Short Video. Tyson Sparing "Truth" Williams

I really wish Greg had been dedicated in his career, instead of wasting himself on drugs. I do find it disturbing that a Past-Prime Page was landing flush righthands as easily as Douglas though. Then again, Past-Prime Berbick was repeatedly tagging Tyson flush too, in sparring for that fateful night in Tokyo. I just wish video footage existed of the Berbick sparring, & there was more footage of the Page sparring.

I agree, Tyson looks absolutely awful in the '89 clip.

I'm not convinced the third clip is Jesse either, but the guy who uploaded it to youtube made the labelling vague & unclear, double click on the video to see what i mean. Who do you think it might be instead? :think

 

His description says ...

1) 1990 sparring with Greg Page before Douglas fight
2) 1989 sparring with Jesse Ferguson before Bruno I fight
3) ....
4) 1983 sparring with Carl Williams


So I guess he's not sure who it is either.
I really don't know who it is, but the physique and esp. the style & bit of backpedalling footwork, lookd all wrong for Ferguson.

 

I don't know if Page's problems were even drug-related (as Tubbs and Biggs and Dokes etc. had) ..... I think with Page it was just a case of him not having much love for the sport of boxing (he wanted to be a basketballer), and that increased as his pro career went on.

 

I agree, it's just i thought the "........" meant Ferguson again.

Plus i posted the video before watching it.

 

Oh, i thought he was another '80s cocaine-addict. Interesting that Greg wanted to be a basketballer, did his dad force him into boxing?

 

Yeah, that's the story I heard. Seems plausible.

 

Now we're gonna be wondering who it is.

 

Must've been Harry Greb.

 

Who is Tyson sparring with here?

Also, who is Tyson sparring with here, at 3:40-4:25? (Tyrell Biggs?)

Tyson's big ass is jiggling in the 1989 footage with Jesse Ferguson. :happy I wonder why he was wearing those black panties? His booty buns were hanging out of those shorts. Sexy.

 

In the first video?

Looks like McCall in the 2nd video!?!?

Edit: it's not McCall.

I have no clue...

Edit again: Looks like McCall, actually.

 

Upon watching it again, i think you might be right, he does facially look more like McCall than Biggs. That footage is sparring for the Tubbs fight, i wish i could find footage of Tyson struggling badly with McCall, when sparring for the Douglas fight.

 

There's a guy on youtube, StevenR74, who has a bunch of Tyson sparring footage. Nothing we haven't seen already but it wouldn't hurt to ask if he knows anything about Berbick and McCall before Tokyo.
