Saki supplies the speed. Against taller heavyweights, Gökhan Saki's fast combinations give Boxing Game's retrospective its central contrast: the smaller man delivering the heavier-looking exchanges.
The video has added roughly 71,000 views in a day, almost eight times its usual daily pace. That accounts for about half its total audience so far, six days after publication.
Despite the Mike Tyson comparison in the title, this is a kickboxing documentary, assembled from archive match footage and narration. It follows the Dutch-born Turkish fighter through bouts with Melvin Manhoef, Paul Slowinski and Alistair Overeem before reaching his Glory light heavyweight championship path.
The early Slowinski section makes the video's premise particularly clear: Saki works against the taller opponent with combinations and body punches. Later, the focus shifts to Istanbul, where Nathan Corbett and Tyrone Spong stand between him and the tournament title.
Tyson is already a major presence in Boxing Game's archive, including a young-Tyson retrospective with more than ten million views. Here, the nickname introduces a different fighter's career rather than another chapter of Tyson's own.
Among the comments, viewers return to memories of K-1 and the force of Saki's punches. The retrospective gives those memories a route through the bouts, ending with his Glory belt.
