1987-03-07 Mike Tyson vs James Smith (full fight)

this is the main event of the evening 12 rounds of boxing for the unification of the WBC and the WBA heavyweight championships introducing in the red corner fighting out of Magnolia North Carolina weighing in at 233 pounds with a professional record of 19 wins five defeats with 14 Kos ladies and gentlemen here is the WBA heavyweight champion of the world changed Bonecrusher Smith it looks as though he means business by that expression new corner from Catskill New York weighing 219 pounds he is undefeated in his professional career with 28 wins no defeats 26 Kos he is the WPC heavyweight champion of the world Iron Mike Tyson well I tell you you couldn't cut the atmosphere with a knife here it really is building up to an incredible tension the breakdown of the tale of the tape actually Bonecrusher Smith you don't see them bigger than six feet four and sometimes touching a little smaller than five feet eleven an hour but I think maybe that 13 years difference in age could make quite a bit difference here so that's how the rock plows see it but let's get it on shots to referee and it's almost like sitting on Red Alert here waiting for the explosion to happen so we can't afford to blink and I'm sure that these heavyweights can't either so there we go then and a couple of one round wins now Bonecrusher Smith but can he do it against the man is specializes in nothing people over in one round stone difference between them sixteen nine fifteen nine just listen with that right hand they're almost filthy the wind of that at the commentary position right against the ring apron now this is where we know that Mike Tyson chin short to be tested no reasons with respect he's not our man and he real really comes out firing oil he doesn't need Tyson he doesn't want to stand and look at anybody away he can duck and dive they're smart look daddy's actually got more boxing ability than you give him credit for I think well the old Bonecrusher is not coming out throwing the punches as he did with Tim Witherspoon that the desperation made he's in a much better condition arm feels he can bide his time but can he head referee flicking Li the gloves away there to stop them hanging on all our punch-up brought away for not holding back anything I promise you that that was already sampled a few punches to bonk are fulfilling - doesn't seem to disturbed at this point and again there going to hang on for dear life is going to stick to him like a barnacle butter look at it the close quarters while the funk - is hoping look Tyson will punch himself out might be a mistaken tactic because even in the fights that went ten rounds and only two of old from 28 he won countdown for the end of the first and the stare from Tyson and going across the sidewalk this all about a month and really unnecessary that I'm disappointed to see them do that because they're out of the ring I'm not that sort of character but they must have really seen themselves up for this one and now Brees got a job on his hands fighting after the bells what they call going Allinger on them on the pro game Oh good job first that's the end of there you see that thing and a half and they're doing this staring day then it was tossing to just flick that punch out I mean his flicks can hurt no mr. nice-guy in this fight round two and now it's really going to get bad-tempered I suspect well very much untidy just walked a little bit of blood away from his eye there I think bone crusher and I'm not surprised at all the been bugging and boring a scene like that I think that's why Carson's getting mad at anybody isn't holding on a bit of clothes bro anything about quite a bit and he takes a bit of shoving off when he found the target for that one he's been missing a bit with them toss him to the left hook came through but it really is grabbing for dear life is going to do something about this I'm sure and he's telling him at neutral corner and he's taking a point away for holding the slip well I don't think it's going to go to points anyway I'm sure it isn't and there's not too much Marquess of Queensbury rules about them so I think no part or rules at the gates in here in this Vegas and he has cut around the left eyes I thought he was it just worsened since I first mentioned it at the start of the second bone crusher so he's got to get a bit desperate now it's amazingly fun crush it says oh it doesn't really want to be in there this guy's it's really incredible because he's only really started to make the big money we became known really in the fire game when he managed to win in the last round against Frank Bruno in London and I just he just can't keep this up to person if I tore off that seems to be the problem now he's trying to use the Raven surprise you didn't do that earlier as we get the countdown for the and some booing coming from the crowd I said that he's hoping the left are some punches over us a mistake and he wants to go on fighting this is really bad I can't understand why they're doing this to discipline professionals and Tyson's trainer Kevin Rooney saying sit down sit down and the sign there in bug crosses corner not that so the doctor I will be look at also there it is crusher and you can hear in your dress it's there they which given former world champion come on you've got to move your hands now let's have a look at some replay there now it's all Tyson crowded in and it's Bank Russia hanging on for the most part one colossal go one two that's a boxing balance for the left hand followed by the straight right but at 33 is it's looking older by the minute as we come out for round three and he's going to have trouble with that cut over the left article having quite scorched it in the corner there between rounds that right hand got through now Dawson's really really get mad at bankruptcy by hanging on him and you don't get disqualified in America unless it's really is persistent fouling don't wait entices corner let punches go and he's welcome the blood away from his either spent I tell you the question on this face now Smith is sort of nobody knows the trouble