The Night Mike Tyson Almost Fought a Monster

at one time he was like 375 lb he was fighting all the kickboxers solid muscle with abs it's incredible right fight fans welcome back I say ho one minute how would they like me to fight him can I fight him in the Marcus of Queensberry as I said before if we fight in the Marcus of Queensberry I love to fight him tonight the iy say yes I said I'll fight him if you heard the Challenge from Mike Tyson what do you have to say regardless of of whether you considered Fury in ganu as good bad or a complete circus and if I'm wrong me and you will fight straight after yeah yeah man the baddest man on the planet the batt for the baddest the baddest versus the baddest as a concept is something that has attracted a widespread combat audience for Generations sign the contact Big Boy sign the contact so much so that even during the golden generation of heavyweights two worlds would Collide and under very similar circumstances and his opponent across the ring really needing no introduction the world over Mike Tyson the original baddest man on the planet coined during the 80s and90s nearly fought a beast welcome to a motive viia presentation you may meet the right one or the left one sign the contract sign the contract Bad Boy sign the contract big boy when he stepped into the ring you had a watch not just for the raw power but for the Unexplained Behavior do you feel as though you'll be able to intimidate him you've been able to do that with the number of Fighters who you fought well I'm not interested in intimidating him with just a presence alone I'm I prare to put some punishment on him that intimidate him it was a feud dating back two decades ago and whilst it almost reignited in in 2020 but somebody said would you fight this guy for like 40 million or 30 million bucks it was instead Roy Jones Jr that would end up facing Tyson in their nostalgic exhibition bout so Bob sap was the first one that was brought up yeah and from him to somebody else and another guy then MMA then this guy and next thing you know it came down the road I've allowed Mike Tyson to kind of say that he was going to fight me because he was but when he says he has no idea what happened he does know what happened and his family knows what happened and his manager knows what happened and everybody knows what happened back in August of 2003 chaos ensued in Las Vegas following Bob Sap's K1 Road to Redemption Victory against UFC Superstar Kemo Leopoldo he's just raw and he not even really a good raw he's kind of like a storm kind of like a cha iotic storm a controversial fight in itself but all quickly forgotten as boxing's baddest man appeared through the ropes you could see it in Tyson's face when he's staring him down there's this crazy he's following him everywhere he goes like a predator dude after an aura destroying loss to crocop 5 months prior sap needed to prove he was still feared and still Fearless I did not get knocked out and I just went down very slowly that was because once I saw that my vision was impaired I decided to discontinue the fight and what better way of doing so than to confront Combat Sports most dangerous ticking Time Bomb barely flinching as Sap's glove touched his cheek it's probably the most calm and classy Mike Tyson retaliation you'll see iank we can get some short I fight him the night the mark of the Queen B and that's real with the mark of the Queensberry I fight him tonight listen up here they may call you kid Dynamite you mess with me I'll put your fuse out as with a rise smile and that famous quote a verbal agreement set the boxing World a light sign the contract Big Boy sign the contract okay so for one so what it means for as far as Tyson hey I'm the one that brought you out of retirement and I'll put you back [Music] in very few people in their right mind even today would want to annoy Mike Tyson but Bob sap is no regular human being like he has a facial tattoo you got some your face that's right chicken that's right so I'm I'm here to tell everybody Mike Tyson's Chicken nicknamed the Beast for good reason his size power and physical presence had taken Combat Sports by stor what he was 6'5 and weighed roughly 350 lb you can you can really hurt people 320 lb man just with some serious experience to put that in perspective Lesnar and over weighed 263 and 266 respectively back in 2011 for Tyson Fury's first Deontay Wilder rematch he came in at 277 and Nikolai valev the 7 foot giant who fought David Haye back in 200 n was 325 I got a game plan against this big scary Beast I'm going to chop him down I'm going to bring them ties back to Britain no doubt about it paper darts against oh he got it going with a left hook what a finish here hey gets to Bow 375 with abs Jesus yeah Jesus 375 like if you stand next to him you just go wait wait wait wait what in theu are you what are you what is this new type of human being he's so big a former NFL lineman professional wrestler kickboxer actor sap was truly the man of the moment they no longer see me as a human being they see me as the character of the Beast and based out of Japan since 2002 he had quickly gained a large following as his pro wrestling and K1 abilities went hand inand he was an enormous superstar in Japan enormous like it's hard for us to understand like they were selling dolls of him and posters and he huge I'm the most famous in history of this Sports entertainment in history of this in history of this country yes we dox is chasing now finish this fight I hit him with the my weakest