Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth

I had the pleasure of witnessing Mike's 2nd quickest ever KO v Lou Savarese in Glasgow 2000. His first punch landed Savarese on the canvas and it was all over after 38 secs. His status as a legend in my mind was still intact and he's still the greatest, fiercest fighter of my lifetime.

I was a bit apprehensive before watching Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth though. I didn't know this was gonna go down. I was worried he'd brag too much about his victories, come across too cocky or be the opposite and be nervous, get stage fright or gloss over some difficult events in his life that we wanted to hear his side of. I mean it's one difficult task punching the lights out of somebody in front of tens of thousands, it's a more daunting one to bare your soul alone on stage in front of a few hundred up close and personal. But he didn't just pull it off well, he totally killed it and delivered a roller-coaster ride of highs and lows and laughter and tears that like most of his fights felt over all too early but had you pondering about what just happened for days after.

Even if you never liked Mike as a fighter or the man you thought he was you should watch this and if you still dislike him after it then fine, at least you'll be disliking the real Tyson and not the one the media and a host of money-digging parasites have been spinning you for years...but I think you might just come away with a changed perception to the one you held before.

Want wonderful movie about the life and travels of Mike Tyson from the streets and poor to Broadway in a play to all of his fights this was a really great fast movie movie I suggested highly

A stand-up comedy/biography into the life of Mike Tyson ; him growing up in Brooklyn, relations with his mother and childhood friends, his time in detention center and meeting his mentor, life with white fans, becoming the champ, dealing with losses of death, the Mo Green Story, his fall into cocaine and his retribution for his kids and livelihood ..

I'm proud to say Mike Tyson is one of the last male role models alive , and he's grown into a wise man

10/10

Really enjoyed this well worth a watch, highly recommend

We all know how talented Mike Tyson was in the ring at a very early age but I now realize that he would also out perform most stage actors who would even attempt to bare their own life stories on stage. Mrs. Shullivan and I were fortunate to see actor Chazz Palminteri's excellent one man stage show in Toronto about his life from early childhood through to his film career, but Mike Tyson's life story is on a new level of life choice that is second to none.

This is a one man stage show documentary style film with Mike Tyson's own sense of humor thrown in for good measure. No doubt, he had a tough life just to survive and jail and prison were not the Holiday Inn either. The only piece of Mike's life that he left out, and in my humble opinion it was a big part of his life, was how hard he must of had to work in and out of the ring to get in shape and stay in shape, both physically and mentally.

I give it an 8 out of 10 IMDB rating. It's a must see for both the historical value and the entertainment value.
