- 4:55Speaker 4: the easy part in boxing is training physically.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Mentally, that's a hard part. People have you doing it
- 5:01Speaker 1: over and over and over and over and over and over.
- 5:04Speaker 4: That's not building up your body or your legs, or
- 5:07Speaker 4: your or your heart, is.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Building up your mind.
- 5:10Speaker 5: You mean, Fear is the greatest obstacle to learn it.
- 5:12Speaker 5: Fear is like fire. If you're learning to control it,
- 5:16Speaker 5: you can make up work feel to let it get
- 5:18Speaker 5: out of control and destroy you and everything around you.
- 5:21Speaker 5: I have never seen a fighter like Mike, give me Godona.
- 5:23Speaker 1: It's the one of the greatest we ever had. It's
- 5:25Speaker 1: not the greatest level there.
- 5:26Speaker 2: A boy comes to me with a spark of interest.
- 5:29Speaker 2: I feed that spark and it becomes a flame. I
- 5:32Speaker 2: feed the flame and it becomes a fire. I feed
- 5:35Speaker 2: the fire and it becomes a roaring blaze.
- 5:38Speaker 1: Yes, met me.
- 5:38Speaker 2: I'm a little kidd. He said, you'll be the world
- 5:40Speaker 2: chat many fall in love with myself.
- 5:45Speaker 1: The one. You gotta believe in me now.
- 5:47Speaker 4: I like to dedicate my fight to my great guardian
- 5:50Speaker 4: custom Outel.
- 5:51Speaker 2: And I'm sure he's up there and he's looking and
- 5:53Speaker 2: he's talking to all the great fighters, and Saint his
- 5:54Speaker 2: boy did it.
- 5:55Speaker 1: He made me believe that was the greatest ever lived.
- 5:58Speaker 5: I believe that eventually, Godona, that's the greatest tumble.
- 6:01Speaker 1: We're jumping with other eyes. I didn't know I was
- 6:05Speaker 1: the one when you were a specimen. Things more than
- 6:10Speaker 1: that to be a fighter.
- 6:12Speaker 2: When I come out, I have supreme confidence. I'm scared
- 6:15Speaker 2: to death. I'm totally afraid. I'm afraid of everything. I'm
- 6:18Speaker 2: afraid of losing, I'm afraid of being humiliated. But I'm
- 6:21Speaker 2: totally confident. The closer I get to the ring, more
- 6:23Speaker 2: confident I get. The closer I'm more confidence I get
- 6:26Speaker 2: the closer, and more confidence I get. Or during my training,
- 6:30Speaker 2: I've been afraid of this man. I thought this man
- 6:32Speaker 2: might be capable of beating me. I've dreamed of from
- 6:34Speaker 2: beating me. But it's closer I get to the ring.
- 6:36Speaker 2: I'm more confident. Once I'm in the ring, I'm a god.
- 6:40Speaker 2: No one could beat me.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Mike Tyson, greatest fighter ever lives. I'm a student of war.
- 6:46Speaker 2: I know all the boy from Charlotte Magne Achilles, the
- 6:50Speaker 2: number one war of all wars. He is from me,
- 6:52Speaker 2: Alexander and the boy there I know. The more I read,
- 6:54Speaker 2: the more I studied, the more I know the art
- 6:57Speaker 2: of fighter. I know the art of war. And that's
- 6:59Speaker 2: all I was. That's why I'm so feared. That's why
- 7:02Speaker 2: he was fearing me when I was in the ring,
- 7:03Speaker 2: because I sold my I was annihilated.
- 7:06Speaker 1: That's all I was boring for and the other things
- 7:09Speaker 1: are gone. That's empty.
- 7:10Speaker 2: I'm nothing. I'm working on feeling an art of humbleness.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Can you believe me? That's the reason why I'm crying,
- 7:16Speaker 1: Because I'm not that person. No more, and I miss them.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Because sometimes I feel like a bitch because I don't
- 7:23Speaker 2: want to. I don't want that person to come out,
- 7:26Speaker 2: because he comes out the hell it's coming with him.
- 7:32Speaker 1: That's all we talked about. Success he did everybody having
- 7:38Speaker 1: all the women, that all the cars from blades Boks.
