The sound of Tysons punch's over the people cheering is crazy the power of the hit he had at 19 is insane.
I was an 80's kid that grew up playing Mike Tyson's Punch Out and thinking he was totally invincible. I still remember the exact spot I was standing in as an 8 year old kid when I found out Buster Douglas had upset him. I was absolutely devastated and the heir of invincibility had been instantly shattered. That being said, I STILL consider Mike Tyson the most intimidating human being I have ever seen in my life and I view him almost like I view a great white shark that I see on tv. I can watch Shark Week or Jaws and feel like I'm gonna get attacked by a shark... on my couch! LOL! I have that same level of fear towards Tyson as he is somebody I would absolutely never wanna cross in my life!
@@SimpleManGuitars1973 same here Tyson's the best ever for me too
The hardest puncher ever
@@jameshaslam152 absolutely true !
19? Dayumn, Im 20 and Im nowhere with my life...
I just Googled John Alderson to see what he ended up doing. Saw a Facebook post and great picture by Mike Tyson. "Wonderful moment for me the other evening. John Alderson, one of my first opponents from 1985, came up to me to say hi." He looked great and super excited to see Mike. $hit like that is what life's all about 💪🏼💪🏾❤
Hell yeah man
His physique-intimidating His boxing intensity-Ferocious His Voice-Adorable ☺️
His voice is scary not because its dark or intiminating its scary because its Mike tyson
Tyson sucks. Never beat anybody good. 😂😂😂😂
When I was young and I heard Mike say "ferocious" I used to think he was saying "I'M FOR ROACHES!"
Because God nerf him
His defence- Impregnable
Poor feller. Had a little skill, had reach, he was game...too bad history hadn't happened yet. Dude had no idea he was in there with Mike Tyson. They said he was 29. He was probably 33 by the end of the fight.
With his retirement 📜📜
65, straight to retirement
Yet a mans prime is 30-37 mma? All the top mma fighters in the heavyweight division are well over 30. They didn't eat well back than i guess?
There is a reason most mma fighters peak at 30-36. How could any man be past his prime at 28? The guy looks 40+. People either aged fast back than or didn't train properly.
33? That's a mans prime usually. The dude was slow was fuck and looked terrible. Imagine a prime cain (33) against Mike He would make him his bitch. If you age fast it's due to diet or lifestyle. Mike was fighting bums. The current heavyweights in mma are usually around 32-37. Kid Tyson would be mauled.
Tysons movement here is insane, seen this knockout probably a thousand times but never the whole fight. I love these throwback uploads!
Hp top.
I was thinking the opposite. He barely moved his head.
No, this is a very young but talented tyson. He had yet to reach his peak here, and still knocking people out. Personally, by tyson standards, I wouldnt call it insane.
@Yeager Consulting Ok bro thanks for that 👍
Well considering it wasn’t a knockout, you’re a complete liar💀
He’s the most humble guy who fought Mike I have ever seen
Donnie Long thinks HE was the most humble
@@morrnmanderson7376 cómo olvidar a Donnie, el primero de los 3 boxeadores que se burlaron de Tyson y terminaron brutalmente derrotados.
@@morrnmanderson7376im sorry donny long was the absolute best. " I think I'm a better boxer than tyson. More power..." lmbo the best the most humble lmao
Mike Tyson’s jab was such an underrated weapon of his…in his prime.
And he wasnt no where near his prime in this fight
I'M guessing still.
Tyson…..jab? Lol. What’s he wearing? I see him using the left as a range finder….then the hooks and straight right. Tyson landed a good jab in the 2nd.
This is your comment 😂 ok his jab felt like a uppercut and his uppercut felt like a bulldozer. . that's the comment
Mike Tyson left hand may have been more active than his right. But please don’t call it a “jab”.
He was such a nice, humble guy at the beginning. Then Cus died, Don King happened, and it all went to his head and messed him up. Really sad.
I do agree but also in addition to what you said..... Money & fame pouring in doesnt help either.
Excuses
I'm not sure if humble is right. He seemed aware of how good he was. He was respectful to other fighters and the sport. Its great seeing his early fights. He was so methodical along side his power.
Cus always reminded him the money was second to family and discipline. After Cus he was susceptible and ignorant to the greed of others, and even himself.
@@97warlock money does not change you it only makes you more of what you are
1:31 😂😂😂 he turns to mike and directs the “if you knock someone down, the standing boxer goes to his corner” he already knew what it was lmaooo
John had no idea what he walked into. Poor dude.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏
What's crazy is he actually DID know what he was walking into and that's what makes it even more insane. LOL! Tyson was hardly a secret and I have the utmost respect for anybody that ever had the guts to climb into the ring with a prime Tyson and especially all the fall guys that knew they were gonna get killed.
