    Comments Thread For: New Bruno-Tyson Documentary is a Nostalgic KO

    It was then that former heavyweight champions and rivals Mike Tyson and Frank Bruno came face to face. "I'm here for you baby," said Tyson, greeting Bruno at the front door of a plush Miami property while filming the new Bruno-Tyson film for Sky Documentaries.

    I was considering watching this, but I'm just assuming that it's just Bruno blowing smoke up Tyson's ass? That Bruno was a top 5/top 10 then just shows how little depth that era had. He wouldn't be top 50 now. Reigned supreme! Laughing my ass off. Hard-hitting, but no real skill, no speed, no stamina, no chin, like a tribute-act version of Anthony Joshua. Iron Mike was just a poor man's prime Povetkin.

        Bahahahahahaha! Iron Mike = poor man's prime Povetkin. You win the Roger Mayweather "You Don't Know $*^! About Boxing" award for the month of March. Nothing against Sasha though, he's a good fighter when he's not having fights cancelled b/c of all his doping.

          It's a good documentary, just a pity that there isn't more footage shown of Mike and Frank chatting when they met.

              Can't wait to see this. I still remember Harry Carpenter losing his shti after Frank buzzed Mike, "Get in there, Frank!". Harry later apologised for his moment of unprofessionalism.

                Decent documentary.

                Tyson-Bruno was never a rivalry both fights were totally one sided other than one punch from Bruno in the first one so it wasn’t that interesting really.

                  It's 80% well-known footage and 20% deep sadness, the latter emerging as one watches the old men reunite at the end. Time sure flies.

                    I'm not sure Tyson had so much in depth skill just he did things really great and was a physical freak. Speed and power andvreflexes. Like rjj
