A tidal disruption event (TDE) is an astronomical phenomenon in which apreviously dormant black hole (BH) destroys a star passing too close to itscentral part. We analyzed the flaring episode detected from the TDE sources,Swift~J1644+57 and Swift J2058+05 using RXTE, Swift and Suzaku data. Thespectra are well fitted by the so called Bulk Motion Comptonization model forwhich the best-fit photon index Gamma varies from 1.1 to 1.8. We have firmlyestablished the saturation of Gamma versus mass accretion rate at Gamma_{sat}about 1.7 -- 1.8. The saturation of Gamma is usually identified as a signatureof a BH now established in Swift~J1644+57 and Swift J2058+05. In Swift~J1644+57we found the relatively low Gamma_{sat} values which indicate a high electron(plasma) temperature, kT_e ~ 30 -- 40 keV. This is also consistent with highcutoff energies, E_{cut} ~ 60 -- 80 keV found using best fits of the RXTEspectra. Swift~J2058+05 shows a lower electron temperature, kT_e ~ 4-10 keVthan that for Swift~J1644+57. For the BH mass estimate we used the scalingtechnique taking the Galactic BHs, GRO J1655--40, GX~339--4, Cyg~X--1 and4U~1543--47 as reference sources and found that the BH mass in Swift~J1644+57is M_{BH}> 7x10^6 solar masses assuming the distance to this of 1.5 Gpc. ForSwift J2058+05 we obtain M_{BH}> 2x 10^7 solar masses assuming the distance tothis source of 3.7 Gpc.
