@@robert-lz9qf definitely nothing wrong with the count, it's a ten count, not a "ten seconds per a stopwatch". Mike got same time, and HBO shows that it is the average time for a 10ct. BUT, I'm not sure Buster could've gotten up any more than maybe 1 second sooner. Yes he pounded his glove, but his legs were shot there for a moment, and he looked like it took all his effort to make it to his feet. He recovered quickly next round but at that very moment I think his legs were gone.

He became champ and became everybody's favourite, even though he was always the smallest man in the ring. He overcame so many opponents that were bigger than him and highly skilled. But fear was his friend. When the opponent was scared, they didn't stand a chance. Mike was the nightmare man. EVERYONE was scared for Buster, except Buster. EVERYONE was scared for Evander, except Evander. He was consistent, but in a poor era, and never got to be as good as he could have become by fighting better guys and staying strictly disciplined.

Its not 10 seconds, its a count of 10, two very different things. The ref''s count is final. Also the state of Mike during and at the end of the respective counts was very different. Buster was punching the floor in frustration and trying to time his standing up to maximise recovery showing to the ref that he was not in too bad a state. Mike was trying to grab his gum shield and was not fully aware at the count of 10 and the ref clearly responded to that.

Buster went on to fight Holyfield later on in 1990, fought an awful fight and got blown away in just three rounds. He basically took his $24 000 000 and retired from boxing. Holyfield then lost the title to Riddick Bowe in 1992 while Tyson only got another title shot in March of 1996 when he beat Frank Bruno for the second time to get his WBC belt back. He then gave that belt up to challenge WBA champ Bruce Seldon whom he beat without even raising a sweat. Then came the two consecutive defeats to Holyfield and Tyson's aura of invincibility was gone for good. You see, Mike's prime was already over when he fought Douglas, he just was not aware of it. He was a shooting star from the time he turned pro to the time he fought and beat Michael Spinks in June of 1988. After that fight he never looked that good against top opposition in the ring again.

@@oldironsides4107 true but mike wouldn’t ended up on his back if the ref was doing a proper count. Let’s say he had and buster got counted out. It still woulda exposed mike as no longer invincible his eye shut totally outboxed. They’d say it was a miricale he knocked buster out and they’d be right. So even if mike escaped with the win via the ref doing his job, the fight woulda still wrecked Mike’s image. Hed have gone on to defend vs Holyfield and it wouldn’t end much different than Douglas vs holy did. So either way buster did his job that night even if the ref didn’t but it wouldn’t change the course mikes life was heading down and blowing off training. He was heading for defeat, buster got to him first and the ref slow counted there never shoulda been a round 10 for mike to lose in because in the eyes of anyone who can count there was an 8th round knockout but again it wouldn’t change much in the boxing picture. Mike woulda lost vs holy after barely escaping Douglas, his “tune up fight” for holy. Even when mike put buster down in the 8th mikes face was already mangled and busters wasn’t. Mike shoulda still won but its just as well that he didn’t. At least he can blame that face on losing. Id hate to look like that after a win while the other guy looks fine and carry around the damaged pride that not only you but the whole world knows you were lucky to get that one punch to win the fight after getting beat down for 8 straight rounds. Id rather take the loss and just own up to it, but a loss isn’t what shoulda happened. Maybe it’s a good thing for mike that he did lose. Again too embarassing to get your ass beat face mangled and win by one lucky punch when you have the ego and pride and the whole world at the time thinks you’re invincible.

It isn't a 10 second rule, it's a 10 second count. The referee looks back at the timeskeeper ringside to align their count with the timeskeeper who is keeping the real count. A common misconception is that boxers get 10 seconds flat, they do not, it depends on when the timeskeeper starts the count and the referee makes sure that their count is lined up correctly with the timeskeeper. Sometimes it's a little fast, sometimes it's a little slow, but that's boxing.

For me Douglas beat Tyson fairly, it was a slightly long count but he was lucid straight away cursing himself for being hit by the uppercut. Contrast that to Tyson who was all over the place when he got knocked out. Tyson had a bad night partly because he underestimated his opponent. I'm sure if they'd fought again Tyson would have won but that's not the point. Tyson's team should have accepted the defeat and moved on rather than ruining Douglas 'moment.

