00:18the time for talk is over, the time to fight is here.
00:23It's the time we've all been waiting for.
00:27Live from the Pyramid in Memphis, it's fight time.
00:38Introducing to you first the challenger on my right.
00:41He is fighting out of the blue corner, entering the ring wearing his traditional solid black trunks
00:47and hailing from Catskill, New York.
00:53He weighed in at 234.5 pounds with a record of 49 wins, three losses, two no contests.

01:07Here is the youngest man ever to win the heavyweight title,
01:11currently ranked the number one contender by the WBC.
01:15Please welcome tonight's challenger, the explosive two-time heavyweight champion of the world.
01:22Introducing the one and only Iron Mike Tyson.
01:39And hiding out of the red corner, wearing white, trimmed with red letters
01:43and officially weighing 249.25 pounds, he captured Olympic gold in 1988.
01:51Now, as a professional, he has 39 victories, including 30 knockouts and three world titles.
01:59He has two defeats and a draw, all by way of rematch having changed to victories,
02:05making him one of the few men in boxing history to have virtually defeated every man he has ever faced.
02:14Ladies and gentlemen, from London, England, presenting the three-time world champion,
02:23legitimate and universally recognized, undisputed heavyweight champion of the world,
02:34Lennox Lewis.
02:52Step forward when the bell rings.
03:03Only one will be destiny's hero.
03:07Only one will pass from heavyweight greatness to heavyweight legend.
03:13So now there's only one thing left to say.
03:18Ladies and gentlemen, let's get ready to rumble!
03:36We've had two announcers.
03:39I wonder if we're going to have two bells when this fight finally starts.
03:46You know, you don't want to have two punches too cautious.
03:49And that's what can happen when you have dynamite punches.
03:52They're both too careful.
04:05We're underway. Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson for the heavyweight championship of the world.
04:25Tyson attacking Lewis, and Lewis comes right back with three uppercuts.
04:32The one initial uppercut that changed everything right now.
04:35Lewis unloading an uppercut with a surprise.
04:39Lewis ripping from down low as Tyson tries to counter.
04:44And Tyson unveils the quick left hook.
04:48It's what we expected in the opening moments.
04:53I'm surprised Tyson was able to hit so easy with an uppercut.
04:59There was no missing.
05:02Tyson may have been slightly dazed by one of those uppercuts.
05:06May have, no doubt about it.
05:10The man in between Lewis and Tyson.
05:14Eddie Cotton, 6'5", 250 pounds.
05:18And that's no accident. Cotton handpicked to make sure he could handle the masses inside the ring.
05:27It's going to get real ugly if Lewis keeps clinching the way he's doing.
05:32Well, what is he supposed to do when the smaller man dives into him?
05:36You better fight Tyson. You better fight him. You better fight him good.
05:39You start clinching him, you give him all the courage that he needs.
05:42But that's what Holyfield did to him. He clinched him and clinched him and frustrated him.
05:46Holyfield is down low. This man is up high.
