“The sheer power of the uppercut would’ve sent 99.9% of every human on earth to the shadow realm.” 😂😂😂

The fact that Tyson could keep his foot on the gas for 10 rounds and not slow down is insane. Hitting with that much power and maintaining the agility he did, the greatest heavyweight of all time.

You've got to respect anyone who can go (almost) 10 rounds with Mike Tyson in his prime. Absolutely insane. It must have been something to see in person!

I love how prime mike is still humble and humane . He hits that ruthless aggression switch to off instantly after the fight . True class

Tyson's hands were astoundingly fast for the heavyweight division. Those uppercuts were so perfectly performed, it almost looked like a cartoon.

The fact that Ribalta was able to walk away without brain damage after getting pummeled like that is a testament to his toughness. Tyson was pounding him like he wanted him dead for 10 rounds.

Oh my lord the sound of those THUDDING punches are just unreal! The endurance to fight like that for 10 rounds..i see so many boxers today struggling with not even 10% of what mike did back then..the output,the cardio,the movement,the freakish power. I just love to watch tysons 80s fights man! 🔥🔥🔥

Tyson was 5'10", 200lbs of pure muscle. He fought guys with a foot of height and reach over him and destroyed them. Absolute beast.

How does his round 10 punches look as deadly as his round 1 punches? That’s insane stamina.

99.9% of people would have been dead by the end of this fight. Ribalta’s toughness is incredible. He gritted his teeth and ate some of the strongest punches that pro boxing has ever seen. And the best part is that he was never knocked out. He was knocked on his ass multiple times, but he refused to lose consciousness. Insane physical and mental fortitude.

At 6:20 Mikes opening combination is just a complete destruction. How that man was still standing after this attack is incredible. Any normal man would be dead.

Jake paul is dead

Mad respect to Ribalta. He took at least 15 knockout punches to the head and stayed on his feet like it was nothing.

He’s so compact man, not the biggest boxing fan but Mike fighting style has always fascinated me. The power and burst with each punch. They land like flying meteors.

5:03 WTF was that punch He ducks, locks eyes, and swings at pull power in a fraction of a second. Man, respect to Ribalta for dodging that.

Fully motivated 20yr old Tyson was invincible. Not only was Mike an offensive machine but his defense was just as good. Shout-out to Ribalta for enduring one of the harshest beatdowns I have ever witnessed. It's a pleasure binge watching Mike Tyson's legendary fights through 'BLTV Classic'

I cant believe that dude was still standing after taking those hard punches, how is that even possible lol. Incredible respect for that guy

7:27 The medias will never show this part of Mike. What a legend. Lucky to be born seeing him fight.

You just feel the power Tyson has in every punch he lands.!

I can't believe this guy didn't get more credit for being the only living punching bag for Mike Tyson. The sound of those hits were insane. Mike's sparring partners didn't want to spar with him but this guy took 10 rounds of Tysons strongest. Unreal.

This post fight interview proves how professional and classy Mike Tyson was in the early stages of his career. Don King and the boxing industry broke him; that's when all the crazy talk and ear biting comes from. If Gus could have lived throughout Tyson's career, we'd be talking about Mike like Ali pt II; people want Mike to sound silly, but he's been a wise man.

The heat on the shots at 4:50 and 6:20 is truly why boxing died. No one could top this level of intensity. He literally fought like he was gonna get executed if he lost every time out. Nobody does that now.

Those punches were something else. José was a tough fighter. Respect to him as well.

Tyson was INSANE!! The most aggressive, vicious figher ever, and it's not even close. He was a human pitbull. But you gotta give Ribalta props for lasting so many rounds.

Mike Tyson just restores opponents to factory settings. An Absolute legend.

This is an incredible display of power, stamina and skill by Tyson.

Tysons post fight interview was class.

There's a certain moment in Mike's matches where his opponents realize they've entered the ring with Death. You can see it in Ribalta's eyes early on. But the man just kept getting back up over and over again. Can't give enough props to the man with that much physical and mental toughness.

How the hell did he tank 10 rounds of those shots Ribalta has an incredible pain tolerance and more surprisingly how can the post interview remark be so dumb? The round 10 shots looked as deadly as any other punches he threw. Tyson was so deadly man...

This fight is absolutely the most brutal fight I've ever seen. How are these two people alive after a fight like this? These men are not human.

You don't see fights like this no more

There couldn't be more than a handful of people on Earth that could've lasted this long taking this many hard shots from Tyson. Much respect.

It really demonstrates Tyson's freakish level of fitness that throughout the fight he was relentlessly throwing power punches. A single 3 minute round of punching mitts in boxing classes can stuff lots of people and those aren't punches that could knock out a heavyweight. Big punching, time after time after time, for 10 rounds is unbelievably grueling, but Tyson didn't even look puffed. What an incredible athlete.

