Hector Mercedes was a journeyman boxer who got knocked out in Mike Tyson's pro debut in 1985. 'Iron Mike' is one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. The 55-year-old retired from professional boxing in 2005 after a twenty-year career that saw him claim multiple world titles.

'Iron Mike' was scheduled to face Halpin - a more experienced journeyman who held a record of ten wins, 18 losses at the time. Halpin used this experience to survive early on, though Tyson admittedly appeared to start far slower than he had in his first two wins.

In the fourth of this scheduled six-rounder, Tyson decided to dramatically increase the tempo.
