Tyson the new documentary by Nas and company is a definite must see, it received a 10 minute standing ovation at Cannes for goodness sake, even
Medellin didn't get that. Trailer below. As Bill Simmons says, anything involving Mike Tyson is always a must see. (Yet I have yet to see the Hangover) This is all in Tyson's own words, so you spend the first five minutes just trying to figure out his speech impediment. But from there, he hasn't lost it at all. He still talks like he did in his mid 80s heyday. Some of the lines he spits out are pure gold, he legitimately spits hot fire. After viewing I almost got depressed by the sorry state of boxing right now. Iron Mike: now that guy, had it all, he was insane, killer instinct, trash talk, prison time, rough upbringing, battles with drugs & alcohol. In the last ten years, I have not seen somebody close to punching as hard or dancing around the ring as well as him. Lennox Lewis, Klitchitco brothers look like children compared to Tyson. Since boxing is almost dead, I have been watching UFC lately, and boy that stuff is way too brutal. I know this has been said before, but I'll say it again, boxing is like dancing. They move so gracefully, yet hit so violently. And, yeah talk all you want about the lightweights and featherweights, but come on, the heavyweight division is the only one that really counts. I am here sitting here praying for a boxing revival. Who will be the savior of boxing because they sure as hell need one?