I've seen and there's grimaced in the whole time notice that well I can understand the reason to char the nullify its own personal close quarters but not as greatly as that it is a game you see and the referee really having to work harder than the fighters at times know is try to unleash some punches though this bracelet is starting to set in in the third go Oh and since talking to the referee that press was compiling about something probably the White House's head was coming in there it's arson I think we prefer bomb trustee to open up with him he stopped writing pungent but he won't do it we're not going to go in again I hope it's a pity they don't fight harder during the rounds that are waiting until the bell goes not bad bad they sound in the corner there to the Nevada State Commission doctor and the supervisor in charge here for this bodies rape law from England there Kevin Looney calling for Mike Tyson to use his jab more but no question Tyson ahead because Bonecrusher just hasn't won enough coming up for the 4th then there's been quite a lot of betting on how many rounds this would go so I think quite a few people here of as I say done their money it looks so dangerous when he throws that long right hand to Bonecrusher Smith but it just missed the target again well you know sometimes heavy weights can come apart overnight in this game the tick we're gonna get past the Great Divide the age of 30 I'm just wondering whether this could have happened to bone crusher because he's just not throwing the effective punches that we've seen in certainly in the Witherspoon fight and Mike Weaver who knocked out in one wrong but they're all assigned in the Tyson camp that this fellow Mike's intimidates his opponent I think he's done it here well a clean finish for that one alone tyson was still giving him the stare as if if you want to go on without the break it's okay by me oh I see so we're going to get a little bit of tops of the older dressed rumors get us now yes for them they're from issues of the elbow toxins so that's when I get the impression giving him the elbow the one thing 4/5 trying to the part humming got to see roadwork the referee is going to do something about that well the Smiths got any ideas that Tyson won't stay the course will fall apart that's a mistake because he said we're not working him harder to do that well the time in his amateur career and tossing don't matter in the ring and got the skully fight for it and there stood out in our singing certainly a championship fight whether going at it off to the Bell like this she starts in my face you scratched me you know he said they're fit to the left or you'll scratch it right to get some grease offers by sexy cigarettes into the second and that's another one I've never heard of in this boat round seven Oh as possibly the best parts are taken in seven rounds to cut through and he started to laugh tough decisions can be hit on the children laughs I tell you the tide almost creep inside in there didn't he got on the defense and then throw the shot I want to know who's going to stay the course better of the two because I'm to get the Frank Bruno was winning quite easily at Wendy sort of ran out of gas and ran into a punch and Bruno Smith won in the last round in the tongue but this one should go for 12 blood shine again now rounds in this place well that was almost hit him on the floor now and he fell across his feet there was no knockdown only adds to the tension in the needle if it doesn't just correctness it's been there from the start now he's standing on trading sment this is what we've been waiting for that's the best round for Smith the end they really clobbered him at the finish but he took the punch well Tyson have a look at some replay now that one got inside and you see that slip you see fell over and just as well you missed him with that punch so just it's just Twila wrong house it was muttered he can but fell across these lakes there Tyson it was more embarrassed than hurt pop folded unsealed back in again there only protection allowed above the waistline in bottom four round eight at the end of the 7th their unconsciousness really unloaded some dangerous looking punches as this is really what he's been trying to do from the start or not if we're at the ready to fight rumbly in that sense that he was gone of just any sexual but maybe he was hoping to wear Tyson down he's better to do go simply hasn't done enough early on his way behind calling out numbers in Tyson's Corner their plan numbers whatever that is for the practice punches that they want him Harlow other like a quarter by calling for the team in football here that was more like it but it still didn't rocks with I called him brightness supply he's trying to physically part on the whole time in the day there is a really hard working there were these sheriff's clubs but it Oh spectacular cameras clipped at that point so another point really he's got no chance now he's got a knock Tyson up Oh Jeff round nine and Mike Tyson undeniably well ahead as particularly as twice the referees taken points away from Smith for holding what it matters the three knockdown rule is in effect which if one boxer go down three times and around it's automatically over as it was with Bonecrusher against Tim Witherspoon it's a combination of the Boxing Council and boxing association who was on this one passions not the sort of fighter that is ever satisfied a wedding on points even if it's clearly had to do that twice in 28 fights fact his top jose ribalta in the last round but it's now up to Tyson to track him down and cut the ring side down cut the climbers off a bit when he's doing that so proud now jeering Smith and understandably so quite expectation to that one but really it was only half a punch it looked better than it was yeah expectations of corkulous Tyson to set his own standards by knocking people out got disappointed but if him welcome to terror it's any second he can do it it's just shown up the end experience a bit of caution here so very much is stalled literally not here with a personalities around the ringside