Between Holly Holm’s stunning upset victory over Ronda Rousey’s last week and the looming showdown between Miguel Cotto and Canelo Alvarez this weekend, there’s been lots of fight news around recently. So it seems fitting that, on Throwback Thursday, we look back to one of Mike Tyson’s early fights.

Iron Mike Tyson became known for throwing lightning-fast, brutally hard punches — hence the name — and he helped establish that reputation as an amateur. He won two Junior Olympics gold medals before turning professional, including this one as a 15-year-old in 1981 over Joe Cortez. The fight lasted just nine seconds.

Just look at the decisive punch to the neck that ended it.

Tyson literally punches Cortez IN THE NECK so hard that the referee calls the fight after nine seconds. Ouch.
