Mike Tyson vs the ARROGANT FAT! This fight is sc@ry to watch…! Don’t watch if you’re sensitive…
Boxers like Mike Tyson have served as a figurehead for what every newcomer should aspire to: a career defined by the power of their fists, not the ability to move their tongue when delivering remarks they can’t hold in the ring.
Brian Nielsen’s career remained nearly flawless until it was his turn to step into the ring against an Iron Mike who, going into his forties, still had a lot to offer in the boxing world.
In today’s video, we bring you the downfall of one of Denmark’s greatest boxing figures, against the American legend whom very few managed to beat.
Brian Nielsen won the bronze medal at the nineteen ninety-two Olympics in Barcelona, and then began his professional career in September of that same year at the age of twenty-seven. Advancing in his professional career, Brian managed to beat greats such as Ross Puritty, James Smith, Tony Tubbs, Tim Witherspoon, and even the legendary Larry Holmes, where it is perhaps important to note that he was already forty-seven years old at the time of the fight.
Nielsen managed to equal Rocky Marciano’s record of forty-nine undefeated victories. But, he was not satisfied, he intended to surpass the record of this great champion. Plans that were cut short when Dicky Ryan defeated him in June nineteen ninety-nine, during the tenth round.
Mike Tyson vs. the FAT FUCK! This fight is scary to watch….
Tyson’s height was seen as his weakness even before his transition to professional boxing.
When this enormous and intimidating opponent attempted to mock his measurements, Tyson responded like a true gentleman, assuring that it wouldn’t be an issue once they stepped into the ring.
Welcome, in today’s video I’ll take you with me through the chapter of boxing’s golden history where Mike Tyson used what many considered a “disadvantage” to destroy a true giant in the ring.
I hope you’re comfortable because this new adventure begins right here.
While today the ideal heavyweight fighter’s figure has evolved to position itself under the standard of Tyson Fury, for example.
In the times of Iron Mike, the seed had already been planted that a boxer’s height should be a remarkable aspect if they were expected to be intimidating in the ring.
After being rejected by the Olympic team for his measurements, Tyson decided to turn what many pointed out as “his weakness” into his strongest weapon to start fighting against opponents taller than himself, even before becoming the youngest champion in history.
You probably remember how Tyson dominated Sammy Scaff, David Jaco, or the imposing Cuban José Ribalta.