- 7:41Speaker 1: Every day we wanted.
- 7:43Speaker 2: That's how we lived our life, and we had nothing.
- 7:46Speaker 2: You lived thinking that we're great all day, all day, every.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Day we were, we were great.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Sometimes my whole life I thought I was working the
- 7:55Speaker 2: guard of the savages.
- 7:56Speaker 1: Look where I came from. I hate felt sorry for myself.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Had chipped my shoulder because I was always poor.
- 8:00Speaker 2: I was on educated my monks to watch me ring
- 8:03Speaker 2: and all that stuff.
- 8:04Speaker 1: And I ed to found out. I a little scary
- 8:06Speaker 1: boy and a tough guy. I live here. I'm from Brownsville, Brooklyn.
- 8:14Speaker 1: I'm with fear. Looks like, look at me.
- 8:19Speaker 2: If you think anybody's afraid of me, I'm probably more
- 8:22Speaker 2: a thousand times more afraid of them than they are me.
- 8:25Speaker 2: That's why I'm more aggressive than they are. My whole
- 8:29Speaker 2: life is fear based. I'm afraid of my mother's boyfriend.
- 8:32Speaker 2: I'm afraid of the guy's outside. That's why once I
- 8:37Speaker 2: got involved, because I was a young boy. But once
- 8:41Speaker 2: he he spoke with me every night about discipline and character.
- 8:46Speaker 1: You have to be disciplined, disciplined and doing what you
- 8:48Speaker 1: hate to do, but do it like you love it.
- 8:50Speaker 1: No nobody physically fuck with me again. You become the
- 8:58Speaker 1: graty fighter in no world. He made me this fight.
- 9:03Speaker 1: He still don't understand that he's my boy.
- 9:06Speaker 5: Here's with me, and for that reason, I just accept
- 9:09Speaker 5: him that way.
- 9:10Speaker 1: All he did was sell me dreams to become me
- 9:12Speaker 1: wonderful things.
- 9:13Speaker 2: What we're gonna accomplish, and who we're gonna be, and
- 9:15Speaker 2: how we're gonna help people, what we're gonna do, and
- 9:17Speaker 2: you're the greatest fight.
- 9:18Speaker 1: Of God created. He put that fire in me.
- 9:24Speaker 2: Everything about his life was about me, and so I
- 9:27Speaker 2: never had a father, but I know what it's like
- 9:30Speaker 2: to want to make a father happy, and so I
- 9:32Speaker 2: wanted to be champion to make him happy.
- 9:34Speaker 1: I had to deal with demons with that.
- 9:36Speaker 2: So that was that kind of person that really my
- 9:38Speaker 2: jectives was just to hurt people as much as possible,
- 9:41Speaker 2: you know, not just peace, but it used to really
- 9:43Speaker 2: hurt them. But they never forget me, and that was
- 9:45Speaker 2: just my goal. That's what I learned from cuts. That's
- 9:48Speaker 2: all I knew. And I never experienced that my love
- 9:51Speaker 2: was hurting people. The more people I hurt, the more
- 9:53Speaker 2: love I received. And on one stage, I was a guard,
- 9:57Speaker 2: but I just didn't know what to do.
- 9:59Speaker 1: I was on the cloud. I was like, I didn't
- 10:00Speaker 1: know what to do.
- 10:01Speaker 2: I was there, I got sucking into all my vices, women, drinking, parties, spending,
- 10:07Speaker 2: and he just took a toll on me, took a
- 10:10Speaker 2: toll on my self esteem, took a toll on my
- 10:12Speaker 2: my whole in a barometer, so to speak, that whole.
- 10:15Speaker 1: That guy had to die.
- 10:16Speaker 2: That guy had to no longer exist in my life
- 10:18Speaker 2: in order to me to survive in the new world.
- 10:21Speaker 2: You were, Yeah, the guy from the past is no
- 10:23Speaker 2: longer projected anything kindly to my future. So he had
- 10:27Speaker 2: to die and I had to be a different person.
- 10:31Speaker 1: There's so much power on humbleness. But I know the
- 10:34Speaker 1: power of humbleness. Now, how did you learn that I
- 10:37Speaker 1: have to lose everything and it's not about me, you know?
