KZhead needs to stop messing with creators content. The amount of quality that goes into motivedia presentations is astonishing. Thank you for the great content and hard work brother. Stay safe motivedia fam.
Are you familiar with boxing legends TV and what happened to them?
@@nicharding6800 yes I am, one of my favorite channels. That's exactly what happened to them. He kept getting de-monitized so he stopped uploading. They just did a video about 2 months ago and it got alot of views right away. But he didnt make a dime off it.
They have a few channels.. all roughly the same name, bltv, bltv extras..ect
@@loganmannke9023 Used to be one of my favorite channels as well. Really disappointing to see. Channels like this one and bltv etc. keep the boxing fan base going and draw in new fans
Motivedia should be on netflix haha
You can’t call him a coward unless you’re prepared to take his place in the ring
Thing is though that dude showed up to fight Mike F'ing Tyson. I still would not share a ring with Tyson today and he is 54 years old.
Michael S. honestly I don’t think any normal human would
@james jones that's just stupid. quit trying to make it a race war.
@james jones tyson fury would make you cry and then you'd be throwing up excuses like my suit was too heavy
I'd love to swap hands with a living legend.
A trainer not letting his fighter quit should be charged with a crime.
That’s damn near attempted murder
10000% agreed
😐 FR, I COULDN'T BELIEVE HE SAID THAT SHIT 😡 DAMN COACH SHOULDA GOT PUNCHED
Yep
Especially if his corner realizes how much damage been done
Imagine having a fractured cheekbone and herniated disc, but the man in your corner trying to force you to fight. True definition of criminality and neglect of duty.
criminality and neglect of duty do explain curious to know how a boxing coach would the full extent of his injuries he's a coach not a doctor
and a concussion on top of that. he could have died if he continued
The amount of money that was thrown around that night for gambling. The stakes were absolutely high. Sports has a real shady element to it given gambling being a major part of it.
And boxing/ufc? It's literally human dog fight rings. Take the sexy women, boozr and glamour out the equation and the whole thing is really grimey.
Imagine getting hit with a sledgehammer. Mike was blessed with strength. Anyone calling Golota a coward wouldn’t last 10 seconds with Mike.
10 secs? He has about 5 fights that never made it that far.
You are wrong about one thing : his strength wasn't a blessing to him, it was a curse.
i see u all over these tyson vids i’ve been on a binge lol

“If you quit you gotta live with that forever” Yeah, the same is true for catastrophic brain injury.

@@wendaltvedt4673 I don’t know about that part.
@@capoislamort100 You'd rather die than quit a boxing match?
@@wendaltvedt4673 I’ve seen fighters fought matches under worst conditions than Andrew Golota and grit their teeth to finish the fight. This dude was just a nutcase, who you don’t know what he might do next.
@@capoislamort100 He suffered a fractured cheekbone, concussion and a slipped disk in his neck. Had he continued he could have been paralyzed. And there were reports he had bleeding in the brain. I agree he was a nutjob but here he made the right decision by quitting.
I would rather be a "coward" than brain-damaged for show.
Im with u on that 1 and its kind of unprofessional and dangerous of his corner to not let him quit. If a fighter says stop the fight in the corner then u do it. Am i right?
That's your choice
Good luck going home to a country that ridicules you for being a quitter
Whaaaaat? You'd rather your health and safety over continuing a fight with a monster who could knock your chin 10 miles east? I don't blame you to be honest. 😂
@@rua3463 Really that's the sane thing to think, but I don't want to see sane people fight lmao
from what I've remembered, it took one year and half for him to recover from the injuries he got from that fight before he back to the ring again, it was literally a "near death experience".
That’s a little dramatic
Oh well. That's a consequence that comes with the profession.
@@007Hutchings not really mike tysons punches were so powerful in comparison to you or I i mean if you got hit by him then said that i'd be like well fair enough he knows the land well but no that's not the case bond james bond
@@Yahawadah70ad you can throw the towl for a reason
@@007Hutchings Concussion and herniated discs aren't 'a little dramatic' lmao people can die from concussion.
I love how they bring up the injuries he sustained and just only two rounds with one of the hardest punching boxers in history. A man who everybody knows when he enters the ring he wants nothing more than to lay you on the floor and they still call this guy a coward because he got tired of being physically hurt and broken in a ring. It's actually kind of sick that people believe that someone should continue and allow themselves to get even more messed up when they know themselves that the fight is over.
If his corner had called it when he said to it wouldnt have been nearly as big of a deal too. "Fighters trainer, under medical advice calls the fight!" is a much more mild and normal headline than "THE FUCKING GUY QUIT"
Says more about the people making them kinds of comments, than it will ever say about the fighter. Crowd mentality has bottomless ego
concussed with a broken cheek bone he STILL went another whole round
Not really, its a mental game as much as a physical one. Neither fighter really wants to get smacked so if you can quash an encounter without throwing a punch then bonus.
