    LOL. Wow, just watched Mike Tyson vs Reggie Gross for the first time...

    They are playing Tyson's greatest hits on ESPN Classic. In this fight, Tyson kept coming forward, Reggie went into a possum playing guard position blocking Tyson's puches, then out of no where opened up with like a 15 punch flurry with some landing, but with Tyson's head movement the landed punches were rolled with or grazed him, then Gross lands an uppercut that somewhat lifts Tyson's head back, but again Tyson moved up with it so it was not with full effect, then as you can see in the replay, Tyson quickly plants his feet, sets himself up, and BOOM! one left hook takes him down...

    for someone watching that particular fight for the first time, it was exciting...you don't see too many fighters other than Holyfield, Douglas and Danny Williams really open up on Tyson with intensity throughout his career...it was almost as if he got mad at Gross for thinking he could actually win the fight...

    man, all of the physical tools (power like Foreman, two fisted bombs like Louis, jab like Liston when he used it, left hook like Frazier, speed like Ali, head movement like Frazier, killer instinct like Dempsey and Marciano)...just lacked the heart and will...

    damn what a waste...

      ^the one where the guy flew back into the ropes? lol...it looked like he hit the guy in the eye or on the forehead...

      did you notice that after that fight, a little red headed boy was in the ring and asked Tyson directly "where did you hit him?" and some other guy was asking him the same thing...that guy and Tyson were both pointing to their noses thinking that the punch was on the nose...

        I watched a good portion of it. Tyson was devastating, a lot of times, his opponents are dropping dead. Lights out punching machine. You could have seen the face after they got knock out. Is like what happened when Thompson stretch JuyJuy boyfriend's forehead. It did not matter how big they were because Tyson gonna flatten their head like when Thompson flatten Juy Juy boyfriend's forehead. ha ha ha ha I'm clowning like Naz. hha ha ha aha.

          Yeah, if Tyson hadn't landed that bomb as he was taking the uppercut, it may have been a completely different fight. I mean, we know how Tyson hates uppercuts. He might have backed off and never been the same fighter. Odd to think about, isn't it?
