Mike Tyson mocks Mitch Green, 1986

Little clip of Mike Tyson revealing a disturbing part of himself as he mocks and leers at Mitch Green during their fight at Madison Square Garden in 1986.

Tyson was 19 years old in this fight, not yet world champion. He was guaranteed $250,000 for the fight, while Green received only $30K, even though Green was ranked higher than Tyson. The fight went the distance - 10 rounds - and Tyson failed to drop Green at any point, amazingly. The decision was totally lopsided, with Tyson receiving scores like 9 to 1 and 8 to 2.

Tyson and Green ran into each other a couple of years later and got into a fistfight. Tyson broke Green's orbital bone, and broke his own hand, which forced him to delay his fight against Frank Bruno.