punch but it was okay for today thank you very much I got the the final match of K1 Grand Prix in recent years K1 the world's most prestigious kickboxing promotion had shifted their focus towards big muscular men seemingly prioritizing size over skill push the liit with very limited success one of Tyson's former opponents FR Botha had even made an appearance let me say hello to president Nelson Mand I love you my Tyson sends his best regard Mandela we will be there and you're going to see it right there in South Africa when Tyson takes on Francois The White Buffalo I mean that is a mark of a shot fighter when you can't get off punches oh beautiful down goes POA and it's over it's over Mike Tyson I could I did it again so wst kickboxing was never truly on his agenda Mike's well documented money troubles an enormous following and some experience in the WWE 5 years prior made him the perfect Target for Combat Sports latest drama show I would like to see I would have loved to see a guy like Mike Tyson in his prime if they if there was a guy like Rico or some kickboxer who could potentially him up on the way in no chance absolutely no chance then what would motivate people to want to watch this fight if you're saying he's got no chance of beating because I'm fighting just to watch you the attraction to watch Mike Tyson talks have been simmering for a year or so regarding a Tyson sap Collision so it would all tee up nicely for iron mik to be present when K1 next arrived in Vegas tell me about Mike Tyson what is it that you want I want him K1 rules boxing rules or MMA I'm looking for you Mike do you think youve dis you do you think you've let your self down from what you wanted to be in that ring listen um in all actuality if I don't go to the Boxing Hall of Fame for my credentials they shouldn't be a Boxing Hall of Fame by this point Tyson had a handful of losses to his name and whilst he was on a Redemption path of his own the fire much to the denial of his fans was slowly burning out well Mike Tyson's always looked for hero hard thing to find a hero when you have a million dollars because you don't know how to look you look for other people with $2 million and if you have 10 you look for someone with 20 if you have a 100 you look for someone with 200 million Hard to Find Heroes now he's going to have to be his own [Music] hero now to present the battle for heavyweight Supremacy the Golden Era heavyweights were finally starting to bow out Holyfield's days as an elite fighter were numbered as he fell into a three-fight losing streak he's like a an old rollsroyce and the used car a lot fullo Chevys and fors B had been retired for 6 years after struggling with Gat for the second time by left and big right to go in trouble here staggered backwards even the Klitschko regime looked a little shaky with Vladimir being knocked out by Sanders 3 months prior and Vitali being stopped by Lewis in the 6th the week following the Tyson sap confrontation they stop the fight and they're going to declare Lewis the winner they think it was caused by a punch a Crowder an uproar so anyway the referee the referee's lucky he stopped the fight anyway look at the state of his face but this bodyguard you don't touch Mike Tyson and don't think he going to touch you back a year prior Tyson had suffered the same fate in the highest grossing Pay-Per-View event of of all time a night which would ultimately reveal just how much of a step he'd lost you're taking on the most volatile event ever you have Mike Tyson and Mike Tyson is capable of doing anything I want to put my hand through his head in his brain I want him to see I want his brain to come in contact with my fifth a shell of his former self reduced to a one-dimensional head hunter Le following the holy field ping Tyson back leing on Tyson the brooklynite was comprehensively outboxed worn down and then knocked out any long as this fight going this man is dangerous you better get him out of here big right hand from Lewis and Tyson goes down LX Lewis cements his legacy as one of the best heavyweight champions of this era I would say Mike Tyson matured at 19 he was nothing was standing in his way at that time he ruled he ruled the planet at that time and I came along and just ru I'm I'm ruling now real fighter really never retire you know we we hang out to the last moment at least I do you get as much as you can out of your body had Bob sap picked the perfect time whilst Tyson and his declining skill set looked like an easy pick a one round demolition of Clifford edin in his comeback was a heroin reminder my Tyson 225 and 3/4 Tyson looking to end this on one punch Steve so is at yet but he doesn't have that one punch oh right the way Mike Tyson fights that suits M Tyson down to the ground he's 38 years old now so to stand there in front of Mike Tyson have a t with him that's the best thing for Mike Tyson so what if he did what if Bob sap had in fact signed the contract to make one of the most controversial fights of the century yet as we'll see over the next hour Mike Tyson fights on doggedly searching for the light of redemption well haunted by the dark alleys of a past no child ever deserved just like Fury versus inun critics would have loomed large it's a little bit of a good thing for a couple of reasons and a lot of a bad thing for maybe even more but you see the smile on my face I'm watching this I don't care what anyone says but the power and aggression of Tyson paired with the size of sap would have presented an even more bizarre dangerous and