Mike Tyson plays Mike Tyson's Punch Out for the first time..
if ever more evidence was needed of the damaging effects of boxing on the human brain... here it is.
Those who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters. Compulsory unification of opinion achieves only the unanimity of the graveyard.

Looks like a guy having fun playing video games. I have quite enjoyed the renaissance of Mike Tyson, he's a surprisingly, even shockingly entertaining and intelligent dude on the lecture circuit these days.OrangeDragon wrote:

I hated him in the 80's and 90's when he was boxing.... I liked Evander Holyfield better.
More recently I've watched doco's about his upbringing, his rise in boxing, the death of his mentor and the influence of Don King. I have more sympathy for him now.
Also watching his early fights, he is intense, focused, excellent defensive work and almost robotic in his self control, very rarely throwing a further punch after the knockout blow. So focused on the fight, that after turning away at the knockout, the umpire needs to point him to his corner. He was young guy with a hell of a lot of ability, who had a helluva trainer and mentor, who lost his way in the big time after losing him to soon. He was a different man after prison. When he fought Holyfield you could see fear and doubt in his eyes, but in his prime, I think now, he could have beaten anyone.

Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men.
Here's a very early doco of Cus D'Amato training Tyson as a teenager.

I remember freezing out of fear, just from watching him on the screen back then in the 80's. He still packs a punch if need be, I hear.
I'm sure he can, but his true skill which I didn't appreciate as a kid, and which sadly he lost, was the ability to slip punches and move his body in such a way that he could hit, but not be hit.teamone wrote:I remember freezing out of fear, just from watching him on the screen back then in the 80's.

I think that's the biggest technical reason he crumbled when he fought hard men like Holyfield and Lewis. When punches started landing on him, he stopped thinking about the fight, and started thinking about his pigeons.