Because its someone else's body being damaged not theirs. Easy to spectate from a safe non threatening distance lol
"Cowardice" I'd like to see that commentator take a cheek breaking hook from Mike and ask for some more lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...and ask for some more??
@@danisomondi5210 Yeah, in six months or so, after he could talk again...
@@looneyburgmusic hahahaha...
Right. I think he is a coward for not quitting, when he said stop the fight.
mike fucking tyson
“He chose to live another day instead of being beaten down for entertainment” 😂
😭😂😂😂
He never should have hotten in the ring then. Hes not the only person Mike fought and whipped. Hes just the only COWARD.
....well theres another guy who took a dive and got a no contest
@@kevinsimmons5086 a coward I like to see you in there with prime Tyson stfu any smart man knows when to quit
@@kevinsimmons5086 in one punch he had a fractured cheek, a herniated disk and a concussion. 1 PUNCH. He did the right thing in terms of his health. Boxing has ruined lives and the fighters whos loves it has ruined dont deem it worth it. People die in this sport. I can only imagine how bad the damage to him would of been if he continued
Galota seemed to be the only one who understood how bad his injuries were. There comes a time to decide what is and isn't worth dying for. Quitting was the right move.
How disrespectful was that crowd. It takes real concern for your health to walk out of a professional fight. That's a stand up man to me. Any man that don't know when to walk away is a dead man. He was traumatized by this fight. I hope he found peace ain't no title worth your life.
Couldn’t agree more!! That’s what I said it takes a real man to know when he’s licked he was not a coward at all!!
You are right. Even in wars, you can put your hand up, and the enemy can not kill you. War crime, so this man did the right thing. Notice in the MMA, which is not dominated by black men, you can tap out? Facts
damn you are cute.
The coach trying to force the guard into Golota's mouth is one of the most shameful things I have ever witnessed in boxing.
I remember seeing that and expecting that coach was about to be laid out himself...
@@looneyburgmusic 😂😂😂
Money is a wicked thing.... unless it's my money, of course
@@looneyburgmusic He should have been
it sounds like the guy in the back yells out “ youre a disgrace to this family “
Every single person in that crowd throwing shit at Golata would cry for their mama if they were in the ring with Tyson for longer than a few seconds
They have to be brave enough to get in the ring first.
They wouldn't be conscious to cry from a jab. The man lifted 200 plus men two feet off the canvas with a uppercut like getting hit by a truck and jumping back out in front of it.
100% accurate on that one. "Iron" Mike Tyson punching you in the face. If I survived the first clean hit I'd be running for the door
@@catmandu8813 And there is zero shame to be had in that either, Tyson hit like a tank.
Pro fighter signed the contract and agreed to fight him just to quit. Cmon bro
The more I watch the video the more I see how he kept fighting and punching Mike knowing he already lost the fight. That right there says so much about a man.
As a former Pro MMA Fighter I really feel his trainer was negligent in forcing him into the second round. He could havee really gotten hurt bad going out there like that. Also a trainers 1st obligation is to the safety of his fighter. I get trying to talk him into going back out but when he is adamant about not continuing the fight should be stopped. Also had the trainer called it from the corner it would have saved him some dignity as opposed to having to walk out of the ring becuase no one would listen to him
Well said
As a fighter who wasn't good enough. Well said. Brains are made once. Bodies don't heal the same. I know some of that and I'm q nobody who never fought well.
Indeed. I myself was young when watching this one. I was talking all sorts of badness about the Kat when he quit, but for real...The crowd was a mob and throwing things...wanting to put his head on a stick or something. People talk about how his mental broke down. For real...you know you know you are broken...and the one person you're supposed to trust basically throws you back out with DISREGARD. Not a pep talk....And you go...All battered and with nothing left...to get hurt more. The trainer mentioned something about disgrace...and on the way out with all those injuries...getting hit with drinks...AND ITS TELEVISED... I'd have to ask...How easy would anyone judging gone through the same and not have some trauma issues?
100% on target.
He didn’t quit. He wasn’t listened to. He respected the fight and glad he fought with the legend. If his team didn’t listen to him, he had to do what he intended to do, so he did.
Knowing when you can't take anymore isn't cowardice, it's wisdom.
Or self preservation and the will to remain alive.
Bro, awesome statement
Everyone wants to be a badass but I think there comes a time when we know our body is actually under true danger of being ruined, that we all start to think of the simple things we love to do that we might never be able to again. Bravado runs up against the desire to...be able to see out of both eyes still....or walk in the part with the kids...
@@TheGrandmaster1 well said
Then he should not have signed up for this with Tyson. he should have fought some little guy he could have punched in the balls a few times
Its easy to call someone a coward eating popcorn watching. I bet these "brave men" wouldn't dare take a jab from Mike let alone his right hook.
