Nobody ever got knocked out by Mike Tyson and ever got back up
It was almost a ten count, he was stumbling.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1… ding ding ding, saved by the bell
He goes to his corner.. that’s it.
The whole world’s like yep, that’s it.

Mike Tyson came out like – I got him
I got this kid up against the rope
