@rilenixx Oh yeah I know what you mean. I also heard that Tyson literally did no exercise for three months before the bout and was eating ice cream and pork chops and blocks of lard all the time, and partied so hard the night before that his heart stopped and he was legally dead for ten minutes and had to be revived with adrenaline shots. And then Whitney Houston doused him with gasoline and set him on fire so he had to dive into the pool to put the flames out, and then had to be rescued and given mouth to mouth by bobby brown and LL cool Jay. Oh and that he then tested positive for HIV and leprosy the morning the morning before the bout, and that his hand fell off when they were putting his gloves one and has to be sewn back on to his wrist. Get out of here with these excuses! Tyson always struggled against boxer punchers who were very good, and Douglas cleaned his clock, was beating Tyson to the punch all fight. Tyson didn’t fight as well as he usually did and didn’t move his head as much, but he was totally dominated by Douglas. Tyson got it together in the third round and started to look like his usually self but then Douglas got on top of him again in the 4th. Douglas opened-up in the 8th and slipped up, getting knocked-down by Tyson, but he got up and could clearly continue so he got a king count, and that was a wake up for him and he got it back together. He caught Tyson good in the next round and then got him with that combo in the 10th. Tyson’s mouthguard was hanging out and he was about to wobble over. It was the right result. Nobody’s invincible and Tyson had mostly fought out-fighters up until then, whom his style suited, but he wasn’t so dominant against boxer-punchers (nor against sluggers) and Douglas was actually a very good and skilful boxer-puncher (just not that motivated).

@Jumpman90 What are you talking about? Most top boxers are good guys outside of the ring, actual bad guys like Golota or Mayweather junior are the exceptions. And Douglas was a successful fighter. He had a decent career statistically and was undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. He only had that ruined by Don King.

@willstanfield60 No it wasn’t, the ref’ counted to ten which Douglas milked before getting to his feet on time, but then the ref’ checked so he could make sure that Douglas was up to continuing the fight, it’s called a long count and it’s part of boxing, and the right thing to do.

@mattcollier1263 Oh okay, was it his stunt double getting his clock cleaned or something?
3
@akalksander9184 Not true. He was a highly skilled boxer-puncher and had many good bouts.

@michaelsmiley2828 Why? What skin is it off your nose? Did you have money on him or something?
2
@harryking4007 What are you talking about? He outboxed Tyson, winning most of the rounds and beating Tyson to the jab. And he’d had other good bouts, like when he narrowly lost to Tony Tucker for the IBF title.
2
@Jumpman90 He showed more than enough of a mean streak when he beat Berbick and McCall.

@rilenixx Why would I pay any attention to someone who can’t tell the difference between a knock down and a knock out? You don’t know anything about Boxing. You just like Tyson because he gives you a false feeling of the confidence and bravado you lack.

@rilenixx How is it that you are still replying when it is very obvious that you don’t know anything about boxing? Don’t you have any self awareness? In case you never heard the voice: The count is done at the discretion of the referee, not by a clock. It’s the ref’s count to 10, not ten actual seconds. If the referee’s count had been aligned exactly with seconds, Buster would’ve still waited until the 8th and got up anyway. Because Buster wasn't knocked out, he was still fine to continue the fight. You have no point. Try growing up and facing it: Tyson lost fair and square. There’s no such thing as an invincible fighter and as good as Tyson was, he wasn’t all that. Tyson always struggled against opponents with a boxer-puncher style who were good because he would get beaten to the punch. Look at how much hard work he made of beating Tony Tucker, even after Tucker broke his hand.

Oh for crying out loud! Ofcourse he never got lucky, he boxed damn well, and out boxed Tyson, dominating him in most rounds. Tyson always had problems against good quality boxer-punchers, who could beat him to the jab. In fact Tyson; was never completely on top of good sluggers (Like Ruddock & Bruno) either. Yes Tyson was outstanding, but he wasn’t unstoppable. All good heavyweight swarmer’s see have early history’s of fearsome fast victories and look unstoppable; Dempsey, Marciano, Patterson, Frazier, Norton, and then Tyson. But then they reach the top and inevitably fight guys better equipped to handle & not quickly go down to them.

@mattkylie6723 What a bunch of crud…

@mattkylie6723 Thanks for further confirmation that you’re both not smart and have personality issues. Seems to be a common theme amongst hardcore Tyson fanboys. I suppose Tyson must reassure the very insecure…

@mattkylie6723 And you're also running away. No I'm not a "Tyson hater", in fact I consider him the best swarmer of his era, I am grateful for the attention he brought back to the sport, and I enjoy his exciting bouts (especially the early ones). Just because someone doesn't mindlessly worship him (like you do) doesn't mean that they hate him. It just means I'm objective and know what I'm talking about.

@mattkylie6723 I don't think you could've made a worse comeback. Don't try and pass off authoritative-sounding takes on boxing when it's clear you know next to nothing about the sport. You get laughed at easy.

Oh yeah he’s a great guy and fair sport, same with Tony Tucker.

@rilenixx I got as far as your second paragraph. Tyson never knocked out Douglas. You don’t even know what a knockout is. He knocked DOWN Douglas, not the same thing as knock out, but Douglas was clearly more than up to continuing the fight, and waited until the 8 second count before getting up. If you’d ever actually tried to take up boxing for yourself you would know that that’s what coaches tell you to do if you get knocked down but can get up again; wait until the 8th second. And Douglas had been all over Tyson up to that knock down. And if you actually listened to this show before commenting: You’d also know that Don King deliberately sabotaged Douglas’s training to defend his championship by dragging him into frivolous lawsuits and all over the North American continent. Yeah he lost his first defence (plenty of champs have): To a boxer better than Tyson was. Take your BS excuses somewhere else. You Tyson worshippers are just as childish and annoying as the Tyson haters who claim he only lost when he fought anyone good….

@rilenixx I’m hurling petty insults at you because of your petty excuses to deny the plain truth. If you actually watched more boxing; You’d know that that was a regular count from the referee. They’re almost always longer than actual seconds, and their count to ten almost always takes an actual 12-15 seconds. It’s still a moot point because Douglas was fine and waiting for the count to reach 8 before getting up. And on top of that; It was the same ten count that Tyson failed to beat. And it’s a count to ten that they have to beat not a clock. Those are the Queensberry rules. You have no argument, grow up and drop the little kid excuses. You come across like the sort of person that Tyson in person would probably hate.
1
@rilenixx I didn’t read anything beyond the accusation of “projecting” (pathetic). You have no argument and you know not much about the sport of boxing. That’s all that needs to be said.
1
@hal2k19 But so what? It was up to a Tyson to be in good enough shape to fight Douglas. If he showed up below his peak, then that’s on him, and he still lost.
1
@josh-uy5pe FFS why would I need a stop watch for? It’s always been a count of the referee, not actual seconds.

Douglas bs Tucker was a great bout, one of the best of that unifying series, and sadly forgotten now. Tucker & Douglas were both unfairly underrated in my opinion.