intriguing blend if you look at any of these boxes what do I say I think they should get down and dirty and say you know what gloves are coming off I'm older I'm ready to go I'm going to get down and dirty I'm going to do it for real let's go boom bear knuckle it I'm looking forward to fighting I don't know what else to tell you sure you know I know how to fight go there fight and The Clash of characters at faceoffs and press conferences would have been a spectacle in itself I heard him say to Shelley fle then his manager well we sold more tickets didn't we that's how he thinks on paper a 37-year-old Tyson would have been 6 years older 7 in shorter 100 lb lighter and giving up 7 in of reach can you show me why not being as tall as the other guy can be an advantage if you believe that a guy everyone always say this guy has an advantage of 7 in reach Advantage 4 in height Advantage no one ever says he had a 4 in height disadvantage whilst none were quite as heavy as the Beast a younger fresher version of Mike used to enjoy systematically breaking down taller Fighters Mike Tyson is the only heavyweight out there who says I can lick any man in the house and is willing to back it up finding openings with his peek-aboo style and vicious combination punching oh and this world has any chance against this man the likes of scaff sarice Tucker and green we all roughly the same height as sth B left hook this one is over let's talk for just a moment about Mike Tyson he's a guy and everyone has said this including yourself the only person who going to beat Mike Tyson is Mike Tyson come one come all because nobody can get close to me they're not even close I'm the best fighter in the world behind him this crowd Rose as one and gave him a massive Ovation the the the the Tyson phenomenon is still alive at the other end of the scale in Pride 21 one of Bob's first MMA contests was against a man almost half his size Koshi tamura was 5'1 and 190 lb so whilst Mike was substantially more wellb built the size difference here helps us imagine a sap Tyson staredown GL God bless thank you a big Target will he try to make Tyson fight dirty on this occasion despite catching the Giant on the way in tamura was overwhelmed and blasted away in just 11 seconds the fight over the and while sap would have been crazy to rush Mike in the same Reckless fashion realistically it was probably his only hope man that punch I don't think I punch never going nowhere Mike is Mike all mik got to do all Mike got to do land is one all you got to do Land one we've seen plenty of times especially recently that MMA stamina doesn't translate to boxing stamina there's no doubt that Conor's got an excellent chin I have I have a feeling that a lot of this is down to fatigue and so the longer it went and a boxing ring the more it would have played into Mike's hands I don't think I am I would like to think I am for my ego but there's some guys you have to kill them to beat them sap would have one or two rounds at best to try and overwhelm the smaller man and whilst his lack of technique might have made him a slightly trickier customer you would be considerably more stationary than almost all of Mike's opponents meaning openings would be plentiful there's no let up in him he's just unloading everything all body right now and as usual with bad intentions that said Mike would need to land first against a bull rushing 350 lb sap every second spent in the clinch or absorbing any kind of onslaught would have taken its toll while sap took all the physical advantages on paper speed power defense and the ability to take a punch would all swing Mike's way and even at this stage of his career it would be hard to see anything other than a devastating Mike Tyson knockout like a kick from a horse and the first one he throws is a laptop it's going to be stopped it's all over we wondered if he was just talking a good fight we he feared that he'd fall apart but he's rammed the words back down everybody's throat and measured up to everything he said he would do in this fight becoming years would see a drastic decline for both men with the Fear Factor slowly wearing off am I the hunter or the Sap's roller coaster K1 and MMA careers continued for a couple of years before hitting a wall from there he fell into a spiral of embarrassing defeats and media humiliation there are people who think you are throwing these fights that you're coming in to collect a paycheck you're falling to the mat you're pretending to be hurt and if you look at the footage I mean it's hard to argue with them what do you say to those people Mike would also slump to defeats against Danny Williams and then Kevin McBride in 2005 I don't think I have it anymore cuz I'm got the ability to stay in shape but I don't got the fight in guts I don't think anymore two painful nights for Tyson fans and two nights that reminded sap that he probably should have signed the contract after all he left Kevin Rooney he left me he left Steve lot and went over to a man named Don King who got his tentacles into him and from that point on he deteriorated noticeably Arts which is your artistic and entertainment Talent open it up and look at the views look at the attention that's bring about look at what the Beast is doing for the fans it wasn't the first of its kind and certainly not the last and the saudy extravagance of Fury in ganu shows us that the desire and the demand for this kind of fantasy matchup is still alive and well Mike you fight me I will rip your heart out and tear it to [Music] shred
