MIKE TYSON
Iron Fighter Poem

The youngest heavyweight boxing champ
Mike Tyson leads the fighting camp.
Famous for his scary megapower
he’ll be remembered as boxing tower.

Considered for the most talented fighter
known as the typical boxer - type “striker”.
“The Iron” was determined as his nickname
generally welcomed into the hall of fame.

Cus D’Amato taught him as his own son
and Tyson shined in the ring like the sun!
He’s one of the pillars of the universe
and good character (on the reverse).

Specialists say he is a piece of native gold,
so, forever about Mike Tyson will be told.
Acknowledged as master of perfect knock out
every boxer watchfully should look out.

Rapidly started the burning fighting spirit
Tyson wishing for victory had no limit.
Winning with the most atractive kind of fight
sometimes with “left”, sometimes with “right”.

He is the boxer of the twentieth century
going to his matches was adventury.
There will never be another like Tyson
his star forever in the glory will rise on!

Quite incredible was his ultimate speed,
with accurate precise strikes he could lead,
with devastating hooks never seen before
spectators didn’t need anything more.

If you’re going against his iron fists
this will put you on dangerous risks.
Immediately he’ll send you on the floor
And make you knock on heaven’s door.

Tyson was traveling on the road of glory,
but for him could be written a human story.
Deep into his soul he is an excellent friend
and to buy expensive presents was his trend.

He had such an enormous generous heart,
always was smiling, but in fights hit hard.
Spent far more then 300 million dollars,
but gave joy for friends in various colours.

Tyson was so incredibly naive sometimes -
judges got lies of non-existing crimes.
The Government put him unjustly in jail -
belief in justice was destined to fail.

He used to be so much more trustful-
for truth nowadays he does no more dusting.
He loves to watch pigeons fly in the sky
and ask himself the reason why.

If Tyson was practicing every day seriously
he would be unbeaten and winning furiously.
If he had a perfect physical condition
victories would follow his own tradition.

Black trunks and shoes he wore in tradition
Tyson was winning in a way of demolition.
He dedicated this whole exhibition of victory
in honour of Cus D’Amato is famous history.

His time in boxing history was the peak
and every generation about him will speak.
His punches possessed tremendous strenght
list of the defeated would have a longer length.

He created the most ever spectacular fights
people admired them like remarkable sights.
Tyson remains the most popular of all times
completion of his career creates rhymes.

In the ring he was hitting so powerfully
everyone needed to approache him carefully.
With his manner between the ropes
he gaved people the highest hopes.

Tyson terrorized heavyweight division
he got real success into a row collision,
long period was invincible & undisputed
if he had a chance would be undefeated.

Long time prestigious belts tell
opponents were rarely saved by the bell.
Also known for the most devastating punch
he cut his opponents with a crunch.

He was fought with sharpness and dynamic
the power and precision were satanic.
In Brooklyn he had a tough childhood
and united poor people in brotherhood.

As Kid Dynamite Tyson was also known
and the youngest successor with a crown.
Because of the attraction of The Dinosaur
the people were watching TV still more.

He has twenty years in professional boxing
and practiced the ultimate de-toxing.
Tyson has accomplished a record fifty wins
these are excellent achievements in the rings.

In boxing The Iron Mike was an artist
painting the space with a hard fist.
His persona has always something mystical
he has always been seen as somethin’ mythical!

Audience of million fans his career was created
a quite different boxing style he innovated.
His fights were premiere to brave and fearless
considering that his presence will live endless!

Of the fighting forceful spirit he was a core
in boxing history he has made a value score.
His name will always stay in the alley of glory
future generations will tell about him a story!!

P.S. For the 43rd birthday of Iron Mike Tyson!
