Mike Tyson: I Cried After Holmes Beat Ali, Beating Homes was Revenge for Ali (Part 6)

--------
In this clip, Mike Tyson speaks about vowing to avenge Muhammad Ali after he was beat by Larry Holmes. Tyson explained that when he watched the fight at 14, he and his first trainer, Cus D'Amato, cried and didn't say a word the whole ride home from the theater. He went on to speak about fighting Holmes in '88, and Mike stated that he thinks Holmes messed up by fighting Tyson as his first post-retirement fight.

Mike tyson is the most humblest monster the world has known and You've got to love this guy

[dostonjones]

Additional facts: Larry Holmes himself cried immediately after beating Ali. Ali was his hero and friend. More facts... Holmes held back and didn't try to hurt Ali. He even asked the referee more than once to stop the fight. Even more facts... Holmes didn't want to take the fight in the first place. But Ali needed and wanted the payday, so Ali demanded that Holmes take the fight as a favor to Ali. And now you have the rest of the story.

Props to Tyson for being honest about the outcome of the match being more sore due to Holmes age and conditioning.

No ones really the “bad guy” in these stories, everyone’s just human at the end of the day

It’s so nice to see Tyson these days. You can tell that he now has peace in his heart. He’s so humble and gracious these days.

You could tell everything Mike say & do is from the heart.

I remember standing in the hallway crying watching the TV in the living room the night Leon Spinks beat Ali, all the old folks were pretty upset. that was 78

Respect and love the Legend when he is still with us. This ain’t no movie or skit, what Mike did in his life is like a Fictional Movie but in Real Life. 🤍
