In 2005, an unknown Irish boxer beat Mike Tyson in front of hundreds of thousands of people. Then he disappeared.

Filmmaker Joshua Z Weinstein rediscovers boxer Kevin McBride, raising his children in a gritty Boston suburb. Kevinʼs body is deteriorating, yet he compulsively continues to fight.

This lyrical film finds a boxer at the end of his career – engaging in the Sisyphean task that is his life.

He beat a washed up fighter that used to be Mike Tyson.

Anyone remember the post-fight interview?

Tyson was very honest and frank about the fight and even mentioned how he isn't into boxing anymore and just took it as a payday.

"1"

Yes...Bully syndrome who was always full of fear and became exposed when the feared leaked out. Never to be the same.

You know Tyson actually won that fight right?



Why did'nt he stop the fight when buster was out on his feet? and the bell saved his ass.

That is a popular theory that has been advanced by Teddy Atlas and sportwriters trying to create a narrative.  

I believe the truth is that by 1990 Tyson had lost Robin Givens, fired his trainer and managers, gotten involved with Don King, was bored with fighting, didn't want to get in shape, was surrounded by leeches and yes-men and would rather just bang groupies and spend his enormous fortune.

He was no longer physically or mentally at his best.  It was still difficult for people to beat him until much later when he was getting close to 40 years old.

He didnt beat Tyson, Tyson beat himself ...and at that match he just quit...McBride couldn't even take him out at he 15% or whatever he was ...When Tyson showed up to fight Douglass, that was the beginning of the end..the Mike Tyson that destroyed Spinks in under a minute could beat any boxer at their prime .
