Round 2: Mike Tyson threw a nice body shot, and Roy Jones Jr. countered with a nice, crisp, no-look jab that momentarily got Tyson’s attention. There was some extended holding in the middle of the round, and referee Ray Corona didn’t seem to mind one bit as they leaned on each other. Tyson landed some lefts to end the round, and embraced Jones afterward in a good show of sportsmanship.

On June 27, 1988, Tyson faced Michael Spinks. Spinks, who had taken the heavyweight championship from Larry Holmes via fifteen-round decision in 1985, had not lost his title in the ring but was not recognized as champion by the major boxing organizations. Holmes had previously given up all but the IBF title, and that was eventually stripped from Spinks after he elected to fight Gerry Cooney (winning by TKO in the fifth round) rather than IBF Number 1 Contender Tony Tucker, as the Cooney fight provided him a larger purse. However, Spinks did become the lineal champion by beating Holmes and many (including Ring magazine) considered him to have a legitimate claim to being the true heavyweight champion. The bout was, at the time, the richest fight in history and expectations were very high. Boxing pundits were predicting a titanic battle of styles, with Tyson's aggressive infighting conflicting with Spinks's skillful out-boxing and footwork. The fight ended after 91 seconds when Tyson knocked Spinks out in the first round; many consider this to be the pinnacle of Tyson's fame and boxing ability.
"When was in the room with Mike, her eyes just lit up. ... She just has this look on her face like, ‘Wow,’" Boatwright said. "We were all young. We were silly girls and most of us never had an opportunity to be that close to a celebrity."

ROUND TABLE: Donnie, this is your sixth film with director WILSON YIP, what are the easiest part about filming with someone you’ve filmed with a number of times before and what are the hardest part when you work together so often?
Actually, they were real,all incidents in this story might not be true,cause its a movie, but the fights were real of course,But, what ive heard from different people is that last fight(ip man vs twister) had some modifications in it.Actually it was quite longer,Extra scenes were added, actually ip man defeated Twister quickly same as Gen.Miura, but see since ive already mentioned its a movie, so extras will be added,otherwise it would be boring,and it would make people think that ip mans victory would be inevitable,

mike tyson movie about his life Tyson in a fight scene should’ve been easy for him. But according to the John Wick 4 actor, that wasn’t the case. Yen revealed how terrified he was shooting one fight scene with Tyson.
"I don’t think so. Unless something miraculous happens. But you never know. The more we learn about ourselves, the more we learn about life. Life is pretty interesting. We’re born not knowing, we die not knowing where we came from. But our life prepares us for our death. We still don’t know sh*t about it, but when we get to a certain age, we’re not scared of dying no more, like it was when we were young."