From what i saw the ref counted exactly the same both times, buster moved and went to his corner after the knockdown, allowing the ref time to start his count sooner than when he had to get tyson to his to start. Mike lost, it was very clear i dont know how you can see this and argue that he won that fight, hes even saying he didn't win. Also buster was very much able to get up before 5 or 6 if he wanted to

Yes he pounded his glove, but his legs were shot there for a moment, and he looked like it took all his effort to make it to his feet. He recovered quickly next round but at that very moment I think his legs were gone.
Tysons head movement was off that night, if it were the Tyson who had beat ribalta buster would be out in 1 round. Look at the uppercut which knocked down Douglas then look at the uppercut which knocked down ribalta
Tyson partied literally all night with bobby brown and a bunch of tokyo groupies the night before the fight. This , combined with tyson underestimating buster douglas, is what cost tyson the fight. Mike is in a much better place since those days. Hopefully mr. Douglas is doing well also. Great warriors, both.
None of that stuff matters. All that matters is what happened in the ring. If Buster lost, he could have said his mother died a week before. Buster fought a great fight. His jab was snapping. He just didn’t have it in him to be a consistent fighter. (In my opinion).
Saw that interview of Bobby Brown. Much Respect to Mike for not making any excuses.
I once read an interview, can’t remember who, and they said that you declare yourself fit when you step on the field, and I think that is correct. I also read an interview with Carl Froch, and he said he always boxed with some kind of injury, and so did everyone else, so excuses are just that. Tyson was off the rails by then, so defeat was a matter of time, and besides he is just a human being.
That's what happens when he disrespected the sport.
@@conormurphy7058 I dunno. I think Mike consistently overcame, but was always overrated due to his fan friendly, ferocious style. He became champ and became everybody's favourite, even though he was always the smallest man in the ring. He overcame so many opponents that were bigger than him and highly skilled. But fear was his friend. When the opponent was scared, they didn't stand a chance. Mike was the nightmare man. EVERYONE was scared for Buster, except Buster. EVERYONE was scared for Evander, except Evander. He was consistent, but in a poor era, and never got to be as good as he could have become by fighting better guys and staying strictly disciplined.
Upset of the Century, the fight that shocked the world. The greatest upset in boxing history. Buster Douglas, a 42-1 underdog rose from an 8th round knock down only to score a stunning 10th round KO of the previously unbeaten and seemingly invincible Mike Tyson in Tokyo.

@user-si4nt5gt9b lame comment. Tyson absolutely had a chin. Watch his fight with Razor Ruddick just to name one. Tyson could have been the greatest 100% but that doesn’t mean anything now as it’s ancient history. He didn’t have one single person in his corner and in the back ground that he came up with. Cus, Kevin Rooney, Jim Jacob’s, Bill Clayton all were gone. Guess what happened to Ali when Angelo Dundee wasn’t in his corner? Yep you guessed, he lost and was TKO’d. these are huge factors my friend. I agree Ali is the greatest though.
@user-si4nt5gt9b I think there is a hell of a good possibility that prime Tyson could have destroyed Ali. Tyson was a hell of a lot better fighter than Joe Frazier was. As far as God given talent, they both have that. Ali is superior in the toughness and self belief department, but Tyson is superior in the physical department.
Mike is an honest gentleman. I read his book. He is very smart .
@user-si4nt5gt9b Ali lost to Frazier. Ali lost to guys who were far from as good as Holyfield. And you sound absolutely ridiculous downplaying the impact Cus D'Amato's death had on Tyson.

