Mike Tyson's Legacy

Let me start this off by saying that I am not a boxing fan.  I don't watch boxing, nor do I keep up with the latest boxing stats, and I cannot name the last 3 boxing champions, but everyone knows Mike Tyson.  I grew up with an older brother that enjoyed watching boxing and I was forced to hear about it.  And then my dad bought us boxing gloves and he would either get to be Evander Holyfield, but I always had to be George Forman.  

We would box to learn how to defend ourselves and my brother would always emulate these boxers' famous moves including Mike Tyson's uppercut.  A move he was allegedly contracted to not perform in this latest boxing match (performance, publicity stunt, money grab) with a youtuber that shall not be named here.  

It's been alleged that Mike Tyson was contracted to not knock out his opponent and to not perform key moves in the fight.  I must say it was disappointing to hear about his loss.  A part of my childhood memories meant a little less--I don't know why or how to explain it.  

Honestly the match was not the highlight of this fight in my opinion.  Before the match took place, Tyson did an interview with a young reporter who asked about his legacy and his response to her had many on the internet shocked.  They commented saying did he forget that he was talking to a young person.  His demeanor and response came across as detached and negative.  Check out the interview and my response in the video above.
