    Ribalta gave young Tyson a good test

    nearly made the distance

    fight was actually unjustly stopped, they robbed him of going the distance...but yea riblata was a big giant strong dude and tyson was 19 years old

    Any time Tyson didn't get a KO within six, it was a massive struggle. Even in lopsided decision wins. ;)

    Ribalta later said he was surprised how average tysons power was, and yes it was another bull**** tyson "stoppage" just like razaor ruddock 1.

    The ribalta fight was an indicator of how easily tyson would get exposed later on

    :patsch

    Ribalta was badly hurt in that fight , the referee did do the right thing to stop it . why would you expose a boxer to even more punishment ? did you ever box ? i don,t think so....

    Yeah, sure. Watching tyson batter a 6.5" guy round the ring, dropPing him 3 times before stopping him exposed the **** out of him.

    Tyson probably did win every round, but not easily. (perhaps you are blind, or YDKSAB) By the eighth round, he was visibly fatigued. He was also missing with a lot of his punches, and changed his attack plan several times trying to land a fight-ending blow. Extremely unusual for a young Tyson, to put it mildly.

    So yes, he had to struggle to win this fight. I can't help you with your comprehension skills. Sorry.
