During his lengthy career, Mike Tyson had 50 wins, 44 of which were knockouts (KOs). Perhaps his most notable KO was his 1988 match against Michael Spinks, which ended 91 seconds into the first round. Tyson also knocked out Trevor Berbick in the second round of their 1986 bout to become the world’s youngest heavyweight champion. Tyson was known for a peekaboo boxing style, which involved keeping his hands close to his cheeks and constantly bobbing in the boxing ring. This made his defense almost impenetrable. Tyson also had a quickness and aggression that overwhelmed opponents.