He looked just a little like Corrie Sanders brother or something but couldn't bang like the sniper though
😂
@SimpleManGuitars1973 fall guys? Like, rigged fights?
It takes so much courage to be knocked down by Tyson and get back up knowing you’re just asking for more punishment and pain.
Did y’all know John alderson is actually my grandfather? Him and Tyson are still friends now lol but we still talk about it to this day. The doctors said that he could play cuz of his eye it wouldn’t stop bleeding but my grandpa said he would have kept on. But thank you guys for still tuning into this. Btw like I said their is no beef at all they are good with each other.
It's very cool to be able to say he went a couple of rounds with a young Mike Tyson. Not too many guys can do that.
I'm watching all of Tyson's fights,one by one! My favorite boxer ever. To this day,he is an inspiration.
The first fight with Frank Bruno is my favorite, Bruno was a big, tough guy!
@@donbeadling5426 That's a great one.
@@Broteinn The Tyrell Biggs fight was also a good one, Biggs had disrespected Mike in their amateur days and received quite a beating.
@@donbeadling5426 If Tyson would have said no to partying and continued to train hard,I believe he would have never been defeated. But becoming rich so young cannot be easy.
@@Broteinn I agree, when Tyson was focused, motivated, and well conditioned, he would have a good chance to beat any heavyweight in history.
Young Mike was utterly unstoppable
Until he was stoppable, you are right.
Basically he stopped himself. Cus D'Amato said if he stayed committed and dedicated and avoided the distractions he could wind up being the GOAT. Well...the distractions got him...
@Bruce Wayne ok lets see u fight for a title your first fight and see how it turns out
@Bruce Wayne ol Bruce hehe hahaha I'm not joking mostly being me on a bad day is like comfort to someone insane and is ok with the outcome//do yourself a favor and take off that mask
Tyson was a beast before prison, after he was a shell. He wasnt as sharp
Look how young Buffer is. 😊
And how the catch phrase “let’s get ready to rumble” was said so casually!
10:43 Tyson, looks like he may had just a walk in the park rather than a fight tonight 😂
My grandpa worked in the mines with Alderson and was good friends with him.
Anyone that lasts 2 rounds with Tyson without getting brain damage is a Warrior !!
Most likely got some cte but that dosent show till a decade or two later
@@jeremiah3189nope he’d good, I know John Alderson, hes best friends with my boss, President of the United Mine Workers of America Union, Cecil Roberts. They grew up together. I was just with John this week in WV. He’s still 6’6, 250 and in decent shape.
@@jeremiah3189 not from a single bout.
They were always changing Tyson's height lol...he went from 6'0 to 5'10"
That's sports. Basketball players that are supposed to be 6-9 turn out to be 6-6 1/2. I guess the thinking is they will be more revered if they are listed as taller, who knows.
Right. I think they over exaggerate. My personal opinion is he's really in the 5'10 range
😂
@@Dario_Mazzella1975 Well, he's definitely not even close to 6-0.
He's obviously not 6 feet tall
Alderson walking out there looked like such a nice guy and he had no business in the ring with this monster looking short guy. Tyson was truly scary when he was younger.
mike tyson's FB page (i follow) posted some old guy came up to Tyson on the street none other than Alderson he said i was your ..th opponent. He is a tall fat white hair guy now Tyson posted their pic together
@@baturgunl504 Yeah, and he called him by the wrong name.
@@baturgunl504 Isn't it kind of creepy that you follow Mike Tyson on Facebook?
“why don’t you just come back and fight another day okay?” *nods*
The best words he ever heard 😂
You can see Alderson was well coached with the fundamentals, but rather clumsily coordinated with slow excitation. Experience taught him a measure of graceful finesse. I honestly think Mike was just being very professional because Alderson doesn’t exactly exude the character that pisses somebody off. Alderson genuinely looks like a nice guy to be quite honest. It wasn’t that caliber aggression of a fight. You just have those. The people received the good entertainment they came to see.
Alderson was picking Tyson apart. Tyson fought clumsy his whole career and Alderson was skilled enough to make it competitive in a lot of the exchanges
he is nice, he’s my uncle
Alderson was a good boxer he looked clumsy because he's fighting Mike a 19 year old kid no less.
What a fighter, he everything natural balance, power, speed, footwork, willingness to take a punch
6:42 that punch, good god!
The absolute chin on John Alderson is crazy. He walked away from a fight with Mike Tyson on two feet. No one should forget that.
Guy with the moustache can tell his grandkids : I have been into the ring with Iron Mike, and you ? What did you do ?