They wouldnt stand in a 3 mile radius of Tyson in his prime
I mean hitting low is kinda cowardly
Lol
imagine catching a combo ewwww sweet chin music ... nahhh might knock your jaw off
A popcorn eats a coward?
“If you quit you gotta live with that forever” But at least you are gonna LIVE.
A man with no respect is as good as dead.
👏👏👏
“They can keep their titles, I want to strip them of their health” excuse me
I love how the commentator called him cowardice for leaving the ring 😂 I’d love to see the commentator fight mike Tyson 😂
Right, he was getting hit in his cheek which just got fractured. I woulda quit too
He could have just faked a knockout
Time stamp?
Oh Donky literally said he had 1 concussion, I woulda quit on the first knockout
Obviously the commentator would get knocked tf out just like you or I would but he was a professional fighter. You gotta want it more than that plain and simple.
Golota quitting was a very smart move, he didn’t want to be brain damaged.
Facts
He already had received a concussion, next stop : death !
Mike Tyson has brain damage now though
Ace Marshals most boxers have
Mike Tyson is alot smarter than anyone gave him credit for. Watch Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson. He also does a Broadway show. That mans in remarkable mental shape for a boxer as sucessful with as long a career and for his age. And if your saying hes dumb now he mustve been a genius in the early days. Btw he's high af when he's spouting his knowledge on that show he's a big history buff. He may not be a genius but he never was plus he has alot more going on than just common sense. I myself was surprised
Tyson brought punishment in the ring to a whole new level. He was the absolute best ever in his prime.
and this was not his prime. Can you believe it??
He himself admitted that he isn't the animal anymore and that was not his prime also.. Think what would had happened if galota faced young tyson..
Mike was a front runner. He had no character. Look for Teddy Atlas’s opinion of him. Yes a very good puncher, one of the best, who would have been beaten by Ali, Holmes, Joe Louis and many others. Watch his fight with Pinklin Thomas. This is the guy who had to bite an opponents ear almost off to get out of taking a beating. Mike was a great puncher not a great fighter.
@@Kidgavilan700 with ur sense tyson wouldve been beat by the likes of ronnie lyle lmao
@@HunteR1199 I did not write that. Mike was a front runner. Great puncher not a great fighter. Has to bite Evander. Mike liked knocking people out. He did not like to fight. I defer to Teddy Atlas and his knowledgeable opinion of Mike. End of my story.
During this fight, I remember thinking he was a coward for quitting. After realizing the injuries he sustained and his corner ignoring his plea to stop the fight, boxing fans owe that man a huge apology for the way he was treated.
no, fuck all of that. if you go in the right as a PROFESSIONAL FIGHTER, that is the career path you have chosen. deal with it
@@Rarez2 So you don’t care if somebody Can’t physically continue, so you just don’t even listen to someone who physically needs help. You have no soul.
@@haydenkohn9253 I HAVE NO SOUL. YES THIS IS VERY TRUE. NOW GO CRY IN A CORNER.
@@Rarez2 lol dumb ass statement... then saw the name... ahhh gotcha
@@Rarez2 You sound pathetic man. There is a line between toughness and stupidity
It takes being a REAL man to know when you've lost.
all the cowards running their mouths would not have the heart to go out there with all of the injuries he had sustained. shameless dogs and hyenas barking from their safe spaces. clowns.
@@MrJeebusWalks ok mrjeebuswalks
@@dustydeemer8347 ok duster deemer
@@MrJeebusWalks yea their morality is fuked
Agreed
I think it took a lot of courage to refuse to continue that fight. He sure didn't look scared, it looked more like he knew he couldn't take many more punches like that one without being permanently damaged or worse. Good on him.
No one can call him a coward, he was in the ring and knew what went through his mind with that first shot, such coaches should be fired. Imagine him perishing in the ring just to satisfy viewers Getting to the ring with Tyson in the first place is a big applause for him
"Despite his post-fight medical showing a fractured cheek bone, a herniated disk, and concussion...." I mean, how much more do you have to suffer before its OK to quit?
People assholes thats why ion too much care about being kool with everybody. They would rather see this man hurt for life than have a fight cut short. Watch People in actions in every circumstance possible and see if you think they a "good" person.
That's always been the problem with modern day boxing, the stupid idea that real-life fighters are like Rocky and can take any amount of punishment without their body literally breaking in two.
@Pompeii So if Mike Tyson breaks your face and you don't want to fight him anymore you're not a man? Ridiculous comment. In that case I'm no man and I'm pretty sure you're not either.
@Pompeii sorry it’s your time of the month, I think my gf has some tampons for you
@Pompeii that's crazy because nobody fucking asked you
He did the right thing. Anyone thinking that he quit early is wrong. A boxer knows if he is hurt. The Pole showed intelligence.
yeah not wanting to die isn't cowardly
@@kaischreurs2488I agree. I can't imagine getting hit in the jaw by my 15 year old daughter with a herniated disk and fractured cheek. That is Mike Tyson across the ring
Yeah that first knock down was nasty
His pleas to stop the fight would have been taken far more seriously medically had this happened in todays boxing.
