Mike Tyson vs Michael Johnson
The fight was against Michael Johnson in 1985 (Tyson was 19-years-old) and was settled after just 39 seconds.
The KO was set up by this vicious left hook to Johnson’s side. It was so hard that it sent Johnson crumpling
to the ground for his first knockdown of the night. Had that right hook Tyson threw after it connected,
it probably would have been game over right there.

Mike Tyson vs Don Halpin
'Iron Mike' was scheduled to face Halpin - a more experienced journeyman who held a record of ten wins, 18 losses at the time.
Halpin used this experience to survive early on, though Tyson admittedly appeared to start far slower than he had in his first two wins.
The fight commentator noted, "It's almost as if his corner have said to him, 'Listen, you don't have to win every fight inside one round.'"
In the fourth of this scheduled six-rounder, Tyson decided to dramatically increase the tempo.
