Mike Tyson is undoubtedly one of the most iconic figures in boxing history. Nicknamed “Iron Mike” or “The Baddest Man on the Planet,” he won hearts and intimidated opponents with his unique fighting style, raw energy, and relentless determination. But what makes Tyson a legend is his ability to crush even the most arrogant of opponents, turning his fights into true displays of humility and power.

The recently released documentary,   “Get Ready: Mike Tyson’s Ruthless Destruction of Arrogant Fighters   ,” immerses viewers in the brutal world of professional boxing in the 1980s and 1990s. This film is much more than a compilation of the struggles; it is an in-depth analysis of what made Tyson such an unparalleled predator in the ring.

The film opens with a flashback to Mike Tyson’s troubled youth. Born in Brooklyn, New York, into a tough neighborhood, he soon encountered violence, poverty, and adversity. These experiences shaped him and led him to seek escape in boxing. Under the tutelage of Cus D’Amato, a visionary trainer, Tyson developed a style and mindset that would redefine the sport.

One of the strengths of this documentary is its exploration of Tyson’s most memorable fights. Each sequence is carefully dissected, highlighting the strategies Tyson used to destroy his opponents. The viewer relives the moments when boxers, often filled with self-importance and overconfidence, found themselves facing Tyson’s overwhelming power. The way he exploited his psychological and technical flaws is remarkable.

One of the most notable examples is his fight against Michael Spinks in 1988. Being a formidable opponent, Spinks only lasted 91 seconds against Tyson’s fury. This historic moment was described in the documentary as one of the best examples of Tyson’s dominance over his opponents.
