Mitch "Blood" Green
At TPO (time and place of occurance) I almost had to arrest a pro boxer that went 10 rounds with Mike Tyson, back when Tyson was in his prime (pre ear biting days). Saturday night in front of a night club he got in an argument with the clubs manager. The police were called so that's when I enter the scene. It took about 20 minutes but myself and a few other officers managed to get all 6'5'' of this heavy weight to walk away and leave the club manager alone.
This is the same Mitch Green that Tyson got in a street fight with in Harlem. And the same Mitch Green that was notorious as a gang banger in the Bronx and Harlem and fought with police in the past. Maybe he's mellowed out since then...
This page has Tyson Vs Green background info, including the street fight.
When Mike Tyson and Mitch "Blood' Green came together in Madison Square Garden, the event was fraught with sub-plots. Mike Tyson was a street legend in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, while Bronx born, Mitch "Blood" Green, was called by many The King of the New York Street Gangs. The notorious "Blood" Green was credited with being the inspiration for the violent portrayal of gang life in the motion picture"The Warrior".
