The Most Insanely Brutal Mike Tyson Knockout Of All Time

Boxing legend Mike Tyson has put on a storied career in the sweet science. With a bevy of knockout victories to his name, the pugilist quickly earned a reputation as one of the most dangerous men on the planet. However, few of the boxing legend’s epic finishes lived up to the stunning knockout performance over Clifford Etienne.

Tyson faced off against Etienne back in 2003. The match up took place inside the The Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee. Of course, the fight did not last long.

Tyson and Etienne squared off for the Memphis crowd, with Tyson setting off a flurry of punches early on in the match. Etienne was unable to withstand the beating and dropped after a devastating hook from his opponent. The boxer made no attempt to rise back from the canvas, seemingly dazed from the strike. The fight was called off 49 seconds into the first round.