TWO GREATEST FIGHTS of 1990 were Douglas v Tyson and Taylor vs Chavez....hands down two fights that had unexpected endings.
Its not 10 seconds, its a count of 10, two very different things. The ref''s count is final. Also the state of Mike during and at the end of the respective counts was very different. Buster was punching the floor in frustration and trying to time his standing up to maximise recovery showing to the ref that he was not in too bad a state. Mike was trying to grab his gum shield and was not fully aware at the count of 10 and the ref clearly responded to that.
Correct 💯
Exactly!
During this time, tyson was considered invincible and undefeatable. This fight took place before social media existed , and i was away at college, so i didnt see the fight or images of buster douglas for some time. When i heard the news of tyson being ko'ed, i was bewildered and wondered "what kind of a monstrous animal could possibly knock out Iron Mike Tyson??!!?". 😂😂😂
Ur writing sh that every single person here already knows lol
Well, Douglas was actually bigger than Tyson, and in reality, probably stronger. But fighting, at that level, is 90% mental and 10% physical, when they're all roughly even. They're ALL big and strong.
Same here. In college. When i heard, shocking.
Oliver McCall told Tyson's whole team not to underestimate Douglas after his own fight with him. Tyson had the chance to be fully prepared for his opponent, and he didn't. He still fought a great fight, but at the end of the day, he lost. What happened, happened.
Also, Tony Tucker said that Buster Douglas & Lennox Lewis were the best opponents he ever faced, and he never mentioned Tyson (and Tucker fought Mike in 1987!!)
I really like how Mike handled himself and acknowledged that Buster won the fight. Larry Merchant was doing his best to cause controversy . Think about how monumental this loss was, a similar defeat but to a legend, destroyed Foreman.and he disappeared for a while
I agree. If Larry Merchant asked me those questions, I would've answered wrongly. Mike was so well spoken even back then.
I thought he did, but he still says he won that fight. Love Mike but he got his as whipped. The count, you gotta go with whatever the officials say. If the ref would have said Buster didn't beat the count, that's how it woulda went, he didn't.
Were you alive when this fight actually happened? Larry Merchant was not just “trying to cause controversy.” Mike and Don King had made an attempt to get Douglas stripped of the title, and they were having to back off because of immense public outcry against them. Merchant would not have been doing his job if he hadn’t pressed Mike about it.
Yup, they even got the ref to say he made a mistake. The public outrage shut that right down though.
@@mozfonkyIt’s amazing to see all these young Tyson fans who weren’t even born when all this happened talking about the long count as a real issue. The public was outraged at what Tyson and (mostly, to be fair) Don King were trying to do. Their “long count” claims were being ridiculed, not taken remotely seriously.
The count synchronization stuff was cool and enlightening. Good stuff.
No sour grapes here but mike needed Kevin rooney
I dare say that no one would have beaten that version of Douglas, with or without Rooney.
No look at tyson he's stomach was popping out no abs no head movement looking for 1 shot no YES Douglas was great here and he's mum died just b4 but Rooney would have bought an ensyl for Tyson's eye if nothing else
Thats true its all up to the ref how fast or slow he counts.
Lets be real, the ref just didn't want the fight to stop 😂
Buster went on to fight Holyfield later on in 1990, fought an awful fight and got blown away in just three rounds. He basically took his $24 000 000 and retired from boxing. Holyfield then lost the title to Riddick Bowe in 1992 while Tyson only got another title shot in March of 1996 when he beat Frank Bruno for the second time to get his WBC belt back. He then gave that belt up to challenge WBA champ Bruce Seldon whom he beat without even raising a sweat. Then came the two consecutive defeats to Holyfield and Tyson's aura of invincibility was gone for good. You see, Mike's prime was already over when he fought Douglas, he just was not aware of it. He was a shooting star from the time he turned pro to the time he fought and beat Michael Spinks in June of 1988. After that fight he never looked that good against top opposition in the ring again.
Stop the foolishness! Tyson was never that great of a fighter to begin with. Yes, he had speed and power but he never beat anyone who was considered an all time great. NEVER!
@@lyrical20 True, but Tyson would never have lost to Douglas had he trained properly for the fight and I still think he was good enough to beat Holyfield before he went to prison. After prison it was a different story as Holyfield took him to school twice. Tyson's boxing skills diminished remarkably while he was in prison. He was still able to beat the Frank Bruno's and Bruce Seldon's of this world but not an elite fighter like Holyfield.

