When boxing was boxing.

In the last two weekends, ESPN has been airing a classic replay of the most iconic matches by Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson. I had the privilege of watching the programmes and I was greatly awed by the kind of talent and prowess that these two Americans displayed in their heyday. I never got to watch most of these matches before but I can’t fail to recognise how much these two legends contributed to the game. I was amazed to learn that Tyson won thirteen consecutive matches on knockouts. He became the youngest boxer to win the world heavyweight title at only twenty years. Truly, those were the times when boxing was boxing.

The only true sport

Great sport

Tyson in nowadays a great ganja planter and seller. When are we legalising?

Some states in the US have already legalised

That beating by James Buster Douglas was a world shocker, one of the greatest in sporting history.

Pundits favored Mike Tyson at 140:2, walishangaa sana when Douglas ko’ed him either in the 10th or 11th round…

Why wait for that long when you can watch the events chronologically on YouTube.

That one was not shown

I will be following up on YouTube

It’s sensational. You become a Tyson fanatic as the fights progress.
I remember shouting 'Finish him! Maliza hio ghaseer! As he worked on a guy called Tubbs.
Enjoy!

Yeah…but pia hio fight ilikua tu na uzito kivyake…Coz I think Douglas had already been knocked out in the second or third round. The sport was real back then. The best were fighting the best. Nowadays, boxing ni projects za majamaa za kuunda pesa. I always insist that Wilder and AJ are not good enough…

Unasema Wilder na kuna mjinga anaitwa Mayweather…

Mayweather is the best boxer ever seen. If you want to know him watch his fights since 1999 when he was an absolute pugilist.

Are you serious bro?How can you call Mayweather a joker. He is probably one of the most skilled boxers ever…Zab Judah admitted that the other day.

The best? Really? Nuh.

I agree Mayweather back then when he was a youngie he was the best boxer but in later years…he has shown his shitty side

Which later years. he even did better with people like canelo, cotto etc in his late thirties. Most people like you know of one fight, mayweather vs pacman.

@ChifuMbitika pia watch Julio ceasar Chavez Vs melderick Taylor. That fight was dope it was thunder meets lightening. Chavez KOed Taylor kama fight imebaki 10 seconds.
Another classic was between haggler Vs Hearns. First round wanaume stood toe to toe. Siku hizi boxers are sissy. The only one who could tried in Tyson fury huyu jamaa ni mang’aaa.

Yes. And he backed it up. show me anyone else who had such performance.

What are you saying boss?? I have watched mayweather fights including the De la hoya fight of 2007. I even watched the one where he fought with Shane Johnson in 2010 where he was almost KO’d by Shane but got up real quick…