in the famous rocky Stallone to Muhammad Ali to film actors though you just have some Jenna's paper I'm not come back drove up onto the handle own comfort level the tenth round scheduled for 12 this unification of the heavyweight championship of the world Mike Tyson well ahead but Bonecrusher just showing up some of the limitations with the young terror the fasiqun draw smith into a fight into just standing there with him he's got more chance of landing is famous knockout punch Oh six pounds heavier smith from when he fought Frank Bruno back in 84 the county then we tense round you I don't know only these seconds in his first corner to keep that left eye injury starts okay early on that just might worsen alert me and have to be stuck but it would have been a pity this well we're certainly seeing a tarsal extended anyway that's the first over when this round it'll be totally new territory for tossin too many completed ten rounds twice he's still running with a full head of steam they're tight I'm sure of that anyway just can't get through the long arms and the sheer physical size of this land get the fighting with Bonecrusher side well I might not be the best heavyweight champion if you sit around belonging to spoil it fellows who think they are get around when I'm crazy came to write the book to Valley Ranch at for Quran eleventh round his familiar sort of for other budgets of nervous twitch for the habit that Tyson hazard twitching his head and he said to the seconds I feel great so he's not worried about coming to the eleventh round for the first time in his career at this pace he could fight all night including between rounds and they've yelled in the Crushers corner there they use the left hook to the body forget the right hand in old references from tallien but I'm not sure that's a good tactic at all I wouldn't have thought punches to the body would worry Tyson we built like a freight train and he comes straight ahead on rails at you well tried it there but it was just it was until the body was just below the chin haha knowledge the corner there Tyson took his eyes off the opponent all the wet whiskey through those with low 3011 breeze taking a chance when he gets in between him there he really could catch a blow that's why should be falling bright really you ah so it's awesome he must have heard what they were saying in crisis corner he used the left hook to the body instead there that's really a little bit of time wasting all the way there with bone crushing just it just hasn't got the fitness of the youth anymore to be honest that's probably it didn't start so professional boxing until he was 28 number of people sightings first the bubble button in many nice patches for a very awkward opponent and you can't leave much clearer than he's been winning and he's absorbed punch as well twelfth and final round them of this heavyweight championship and Tyson rather reciprocate seem to me what is a touch gloves the old formality I said before a bit like the dentist and a nice feather on the way in before he was about to perform so can either one of them really pull off up to Big Finish it's been known of course many times in the fight game well saturated with water it's quite nippy here now and this time of night in the desert of Las Vegas really as immensely fit Tyson that's for sure because he still got a lot of spring in his legs it hasn't been on the receiving end that much worse oh I'm not surprised that he's still full of running from the last round afraid of school by the way one Mexican Guardian - from Nevada shoulder head shakin and the smiling from Smith as if to say well they said you were phenomenal puncher but you have it now idli when you think of toxins background he hasn't done too badly for a fellow with good learning his business had a gross five million dollars before this fight this jeering coming in the last round I think they wanted to see them really have a goal and particularly Smith jobs for Tyson Tyson Tyson now from the crowd and it's hard to fight a man who doesn't want to fight for the full three minutes of every round so there's the countdown clock on a little bit of play-acting the house in Smith which is going to say well I'm satisfied to a stayed the course with you and that was a hog on a drum Smith and he recognized it and I think Tyson dates and this was kick-started after the Bell and he saved almost in the last 10 seconds he's best punching a fight I thought Bonecrusher Smith and now they've at least the old gladiators have brought a smile now finished up mates and made a lot of money together and got rid of all that tension and hate that seems to have been shown all the way through the formality surely now the judges cards for Tyson to have to go the full 12 rounds guru in his first 12 round fight and there's the cut you can see over Smith there but they did world a patch up here is the decision of the judges judge lute average score 120 106 off what a big score that is edge Jojo Garros score every round at us 119 107 so I lost one gentleman charlie scores 119 lost one in the header for the new well a runaway points victory then is that for Mike Tyson mate - so he stood up to be the arm man for not going off his feet there's a certain amount of disappointment but Mike Tyson then retain it is unbeaten record and now the undisputed champion of the world because Mike Spinks no longer holds the IBF version well he won it but it was not the menacing fighter were used to seeing he looked a very frustrated young man now he's supposed to go through with a mandatory defense against the number one WB a contender taro Biggs on the 30th of May Biggs fought here tonight it was a very dramatic fight against David Bey he wanted but he sustained a badly cut eye so that may dates may be in doubt but it is expected that the climax of the unification series will be achieved in July now we're going to show you that tario big fight in a doubleheader next Saturday afternoon with the encounter between Sylvester MIDI and Coco Lang the vacant British one away type of see you then from all of us here in Las Vegas good bye you you