@@hazeboy8981 ...YES. IT WAS THAT GOES TO SHOW YOU THAT IF THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN BOX AS A PRO IS BY CHEATING ( LOW-BLOWS ) THEN YOU NEED THE DUST KICKED OUT YA STINKIN TAIL !!!
Definitely not cowardice. Two trained professionals. Wise enough to know when to fold it.
He realized he had no chance of defending against a faster man and was seriously hurt by the power. Survival instinct kicked in, no shame in that really.
Tyson was so deadly He made opponents consider changing religions, gender, life insurance policy, funeral dates, & Last Will and Testament.
holy hell!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
don't forget how many boxing careers he finished
lmao
Now u got me cracking 😂😂😂 #where the "F"u brought this piece of writing from damn!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

ANYONE that gets in a ring with Mike Tyson should get an award just for being there.
For a million bucks I'd do it and I'm not even a big guy and I'm 60 :) knock me out and then when I eventually wake up I'm a rich man. Put me in coach!!
@@vroomgc and take all that money an throw it on doctors and medication. A punch from a professional heavyweight boxer is only meant to be taken by other professionally trained boxers, not us, ordinary people.
@@FirebonE_88 Lol. I grew up playing physical hitting sports, till I was in my 40's. I'll take my chances.
Once I am of age in five years I’ll gladly take an uppercut or a hook from Mike Tyson for 1 mil I’m a short stocky guy and play contact sports so it would be an easy 1 mil I would gladly make like the other guy said when I wake up I’m rich if I do wake up that is

Well maybe he needs more TRAINing....... Jk. Good point.
The poor guy had a fractured cheekbone, herniated disc and a concusion yet words like sheer cowardice, frozen, melted down, mental aptitude. Would he have won no, this is messed up and barbaric.
Hate the dude for what he done i ln previous fights, but i agree with you totally.
Well said
Absolutely spot on. For his long term health it was the right thing to do, given the injuries he'd sustained.. Professional boxers, especially at this level, aren't cowards.
Very well said
Yeah I don't get it why people are so mean like wtf
Insane how Mike Tyson’s said before the fight “it’ll last as long as it takes to kill somebody” and if golota would have kept going it could have actually killed him, Mike tyson wasn’t lying
🧢
No cap@@83wasagoodyear
My uncle was in the 7th row at the Tyson/Golata fight and he said that the sound of Tyson's punches landing from the beginning of the fight made everyone beside him wince and say "oh my GOD!"
I'd like to see people's mental adversity after having a fractured cheek bone, being concussed and having a herniated disc, from a boxing fight in front of thousands in a stadium against Mike Tyson
Honestly people don’t realize how hurt andrew gloata was. Anyone normal person with those injuries would collapse right the and there
@@elitedogger7948 Yea exactly, I also think some people tend to forget, boxing is a sport, combat but still a sport and it doesn't have to be life or death in there and shouldn't be either
Exactly, man. It always stuns me when people, who's biggest accomplishment was wiping their own arse in the morning, can tell a professional, world-class boxer what he should or shouldn't be doing.
Take a flush punch from Mike Tyson and see if your face doesn't break.
Many boxers have had that problem and worse and returned to the ring. Danny Jacobs and many more stop thinking these problems are rare
He was braver than most for getting in that Ring
Yea
Hell yes
Oh no, with the amount of money being paid I would have taken the risk
@@collinsjahred2154 £2,000,000 is a lot of money but you can’t spend it if you’re dead or brain damaged! Maybe with some of today’s purses it could be worth the risk but even then, same applies for me.
Brave 🤣🤣🤣hes a boxer thats what boxers do get in the ring u telling me u think hes brave for doing what hes always did "get in the ring"
I was there that night. I knew he was going to quit after Mike landed the first body shot. I don't blame him I would have quit too.
That punch that put Golata down was like a southbound freight train doing 80 it stopped him dead in his tracks I can only imagine how it felt
Smart man he knew when to quit didnt let his ego rule him
Truth
No he accepted the fight and trained for it prior he was fully aware of the risk and possibilities that could happen so it's cowardice
@@ttm.spicyyy9844 you're telling me he had to risk permanent brain damages? Getting a second clean punch from Tyson could be lethal..
@@ttm.spicyyy9844 take a punch from mike then
@@ttm.spicyyy9844 naw fam you could brain damage and its dangerous people actually die from like that especially fighting mike tyson. Many people went crippled from brain damage or died like Patrick day. So he smart knew went to quit.
i felt the pain in his voice when he said "stop the fight"... that coach should be ashamed of himself
The editing, writing and narration on this channel is top flight.
