First take brought me here
Mike says this was his favorite and praises Pinklon's chin. I think Mike just liked that he was able to punish someone with more than one shot lol.
Damn!
Am I the only one here from first take interview ?😂
Tyson says this is his favorite I see why 😂 hit em with a ultra combo
ANYONE HERE FROM THE RECENT STEPHEN A INTERVIEW?
Mike brought me here from First Take
This was Tyson's favourite KO. Let me tell you why from me, a boxer who has knockout power. One punch knockouts get boring after awhile. When we meet a granite chin, we could practise them bombs for real. There is no better feeling than this
Mike Tyson's favorite knockout.

Tyson said to Steven A Smith today that this was his most memorable KO due to the punishment Thomas could take.
I came here due to Mike's interview on First Take about his favorite K.O. He picked this one. He said that it is because thomas took like 17 Punches in the chin before he went down. The man was tough, he said..
And now I saw the dude took 19 of Mike's Power Punches before going down😅 19 of Mike's Power Punches😅😅 Most Guys go down with one or two of em'😅
Iron Mike just said this was his favorite KO on First Take. Pinklon issa warrior too.
That was amazing Head blocking techniques implemented by Thomas here 😂
This was Tysons favorite Knockout.

タイソンはパンチをからだ全体で打ってますね。😮
Thomas took some heavy bombs🥶
holy fuck

from tyson
damn
Thomas almost got up
I have watched so many fights over 2,000 but more UFC then boxing but I've never heard 👂 the hits like Mike Tyson dose 🤛👊🤜 he's amazing even to this day 💯
I don’t think Thomas had ever been stopped before this. I believe he was trying to make a comeback after having a bad bout with drug addiction.
Devastating, brutal, vicious, magnificent, destructive… Take your pick 🤯
How did Pinklon not die?
Thomas took a beating in this round but he has to be given props for getting up before the count.
