I was at that fight. It was unplanned. We happened to be partying that weekend in AC and found out about the fight. We paid $500 for crappy balcony seats the day of the fight. The sound of that knockout was clear and loud from where I was sitting. I was in shock that you could hear that from so far away. Mike was definitely one of the greatest punchers of all time. I also remember a guy that had paid $1K for front row. He went to buy a hotdog and missed the whole fight. LoL

The last moment where Marvis talks about his father was pretty beautiful. You can tell he had love for him and admired him

Marcus Frazier is a legend. "Standing in the shadow of Joe Frazier, to me it was like standing in the light.” Man, I have so much respect for that statement right there.

19-2 as a professional boxer while fighting legitimate contenders is something to be very proud of.

Anyone else binge watching Tyson fights. It's pure entertainment

Frazier’s son only lost to Mike Tyson and Larry Holmes top of the greatest heavyweights ever. Absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, he did amazing compared to most great athletes kids

There's a few athletes that will never be duplicated and Tyson is definitely in that group!

being brave isn't enough. Stepping into the ring with Mike Tyson in those years was real bravery. Tyson was an absolute machine. Amazing fighter

19-2, only losing to 2 legendary boxers? That's a damn impressive career.

I absolutely admire the heck out of Tyson. Every punch was calculated. He never threw wild punches. He was an amazing boxer. 💯

Any man brave enough to step into a ring with Tyson 1986-1990 deserves respect

“Standing in the shadow of Joe Frazier, to me it was like standing in the light.” That is genuinely the most beautiful sentiment I have ever heard a son say about his father. Maybe instead of a boxer, he should have been a poet.

Even though Tyson had his issues back then, to say wise words like "if my trainer and coach think I'm ready, then I will fight" instead of being big headed. Really says alot.

"I never felt like I was standing in his shadow, I was standing in the light; my father was Smokin Joe Frazier." Paraphrased. That statement demonstrates an incredible perspective and humility.

Joe was indeed a legendary boxer,what his son said was absolutely nice and full of respect ( towards Joe.)

Marvis Frazier had a very respectable career. He suffered terrible ko losses but he was in the ring with legitimate heavyweights and that's very difficult to do. His dad had more heart than anyone and was an all time great and Marvis showed the heart of a champ but came up short.

I find it incredible how mature Tyson was physically and mentally at 19, you can tell that his confidence came from how hard he worked, it never came off as cocky imo.. what an absolute legend. The precision, speed and the power is really astonishing.

People are missing the fact that Tyson had so much confidence and trust in his trainers that if they sent him into the ring he knew he would win. That’s a bond

I’m impressed with Joes sons attitude and outlook on being his son. Positive guy and that’s just as impressive or more than being a boxing champion

Joe Frazier is older than his son only for 16 years and 9 months. Imagine becoming a father at that age. Back then, people matured way earlier than nowadays.

I love how aggressive Tyson was. He wasn’t just throwing wild punches around. He put all of his body and mind into each and every punch, and he could deliver them SO FAST. He knocked Frazier out cold with one blow and had already punched him in the face 3 more times by the time Frazier actually hit the ground.

Tyson in his prime was so insanely ripped, what a beast, glad he found himself in the present while still having such a legendary past

Touching what Marvis said about his dad in the interview, that makes him a champion to me.👍🏾🙏🏾

A true Son never forgets his father's legacy. Hats off to you sir!

Mike was surprisingly articulate, all of his post fight interviews were almost poetic

This guy knocked his opponent out and continued knocking him out. Mike is a boxing icon .

5:30 Even in the adrenaline rush of the moment, Tyson still has the presence of mind and I believe the wisdom to say he follows the advice of his manager and trainer.

Marvis is such a humble guy and to even attempt to equal or even surpass his fathers legacy is commendable and respectful!! Great job Marvis!!

At 0:58 "It's very difficult, with a kid who throws hydrogen bombs." This is the most aptly description for Tyson's power I've ever seen.

The way Muhammad, who was Mike's hero, asked Mike to get revenge on Joe was so beautiful. Like father and son.

Mike is a national treasure. I wish more people would acknowledge this

The way Mike delivers those knockouts while being hit in the face, no reaction. Priceless. Literally stone faced!

I love how aggressive Tyson was. He wasn’t just throwing wild punches around. He put all of his body and mind into each and every punch, and he could deliver them SO FAST.

