right they get called to the center of the Ring let's listen to rigid steel structures in a jet room I'm parsing again obey my commands at all time was any questions shake hands good luck there's the stair we're just about set to go the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world on the line mike is giving away three and a half inches in height he's giving away 10 pounds and wait he's five years younger and he's giving up 11 inches and reached some say he has the same disadvantage as a lion going against the zebra and I'd have to agree let's see how quick he stats crude oil tries to keep him off kunos showing that he's not afraid anyone who knows already tagging with the right hand if Dad goes Berto for the first time in the fight the first right hand that caught him he was down he'll have to take the standing 8-count who knows clear but he knows the power but Mike Tyson place of if ever there was a guy fighting like a Raging Bull it's Mike Tyson Bruno has all a part of England standing farm he had tagged again by right hand he's trying to hang on a night and hit Mike is just looking for an opportunity to cut loose and Richard Steele was Frank Bruno about hae-yeon and hitting Mike Tyson Tyson pummels him on the right hand Mike trying to set him up on the left hand who looks a little wobbly already right hand this is Frank Bruno who knows come and try and mix it up he's hanging on to the head of places the patient's not affected by any of these blows I suggest looking to set his man up he's back on the assault he tries to reach him inside for the short push truck who no ties him up inside here again Richard Steele one franc colonel about hanging on and hitting who knows already been down I said hit with a light left hand doesn't do anything to him I some backup bouncing all the questions about the structures of his facial attack sky hoping hit three rough area in London and to be honest with you a lot of people are thrilled to see this guy making sense on a fight of it what is really coming from the new I know a Frank Bruno and you can see that this has been a point taken away I don't think points would mean anything by the time this fights over the Frank Bruno was trying to make a fight of it he's hanging on and Tyson is certainly getting the best of it he's bleeding from the nose he was down in the very early seconds as Tyson nails over the uppercut now Frank comes very slowly across the ring he knows he's in the bull place it gets nailed with a left hook place it looks wobbly as he attacks Bruno Bruno continues the foe Faison was caught and wobble place it looks clear but he was my son hi Frank Bruno patient trying to fight back and Bruno did catch him with his shot it's the first time I've seen anything like Tyson Stegen I see was definitely sit back in his tracks there inside of 20 seconds are going around Bruno he's got him tied up Mike Tyson doesn't seem to have that fiery look in his eyes right now as he lunges pull the Challenger inside of ten seconds we're going to see so Bruno it down but downward and Bruno tagged Tyson and dinner watch this now and let's see just that what happened it was a short right hand they cut Bruno he was wobbled and then another right hand kind of up over the shoulder caught him off balance and you notice Tyson never stops we there's the short right that isn't in trouble right now he's he's wobbled on his legs and then it's up on the top of the back of the head but he's not hurt here at all and then of course Richard Steele moves in and there's the right hand they cut Tyson and buckle his legs and that's the first time we've seen him in our his Dyson moving in will be interesting to see he's like a wild man in round 2 and it looks like he's ready to be a while the Frank Bruno came to fight surprise Tyson by catching it in the first he's Dale again with that inside right hand GRU no vulnerable to that right hand in toast to get out you throw them back Tyson continues to come in we look continues to hang on when he does we wanted to take time to welcome all our friends to go and Australia New Zealand and people watching all over the world but the fights that so fast is so exciting it's hard to do that but a special hello to Chris my room and and all the brothers and sisters and especially David marks a tradition his sister was also watching in New Zealand welcome New Zealand in Australia people all over Africa the Middle East were thrilled to have you and the Mike Tyson network here Bob shorten bringing this fight to you and hope that you're enjoying the fast pace Frank Bruno gained the fight he was down for just a second in the first round and a chant from me better than 5,000 British subjects that are here cheering foreigner to do something against Tyson Bruno of course has a magnificent body tag with a short crisp right hand in the first round which made us all think well that's what Paul was going to happen but then Bruno suddenly caught Mike Tyson for the shot in the first round Tyson looking for the shot to the body and then to deliver that right hand in the head right now the superior height from the long reach of Frank burrows seems to be working to his advantage but Tyson doesn't get frustrated he just looks at throw the shot who know was able to block that shot that time yeah you see Frank continuing to hold with a left hand behind the head of Mike Tyson left hook to the body pison attacks for the left of his own he catches Brunel with a nice left uppercut this infighting here who knows a very strong guy in himself hoping at his thirty knockouts in 32 wins himself so he can't punch place and mrs. Wilde with a left uppercut so far the big heavy blow who knows been able to escape right hand catches Bruno let's go guru looks ready to go that was what he's going to hang on and he does he has the ring sense and wherewithal to hang on placing knows that he can catch up with Bruno right now Bruno trying to keep him up and a burial member to and here we go with round three a lot of people didn't expect it to go this far effect for the betting public round three is an important round the over-and-under is round three for this fight so if the plate goes beyond round three there'll be a lot of happy people that picked Florida Bach was this is the betting Clampett were let's go and people are interested that around here be people watching around the wall we've seen a better fight than we expected so class we get the idea that Mike Tyson will catch up with Frank Bruno and your hats almost with Franklin hope he can make a good plate of it Frank front of the big almost chisel cut body in such magnificent shape big vicious body shot take it right underneath the hat a frank grown off I said really punished his body with that truck didn't seem to bother Bruno though Gullu is going to stop pouring with that left hand and get a punch off Mike catches him with a good left hook and Bruno has the wherewithal the hell on the one both guys hanging on with the men on the right arm and whaling away with the other hand ice lightning lightning hands looking for the opportunity to land that right hand on the chin of Franklin and again you