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.

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

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.

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.

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"

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.