Shock, some people are not there for the sport, but for blood and death. It is a fine line fans of boxing dance upon. I am glad Golata knew his limits.
"I don't want to strip them of their belt, I want to strip them of their health"... There will NEVER be another Mike Tyson...
I officially apologise to gollata. I watched that fight and was pissed. I didn't know until now he had a concussion and a broken face. He didn't quite he was beat and hurt and he knew it.
Well said he was knocked so early in the fight he was injured while Tyson literally hadn't warmed up yet gollotas corner didnt check his eyes or his balance they were negligent
ESP that Tyson said he wanted to kill him or take his health… he knew Tyson would destroy him.
And his corner should have taken care of him but they betrayed him! They couldn't care less that he was seriously injured.
Yes, it could’ve quickly gotten a whole lot worse for him.
And I believe a vertebrae in his neck was fractured too
No one ever steps into the ring for a "game" of boxing. It's a hard lesson in your own abilities & shortcomings & there's no hiding places. Anyone who stepped up to face Mike Tyson has my respect as they knew beforehand what he was capable of & what the likely outcome of a fierce punch to the head is. Galota's previous notoriety followed him around but only *he* knew of his limits. Boxing on against Tyson with injuries such as he had could've been fatal & whilst it's easy to call someone a coward, it's impossible to really know Galota's mental health.
Thank you for making the video
Takes a lot of bravery and intelligence to assess a situation like that and walk away from it. I have nothing but respect for him
I think context is important. Golata would never be in the same zip code as the word smart. But he did do the correct thing here by quitting. Golata was a bully and behaved as such in his other fights, he won't get any respect from me. But I won't penalize him from withdrawing from this fight. In short, he did the right thing by quitting but he don't deserve any respect, dude is a classic tomato can
@@kibbleofdoom what do you mean he was a bully? Theres no such thing in boxing as bully.
@@lr44x13 I'm referring to the biting and nutshot disqualifications. He has a history of dirty fighting and I think that dirty fighting makes you a bully. Think Margarito v cotto situation
Agreed! Only a moron would continue! The guy had a head injury, he probably was in severe pain, couldn’t see well…he felt something was wrong, and it’s a shame he had to look out for himself, and save his own life.
@@kibbleofdoom Then you can call Tyson a bully too? Your comment makes no sense bully doesn't exist in fighting
This is not cowardice, this is called WISDOM!
No not at all he knew what he signed up for and what Tyson had done in his career and trained for it then backed out like a pussy
Wisdom would be not entering a ring you can't stand. He was smart.
Yeah the only coward was the coach for not respecting Golota's request when he asked to stop the fight
Exactly. Sometimes you have to walk away to fight another day. He fought so much in his life he knew he was hurt. Screw what everyone else says because everyone else wouldn't even have gave it a go.
The post fight interview with Golota will live in my head rent free for the rest of my life 🤣🤣
“I don’t want a title I wanna strip them of their health” Who in their right mind is still getting in the ring with Mike after he says this.
He almost died, I respect him, He took the most humiliating option. It was the hardest decision in his life, the man stepped in the ring, took a beating and went back in for seconds. Yes he quit in the first round but he still went in, How are they questioning his character. Some guys would have taken that first punch and just stayed down, they would have taken the count and no one would have said anything, but because he tried on 2 separate occasions, the first being the knockdown, and the second was returning to the second round. The man did much more then others would have ever dared, shame on the disrespectful commentators.
@Flying Cupcake 😂😂😂
Flying Cupcake What😂
Yes, talk is cheap easy to say what you would, do but doing it, that's different.
Exactly, like Spinks championship fight with Tyson, take a shot and hit the canvas
Agreed!! 👍😂🤣

Great video & narration!
Man the Palace is basically my backyard, can’t believe they got rid of it along with the silver dome. Luckily i got to see ALOT of monster jams, WWE, and ALOT of Detroit Viper hockey games there but never seen the pistons play, i also got to play a football game through parks and rec league at the silver dome and it was the only game we won that season lol but i never seen a Lions game there, still have pictures from that game, my uncle brought a crazy good camera for the times (2002) and i got to keep the memories. But seeing Tyson would have been even better than any of that, too bad i was born in 90 a but too late.
the nuts it takes to say "nah I'm done" it's fuckin impressive to do that.
@Ghib Jones lol ok ghib jones tyson would have you on your arse flat out in round 1 u wouldnt evem be conscious to quit you melon nevermind stay standing
He said “STOP THE FIGHT” the second time with NO accent. He wanted to make SURE he was heard and understood. 😂
You stole this comment 😂😭
He got in the ring with tyson which takes courage
Well ye but this is literally copy and pasted lol. I read one from like 6 months ago and it was literally the exact same lmao
Punched the accent out of him
He clearly said "STOP ZE FIGHT"
"If you hit him low one more time, it's over, do you understand that? He said 'yes, I do' - walked out there, hit him low." LMAO
Knowing when to quit is the smartest thing. Sometimes it’s a life saving decision.
i swear i remember Golota saying about Tyson in an interview "NO MAN should be able to hit that hard" he felt something we didnt so how could we talk down on a guy with a fractured cheekbone, concussion, & herniated disk all from 1 punch
Yup. I can promise you that if I took that right that Golota took in the 1st, there’s no chance that I’m getting back up, let alone surviving a second round.
