...and I was very impressed. It's pretty much a sit down with Mike as he chronicles his entire life from when he was a stick up kid in Brooklyn all the way to his last fight with McBride. It's a real emotional movie filled with laughs, great footage of Mike's past fights, and just sad stories that inevitably turn Mike's life upside down. You really get to see Mike for who he really is and it was done in such a way that the average person who looked at Tyson over the years as this animal (which at a point he was) might turn their cheek and have some compassion for him.
I definitely recommend it for any Boxing fan or anyone who wants to hear an amazing rise and fall story of one of Boxing's biggest and most notorious names.
Does it go into much deeper than beyond the glory? Is it better?
Watched it a couple of weeks ago and thought it was pretty good. Didnt go all the way up to the McBride fight but near enough.
first of thanks to RULE for the upload. I watched it last night and was very impressed with how it shown Mike in a different way. I felt really sorry for him when he mentioned cus, you could see it in him how much he really meant to him. just imagine if Cus was 15years younger. it would of been scary to see Mike go on for another few years under the control of Cus.
It was that good I went out and bought the dvd today.
After watching most of the documentary up until the end when they show his interview after the McBride fight, it's heart breaking to hear him say "I just don't have the love anymore, I have to support my family, this is all it was...I'm not that animal I used to be"
Really makes you think about teh Holyfield bout second bite.
obviously Tyson is to blame for biting Holyfield, he admitted this. But Holyfield did get away with his insane constant head butting. Pretty ridiculous that Tyson had gashes opened up on his head by head butts in BOTH fights.
It was awesome seeing him describe his rage in the second fight. How he wanted to kill him.
it was just another sympathetic look at his life...too bias. also there was no unseen archival footage. tyson himself does not really talk in depth on much. all in all it wasn't done very professionally...a huge dissapointment.
I watched it last night also.....TWICE!!!!......Mike was at his REALEST! Everytime he talked about how Cus made him believe in himself he got choked up.....real choked!......the BEST Tyson documentary EVER made! props to R-U-L-E for holdin' us down and postin' that in the Block......those who aint seen it yet.....its a must!
Content, insight and whole story was great.
I hated the way it was edited tho, felt like the editor only just found out how to do the '24' multishot effect and went trigger happy with it

This is a must see for boxing fans. It was like sitting down with Tyson and asking him to tell you his life story. It couldn't have been much better. Loved the fight footage added in too.
Highlights for me were his detailed accounts of the second Holyfield fight, his life with Cus, and his dwindling interest in his fighting career as he got more famous. Mike had some more of his famous quotes in that movie too. I caught myself laughing a few times.
i also liked it and let me tell you, boxing needs another fighter like that. his prime was short but so explosive and distructive.....he couldve accomplished so much more.....such an underahiever even tho he became world champion..
it was real sad watching how he went from being such a great fighter to losing to kevin mcbride..
great film.
Gr8 ****in movie. Kinda cool, kinda sad, very informative. A lotta the stuff from the movie he's discussed before in other interviews, but the movie was real in depth and it was all str8 from Tyson himself. Next boxing get together nite I have I gotta get my homies who ain't seen it yet to check it out.