I was eating pizza at a local bar pizza place. When Tyson was ko's , I jumped up so high and was shouting and fist pumping. I was 23. I remember calling him a one eyed cyclops. To me, biggest upset of all time.
All cyclops are one eyed.
Buster was up at 14 clearly but the refs count was 9 and that’s what matters.
They both count the same count. Mike was knocked out a minute later hanging on the referee not complaining. Only winning about 10 seconds of the fighr
We should forget the count and go by the fight Douglas whooped mike bad with all those jabs
@@oldironsides4107 true but mike wouldn’t ended up on his back if the ref was doing a proper count. Let’s say he had and buster got counted out. It still woulda exposed mike as no longer invincible his eye shut totally outboxed. They’d say it was a miricale he knocked buster out and they’d be right. So even if mike escaped with the win via the ref doing his job, the fight woulda still wrecked Mike’s image. Hed have gone on to defend vs Holyfield and it wouldn’t end much different than Douglas vs holy did. So either way buster did his job that night even if the ref didn’t but it wouldn’t change the course mikes life was heading down and blowing off training. He was heading for defeat, buster got to him first and the ref slow counted there never shoulda been a round 10 for mike to lose in because in the eyes of anyone who can count there was an 8th round knockout but again it wouldn’t change much in the boxing picture. Mike woulda lost vs holy after barely escaping Douglas, his “tune up fight” for holy. Even when mike put buster down in the 8th mikes face was already mangled and busters wasn’t. Mike shoulda still won but its just as well that he didn’t. At least he can blame that face on losing. Id hate to look like that after a win while the other guy looks fine and carry around the damaged pride that not only you but the whole world knows you were lucky to get that one punch to win the fight after getting beat down for 8 straight rounds. Id rather take the loss and just own up to it, but a loss isn’t what shoulda happened. Maybe it’s a good thing for mike that he did lose. Again too embarassing to get your ass beat face mangled and win by one lucky punch when you have the ego and pride and the whole world at the time thinks you’re invincible.

Why what would happen?
Buster was still amped while shaking the hand
Traditionally, the fighter has to go by the ref's count. Douglas beat the count, won the fight fair and square.

And he was ready to get up at any time! His eyes were on the ref counting and when he did get up he continued to dominate the fight! Now let's look at tysons knock down 😆 he was a mess on the canvas looking for his gumshield.. Douglas won the fight.
his legs were gone watch him when he stands up@@jaydebeer7251
@@jaydebeer7251💯 Finally someone who understands!!!! He started to get up a 4 then he adjusted to the refs count and got up at 8
The count is supposed to be ten seconds according to the Marquess Of Queensberry Rules. 🤷🏽♂
Tyson wasn't prepared and fought terrible, but it's undeniable Douglas was knocked down way past 10 seconds!!
The ref did exactly what he was supposed to do. Buster beat Mike every round.
Buster was alert, and just took his count. If the count was faster, he would have gotten up faster. Tyson was not alert for his count.
Bla bla bla always finding an excuse, he just got his S kicked
@@EthnHayabusa for sure. Buster even hit the canvas with his glove like he knew he made a slip up. If the refs count was any higher he would have and could have easily gotten up faster.
Its the ref's count that counts. Mike got exactly the same speed count when he was KO'd in round 10, so there can be no whinging.
Remember this like yesterday. Recorded it on vhs
Pure class by Dempsey with his opinion of the ‘long count’.
13 seconds.....absolutely positively ZERO doubt about that.....
YES AND TYSON GOT A 14 SEC COUNT WHEN KOUT ISN'T THAT CRAZY...
It isn't a 10 second rule, it's a 10 second count. The referee looks back at the timeskeeper ringside to align their count with the timeskeeper who is keeping the real count. A common misconception is that boxers get 10 seconds flat, they do not, it depends on when the timeskeeper starts the count and the referee makes sure that their count is lined up correctly with the timeskeeper. Sometimes it's a little fast, sometimes it's a little slow, but that's boxing.