- 10:42Speaker 2: Well, spiking of me. I learned gratitude. This is what
- 10:46Speaker 2: I learned from life. Kicking my ass. I learned gratitude. Gratitude,
- 10:52Speaker 2: we don't know how to be kind to us. I
- 10:53Speaker 2: stoed up being kind to myself with you know how
- 10:55Speaker 2: a girl and buying a bunch of cars and planes
- 10:58Speaker 2: or stuff and house that would be nice to myself.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Being nice to myself was just being grateful for what
- 11:03Speaker 2: I had and that one anymore. I didn't know happiness
- 11:07Speaker 2: was in between my brain. I didn't know that. I
- 11:10Speaker 2: thought happiness was things. You know, it's all about peace
- 11:16Speaker 2: and love when it comes down to the situation or
- 11:18Speaker 2: it comes to peace and love. My whole life, I
- 11:20Speaker 2: was taught about ferocity, viciousness, fear and inflicting and stuff
- 11:25Speaker 2: and all my life.
- 11:26Speaker 1: I found out that was a lie.
- 11:28Speaker 2: And I found out it was all about being humble
- 11:31Speaker 2: and you know, subserving and giving the people and loving
- 11:34Speaker 2: people and forgiving people for mistakes and shit and coming
- 11:38Speaker 2: to grips with that is just overwhelming. You know, sometimes
- 11:41Speaker 2: I cry a lot because I you know, I've been
- 11:43Speaker 2: living a life that was wrong all these years. I
- 11:47Speaker 2: felt all the pain I ever caught somebody, all the
- 11:50Speaker 2: pain I ever caused people in my journey in this world.
- 11:54Speaker 2: I thought the pain. I couldn't apologize enough. You know,
- 11:59Speaker 2: some times it's hard to say to yourself. You know,
- 12:01Speaker 2: I don't like myself, but I don't know how to change.
- 12:07Speaker 1: We don't want to look and face who we are.
- 12:10Speaker 2: We live a life trying to hide out who we are,
- 12:12Speaker 2: to have a secrets, instead of trying.
- 12:15Speaker 1: To live open.
- 12:16Speaker 2: That's the reason that we have mates and get married
- 12:19Speaker 2: because we can't live by ours, with ourselves, not by ourselves,
- 12:21Speaker 2: but with ourselves.
- 12:23Speaker 1: People say we can't live alone, know we can't.
- 12:25Speaker 2: Live with ourselves, and most of us experience just being
- 12:28Speaker 2: with ourselves and our thoughts in our path. Sometimes the
- 12:33Speaker 2: child can make you a person that you are. It
- 12:37Speaker 2: makes your success, can make your sell. It depends on
- 12:42Speaker 2: how you planning to use it. It's just what we
- 12:46Speaker 2: do here and what we leave behind our journey is
- 12:48Speaker 2: really what counts. But just leaving here knowing that you
- 12:52Speaker 2: were kind to people, and people say he was a
- 12:54Speaker 2: kind person, he was a good person, and you gave
- 12:56Speaker 2: him the best you had. You gave life the best
- 12:58Speaker 2: you had. You just lifted all on the concrete. You
- 13:01Speaker 2: know you don't hold anything back. You know life is
- 13:04Speaker 2: just preparing you for death.
- 13:06Speaker 1: That's what life is. It's pretty much a blueprint to death.
- 13:11Speaker 2: Just treat the world like you want the world to
- 13:12Speaker 2: treat you, and give the world everything you have, give
- 13:18Speaker 2: it everything you got. I'm aware that a lot of
- 13:22Speaker 2: people next to me and watch me and may look
- 13:25Speaker 2: up to me and think I'm a certain kind of guy.
- 13:27Speaker 1: I'm a good guy, but they have to.
- 13:28Speaker 2: Understand that I'm not worthy of praise when the God
- 13:32Speaker 2: is worthy of praise. How you look at YouTube and
- 13:35Speaker 2: I see guys have Mike Tyson Immortal, Mike Tyson God, and.
- 13:40Speaker 1: I'm not worthy of that. I'm always just Mike
- 14:00Speaker 2: M
