    Big thanks to Athletic Greens for sponsoring this show.

  2. "Was he sincere?"
    In all respect you put a GUN to his head
    it was very generous from him to come up to you and say hes sorry
    you shouldve done that.

  3. He gets stripes for pulling a GUN on Tyson??? GTFOHWTMFBS!!! That’s the only reason why Tyson didn’t knock him the fk out!!! Although I have to admit, that if Tyson did sexually assault his family member, that was fkd up!!!

  4. You did the right thing and you still had self control, no one violates our daughters. Mike still acts untouchable and unremorseful. Check his recent podcast with barstool

  5. Some1 lemme know full story why they fine now he shot 13yr old mike for what whats the story

  6. Mick has daughters now he knows what he would of did in the same situation….teddy makes it more about him that the daughter he touched

  7. Mike was only 13 yo at the time of saying something about someone in teddies family right? Teddy was 27 and the girl was 11 yeah? I don't understand why teddy had to go to such extreme measures to show Mike he shouldn't have said something to his family member. Pulling a gun on a 13 yo is crazy, even if that 13 yo could kick your grown ass.

  8. Mike is a peadophile and rapist. No wonder Teddy nearly fucking killed him!

  9. I'm glad they atleàst shook hands.. Imagine how big of a man,it would take,to realize how bad a mistake he made?Then apologize?
    It takes a man to take his 💊, especially when it ma jagged as Mike's was..Kudos Mike 💪

  10. This makes me so incredibly happy, man. I’ve been wanting them to have an honest face to face and have a chance to make amends.

  11. Guess Tyson didn't mean it because not long ago at all, he was cutting teddy down calling him a pos.. 🤷🏼‍♂️

  12. Forgiveness and Humility sets the captives free. Great story The Spirit of Reconciliation manifested. Glory to God.

  13. You an tyson need a recorded conversation about EVERYTHING sense the beginning
    I'm sick of hearing the deep side of the story from you 2 separately

  14. Reiterates something my dad said to me many times. If you are in the wrong, forget your pride, all the stubbornness, admit you’re in the wrong and apologise, never be afraid to say you’re sorry. Regardless what it is, you apologise, thinking about it hurts more than saying it, and once it’s said, 9 times out of 10, you will be embraced & everything is good again.

  15. You needed a gun? Ugh after all those years of fighting. U should've said sorry too. Cause of gun. But he was wrong

  16. Saying that Tyson's real record is 0-5 is most hateful thing i ever hear in my life!!! You are boaring full of hate, bitter man! Leave Tyson alone!

  17. Your not an “idiot”, some mf (14yr old or not) said he’d assault your daughter and you did the right thing, I’d of blown the mfs head off if I’d gotten far enough to point it at his head. I feel the apology was genuine and this by far the as the best outcome for everybody

  18. Without dragging in the history.i think anyone who knows it . would have to say the biggest man in the situation was teddy.. role model 101

  19. I want Tyson to apologise to Kevin Rooney for letting Don King manipulate him into firing him in his prime. If Rooney stayed as Tysons trainer during the 90s Tysons record would be 100-0.

  20. It was sincere. I had similar falling outs with friends from long ago. This past year, I found out their information and reached out to apologize for any way in which I contributed to our falling out, even in situations where I thought the other person was responsible.

    And I meant it. As I age, I realize that no small quibbles should be enough to end friendships, and I was at least partially responsible in every instance. It also doesn't matter even if I weren't. At the very least, I was sorry that I allowed the relationship to end.

    I have no doubt Mike was similarly sincere. It takes some of us a long time to realize how little our ego matters in this life. It certainly took me quite awhile.

  21. Teddy, you made the right move, Mike appears to really working to become a better person. It would be a huge get if you could get him as regularly as possible to make an appearance at the fundraiser at your foundation dinner.

  22. I must admit, I don’t know what happened, and that I’m only a recent fan of teddy atlas, but by any means necessary Mike Tyson of old to apologize for “whatever” today – is a heartfelt genuine apology.

  23. Literally two of my favorite people of all time ( Teddy and Mike) and they happened to work and have a relationship with each other . Tim Bradley and Manny finish my Mount Rushmore… No not my boxing mount Rushmore , my mount Rushmore of greatest men of all time.

  24. Mike should of just punched your hunch back of notre dame arse up , your one disrespectful bitter old man

  25. Mike Tyson has changed to be a different person today, for the better…. and i admire him for that.

  26. "hey do you believe in magick?" gave me chills when he asked a fighter that in the corner? best moment ever.. I wish Teddy would have been in my corner when I needed someone like him when I faced my greatest fight in life.. I remembered his words too late.
