Man that’s one badass Cuban because he took an ass kicking that I’ve ever seen someone took punishment like he did against Tyson in this fight. He was very durable and unafraid, he stood in there and traded fists with Tyson.

Mike was a young, improving fighter when he fought Jose Ribalta; it was a step up in opposition for him. Ribalta was ranked No. 10 in the world when Tyson fought him. He was 6 feet 6 inches and was a tough, durable fighter that had pushed fighters like Bonecrusher Smith and Marvis Frazier to the limit. Ribalta was strong, had a good chin, and had a good heart.

This was a very entertaining fight; you can watch it here:
