Mike Tyson vs Tony Tubbs - Full FIGHT - Best Quality

Tyson was only two months removed from an impressive victory over ex-Heavyweight champion Larry Holmes. Shortly after his victory, Tyson's promoter Don King was able to work out a blockbuster deal with Michael Spinks and Spinks' promoter Butch Lewis that would see Spinks finally meet Tyson for the Undisputed Championship. Before that fight would happen, however, Tyson would first have to defend his titles against former WBA Heavyweight champion Tony Tubbs in Tokyo, Japan for his first ever title defense outside of the United States. Much was made about the weight of Tony Tubbs. The Japanese promoters had offered Tubbs an additional $50,000 had he weighed less than 235 and Tubbs himself claimed he would come into the fight at 230 pounds, however it was revealed at the final weigh-in that he in fact weighed 238 pounds. It was revealed before the fight that Tubbs had a falling out with his trainer Richie Giachetti, who had been recommended to Tubbs by Tyson's previous opponent, Larry Holmes. Giachetti would claim lack of motivation on Tubbs' part, stating "I tried to kick him in the ass, get him in shape, and Tony didn't like that. It's a shame. The guy has real ability, but I don't think he's in good shape." Despite his weight issues, Tubbs remained confident that he could pull off the upset and defeat Tyson, stating "A lot of guys who've lost to him have made the mistake of getting caught up in his kind of fight, and I won't let him suck me up into his kind of fight. I won't let him do that. I'm going to make him box. He's never faced a guy with my hand speed."
