Jose Ribalta made the ultimate mistake before stepping into the ring with a 20-year-old Iron Mike Tyson. Standing at 6'6", the Cuban heavyweight looked down at the future champion and told the press: "He’s not a smart fighter, he just relies on strength." Ribalta believed he could survive the early onslaught and watch Tyson gas out in the later rounds. He was wrong. In one of the most brutal heavyweight boxing displays of the 1980s, Mike Tyson didn't just look for a quick knockout—he delivered a 10-round masterclass in punishment. This 1986 classic at Trump Plaza saw Ribalta take over 200 power shots, including a legendary uppercut that sent his mouthpiece flying. 🥊💥 Despite being dropped three times, Ribalta's "iron chin" earned him the title of the toughest man Tyson ever fought. Mike later admitted that the body shots Ribalta landed left him in the most physical pain he’d ever felt after a fight. Don't forget to subscribe for more boxing event previews and boxing history!
