Speaker A
he became more mothering the most ruthless version of Mike Tyson straight out [music] of prison.
Speaker A
Up-and-coming boxer Peter McNeeley was the first to stand in the way of newly freed Iron Mike and brazenly let his tongue loose. I'm Hurricane Peter McNeeley from Medford, Mass. ON SATURDAY NIGHT, WATCH ME KICK TYSON'S ASS. Mike Tyson
Speaker A
[screaming] Finally, the day of legalized homicide for Tyson was there in the moment. [cheering] McNeeley unsuccessfully attempted to try and hide the damage by walking it off.
Speaker A
[cheering] But there is simply no covenant between men and lion. [music] From now it was a death sentence.
Speaker A
Realizing Tyson's ill intentions, the [music] cornerman jumped in to save his protege. What did you personally think of this stoppage?
Speaker A
Well, he eventually would have got hurt. As you know, I'm I'm a blood man. I like to finish it.
Speaker A
Next in line was Frank the bodybuilder Bruno. A powerhouse, as rumors had it. He had secretly undergone a procedure to replace his hands with torpedoes.
Speaker A
I commend you. You came up very well and I'm very impressed. Thank you very much.
Speaker A
I think you're a great man. Thank you. Same to you, Mike. Bruno and Mike were old sparring partners and also buddies outside the gym. Nevertheless, sensing Tyson's at his weakest, Bruno's attitude changed in an instant.

Speaker A
Meanwhile, betrayed Tyson decided to keep it to himself until the fight. [music] But I can't wait for the fight. I wish the fight was tomorrow. But I don't want to get I do, too.
Speaker A
We would take it out of the calm. I'm just looking forward to it. He's talking about he wish he was today or yesterday.
Speaker A
Boy, don't he know. But Tyson didn't buy into all that size and like a Star [music] Wars character avoided gunfire with ease.
Speaker A
Realizing the true colors, old friend was now trying to butter Tyson up. While Tyson wasn't letting the snake around him.
Speaker A
One last question. Bruce Seldon, is he next? Whoever's next I'll Bruce, do you want Bruce or anybody? I I'll fight anybody Don King put in front of me.
Speaker A
So was Seldon next. A newly crowned WBA champion Bruce Seldon taking what was once Tyson's possession. He wasn't willing to give it away freely.
Speaker A
Seldon had that jab he was so confident of. Well, I have a good jab. He has a good jab. Well, I respect that. That's good.
