNeeley had any chance at all.
Amazing mike!! 4 years in prison and you return like you go!! You make Hope to anybody! Other in your situation could loss his power, but you return with more head and power!! Always Iron Mike!! And now, we are ready for your return at 53!! Nice!!!!
When they got back to his locker room, McNeeley said "Oh man, thank you guys for stopping that. Does anyone know how to get urine stains out of satin?"
Peter McNeeley, one of the worst fighters of all time to be involved in a high profile fight... but give the man credit, he went in there with no fear.
27:47 tem um cara de boas, filmando a luta com o seu belo Galaxy S9. Lembrando que, essa luta foi em 1995. Vamos combinar, o nosso querido viajante do tempo, tem bom gosto kkkk
A bit strange that the corner jumped in and he was on his feet, but then a read an article and here this is a quote from it: "The night before Tyson-McNeeley, someone in Las Vegas placed a million-dollar bet on the fight not going a full 90 seconds." It lasted 89seconds. Source www.reddit.com/r/Boxing/comments/236q40/why_i_fixed_fights/
Mc Neely came in fighting like if it was the first time on the ring, extremely careless, like a maniac, prior the fight he was anoucing what he was going to do to Tyson, all I saw was his corner saving him from a worse end.
Peter's corner was very smart 👌. This was the time Mike could have taken a life in the ring. Because Peter wouldn't have stopped until he's no more. Thank God his Dad was ringside.
McNeely, Did the only thing he could do ...he knew he couldn't box with Tyson , The only thing to do was rush him , throw as many haymakers as he could and hope he got in a lucky shot . He knew he was totally outclassed so what ells could he have done ? At least he tried and showed more courage than BRUCE SELDON ...Who did have skills , there for Seldon had no excuse , McNeely had more balls than Seldon who was a champion and actually had a chance had it not been for his extreme act of cowardice ..
