Mike Tyson

SportsCentury Documentary This is a documentary on Mike Tyson that curtails his birth in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, NYC, as well as his youth in the hardest section of Brooklyn. See detailed events leading to his move to The Catskills where he found his idle, famous boxing trainer Cus D'Amato, who became his father figure, trainer, &hero. The film explores his reign as World Heavyweight Champion of Boxing, both before and after the controversial arrest &conviction for the rape of Desire Washington. Lastly, this film is the only known to explore Tyson through psychiatric analysis that explains how Tyson was forced to go on and off his medication depending on when he had fights (which provides incite as to why life during boxing versus life after boxing was so much more chaotic & difficult). Tyson is doing very well today, living a cultured, ambitious, and outburst-free life. The turn-a-round by Tyson is possibly more impressive than that of any sports superstar in history with a troubled past. I for one, am so happy for Mike and I am extremely relieved that he is finally seen (by the masses) for the wonderful person he is. He had a difficult past and always began with the best of intentions only to be taken advantage by countless people he trusted in life.
