Mike Tyson was previously seen in the boxing ring spitting out pieces of Evander Holyfield’s ear. Forbidden in sport, he was forced to undergo five days of mental research in Massachusetts General Hospital before he could recover the license. “There is no way for these guys to be reasonable,” said Tyson about doctors, “they love to torture the minds of people. They would do great Nazis.” Indeed, the mental health of those who allowed Tyson to enter the ring again, was again questioned when Mike did not act like a man willing to improve vintage harm. Frustrated by Botha and apparently not the Elderly Warrior, Tyson stretched the rules to score a point before he saved his career with his right hand in the fifth round.

Do you know?
Before the philosophical competition, Tyson spoke about Cus d’Amato and the wishes of his deceased mentor. “Cus wanted me to get married at the age of 15 or 16,” said 32 -year -old Tyson. “But if I did it, I would probably kill everyone in my family so far.”

Watch out for: Tyson infamously trying to catch Boty’s arm in Klincz, is unpleasant at extreme. Much more pleasant, for anyone who is not in the Both industry, he is a stunning one -story KO, who reminded everyone why we liked Tyson so much.

Erik Morales blamed on weight and too many “tough fights” for why he lost to Manny Pacquiao in their rematch. This way of thinking of a boxer, especially as cruel and proud as Morales, praising where it is often the most tough in the world. But there was no doubt what the biggest factor was: “Pacman” – approaching his peak years – was brilliant from beginning to end. The Filipino was overtaken by Morales 10 months earlier, but in the continuation he was more calculating and exact when he gradled from Mexico, which clearly tires from the fifth. “Everything is not there,” said Freddie Roach to Pacquiao before 10th. Manny properly finished his work.

Do you know? In the years 2005–2018 Pacquiao won six of the seven fights, in which the slightly spared Super Feather WBC strap was on the line when Marco Antonio Barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez maintained a real WBC bar until the latter lost him with Manny in 2008. What WBC would do for the franchise championships.

Watch out for: Morales’ mind worsens during the fight. At the beginning of the fight, he complains about sore legs. At the end of nine, he uses them to escape from his torturer.

Roberto Duran

January 21, 1978; Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, NV
Roberto Duran is widely considered the largest of all lithe stroller, which is why this malicious beating of venerable Nemesis Esteban Dejeesus in a rubber match can be the best lithe performance so far. “Patience will win the fight,” Durana’s coach Ray Arcel told him before the fight. And so it proved. Duran remained tranquil during bad weighing and at the beginning, when Dejesus threatened the hook that dropped Durana at both previous meetings. Even when Dejesus hurt early, Duran refused to lose peace. Until the fifth Dejesus was bleeding from his mouth. Duran still remained patient, hacking professionally inside the rival, until – in 12th – He chose the right time to let RIP. The right to the jaw dropped Dejesus before the seven -year enlargement ended the fight.

Do you know?
Even at this moment of his career, it was arduous to force Duran to train for a long time, so that his manager Carlos Eleta, told Duran that he had a fight in Panama. Of course, there was no fight for a sultry -up, but thanks to the FIB the Elette we managed to get an additional four weeks of work.

Watch out for: Roberto Duran at his amazing peak.

Children’s socks – “The Wrecker of Champions”

Kid Socks

“The Wrecker of Champions” – when boxing epithets are not bad. The owner of this Sobriquet was a warrior from London East End, called Children’s socks. His career stretched in the years 1922–1934 and received over 200 professionals-on his eyes, but the socks were not a journeyman. At various times of fighting, apart from the title, he defeated the prevailing masters of flying in Europe, Great Britain, France, Belgium and Ireland, as well as the prevailing titles of Bantameight Britain and France.

This was of course in the era of eight widely recognized weights with one world champion in each of them, when the possession of the British title was perhaps similar to the recognition of today’s world crown. The elegant sock record is 107-77-25, but he has never won any title that says a lot about the flies caliber, Bantam and featherweight competing in Great Britain.

The kid was born in 1904 in Bethnal Green, Eastern London. His real name is George Stockings, but he changed it into boxing goals to more suitable socks for children. After boxing as an amateur for the Webbe Institute, the socks changed Pro at the age of 18 and from the very beginning were heavily matched. Some of these early fights were losses, but when he developed “WS” he soon surpassed “LS”.

In March 1924, just 18 months after overturning, the socks faced the future world champion of Bantamweight Teddy Baldock (then 17-0) at the British Boxing headquarters, the National Sporting Club (NSC). “I learned as much on socks as everyone else,” Baldock remembered. “He could adapt me to the speed, but he did not wear a excavation. It was arduous for me to hit him in rinsing … and when the last bell sounded, I returned to my angle fully satisfied that I was beaten for the first time. But the judge did this draw, and my supporters said that I was robbed, but I apologize for the socks.

A year later, socks fought through the best fly authorities in the country. He performed the prevailing British and Europe champion, Elky Clark from Glasgow, in a 12-round non-electual fight in the Royal Albert Hall, and then 10 months later he got the title match with Clark in NSC. Bn He called this “one of the fastest, purest and most arduous battles that one could hope that diminutive men.” But the limit of the 20 rounds against the difficult -striking Scot turned out to be too much for the socks, who as Bn “Assimilation terrible blows with steadfast courage” in the last few rounds have been observed. The kid lasted until 20, when the judge intervened. This and the lost battle for Bantameight Bantamweight in Australia, in 1928, were the only title fights of the socks.

Many other outstanding names organize his record – world champion Panama Al Brown, Victor “Juvenile” Perez and Emile Padner (with whom the socks drew) and the British titles Len Harvey, Nel Tarleton, Kid Pattenden, Dick Corbett, “Spider” Jim Kelly and Johnny Brown British master Bantameight). In 1929, the socks lost 15-year-old to 16-year-old boxing Wonderboy Nipper Pat Daly, who, although the winning one, described the kid as “one of the smartest fighters I met.”

Although diminutive, even for a fly or bantam, socks fought for a featherweight. He was amazing in predicting a rival’s movements, wise with counteracting and extremely quick with legs and fists, but he lacked a harmful blow. Bethnal Green Feather Wwweight Ted Kirkland, whose socks they managed in the 1930s, remembered: “He was nice, caring and put much more in boxing than ever he got out of him. One night he was promoted to Hoxton Baths, he was in the account. The kid died in 1972 at the age of 68.
