Mike Tyson vs Tyrell Biggs - Full Fight - 10-16-1987



Bout Summary:

One after another they landed on Tyrell Biggs' jaw. Left hooks from everywhere, world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson pumping them in as if he were pitching batting practice. And for six rounds Biggs, the 1984 Olympic superheavyweight champion, caught them as if he were Yogi Berra. But finally, inevitably, Biggs would have enough. It ended at 2:59 of the seventh round Friday night when still another Tyson left hook sent Biggs flying into his corner, where his body thudded to the canvas with his feet in the air. Thus, Tyson rang up his 32d professional victory without a defeat, his 28th by knockout, successfully defending his unified heavyweight championship and handing Biggs his first pro defeat. He is now 15-1. Tyson's victory set up a Jan. 23 match, probably here, against former heavyweight champion Larry Holmes. Although the end came with only a second remaining in the round, it appeared over about a minute earlier when Biggs stumbled, in part from a Tyson punch, in part from exhaustion. However, the challenger regained his feet as referee Tony Orlando reached the count of nine. But few in boxing today can finish off a stumbling opponent better than Tyson. He attacked Biggs with his crashing left hook, and the gallant Philadelphian, also fighting off a deep cut over his right eye since the third round, was finished. For a short while, at least, during the first round, Biggs did what some said he could do to Tyson, keeping him away with sharp jabs while taking blows to the chin with seeming ease. But Tyson began to wear Biggs down, landing often with his left hook, an occasional sharp jab of his own and some quick rights. Biggs absorbed them all but failed to keep circling and flinging in his jab, making the final outcome clear to those on hand.
