Review Video Of 15 Year Old Mike Tyson With Terrifying Power Knocking Out Opponents In 10 Second Flurry
On top of his elite talent whilst competing, Mike Tyson was never far from the controversy. Who could forget his infamous ear bite? Or the fact a trespasser was once attacked by one of his pet tigers. The life of Iron Mike is unprecedented to say the least.
He lives an incredibly tranquil life nowadays, not focussing on materialistic things, or even his belts from historic triumphs, all he wants is to be peaceful and provide the best for his family.
Mike Tyson at 15 years old was terrifyingly talented
Iron Mike was boxing official bouts by the time he was 15 and he looked like an animal back then. It wouldn’t have taken a genius to realise that he was destined for the very top, with one fight in particular standing out.
He was competing in the heavyweight championship match at the Junior Olympics in 1981, taking on Joe Cortez, but it wasn’t a contest at all. Check it out below in the recent viral tweet which shows the 10 second flurry which saw him take the victory.
Anyone can see from that video just how talented Iron Mike was and that he had potential in abundance. Cortez is sprawled out on the canvas after a brutal start to the bout which saw Tyson victorious.
The speed he came out of the blocks with is truly something to behold, especially adding that to his power. Even as a young boy, Tyson was in a league of his own, something that would remain a constant for the majority of his illustrious career.
There really is only one Mike Tyson, a character and talent we probably won’t see again in the sport ever again.