Sad to know I wasn't alive during this man's prime. Mike Tyson was an animal, he had speed, accuracy, power, aggressiveness to make all of his fights entertaining

That fight against Joe Frazier's son, you could hear the impact 🤧🥴🤯. Mike Tyson's punches are *BRUTAL* 🥊😵😴

That’s really cool that Marvin is proud of his father. It doesn’t seem like it’s something that haunts him or was forced into.

I'm not in the shadow Joe Frazier, I'm in the light. Beautiful sentiment and absolutely true. Marvis had a great career by any measure. Lots of wins and his only two losses came from two hall of famers. He should be proud of his dad, and himself.

1:27- that dude went flying 🕊️💸

He knocked him unconscious, conscious, and unconscious in one combo. Damn.

Imagine being knocked out by Tyson but instead of dropping to the floor you freeze up standing then fall in slow motion giving Tyson the chance to land 5 extra knock out blows ...

Tyson was given with insane power, jaw, speed and a desire to win. Being a heavyweight is not as easy as it seems, you must have a talent otherwise it is nearly impossible to win no matter how hard you train. Respect to Marvis 19-2 in the times with the most powerful and eager contenders. Fighting guys like Tyson and Holmes is not an easy task.

This was the scariest I've ever seen a human. Mike literally hit him three times while he was unconscious standing up before he could even hit the floor and all three shots would knock most people out seperately

one of the most terrifying and beautiful knockouts..in all of fight sports history...

Kudos to Marvis for knowing when to hang up the gloves. Too many children of famous athletes, actors, etc think that because of their famous parents, they've got the skills too. It's almost never the case and Marvis went out with an exceptional record and dignity.

When Mike humbly and calmly said he was the best fighter in the world, I believed him. There were days, months, maybe longer periods of time that Tyson was the baddest man on the planet.

Much respect for Marvis, he fought the scariest and most brutal fighter during this era. He has NOTHING to be ashamed about, on the contrary.

I'm glad the Fraziers have a healthy loving relationship, and that Marvin doesn't feel overshadowed by his father's legacy. And my god, Mike Tysons boxing is gorgeous, beautiful head movement as always and uppercuts to the moon!

I remember watching this fight. All the announcers seemed to talk about before the fight was the relationship between Joe and Marvis. When they finally got around to mentioning Tyson it was like, "oh yeah, Marvis's opponent is one of the hot young heavyweight prospects. Somebody called Mike Tyson." I had never seen somebody get destroyed like that in a boxing match. By the end the only thing holding Frazier up were the ropes and Tyson's fists.

“If he doesn’t die, it doesn’t count. If he’s not dead, it doesn’t count”. Mike was an animal in his prime.

Joe Frazier will always be one of the greatest.....and it looks like he was a good dad too. Probably my favorite fighter and boxing personality ever. Humble, tough and no nonsense or trashtalk.

Tyson paces around like a tiger. Chilling

It’s crazy to see the respect that Tyson shows towards his trainers and coaches. Most people with egos like his lose all respect for authority.

One of the most terrifying knockouts in boxing history.

Great video..always! Love your narrative style and editing.

I love seeing focus and determination at that phenomenal level.

I feel bad for Joe Frazier, he had to watch his son get destroyed by a prime Mike tyson.

“My dad is Smokin Joe Frazier.” Man I wish I could say that.

Marvis is a great guy, an humble and gentleman, he earned 2 millions in his career. Well Done!

I love those historic boxing videos about Mike Tyson, thanks!

On that right uppercut he literally lifted him off the ground. His left foot goes up in the air as his head tilted all the way back. Mike was a beast!

Man Marvis has such a healthy and positive outlook on things. That's a VERY admirable quality, much more so than boxing skills IMO...

The speed of a welterweight .. with the power of a super heavyweight .. guy was unreal.

I love Marvis and Joe's relationship so much. It sounded like the really loved each other.

6:11 Amazing to have Marvis Frazier's perspective that he was never standing in the shadow of his father Joe, it shows the love and respect he had for his father and allowed him to live very proud of his own achievements

As each year goes by I think more and more people realise how great Tyson actually was.

Nobody Beats Prime Mike Tyson. He was Freaking Killer 💯👊🏽🥊

I have a lot of respect for Marvis, he went into those fights with heart and gave it his all 💯

The sound Mike Tyson’s punches make is like no other professional boxer when he makes contact with his opponent, it has a sweet precise sound like witnessing the perfect golf swing. It’s a thing of beauty.

Mad respect to Marvis, a career to be proud of for sure.

That last little clip of Marvis was awesome.