"Why don't we come back to fight another day"? If I were him I'd say "why don't we not?" LOL!
After he talked to me like a little bitch My pride would have made me say “hell no I’m goin back in to get knocked out like a man”
Frank Capuccino was a legendary official. He’s the ref that let Arturo keep fighting while he was out on his feet.
Frank Cappuccino always seemed like a legit ref
Alderson is truly impressive to make it two rounds against Tyson.
Alderson slaps with his punches, this is like a tank against a Volkswagen
He really regretted staying on his feet after that uppercut... 7:46
That switch cross was on 👉👈 his footwork and speed LEGENDARY the power OF COURSE LEGENDARY as well!!
Top rank needs to upload all his fights
The fact he put the happy birthday out there
D’Amato would be so proud of what Mike accomplished and who he is today. Sad he passed when Mike was young
Was just a 10 yrs old kid back then and didn't really know anything about fighting or Cus D'Amato. But I shared Mike Tyson-fights with my dad and we wondered over how hard he must punch and thought it impressive how fast he won his fights. Now knowing a little more, it is a real treat to see Mike first fight and then give an analysis where he practically explain Cus's defensive teachings. - On making sure that if hit by the opponent, the punches are thrown at an angle where they don't any power behind them. 'They slide off me'. Combined with a punch with the intent to punch through his opponent (inspired by among many others by Bruce Lee)... 🤓
Have to give Alderson some credit... As goofy as Alderson was... He lasted longer than I expected... How the hell could he know he was getting into the ring with a monster.
Gotta be that a tall man is “goofy”…🙄…
@@sec9788 You don't think he was goofy?
@@chrisdriver7776 he was absolutely goofy
He looked liked they picked him up at the local discotheque
These fights were all formalities, he had to work his way up the ropes even though he was way more advanced than most of his early opponents by a landslide, this guy just happened to be a rung in mikes ladder to the belt.
No he wasn't it took Mike years to become advanced or Iron Mike as we know him...Mike is just a kid here his technique wasn't perfect yet.
Love the way the ref laughs at his own surname
Poor Alderson landed one decent body shot in the first round, then proceeded to get beaten thoroughly. This fight was the boxing equivalent of getting blown out 20-1 in a baseball game.
They were both 4-0, but that's where the similarity ends.
That lightening quick left hook, just unloading like a sling shot... scary stuff
Mike Tyson is a Icon
Win or lose I’m sure all of John alderman’s family and friends are proud that their man fought iron mike Tyson
Something he can tell his grandkids if he can still reproduce after this beating. Haha.
With would they be proud? Such a dumb post. 🤣🤣🙉🙉
@@travzimmerman1340 how many people do you know personally that fought Mike Tyson?? I’ll wait…..
@@travzimmerman1340 "With would?" Really? "With would?" And you're giving @Slum Dogg a hard time? Um, okay then. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@joshuaburba1048 I dumbed it down to a level he could understand. Surprised you didn't catch that "Alderman's", Josh.
Fairly decent and gutsy performance by Alderson imho. Obviously he was out of his league in this fight but still gave a pretty good account of himself considering who he was up against here.
Young Mike was So Dangerous hit like A Freight Train 🥊
I lol’ed at the 10:56 freeze frame
Man I suddenly want a cup of coffee
I suspect John never wanted to box seeing as though he came back to the sport after the mines closed. I checked his record and this is his only loss. He KO'ed 6 other opponents.
Respect to both fighters
6:00 awesome convo
Beautiful upload thank you
"John, church is out" Frank knew he didn't have a prayer.
That was just a regular day at the office for Mike.
He must train like hell, bro don’t even look tired😂
Most guys enter the ring to box. Tyson enters the ring to go to war!
Thank God for this
Tyson the can crusher!!!!
I feel bad for Mike. I really don't think he wanted to hurt the poor guy.
Well even the announcer pointed out that in the middle of the second round he asked the ref if he wanted to stop the fight.
TYSON FOREVER A LEGEND 💪🏾
Looks like Mike fighting his English Teacher.
ol' frank cappuccino! i remember he was refereeing a fight and when he was breaking the fighters during a rugged infighting sequence, one of the fighters kept ushering him to the side and frank said, "hey! keep your hands off me, man!" i was a fan ever since.
When 29 year olds looked 45 .
Mike Tyson is like child support, no matter your circumstance, it still comes to collect🕵🏽
Fair play to JA. Great backstory. Place in history.
From the beginning. Mike is dripping with sweat he is warmed up and ready to go. The other guy seems too casual
The other guy bags groceries during the day.
@3:40 Amazing to see young Mike switch from orthodox to southpaw. Effortless.