Should had a rematch Buster did not want to fight Mike Tyson again because he knew the outcome would been different.
That is factually wrong.
I remember this fight like it was yesterday. I was just a kid w/no interested in boxing. My Dad decided to take me to the neighbors house (who ordered the fight on ppv) & we watched this on cable. Even as a young mf'ing kid, you could feel the shock of Tyson losing to Douglas. I love boxing now & I'm grateful to have witnessed real history.
Mike Tyson wasn't in fight shape and condition for this fight and got his ass kicked. He didn't take it seriously until it was too late. He shouldn't have lost because he is the better fighter, but if you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. Buster Douglas did the exact samething his next fight. Didn't train and got fat, and got his ass kicked by a very small (non-steroid) holyfield. He would've done much better and probably won against Holyfield if he took the fight seriously. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
All made millions. So calm down princess. They trained harder than you ever have to get to that level.
Buster here looking and sounding like the student that robbed the bully of his breakfast 😂
Watched this fight live and to this day it haunts me and Mike Tyson the best heavy weight by a mile so far
funny how i had to press the 10 second rewind twice to get back to the start of the knockout
my respect to iron man .. he will always be the best in the world
The best in the world? He beat a bunch of nobodies and when fighters showed that they were not afraid of Tyson, he always lost.
@@perfectblindguyTyson beat a lot of people, even some of the best.
@@perfectblindguyPeople need to stop hating on Tyson. He was fast and ferocious.
Thank you it's the ref who matters not anybody else
What we learned from this interview "0"
Crazy to see Buster Douglas saying him signing the contract meant he was going to train hard and use his opportunity to his fullest. Then one fight later in the Holyfield fight he was a quitter.
After beating the supposedly unbeatable Tyson he really had nothing to prove. And no way was he going to beat holyfield even if he went into the holyfield fight like he did the tyson fight. Holyfield can take shots and always goes into a fight 100percent. Tyson was overrated and had never faced a fighter who was going to put him to the test and make him think !! If tyson had beat Douglas he most definitely would of lost to holyfield...
@jaydebeer7251 Holyfield was beaten several times by KO He retired, leaving the ring once and for good feet first.
@@kidmack3556Holyfield had great footwork and hand speed for Buster Douglas and Holyfield was trained by the defensive wizard 🧙 George Benton who also trained Pernell Whitaker

He took the money and ran. he knew he would lose to holyfield and he didnt care..he wanted the payday he always wanted..he got it and he was done!

Said the same thing
im a big Tyson fan all the way all i can say is u dont take mike out with one punch homie got a hard chin james put it to him all nite mostly hard shots mike was a ghost he was done done with his boxing didn't have the desire at all
The count when BUSTER went down is still "under question" but TYSON was sent to the canvas fair n square.
It's not "under question." Learn the rules of boxing. It's a REF'S ten count, not a stopwatch.
@@sidefx996 the refs count needs to be within the law of timing. Not count seconds in hours. Twit

