Mike Tyson vs Mitch Green - Full Fight - 4-20-1986

Bout Summary:

Mike Tyson pressured Green throughout, delivered some smashing blows to the head and body, and won a unanimous decision at Madison Square Garden. Tyson three times knocked out Green's mouthpiece and shook him with short, devastating punches to the head and roadhouse punches to the body. But Green would not go down and several times fought back with flurries as Tyson left himself open. While there were moments of excitement, the fight before a crowd of 6,529 was marked by a lot of clinching and, in the late rounds, there were choruses of boos. Tyson never had Green in danger except once in the early rounds when he doubled Green up with two right hands to the body. In the third, a left hook knocked Green's mouthpiece out of the ring and then in the fourth another left hook by Tyson not only knocked out Green's mouthpiece but also knocked out a section of bridge work Green was wearing and sent in flying several feet to the ring apron.

"Tie his arms up.. stop him from hitting your face so hard, he's f*cking your sh*t up"😂😂😂

[russelladams]

Anyone who could stand with Tyson for 40 mns = amazing.

[ChrisJohnson-hjhb]

He said he had a hundred men under him looks like he needs a few of them 😂😂😂😂😂

15:09 he knocked out some of his teeth along with the mouth guard 😳 jeezus

[Josharbor]

Say what you want, Green held his own

20:44 is a perfect example of Mike Tyson’s phenomenal defense ! He channeled a bit of Ali in that moment!

Mitch Green took a lot of punishment, but neither he nor his team really had any idea how to keep Tyson off him. It almost feels like they didn’t spar with any peekaboo fighters to prepare Green. Green’s only defense was to clench which wasn’t going to be taken in the judges favor.

[billcollins]

Man alive. How the judges thought Green won any round is Twilight Zone material. Tyson easily won every round.

When a young tyson starts bobbing, its absolutely terrifying

A lot of respect goes out from me to Green. He fought Tyson ten rounds. He was an underdog from the beginning, and went the distance. I sure wish he would have found his distance. But, I promise I couldn't have done any better. Either way... I gotta say I found a bit of love for him. Many blessings. I hope he's doing OK these days. As for Michael as well.

[afrasm]

Mitch has my respect for going thru all that and still standing straight

[levibishop]

Tyson said he could’ve knocked him out in the first round but wanted to hurt hi as much as he could

[gordoncampbell]

Massive fan of Iron Mike . Probably my favourite fight he had .Sadly I missed Dapper Dan`s street fight .

[TBE-RACING]

Anybody who can stand round for round with Tyson (in his prime) like green did, is a genuine tough guy.

[nickpalmer]

just realized this fight took place on 4-20🔥🍀 #ironMikeTyson👑greatest fighter ever lived🕊💯

[yasserali]

20:42 that’s savage from mike 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[jbyesterday]

Too much holding "Blood". Gotta give you credit though for going the distance with "Iron" Mike. I remember this fight in real time because of all the trash talking beforehand, but watching it 3 decades later, it was pretty much over after 3 rounds. Still, I tip my hat to you Blood for showing that N.Y. grit !

[AmericanJohnGrass]

Holy hell, Mitch Green could take a punch!

[sitthapromwasphornsaran]

When the 1st round ended and both fighters walked to their corners, you could pretty much tell who had already won.
