Because Cus was in his 70s, he didn’t have the energy to be Tyson’s primary trainer in conducting sparring sessions and roadwork.

Where was Kevin Rooney?Īny casual boxing fan from the mid-to-late 1980s knows that the trainer who had the most success with Mike Tyson was D’Amato’s protege Rooney. D’Amato immediately fired Atlas and this was the first inexcusable error of the documentary. Atlas responded by approaching Tyson with a gun and firing a gun shot in the air that scared the bejesus out of the prodigal son of D’Amato. The young girl told Atlas that Tyson had groped her. The documentary focused on Tyson being trained by Teddy Atlas and present day Atlas explained what it was like dealing with a young Tyson and the alleged incident involving Tyson and an 11-year-old in-law of Atlas. The archival videos of a young Tyson training under D’Amato’s tutelage showcased the raw and natural ability Tyson had as a puncher in his early teens. The vast majority of Mike Tyson fans know the backstory of Tyson’s less-than-humble beginnings growing up in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn and then ultimately winding up under the care of legendary boxing trainer Cus D’Amato. In an attempt to replicate that same success, last Monday night ABC, the network arm of ESPN/Disney, premiered the first part of Mike Tyson: The Knockout. He's still one of the best heavyweight boxing champions of all time and even after watching this show and feeling like I know him more, I don't, so my opinion won't change.Last year ESPN scored huge ratings with the multipart Michael Jordan: The Last Dance. It's entertaining and well put together, no matter the way the show goes my view on Mike Tyson isn't going to change. Whether it's all true or not I'm not sure, and I love mike Tyson but I have my own life and I watch this show for entertainment that's it. The rape scene is where I assume he wouldn't definitely not approve of and honestly at this point I'm just typing words cause I guess you need to write 600 characters in order to make a review but I said what I said, I'm making an unbiased review, it's a good show, well acted, well written, and that's it. Whether it's all the true or not only mike Tyson knows, and I'm not gonna take another persons telling of someone's life to heart, but all I know is, it's a good show. I wish Mike had more to do with the production but if it were me I wouldn't want this show to air either, but it's a good show. I understand how lots of people might give it a low score because Mike Tyson doesn't approve of the show, but the show itself is really good and very deep.
