4.0 out of 5 stars Playing Peek A Boo With Mike Tyson, June 18, 2004

Playing Peek A Boo With Mike Tyson

Mixed feelings here - Tyson and the fights are GREAT - I'm not sure if it's just the copy I have, but the quality of the DVD was poor - i.e. it looked like the fights were transferred from an old VHS tape and on to DVD - somewhat grainy and just not near DVD quality.

The only other negative comment I have is that the fights are edited. It's not the full fights. It's highlights and/or a few minutes of the rounds. I would have preferred the entire rounds unedited.

This is a must have for any Tyson fan. You forget how spectacular Mike was at the beginning of his career. The lightening quick hands, the fluid lateral movement and that hypnotic Peak-A-Boo style!

Iron Mike was and in my opinion still is one of the greatest fighters of all times!

If you're a Tyson fan - you will need this for your collection.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Boxer; Unworthy DVD-Set, November 5, 2004

By 

Tyler - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mike Tyson: Man or Machine, Box Set (DVD)

Tyson may be my favorite boxer to watch. There's nothing quite like the relentless fury and brutal power that a young Mike brought into the ring. And this DVD set does have some of his great bouts. The only problem is, they're not presented in their entirety, or even in a decent picture quality. I suppose edited fights aren't all that bad a thing--if the editing job is done right. This editing job, however, was done oh-so-wrong. Without rhyme or reason, in the middle of a flurry or not, suddenly the video jumps ahead half-a-minute or so, then does it again and again and again. This is pretty much how the entire DVD plays out.

At this price, for the number of bouts listed and on DVD format, you'd think you're getting a great deal. You're not. You'd do yourself a favor by just typing "Mike Tyson Career DVD" into any search engine. There are plenty of independent sites out there that specialize in boxing videos, and though they're most likely more expensive, any of those would probably be a better deal that you'd get buying this set.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Quality, September 18, 2004

By

This review is from: Mike Tyson: Man or Machine, Box Set (DVD)

Poor quality - chopped up clips; not complete matches. Totally dissatisfied with this DVD which was purchased as a birthday gift for my son. We wasted money on this purchase.
