    I just watched this fight, despite his obvious strengths Tyson didn't look all that good if you ask me. Anyone else saw this one?

    OK, I'll bite, as far as I know this fight is almost impossible to get hold of, can I asked how you got a copy?

    He didn't see it because no tape of this fight exists as any serious boxing collector knows. I have about 12,700 fights and I've even spoken back in '95 with one of the guys who used to work with Jim Jacobs: this fight has never been filmed. Period.

    I heard it was filmed, but Tyson was so unimpressive that they made sure the film was scrapped so nobody would ever view it. Don't know if that's true, or that genuinely nobody actually thought to film it.

    Did I say he did it or did I say he threatened to do it?:huhBTW,that bloke is known for possessing rare gems-one of which has recently crept onto sellers' lists which will probably deter him from sharing such material again

    No worries.The guy seems legit,but if there is no footage,there is no footage.

    I'm guessing that would be Miguel Cotto vs Waklimi Young?

    I had this fight LONG ago and still do together with endless other fighter's careers. This was Mike's sixth fight and he didn't look too good but not too bad either for someone rising. I also Have Sims' fight with Shavers.