My Dad was way more into boxing/mixed martial arts than I ever was, but I will say I've never seen anyone do what Tyson has done. If he's not the best, he's right there at the top.

Mad respect for Ribalta here. He did what very few humans on earth could do, go 10 ten rounds with Tyson in his prime. the strength and resiliency it took to do this is off the charts.

There's no other heavyweight that throws such vicious combinations, body, head, uppercut! Tyson was an animal🥊🥊🥊

Ribalta is a monster in his own right. Look at how many punches he took yet still continued standing. Insane

having never seen this fight before, seeing ribalta get absolutely fucking decimated with knockout punches and still keep getting up is insane. the dude is a tank, major props

The fact that Tyson kept up the ferocity in the closing rounds is astounding. With the speed, power and aggression displayed from the get-go, you'd imagine he'd be drained after 3 rounds, but he keeps on going. An absolute monster of a fighter.

How does one not simply pass away after getting hit like Ribalta did at 04:37, that uppercut/bodyshot combo has to be one of the most devestating I have ever seen.

This fight was a massacre. Tyson at his absolute best in speed, stamina and technique. Glorious to watch. Props to Ribalta for not giving up.

It’s crazy how different prime Mike looked than the current great heavyweights. Mike’s hand speed relentlessness accuracy power stamina all look next level.

The fact that Mike doesn't even look exhausted after the fight proves how much of a terrifying opponent he was.

Those were some scary punches, man. Glad to see Ribalta still has his faculties over 35 years later

Man, Tyson's roaring face before the fight was epic😅. The best modern boxer. None is like him.

The way Tyson is able to interact in an interview after fighting 10 rounds like he did here is mind boggling. 😮

Man, Tyson’s combo of stamina, speed and power was INSANE!

It's amazing watching reels from fights from a time I wasn't even alive in. Had me standing out of my seat, I couldn't believe my eyes. The power, speed, stamina and concentration was like something out of legend. Watching Tyson fight in his prime motivates me like nothing else, impeccable.

Tyson's punches are so powerful it creates the sound of gunshots

Like most people here on UKposts, we've seen Tyson working out. His hands are still very, very fast. He still has size to him, he's is, and always will be the . Greatest Of All Time

the amount of force behind Tyson's punches is unreal. Add to that his incredible speed. Mindblowing.

That is one insane dude just eating shots like nothing. A couple of those were KO's on a lot of boxers. Mike was just unstoppable. He didn't start sweating until the post fight interview.

Wow Tyson was on God level mode. I felt every 🥊

Quality documentary, well done

No body I mean absolutely no body beats this version of Mike Tyson .. He had it all power,stamina, head movement,combination punching, an absolute beast …. If Tyson would have took he training more serious & never left Rooney & Atlas he would have been the best heavyweight ever.

I remember watching this video a year ago when I was struggling.. Seeing this has brought tears to my eyes. I live much different life now and this video is still here to remind me of how far I have come. Never give up in life. No condition is permanent

That was BRUTAL.

This is the most brutal match I have ever seen. WOW. Why didn't anyone do a scientific examination on Tyson's punching power? Amazing

Holy crap... i have never seen such a brutal display of Tysons power and endurance, i truly was bewildered with how 8 rounds in he can throw such thunderous right hooks and combos so fast and powerful. What you said about how the first upcut would knock out 99.99% of the human race was chilling and that wasnt anything special for tyson. GOAT.

That uppercut would break an average person's neck. This is one of Tyson's best fights to showcase just how great a boxer he was. His skills are still underrated by a lot of people.

Crazy how young fighters want to fight old legends. They just don't make them like they used to.

The sheer power and consistency of Mike Tyson's punches is just insane.

The Ribalta fight, for me, is Tyson's most-underappreciated and one of my favorites. It showcases all of Tyson's strengths: combos, slipping, countering. If you want the best fight to watch to analyze Tyson in-depth, I think Ribalta is top 3.

The sheer violence of Tysons punches always stuns me

Tyson was incredibly strong and still humble,you gotta love him.

Ribalta has some chin that's for sure! I think even Tyson said he was shocked at how he just kept getting back up. One of my favourite fights that's for sure!

There will never be another Tyson. God, he was terrifying.

That look Tyson had at 7:12 literally said “I could do this all day”. That man was literally not tired at all he is an absolute savage powerhouse.

Ribalta ate hits that would had sent mortal men to their grave. Respect to him and his name. Respect to Tyson to fighting our of his weight, height, and reach. His aggressive forward movement and short range bursts really got out to the test here.