He didn't count "seconds in hours" drama queen. And I'm the twit lol... At the time (I was 13), I hated to see Tyson lose too. But unlike you, I've gotten over it.
@@bobkumar8754 Mike got exactly the same speed count in round 10 from the ref, but was not fit to continue. This is the only fight in history that I am aware of where the speed of the ref's count caused such a lot of fuss.
For me Douglas beat Tyson fairly, it was a slightly long count but he was lucid straight away cursing himself for being hit by the uppercut. Contrast that to Tyson who was all over the place when he got knocked out. Tyson had a bad night partly because he underestimated his opponent. I'm sure if they'd fought again Tyson would have won but that's not the point. Tyson's team should have accepted the defeat and moved on rather than ruining Douglas 'moment.
his head was clear but his legs were gone
No, ,Tyson would have lost. Buster was not scared of Tyson. If you stood up to Tyson, Tyson always lost.
there is no way anybody can say tyson was in good shape in any form going into this@@perfectblindguy
Correct 💯 @@perfectblindguy
(if u didnt watch the entoire interview) Tyson's knock down was also 14 seconds. The vid explains it all and also compares it to other ko'ed fights in the past.
It's so hilarious to hear Tyson fans try to redefine what a fighter's "prime" is. He was 24. Saying he was mentally weak, unfocused, overly-dependent upon a trainer isn't a defense, it's a legitimate knock. It's not an excuse, it's a criticism. It doesn't make it better, it makes it worse. He was 24, and a 40:1 favorite. He got out-boxed, dominated and KOd.
Actually Mike was still 23 against Buster.
@Winterwood768-yx9kx even worse!
This fight just showed you why Mike says that Ali would have beaten him. Prime Ali was tighter smarter and 10x faster than Douglas best night
Right. I guess that's why he lost to a lesser Tyson in Joe Frazier. Tyson is just being humble. Tyson would have never lost with Rooney. He was the secret weapon. They fired Phil Jackson.
It’s common knowledge what Mike was doing the night before right up until the fight lol but still that’s why he gave respect to buster because he F up.
Tyson did not bring his chutzpah to Tokyo on February 11, 1990
Mike looks like Tom after Jerry's cousin beat him up with those sunglasses.
Very very interesting interview and video🤔.
Douglas would have got up quicker if he'd known. Sour grapes by Mike.
Not an excuse but a fact Mike, your corner screwed up.
"CAN ONE OF YOU 2 PLEASE BAD MOUTH SOMEONE FFS!!!????"
Buster was following the count, if the count was faster, then he would've got up faster
Agreed 💯
Exactly
41:28 - 41:36 lol Mike being funny after his first loss. Great stuff from iron Mike
Mike being an idiot 😂😂😂 I have that photo on my wall of him on the canvas drooling and searching for him gumshield 😂😂😂 overrated and had no resolve
tyson is in your head rent free@@jaydebeer7251
From what i saw the ref counted exactly the same both times, buster moved and went to his corner after the knockdown, allowing the ref time to start his count sooner than when he had to get tyson to his to start. Mike lost, it was very clear i dont know how you can see this and argue that he won that fight, hes even saying he didn't win. Also buster was very much able to get up before 5 or 6 if he wanted to
I forgot about the long count drama that made more regular news channels
The ultimate boss who counts in the ring is the referee. He said Buster was up at 9. End of story.
That's the start of the story.
Should he have had to listen to the bloke behind his back standing outside the ring and counting??
@@ernokirnyan9984 thats irrelevant even if Mike won that fight by count, it would have haunted him till rest of his life, since Buster was winning round after round, Tyson took probably one one biggest beatings in his life...
@@flipflop4396 yes indeed. But Buster told in an interview ( vladtv) a couple of years ago that he had been down on points. And had it been gone 12 rounds, Tyson would have won by decision. I dont understand boxing sometimes..
@@ernokirnyan9984 They were close in points just shows how much influence Don had back then even on judges, but in reality it was one man show..
They did not mention Douglas's mother dying that was the motivation in the match!! Tyson will probably beat Douglas in a rematch Douglas is not a motivated fighter. The motivation was his mother's passing and him promising his mother that he would win the championship!!!
Douglas was not afraid of Tyson. Those who stood up to Tyson always won.
Buster fought a brilliant fight. Period.
buster was saved by the bell no doubt but buster won that fight fair and square
Tysons count and Busters count are at the same speed so there is no argument. Buster was ready to continue, Tyson wasn’t. It’s that simple.
Correct
This is true but then you have to think that if the count was not as long as it was buster would have lost before we seen mike’s count
Irrelevant. A 10 count is not a 10 second count…
The last _true_ shocking upset in sports history.. the only other one that comes close is New England's loss to the Giants in the Super Bowl. I was 9 years old and Tyson was, and still is, my favorite boxer of all-time..I cried and wrote him a letter 😅.. Not sure if my parents ever really sent it or not, though.
According to you
@@Martin-kq5kx Well.. yeah.
Buster said, Tyson "came out after me every round" .. LOL
In any event, then it’s a 13 second count it’s still a fucking loss
10 count is not 10 second count
Still mad about the Tunney long count?
It's a REF'S ten count, not a stopwatch. Learn the rules of boxing.
Buster got saved by the bell. No way he would have made it otherwise
Damn i forgot about this knockdown
I remember when Sega video games had already had Mike Tyson Championship boxing as their New video game already packaged and ready to hit the shelves after the fight itself , Only to have a panic attack and rename the game to Buster Douglas Championship boxing causing chaos amongst the distributors and marketing department 😅
Nothing wrong with that count at all...Referee did a great job....and I'm one of Mike's biggest fans...

More often than not a ref will stop a fight if at just before the 10 count the fighter isn’t fully in his feet with straight legs. Buster was in exactly the same body position at 9 1/2 as was Tyson. Remember, how many seconds were left after each knockdown is irrelevant.
Difference is, Douglas was cogent and clearly able to continue. Tyson was in cuckoo land. Complete straw man argument..
Buster was about to get up after the 4 count called but then paused since he well as might wait until the count is higher. He wuld have got up anyway before the long count. The question then is whether Tyson woul dhave attacked him in the couple of seconds that would have remained (maybe 4 seconds). I dont think he woul dhave. Douglas wasnt hurt by the knock down punch.
Rooney
Tyson fanboys still on about the count 😂😂😂😂. Buster got up. Unlike tyson .😂😂😂 the man got battered and thats fact. The count wasn't long and buster was ready to get up but waited untill 9. Now what was tyson doing 2 rounds later? Oh looking for his dummy sorry i meant gumshield 😂😂😂
Out on his feet.
Deserved victory for Douglas. The long count was also a point of controversy in Ali vs Liston 2 where ex heavyweight champ Jersey Joe Wallcott was Referee.
Douglas wanted “ZERO” smoke from Mike in any kind of rematch.

