Mike Tyson at 16 years old vs Winston Bentt amateur final. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BigBusiness]

Never seen this until now. 16 years old dropping BOMBS. Jam packed arena with everyone ooooing and ahhhing at the display being put on.

16 years old! Look at that counter @ 5:01

[Hman]

Tyson was unbeatable pre-Robin Givens

[Thrilla]

Natural power and speed.....he had it before he got hair on his nuts...

[Kermit]

Tyson was unbeatable pre-Robin Givens

Yep. She ruined him.

[Foxx]

Good stuff.

[KVB]

Just no fair.

[ikid2groove415]

Guy was unreal - Most of his early fights didn’t last long - - Don king fck him up - sad -

[Auto Donk]

have to say I was impressed with his opponent as well.....

guess he didn't know he was supposed to be afraid of Mike f'n Tyson! He put up more of a fight then tyson's first five-six heavy weight opponents combined......

Me too. I tried to find some info on winston and couldn't find a single thing. Its like he never existed. There is plenty of info on his brother who was also a boxer that beat tommy morrison, but winston fell off the face of the earth.

Guess he got discouraged after this fight and gave up the sport... He showed a lot of potential. What a shame

[KVB]

Me three.

As usual when you watch vintage Iron Mike, you are expecting the knockout blow.

Dude took some shots for sure. Very impressive even if Mike was 16. What, he had the title at 18 or 19 right?

[Cuse0323]

Opponent was impressive. Lasting that long with some serious blows being landed. Even the KO didn’t faze him too much.

[The Kraken]

The opponent was impressive He had on headgear, of course he took it. Not sure if you've sparred much in the ring but if not, the headgear in addition to the heavier gloves they use at that level make a knockdown/KO nearly impossible.

That's like saying the Trailblazers are impressive because they lost close games, even though they got swept

Those were 10-7, 10-8 rounds. Nothing impressive about that guy except that might be the first good video of Iron Mike we have.

[Cuse0323]

Let’s throw some headgear on you and see what happens.

I agree here. The hits were hard and when I mentioned the part about being 16, I was considering the gear.

But I'm torn as well because Tyson was hitting fast and hard at a very young age sometimes it's hard to have a perspective.

Champ at like 19, he was always a beast.

i'm concerned, u might be the first poster to hit 1,000,000 post

[The Kraken]

He was a monster, I loved watching him fight. He was honestly a great boxer as well, he threw hard, had good footwork and great head movement. Watch when he throws, he's always moving his head.

One of my favs of all time and will go down as one of the greatest ever

[KVB]

At your rate you will beat me there easily.

You post at more than twice the rate per day or month than I do....

That's a crazy pace.

Of course, if you let up just a little bit, you never know...

[KVB]

[cincinnatikid513]

i have a feeling u were a slow starter and have picked up the pace

[jjgold]

like many athletes off the field stuff ruined him
glad he made a life for himself though
very popular around the world

[JIBBBY]

He use to knock out old ladies in elevators and steal their purses.. That 16 year old Mike Tyson should have been in Jail.. I've read about his stories, that Mike Tyson kid was ruthless..

[Sam Odom]

at 10:27 the dazed brotha walked straight into it

[Auto Donk]

he was innocent in that damn rape trial.....

biggest railroad job ever.... if he'd have hired me, I would have had that p o s indiana prosecutor clipped for him.....

desirae washington -- at least I think that was her name -- was no rape victim

[ikid2groove415]

Boxing dieing sport

[jjgold]

Tyson still so pulverizing

[Auto Donk]

[Sanity Check]

If Mike Tyson's rape trial happened in 2018.

It wouldn't have mattered if he was innocent or guilty.

His verdict would be community service with no prison time.

Like this:


Figures show that in 2011, 340 people convicted of grievous bodily harm and eight rapists were handed community sentences - punishments which critics say amount to little more than a slap on the wrist.Campaigners said the figures were “horrendous” and an insult to victims.The statistics, disclosed by Jeremy Wright, the prisons and rehabilitation minister, will intensify concern about how the courts are failing to impose deterrent sentences on violent criminals.The majority of the eight adult rapists handed non-custodial sentences were given community orders, which can require them to wear an electronic tag, carry out unpaid work and attend rehabilitation courses.A further 30 juvenile rapists were given non-custodial sentences in 2011, bringing the total to 38.

I think its worse now even if its not being reported on.

[clockwise1965]

Very entertaining fighter... Givens.. Jail.. Death of Gustamato.. and his association with Don King... ruined him!

You are probably right.

Not long ago, 6 men gang raped a 13 year old girl and 4 of them got probation.

Robin gibbons was a coke whore. Look at a lot of the video of her back then with Tyson, you can tell she is almost always on Coke.
