Editorial Reviews

A hard-hitting drama based on the life of one of America's greatest Heavyweight Boxing Champions, Mike Tyson. This is the powerfully told rise and fall of a knockout star, from his life of crime as a young man, through his discovery and training by Cus D'Amato to the championship and beyond.

Because it was in VHS I new it would not be of excellent quality. So its pretty good and is serving its purpose. This movie is very good and has a lot great actors in it. It is a really good movie that was very hard to find. Thanks A Million!!

Hey Boys, I'm from Switzerland and me and my uncle used to stay up all night in the 80's when Mike used to finish a fight in the first round. My personal sports and fight hero was Mike Tyson. I hated him. He was an animal. We stayed up all night and he made the show in 2 minutes maximum.