6:22 that was like something you’d see out of a video game as a special attack like holy shit he combo’d the hell out of Ribalta

Wow. I've seen Tyson's fights before, but when he got frustrated that his opponent was so tough, he really put on an impressive display. There's nothing you can do against a man like that, no matter what size you are. Delivering some of the world's most powerful blows and being able to do it all match.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone take that many power punches and live, especially from Tyson. got to give Ribalta credit, he definitely has heart and a good chin, but props to Tyson for remaining professional post fight.

Fast and yet so freaking powerful, this man is not human

Those body shots and uppercuts were art, how Tyson could stay in the pocket and not get hit is unreal

Bloody hell that was a serious beating Ribalta took, credit to him for taking punches that would easily kill most ppl. Mike was a beast in his prime

That's the greatest punishment i've ever seen a human endure in boxing history😢😢😢😢😢

The one and only Tyson. This guy is a legend.

Mad respect to Ribalta for jumping up after that massive uppercut that would have ended most opponents. The fact he made it through so many rounds with Mike in his prime is a testament in itself. Even Tyson gave him the respect he deserved after the match.

The fact that this guy stood in there for that long and took that many shots is insane 😂🫡

Damn, Mike was an absolute monster in his prime. That uppercut in round 2 was nasty! Good fight from ribalta, that man took those shots for 10 straight rounds. Much respect.

Tyson is a great fighter. Just watching his older matches is amazing. This poor fellow is so outmatched by Tyson, that Tyson dissects him in the ring. Slow merciless destruction.

Tyson hits so freaking hard dude. I'm blown away every time I hear one of his blows land. absolute legend

6:21 this combo, holy shit. That's some insane speed and accuracy, dont know how he was still standing

The brilliance of tyson..what a fighter

It's incredible how many punches and uppercuts took this guy

Two observations from a boxing novice: 1. Tyson has some sort of ESP that allowed him to dodge on an inhuman level. It's hard to tell Ribalta's power when he doesn't land any solid shots. 2. The amount of abuse Ribalta took is absolutely insane! The liver punches, the uppercuts that would break the average man's neck, total carnage. And he stayed standing. Just incredible endurance there.

The condition of Mike to throw those body shots consistently, and not get tuckered out will never not leave me in awe.

Absolute ferocity from Tyson. Moreorless Prime here. Got to give Ribalta huge credit. I genuinely don’t know how he got up after the hook / uppercut combo and those body shots…..! A very brave guy and tremendously resilient. I also loved the way Tyson would handle himself in after match interviews and just in general, in those prime years. Before he became this raging confrontational beast that had become angry and embittered by his treatment at the hands of Don King, Robin Givens and all the others, he was a courteous and respectful professional. Hugely knowledgeable and with a very humble outlook. Much like he became in later life as an older man. What an amazing life he’s had.

5:02 one of the best sequences iv seen in any sport/competition

The combo at 6:20 was mental. I would’ve literally died

For me, this is the most impressive I’ve seen Mike, a locomotive without brakes and after the fight still looked like he had only just warmed up.

Watching this man put those combos together is freightning. 😅

That right hand to the body followed by an uppercut is so filthy. Mike was something else holy sh*t.

I’m convinced that no boxer to have ever lived could’ve beat Tyson in 1986.

Those combo hits my GOD. How he survived those hits is beyond me.

That's why Mike is a legend...our hero...

Nahhh bro jake paul ain’t got a chance💀

For the life of me, I will never understand how anyone walked away from a punch by Tyson. Boxer or not. His punches always looked murderous. I hurt just watching. I’m shocked he even had losses on his record. So quick and violent.

Watching Mike Tyson in his Prime swinging and hitting someone who doesn't just get sent immediately to the Shadow Realm is impressive. Though you can start to see the fear in that man's eyes when he realizes just how fast and accurate Tyson is. This is the scariest and most fearsome boxer on the planet during this time. Tyson is still my favorite, getting to see him live on TV when I was a child was such an amazing experience. The part that makes Tyson so terrifying is he is still hitting just as fast and hard in the late rounds as he was in the first round, with deadly accuracy. Those punches are so fast you barely have time to react too. I really respect Tyson too for what he says at the end of the fight at 7:30. You can tell he has respect for the man for going the distance with him and taking such insane punches. When he finally knocks the guy out in the 10th round the look on his face is just like "finally, jesus"

This man will always, always be the most viscious fighter in his prime that could've beaten ANYONE, ANYONE, TODAY AND YESTERDAY. I HAVE YET TO SEE THOSE SKILLS,SPEED, POWER AND WITS AS IRON MIKE. ONE HIT AND YOU WERE DONE