Most people didn't notice that.
He Looks Like the guy from „Bob‘s Bugers“ 😅
"he's only there to survive" Tyson at the end
The golden ✨️ days of the lion 🦁 Mike
Michael Buffer when " Let's get ready to rumble" was in its infancy...😂😂😂😂
Only his 5th pro fight and it was a relatively light workout really. With that iron chin he could take a good punch unfazed, and the next second deliver a devastating knockout in return. Tyson was awesome in the ring.
Until he fought real competition
Good punch?
Tyson was advanced compared to most of the early opponents.
5:29 he tried to send his head to the stands
2023 here! This brings back some memories!
John Alderson looked like Ned Flanders as he was sitting on the canvas. Also at the end when the doctor says why don't you come back and fight another day.
The doctor handled that perfectly.
John Alderson fought 7 times. His record stands at 6 wins, 5 by KO and this was his only loss. Tyson was also the only fighter of record that Alderson fought.
Tyson looks so polished here ,4 fights he looks like a top 5 contender ready to fight for a title.
@Bruce Wayne Tyson made fast guys look slow , a year later Tyson was preparing for his 1st title fight.Tyson made guys miss he was way more advanced than a guy with 7 fights .Tyson right then ,the day he fought Alderson ,would have given Holmes all he could handle ,Larry looked like he did not know how to throw his punches when he fought. ,Tyson. Alderson was not bad for a 7 fight guy ,he was undefeated.
@Bruce Wayne Tyson is a heavyweight you got one on their Ali who in 70's did not have faster hands than Tyson no way no how ,
@Bruce Wayne he was not born till 66 so hows that happen? your in batman fantasy world
and reflex's have everything to do with age ,thats at 20-23 24 Tyson was hair trigger (thats what Holmes said and admitted he could not beat Tyson in 86 )
@Bruce Wayne Ali was not Ali when he was 20 ,and Tyson would have destroyed him (Clay )when he was 20.Clay was not even close to a title shot when he was 20.
Why is no one talking about how Tyson was measured 6'0???
I was literally just about to comment on this. If the other guy is 6'4, that is at least a 6 inch height difference.
Lol the ref has sone serious warming up moves. Cappuccino lmao!
Mines closed in West Virginia, so Alderson lost his job. Then he returned to boxing... Poor guy. Mike was miles ahead of him in terms of skill and strength and he fought a good, clean fight.
Even the ref's name is legendary
2nd round w a mini Ute 20 left prob 1 of the hardest hits I’ve ever seen in pro boxing
Mike showed him mercy, trust me on this 😕.
You can see him glancing over the referee multiple times, like telling him hey cmon stop this
Alderson went the distance (a complete round)
I think that was the very first tine Jimmy Buffet said that...^ Meaning Let's get ready to rumble "...It became his trade mark ever since ..
Fighiting with a broken nose from round 1 .Respect to both man.
Let's show some GD respect to the 3rd man in the ring you fuq
@@travzimmerman1340 go sit on it lamo🖕
Dam, if Tyson would have perfected that switch hitter style yikes. Never really seen him go left hand for a almost a full round
Man this guy never recovered from that left Tyson caught him with, the whole time while he's moving from that left it's bothering him in the face, he's still feeling the pain from that left
Respect to Alderson.
There’s recent pic of Tyson and Alderson online with the two smiling and arms around each other. Pretty cool thing to see. Alderson was obviously outmatched here but was going against an all time great. Alderson was underrated. All we ever really see of him is him being destroyed by Tyson.
That's pretty cool. I'm gonna look that up. For all bad rap Tyson gets, and obviously a lot of it is self imposed and deserved, he generally did always have a very high level of respect for his opponents. It was only clowns like Mitch Green or somebody that he ever truly seemed to hate in his prime. Obviously the Lennox Lewis and Holyfield stuff happened but I think his whole life was a straight up trainwreck at that point.
@@SimpleManGuitars1973 you’re right. Mike showed a lot of respect for his opponents. There are outliers of course. There’s not a lot of information I could find about him an Alderson. Just a grainy pic. I would love to know the circumstances around. Still very cool.
@@rlm2476 Mike was actually at an event and Alderson happened to be at the same hotel and he walked up and told Mike who he was and they took the pic. Mike put it on his facebook page and talked about how it made his day to run into him.
I’m sure this guys a legend around friends. Poor guy.
Anyone notice that southpaw stance Tyson used ?
Tyson usually gets all the credit but you got to respect his opponents, like this one, to.
Combo fire
Alderson looks like Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite 😂😂😂
Man shout out to Big John got up multiple times against a young phenom!
The ref in the beginning when the introduced him he looked tarafied
