  • Mitch Green did very very well considering it was Mike Tyson he was fighting

    • That's because Mike wanted to drag out the fight on purpose to teach him a lesson , Mike could have knock him out at anytime , he said that when the fight was over 😂

    • Pretty sure Mike was basically teasing him the entire match. Mike was showboating and dancing while slipping punches, cause he genuinely did not like Mitch at the time.

  • I saw Mitch Green on the NYC subway a few years ago. He didn’t look so good. However, I always said if Mitch Green had a better trainer and stayed off those drugs, he would have had a GREAT CAREER!!!!! He had Game! Punching power, Athleticism, Long Reach, A talented Boxer and Brawler. Drugs just got the Best of him! He was a damn good boxer who wasted his potential!