Imagine if the same punch came from the same Tyson wearing MMA gloves :O
@@GraduateMonkey thats the thing, you cant punch stronger with mma gloves or no gloves, because you vould hurt your hand. Try hit a wall with 16oz gloves and then try it with no gloves... U will definitely not punch harder.
@@Ic3g3org3 but you won't need to punch as hard. That is my point. The surface of the impact will be much smaller and thus more concentrated to do more damage. Also, you may as well be willing to risk damaging your hand for a one-punch KO - in high-pay-day fights. I don't the gloves are to protect the hands only. They are also to protect the life of boxers.
@@GraduateMonkey no, it doesnt work that way. Look at Bare Nuckle Championchip (or something like that). Without gloves u do more cuts, but the real damage is way higher with gloves. First of all the reasons i mentioned before, second there is more mass (weight of the glove) hitting your head.
"I don't want that title I want to strip them of their health" good LORD
Hahaha, oh hell no if I was going to fight him and he said that I wouldn’t moved to the other side of the country
Mike was always saying some cross shit. LOL
holy shit!,😂🤣😂
Don’t forget eat his heart and children too. Mike Tyson in animal mode lmao 🤣
Yeah dude wasn't messing around. He didn't go out there to make friends. Dude was gonna put a HORTIN' on sumbody yo!!
Brilliant video showing the real truth of fighting and the boxing 🥊 world !!!
Respect for Golata for knowing he was beaten and perhaps saving his own life.
I don't belive admitting defeat makes you a coward. Anyone standing in the ring across from Mike is no coward.

Nobody who ever stepped into the ring with Mike can be considered a coward.
Bout to be 2022 and the dudes still a dangerous savage
He's no coward. Tyson could literally kill someone. He weighed the odds and risks of continuing and realized he was unable to keep from bieng seriously injured or killed. They dont say "Iron Mike" for nothing..
Then he shouldn't have accepted the fight. Many other fighters half of his size, and didn't have even half of his punching power, stood toe to toe until the fight was over, fight was stopped, or there was an KO. He agreed to the fight. To put in bluntly and plainly he just didn't have as much balls as he thought he had. He got cut and wanted to quit because he knew there and then what he signed up for and knew that he didn't have the heart to fight. Quitting and giving up, RUNNING AWAY, was easier than manning up, following through with what he signed up for, and seeing it out. Even if it ment a knockout
@@michaelcrabtree1856 ok you get your ass in there with Mike
@@michaelcrabtree1856 thats why u not a boxer
@@davidparra6938 lol and you are? Lol bars are more than enough of an learning experience there boy
Literally? As compared to what, figuratively? You're on that bandwagon, huh?
"I don't want their title, i wanna strip him of his health" Tyson is a scary, scary dude! Another great video!
Travis Godfree 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
..’brother’s _daaarrk_ man - *really* dark..!
lol no way i would even talk back to him
Tyson is cut from a different cloth man sheesh.
MidNighT JZ you mean chiseled from a different *_granite..!_*
Golota looked reluctant in the first round. His trainers didn't work on him psychologically but picked up in the second round. He's a hero for his well-being.
As I see it, Andrew Golota knew it was over after feeling that first hit. Remember, he lost two Championships because of dirty tactics, but was unprepared for an opponent who's punch can actually break bone. Once that hit connected, he was basically done for. He knew he was not going to survive the onslaught. He realized that it was better to throw in the towel and still have a recognizable face, that to throw it all away just to seem tough.
"He chose this profession. He has to continue." Man, I wish Andrew would've started punching everyone around him. See how they like getting hit by a fucking train.
this was the only proper answer to all of those bloodthirsty morons
@@MrJeebusWalks No, the proper answer would have been, "He's a PROFESSIONAL, TRAINED boxer, who is more than capable of knowning when he can no longer go on, and it is not his job to DIE for your amusement."
@@looneyburgmusic lol ok
@@MrJeebusWalks So... You think boxers should be expected to just go on, no matter how injured, and maybe die, just to give you a good show?
@@looneyburgmusic no I dont, your reading comprehension skills leave a lot to be desired
he made the right decision. Tyson was out to hurt him. This man was smart to withdraw from the fight, not cowardice.
He was smart NOT TO TAKE THE FIGHT!!!! Anything other than that was a fuckin Obligation and Commitment! Coward.