just have a feeling it's a matter of time and it's not the Tyson's toying with them as it Tyson is looking for the opportunity don't forget Bruno did catch Tyson in the first round with a pretty good shot come on rock to get out right guro has got to throw some heavier stuff though he's powering with the left hand he's going to let the right hand drive he's going to double with that Jam when he's satisfied to do is to kind of hang on to the head and kind of pour at it with his right hand he's gonna try and get off with that right hand better hice it with a short assault nothing there Tyson has a lot of movement where Frank Bruno is just kind of a stand-up guy almost tailor-made the function the time he caught him with a body shot weight advantage that ro has and the reach advantage really is an advantage to Frank Bruno but again you still get the idea that it's a question of time before Mike pitches on there's some real good shots they're not catching flush but nonetheless scoring Mike Tyson is in control of the fight and Bruno if he hopes to win has got to let that right hand thrive who knows ideas a train get this guy inside and as soon as he comes in and hits on hang on there's a little bit more game than Bonecrusher Smith was in his fight no no what no stage inside is going to get tight both hands-free they continue to fight after the Bell Tyson really is a look of millions on his face and he has no intentions of doing anything but trying to control this guy as best he can his vicious looking guy look at him a waiter cannot be Saved by the Bell as the big right hand lands Faison knows he's got him in big trouble if he doesn't answer it Richard Steele has moved in and has stopped the fight don't walk straight in he's waiting now use a lot of sevens for getting to stay inside right stay inside you mean it it's Aaron's snow well working the corner of Mike Tyson don't forget Tyson has a whole new corner Eric's told Jay bright and Taylor Smith Terry lawless and judge Francis the keys all right here we go around for Bob Sheridan here that looks like Bruno could be hurt a bit pison just really bores in like a madman almost Frank has got the staff throwing that right hand Mason is almost measuring him now again this is round for it scheduled for 12:00 a lot of people who didn't think we'd get to the fourth round in his bite oh wait if you just joined us for one reason or another Frank Bruno was down in the first round nope it wasn't a serious knockdown he wasn't wobble that really burned it all and then he laid it caught Mike Tyson and for the first time in his career I saw Pais a little wobbly on his legs but he recovered from that in fine shape and then Richard Steele had to take a point away as well in the first round from Goro bang so it would have been a 10-8 round we've been through and scored 1070 and that puts Tyson way up and Flint in the fight Kuno is caught by a right hand and a left hook Runa comes back in me pitches Tyson right here cut Bruno right on the forehead followed up by the left Bruno has got to throw that right hand more and try to catch Tyson to the left hook come on Pacquiao who seems to be satisfied to let spice and bore in on him and just hold him vicious bunny shot come on keep punching it's bad it's those body shots and Tyson is able to score that is shopping up so many of an opponent before Bruno does not seem to be intimidated his flight plan is to try to frustrate Tyson as much as again by hanging on to him by tying him up when he comes inside like oh another right hand gets room let's go Frank I break right Richard Steele the third man in the ring doing an excellent job considering the style that Bruno's fighting here Brunel again let's nice and come in and again he hangs on very tough fight to referee the way Bruno's fighting it but Tyson doesn't get frustrated he just goes about his business I'm trying to win each round know is such a little bigger figure and then Mike Tyson but Tyson is just so strong his hands is so quick uppercut comes that time we're in the closing seconds now around for villains round number four and the crowd in England loves it now welcome back Brian Kenny back here with you in Brooklyn I'm here at Gleason's Gym for ESPN classics Mike Tyson marathon coming up we'll have the conclusion of 1989's Tyson Bruno won from Las Vegas and in the next hour stay tuned for Tyson's historic title bout against Buster Douglas from Japan's Tokyo Dome and we'll also be checking back in with fern sugar and Tyson's former trainer Teddy Atlas for analysis and anecdotes this is ringside Mike Tyson on ESPN Classic as the rounds go by this man Frank Grillo needs a little bit more confidence all right here we go with round number five and Payson attacks immediately come on part two get on there remember growin when Bruno was doing a pretty good job so on a good portion to fight against me Tim Witherspoon was in the later rounds of you know those big heavy muscles begin to catch up but there's no spices a big strong guy ee no big ego the twelve his last time out against the bugbear Brunel had to go eight rounds before that he won eight against Reggie grows in my bed I sit on the other hand one round is last time out against Michael Spinks and he hasn't fought since June we're in round five an area where many of bouncing observa never thought we'd be those people thought this thing would end in round one or two so Bruno attempting to make a benefit of this and most people thought possible he's lost every round make no mistake about that Richard Steele continues to warn Bruno about hanging on and hitting as you watch the fight I know that your folks watching at home if Mike Tyson is so strong but you almost feel for Bruno he want to see him do well against the champion he draws the right hand and anytime that Frank Bruno does his slightest thing good the crowd here really roars this place seats about eight to nine thousand at the hotel Bruno has cut that time the claisen knows it place is trying to attack now to finish him off judo has the wherewithal to hang on the uppercut comes Tyson gives him room to come off the ropes scores from the uppercut Lancer big right hand who knows in big trouble now he's ready to go he hits him on the right hand we're not trying to hang on as best he can he's still in big trouble the uppercut pinches him the right hand catches him he's really being hit now look coming from the Mo's his are as a puppy placing his punishing Frank Bruno right now who wrote cries to hang on probably what he should do is go down to his knee and take an eight count instead of letting this guy nail him with a flush right hand this is round five remember a fighter cannot be Saved by the Bell as the big right hand lands place and knows he's going to been big trouble if he doesn't answer it Richard Steele has moved in and has stopped the fight it's all over Michael Payson wins on a fifth round TKO it came at 2:55 that's unofficial we'll get that officially they came at 2:55 of the fifth round Mike Tyson he punished and comely bankers Frank Bruno Frank Thank You Bruno did the best he could do thank you big ago but there was no question Mike
