Mike Tyson's Undisputed Truth - Review

When you hear the name Mike Tyson these days, you think of the bite incident with Evander Holyfield, boxing greatness, Broadway, and movies.  Here in the "Undisputed Truth", Mike Tyson brings his entire life and these aspects of his life in full circle in his one man show which played at the Imperium Theater last week in NYC while filming the show for a HBO special.  The show had a very good, cut length of a little under two hours but during the show I had trouble understanding and hearing what Mike was saying do to the lowness of the volume in the theater required to film the special.  That was upsetting for me because I wanted to hear everything Mike said.  The introduction of a mixture of music and his entrance to the show was very cool.  He started off talking about his childhood being involved in lots of crime and moving around a lot.  It was remarkable to see lots of images of him growing up and into his boxing career on the back screen.  I found it so amazing at how he overcame many things as a youngster to become the successful fighter he became.  It was also interesting to see how he shared his personal feelings and regrets that he had amongst his family members with no sweat.  He got emotional at times, but broke through and stuck out the show with ease.  Mike also had you cracking up hysterically the entire show because he found a way to break his negatives with laughs which is very hard to do.  The show goes on and on about his career and his stand/views on what he accomplished and was interesting to see the one great fighter tell it all.  This is a show to watch to show to many different audiences who will definitely appreciate Tyson's show.  Keep an eye out for it on HBO!

Rating - 3/5
