Some ICEY Mike Tyson history for you guys...

[Pin Galarga]

That's what the amateur fights are for and I doubt Jimmy would of last a round after Tyson's style was defined.
Jimmy Who??

Is it True as a amateur Mike Tyson was stopped in the first round in a fight?

Tyson got stopped by Al Evans in 1982...I think it was the third, though,...

Mike Tyson, 1984 National Golden Gloves heavyweight champion (Holyfield won at 178)...

Young Scully how are you? This is Ray Corso the original trainer from Ring One in Hamden Conn. I had Ray Bright, Martin "Ike" Williams in the abf and Felix Marquez and Wilfredo Franco in the pros. Do you remember the "Hamden Hammer" Kenny Schmidt hahahaha and Jerry "Whimpy" Halstead? I remember you John when you started with Mac, and kept tabs on you through your boxing career. I hope your well and happy too, best to you.

I handled Mike for Cus at the JO Nationals (first year Colo Springs Oly. Center) and a few other shows I think the old man wanted me to keep an eye on Teddy more than the kid hahahaha!! Ray.

PS, just FYI...I write these things and u can be sure they are accurate...I either have th enewspaper articles and magazines that reported them at the time or I was there to see them live...etc...

There's some errors in the beginning. The article talks of an first round K.O but then it was a third round K.O

But I love your inputs to these boards. Amateur competition is rather fierce, and well overlooked by pro boxing fans.
Some of your best money spend, if you want entertainment, are some of the bigger amateur events.

[STEELHEAD]

well, amateur boxing up until around 1994 was more like pro boxing...u often saw some great fights...computer scoring ruined that...

you know scully i concider a lot of the goldenglove champs at a higher skill level then most of the chaps holding those hokey regional britt belts in the U.K.

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

GoogleMe, I fixed the error...it was 3RD round...
