If you have any interest in boxing whatsover, Mike Tyson highlight reels are just ridiculous. A small, underweight heavyweight, he just had so much speed, precision and power. This highlights video in particular is amazing, as it integrates Street Fighter music and sound effects perfectly.
It’s cool partly because of how blatantly Capcom ripped off Mike Tyson’s likeness back in the day. Balrog, as you are probably already aware, was based on Mike Tyson and actually called M. Bison in Japan. In the west they switched names with Balrog, meaning main boss in Street Fighter II is called M. Bison and not the boxer, who was changed to Balrog.
So yeah, pretty cool to see the two matched up in this way.
