Watch A 15-Year-Old Mike Tyson Pulverize His Opponent With One Devastating Punch

The video above is footage of a 15-year-old Mike Tyson destroying his opponent Joe Cortez at the 1981 Junior Olympic Championship. At 15-years-old I had braces, skinny arms and baby fat while Mike Tyson was knocking out dudes in one punch who could fuck up my dad.

You don’t get coined ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ by dishing out bitch slaps.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