Right uppercut, jab to the face, right hook and left hook for goodnight. That speed was incredible and I literally had to slow it down to 0,25 to see the combo. Iron Mike is an instinctual beast. There's no though, just action and reaction.

I feel for Frazier’s son. I’d be thinking-I didn’t beat Ali, why are you pissed off at me? An enraged Tyson at that point in his career is terrifying. I don’t care what Frazier said about his dad being in his corner and that he can’t lose, you’d be very intimidated even if you try your best to not show that on the outside. Scary as F!!!

There's no shame in taking a loss to one of the all time greats.

A man that respects his father is a man worth respecting

Thank you bro

Tyson one of the few special/terrifying fighters who could hit another fighter so fast and hard you honestly think he killed him.

I replayed the fight so many times. The sound of those punches are insane. Could knock a man's head clean off, credit to Marvis for keeping his.

Amazing perspective from Frazier at the end. He knows hes lucky to have the support and father he did.

"I'll fight anybody that my trainer puts me in with, because I'm confident that I can beat any fighter in the world". Ladies and gentlemen, Iron Mike Tyson 💪🏿

1:36 look at that movement. That's fucking unreal. Like a choreographed scene from a movie, but it's all instinct and reflex. Mike was easily one of the best boxers ever. No question.

What a lovely quote “standing in the light.” That’s a great way of looking at it. His father was, and still is a legend.

The guys a bulldawg !!! Since day one Glad he still has something to prove 💪💯

I'm from the Philippines watching back a true fighter boxer mike tyson.

4:37 That guy in the stands having the time of his life witnessing history!

Anyone can knock anyone out in a fight. There’s been some hard hitting boxers through the years like George Foreman. I never saw anyone hit like Mike Tyson could, especially with either hand. He’s the most impressive slugger I’ve ever seen climb in the ring.

Tyson is the perfect example of unmitigated violence personified.🔥 🔥

Marvis is a great man in spite of his losses. Few men would still be as articulate after surviving those shots from world champions.

Tyson in his prime was just magical brutality.

I'll say this as a boxing trainer, it never hurts to take time developing a fighter, especially if they have youth on their side. As a trainer it's my duty to instill confidence and self-belief in my charge. He has to have the unshakable belief that he can beat his opponent whoever he is in that moment. Jim Jacobs and Bill Cayton knew exactly what they were doing managing Tyson. Tyson only had 17 amateur fights before turning to the pro ranks. They had the money and clout to be able to secure him the "safe" opponents to build his record and confidence to eventually beat the top dogs, and it worked! The problem why contemporary fighters who appear to have all the tools don't succeed is that the investors in those fighters are looking for as quick a return on their investment. It's all financially driven.

Love Marvis' attitude. Just seems like a great guy.

The last lines were beautiful... Great respect

Still can’t get over his voice and the fact that he can knock anyones head off . 😂😂😳

Mike was always an open wound. The ring is where he tried to heal. When Frazier's guided life and loving relationship with his father invaded Mike's world, it kept spilling salt on that open wound. Every second it continued was unbearable and disrespectful pain for Mike. Questions every person without a loving parent asks, kept coming up. Unanswered questions. Questions you bury by winning in Life and just forget. Frazier had to just rub it in my face. Making my FIGHT his personal f$% diary. Showcasing some ideal fairy tale about family. I earned mine, by myself. In hell, through pain, blood, and sweat everyday since I was born. You'll never know what it's about or what it's like inside but I'll give you a glimpse with my BEASTMODE! Mike is my Hero! Love the man, the legend, and his continued triumphs against all odds.

Excellent work.

Sad to know the fact that Tyson was the best Heavyweight Boxer in the world at such a young age, but after he won the world titel, he fell of because several of his role models that kept him on the right path, passed away. He got caught up in the wrong crowd, surrounded by yesmen, and he just never fought like his young self ever again. He was still better then most other Boxers, even when he was barely trying, which is the sickest part imo

Mike was just sending his opponents into early retirement one after another! These are the best boxing edits on KZfaq!

How Frasier he described his father as the light and not a shadow was so beautiful 💙💫

Mike has always had a knack for using really appropriate statements and at the right time. One of the things that make him legendary.

Bro the faces Tyson was making while putting his mouthpiece in would've made me instantly throw in the towel 😭

Tyson in his prime was the best Heavyweight and Roy Jones Jr in his weight division was exceptional during that period in time, Smokin Joe’s son can always say I had the testicular fortitude to lace up and face off against Iron Mike 👊