@@kevinsimmons5086 - over your personal health? Nah bruh
@@felipepineda1585 then dont take the fight. Its real simple. Everybody knows what a fight with mike tyson entails.
@@kevinsimmons5086 - I get your point. I do. No one goes into a fight thinking they're getting their ass kicked. Then you are sure to lose. But, if you feel like you're seriously hurt, bail. Might make you look weak, but u may have people counting on you OR you don't want to be disabled over it
@@felipepineda1585 Yes. Look up fractured cheek bone he suffered from the blow. Their not only painful but left him ripe for serious damage if it got hit again as it surely would have. Sure he knew asap in requesting his coach to stop it.
As soon as Mike left Kevin Rooney everything started going down hill. It's a real shame. I believe if he would have continued with Rooney he would have retired undefeated. After Rooney he lost his head movement and became completely unprofessional in his training and competing
Don King is the one that convinced Tyson to get rid off Kevin Rooney. I think it went all down hill when he had Don King in his life.
Facts. And don king being the devil he is as the other commenter mentioned. Don king ruined so many fighters. Look at how he abandoned Gerald McClellan for instance. He's literally a vegetable now in Freeport Illinois.
Yes and I think it affected Mike a lot when Cus Dmato passed. He did well but he goofed around and lost some of discipline. And he lost 3 good years of his prime in prison which was unfortunate.
Losing Cus was what really made the difference. He became less of a human, but at least Rooney helped him remain a good fighter. Don King was a vulture.
@@RockPolitics I agree, you cant party and take drugs and expect to stay at the top of the game. When he fought Holyfield he wasn't the fighter he was before his 3 yrs. in prison, which is also sad. Like Ali he spent 3 prime fighting years inactive.
Would like to see all those calling him a coward take a hit like that and keep going.
my respects to Golata. i respect a man that knows his limitations.
Problem is he's done it multiple times and it's a pattern. When he sees himself getting beat early, he either quits outright or he starts punching you in the groin. If this was a single incident, I'm with you. Unfortunately it's not.
Clint Eastwood: "A man has to know his limitations."
He’s a wuss
At least he had the balls to step in the ring with him.
@@JeffSmith-eq3kc I don't care what the reasoning is. If he says "I quit" he quits. No one should force you to take a fight you don't want to whether they call you a coward or not. If his trainer was worth 2 salts he would have shut up and thrown in the towel, it wasn't his body at stake nor his trophy to get had he won.
Perfect timing because IRON MIKE IS BACK
MIKE TYSON V ROY JONES IS ON
@abdul wakeel prime Mike? Her could have taken on anybody in the full history of boxing...
@@jeroen1989 true he would've beaten Lewis and holyfield
@abdul wakeel mike tyson also beat Frank Bruno Who's in the boxing hall of famr
@abdul wakeel and also the 80s were not the most competitive decade Of boxing but mike tyson fought the best he could fight, he would of avoid A lot of losses in his career if he wasn't surrounded by controversy
Golata had a broken chick bone, a cut on the eyebrow, a concussion and all that from a single punch. He knew he was outranked and he chose to quit rather than going to the hospital for their entertainment! Aknowlegment of your opponents superiority and your own limits is honorable! Respect to the fighter and shame to the coach forcing him to continue when they all knew it was over!!!
That had to be real.tough to choose health over pride. 20yrs ago I'd be talking smack. Now I see how precious life is & admire his strength in knowing his own weakness. Respect.
13:10 Sheer cowardice? Put that commentator in the ring with Tyson and see who lasts longer.
Doesn't matter you idiot, he's a fighter and chose to quit in the middle of a fight, that is cowardly.
@@BigAssNigga311 idiot he had severe brain damage after also went to the hospital for a few days
@@BigAssNigga311 as much as I'd say I'd like to be a bad ass warrior and finish them off. No come back to fight another day and take the L train harder and rematch
Was just thinking the exact same. Anybody who thinks that guy was cowardly doesnt understand real life. If a man cant quit his job when he wants that makes him a slave
It took courage to do what Golota did here
He stepped into the ring and lasted 2 full rounds against someone who literally wanted to kill him..... .....I think he made the right choice🤷♂️
Tyson never wanted to actually kill anyone in the ring.... He just didn't care if he did...