Tyson fanboys must stop with the excuses.. its getting ridiculous. Tyson was out boxed ! His very very short prime was over! He lost before rd 3... Tyson runs out of ideas if faced with someone who can take his shots and not scared. He done it against bonecrusher smith when in his prime. Even a past his prime Ali beat a prime foreman! And you all try and and put tyson above Ali 😂😂😂😂
also all you need to do is watch this fight to know what larry holmes would of done to tyson in his prime. larry would of ate mike up with his legendary jab all night
basically, Tyson was all hype
@@perfectblindguy Definitely NOT all hype.. Did he have the ability and tools to be the best... easy answer YES! As mentioned above... Tyson would run out of ideas and become discouraged if things didnt go his way.. That doesnt make him a hype job! He was a freak of nature and a better boxer than he was ever given credit for. The Douglas fight could have been a bad day at the office... All fighters have them.

Im a die hard Tyson fan. Theres no way you CANT respect douglas. He fought and beat mike Tyson when everyone thought he was invincible. Buster got up to the count he heard. Im sure if the count had been on time, he wouldve gotten up to that, too.
come on the time keeper even shows you that the count was over 10 secs
Tyson was called "Best Student in boxing" and with reason. Glad Douglas showed us all Tyson was no unbeatable heavyweight, mashallah!
Leave some room, the count's on the referee, and they both got up at 9. They had the will of legs and choice to step, fall and get back up on that canvas.

Mike cant Aunswer the Questions properly. It's allways "you know what i mean".
"I never got knocked down in training." Geez there's a video that shows otherwise...
Not 100% sure why the ref looked to Tyson and directed him the the red corner when Mike rightly went to the neutral, that definitely took a second off the count. 👊👊
"Aw, what a nice uppercut by Buster Douglas! Look at this! He's knocked Mike Tyson down! For the first time, in his career! Mike Tyson hits the canvas! He may not be able to recover.. it's up to 7! And 8! He's not gonna make iiit! Unbelievable! Unbelievable! UnbeLIEVABLE!!! Buster Douglas is the new Heavyweight Champion of the world!" - Colonel Bob Sheridan
That wasn't iron mike he had alot of things going on out of boxing.he didn't train and run like he normally would.buster done nothing after that fight good job there wasn't a rematch buster would have got killed.
I believe Buster wanted to protect his image. He never once admitted that the Mike Tyson he beat was a lesser version. He wants to say he beat Mike Tyson and have that lauded. He doesn't care if he slacks off and gets beat by Holyfield, as long as it doesn't mess with that image.
lol apparently he was partying with bobby brown the night before the fight with 12 japanese women lol
Buster said he picked his self up at 6.. that upper cut must have really knocked that boy silly bc he was no where near 6. Buster Douglas stood up at 14 seconds after being knocked down from a lazy upper cut by Mike. The fight is on here and you can watch it yourself and count.. it’s 14 all day long. At 6 seconds he was still laying flat.. facts
Facts... it was a long count Nevermind the guy outside the ring the count period was a little long I got 11 either way the fight was over I've counted 11 like 20 times just to be sure the 14 was the outside of the ring guys count but the ref was a little behind but not by that much buster was nowhere near getting up at 6 if that was the case there would never have been an issue

Mike had some bumb answers. He had a amateur corner that didn't know how to get their fighter back in the the fight after being behind.Mike didn't have a bad night.Someone else would have lost.Buster gave the blue print on how to beat Mike ,ask Evanda.

I remember very well that Mike defeat and the reaction of many people "Mike is done ko..?, oh sh'' is impossible, is incredible, is, is, is.. Was already wright somewhere that the Mike' s life style, sooner or later will take Mike to loose.