Indeed
@@looneyburgmusic Mike actually said in a interview that he wanted to kill Trevor Berbick in the ring for hurting Ali in his last fight
@@HyperCookieZ that's because ali was his idol, and he wanted revenge for ali, but his other fights he went in for the success not to kill, but he knew he could
Mike said he was going to blast "his jaw and ribs," mission accomplished 🤣
the guy was never a coward, he just wants to live and be with his wife and children till his old, I look for the guy and google him and on other social media, the guy looks content and happy being with his family, he's still with the women he married 30 years ago. that right there is an achievement. HE IS BOXER NOT A SOLDIER. talking about pride and shit. yeah, you fight for your country, but before any of that, the guy fights to make a living and hope that someday he can give his family a good life, and yeah he did. BOXING IS A SPORT, not a WAR. at the end of the day you have your own reason why you fight. I hate people like this calling other people cowardly when they don't know that person personally. these people who like to call other people coward, try poking them with a needle they'll scream like 5 years old. I GOT ALMOST 2K likes. haha! I don't know what to say. thnx, I guess. since I have this many likes, let me say to everyone reading this. " let's just respect one another's decision, we all have our own perspective and goals in life. enough with the judging and hate, we too feel bad if we are judge without knowing us personally right? '' anyhow thank you again. Merry Christmas and have a productive New Year.
💯💯💯
You speck fax
Salvaged History : If it the latter then considered him a SMART MAN. Those that call him a coward are Just Jealous. Because he could take that money start a business or just retire from boxing and just enjoy the rest of his life as a millionaire in Poland.
Salvaged History that “one good hit “fractured his cheek bone and gave him other injuries to the face 💀 yes tf I would leave too before he punches my face even more and break some more shit.
The guy was no COWARD..I was hit so hard once that i ran as fast as USAIN BOLT..that was while going to school in the early seventies
Man knew he was injured & honestly can't blame him for ignorance of the spectators *he deserves respect*
Dude did absolutely nothing wrong- Mike hurt him BAD. If he kept fighting, he could have sustained a life-changing injury. There’s no cowardice in recognizing when you’re completely outmatched, especially after the dude literally breaks your face in round 1
I seem to remember Tyson saying similar things between rounds in either the Holyfield or Lewis fight. "I can't do it" etc when he was taking a beating.
Today is exactly one year from Maxim Dadashev's death in the ring. Don't judge boxers when they wanna live and not die there
But no some people in the comment section apparently wanted him to die in there, i mean this isn't the gladiator days we evolved passed that stage, maybe don't give the guy recognition, but atleast stop shitting on him man. Most of these keyboard warriors would live in fear for the rest of their lives if they even took a single punch in the ring.
Skidrow vast majority of gladiators didn't fight to the death. The commenters are actually regressing to an even more primitive time in history.
To whoever calls this man a coward, I'd like to see you survive in the ring with Mike.
I'd like to see you get disappointed for a fight you paid cuz the fighter didn't want to continue to fight
Exactly everybody was tough until they were in his shoes, they'd be walking out too.
@@aburakuma4600 Bros it's a sport not fight to the death for money...
@@alexandervos6939 no shit boxing is a sport
@@aburakuma4600 Yeah, thanks for agreeing with me
Golota quitting deserves respect. The man truly knew himself and his limits. These people calling him a quitter are the idiots in the crowd waiting for a snuff live performance.
7:01 😂😂boxing bag with a pair of shorts on so he doesn't hit low
Just looking at Mike through my phones screens makes me wonna quit 😂
Lmao 😂
I respect this boxer a lot. Knowing when to quit is one of the most important things in life. Quitting too early is not good and quitting too late or not quitting in a losing situation can be catastrophic. Just like the song says from Kenny Rogers... you gotta know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away, know when to run...
12:17 "Did you really recover from that knockdown at the end of the first round?" Andrew Golota: *indecipherable gibberish* I'm going to go ahead and say no
This actually had me in tears 😢 poor man
Now he's fighting Roy Jones man, about to be a murder, gonna miss Roy 😭
😂😂
Iis yee whshuqayau
🤣🤣🙈
@Bartandalus Blue one is way bigger than the other
Nah bruh🤦🏽♂️ they both said that they won’t go for the kos and we don’t know Tyson’s staminaor how well he could actually fight(at this age), he only showed small clips
It’s so crazy to me that grown men that know how to fight, and fought all their lives. Even they are afraid of Tyson
I really think it had to do with the vertebra displaced Iv always wrestled but tweaked my neck and its a pretty scary feeling unlike being rocked or sheer pain its different and life altering!!!
The problem in this fight was his shitty corner.. If you get massively injured in a fight, it is the corners biggest responsibility to protect you. And this corner was just ignoring him.. total garbage. Besides, in heavy weight boxing many people are afraid of the competition. They just would never show that, but that is one of the main reason that the boxers appear to be such egomaniacs.. they have to convinve themselves constantly that they are better. Also, Mike Tyson said that he was afraid before every fight.
@@oooBASTIooo he really should have said my neck hurts and I'm worried I think that would cleared things up or at least tempered the hatred he got after he quit
@@wonderingwonderer3747 I'm pretty sure that he told the corner that.. He is not the most vocal person out there, but a coach who trains a fighter for a while should know how he acts and if something is odd. and then do the right thing.
@@oooBASTIooo Ya it really sucks I was hating him as a coward rite till the end when I heard he had a damaged vertebra, then i felt like a an ass and I actually think he made the right decision.
