That is one brutal knockout Douglas scored. That Mike even managed to move after that can of whoopass is incredible. One of the most nerve breaking fights in the history of boxing.
Who cares how fast the butler in the crowd with the white gloves is counting. Is he the referee? No. Is he officiating this match? No. Why people are using him as the barometer of how fast a referee should count is beyond me.
all i can say is kevin rooney and teddy atlas tyson would have retired undefeated and had all his money period! to me he is still the greatest heavyweight tied with ali.
Yup he got up in about the same time Tyson did, but the ref let Douglas continue and called Tyson out. I remember watching this live thinking to myself something was off with Tyson the second he entered the ring that night. Tyson wasn't the Tyson of old that night or ever since. Even as well as Douglas fought he would have been torn apart by the Tyson of old.
First boxer to expose Tyson for his one dimensional abilities. Tyson is a puncher like to know you out and that's were his abilities end. You push him back when he charges, jab his head off and use the uppercut whenever the opportunity arises, and he looks mediocre. Lewis did the same thing against him although it was a more one-sided affair.
When u dedicate something to some one u just lost and loved dearly, theres no way in your mind to fail that mission. Mike was a great champ but that was busta's night. If u know boxing then u know its not all muscle..there's a mental factor involved.
@avsplanet1 my man you are exactly right, the better man one that night although Tyson was better than him, i'm not saying he got lucky but he had never give up in his mind and pulled through somehow
@8infectedTesticals Granted, but what was his excuse against Holyfield and Lewis. I recall against Holyfield his excuse were the headbutts and with Lewis he was too old although he forgot to mention Lewis is one year older than him. If he really was one of the greatest fighters in history he should have beaten these characters or avenged his losses, but he know he couldn't.
@crapfacejoe he wasnt really training properly in any of these fights hed do 2 weeks of training AND thats it !!! and he was only a great boxer because of the style cus taught him !! when he left rooney he stopped using this style
@crapfacejoe LOL! Holyfield never had a heart attack nor did he have this so-called "hole in his heart" that they tried to claim. That was all a big lie.
@crapfacejoe That's bullshit. Holyfield suffered from severe dehydration and that's it. Stop repeating bullshit lies, asshole. If Tyson had fought Holyfield in 1991 like they were supposed to, Holyfield would be dead right now. LOL!
@LedWhisky69 Holyfield would have been younger and beaten Tyson easier, when he fought Tyson he was in his mid 30s. Get your facts right you dunderhead.
@crapfacejoe LOL! WTF are you saying now? Holyfield in 1991 was nothing, but a blown-up cruiserweight and Tyson was still sending fighters to their destruction (besides his one and only loss to Douglas for which he didn't even train or prepare for). I think you don't know shit about boxing; that's what I think. That's ok, you're in great company around here, dumbass.
@LedWhisky69 I highly doubt that. Tyson was practically undefeatable from 1986 to 1989. But once he lost this fight, his career went downhill fast. Tyson wouldn't be able to frighten Holyfield once "Iron Mike" had been defeated for the first time. A boxer who would've fought like Mike did form 1990-2005 would never have been considered one of the greatest. Doesn't matter anyhow, Ali would've beaten the shit out of Mike. No matter which one he faced.
@Godisfinger I don't agree with hardly a damn thing you've said here. This is garbage talk. It wasn't the loss to Douglas that sent Tyson's career spiraling, it was the loss of his trainer and the whole Don King/Robbin Given fiasco. Even still, before going to prison, when Mike trained and was in shape, he was still knocking people out cold and gave Ruddock a beating for two fights. Holyfield couldn't TOUCH that Mike Tyson. Ali beaten the SHIT out of Mike? Haha! That's funny.
@Godisfinger And i agree with @LedWhisky69 aswell, you are speaking nonsense, first of all, we seen joe frazier, a much slower and argueably weaker in strength fighter than tyson knock ali down and even go on to win that fight, for you to assume someone faster, stronger and more elusive than Frazier couldnt beat Ali shows your knowledge in it, styles make fights right?? Tyson and frazier use the same type of style in which its no arguement tyson was better at it than frazier was.
u forgot that buster got up and knocked tyson out 2 rounds later, if the fighter can continue the fight should go on (if the fighter wants to), all this safety rules are ruining the fights, if the fighter CAN and WANTS to continue then he should that is if he beats the count in time, refs today stop fights to early with the argument "if he wouldnt stop he will get killed" maybe thats the case but the fight isnt over, its a FIGHT after all
I am a big Tyson fan, but he wasn't ready, and neither was his looney corner for this fight. Buster was ready, and won most of the rounds. Doesn't matter what the controversey was.
I do believe overall Douglas deserved to win this fight but i do also believe the ref counted buster quite slow and counted tyson faster so i think tyson probally could have won that fight
I think this fight was fixed. Tyson's count was much faster. He even took some time to find his mouthpiece and raised off his knee at the count of 9 and the ref stopped it. Meanwhile douglas was almost out at the count of 10 and wobbled and the ref let him continue.
@theguy1224, the counts were exactly the same. Type in 'Douglas Tyson identical counts' and you can see for yourself. Honestly, when will you idiotic Tyson groupies just say 'Yep, Tyson lost, fair and square'?
@RihannasBikeSeat He did lose fair and square. That lost was added to his record afterall lol. I never said he didnt lose this fight. I said it seems like this fight was fixed. Tyson's natural condition is what made him a brawler, because he had a heart condition, which is why he always tried to end his fights early. Buster simply lasted the rounds which tired tyson and tyson got knocked. Tyson is still better.
@theguy1224, the counts were the same (see my other comment). And if you honestly think that Tyson was in a fit state to continue, you're an even bigger moron than most other Tyson ball lickers - and that really is saying something.
@RihannasBikeSeat i cant comment on whether the counts were the same or not but even if they were both slow is not the point.i put a stop watch on buster douglas and he was at nearly 12 when he got up.i think this fight is a big reason why now the count is done from outside the ring.and i am a boxing fan not a tyson fan
nothing went wrong in this fight. douglas wanted it more than tyson. nobody likes to see mike tyson that way. but we all need to assume that it was a sweet win for douglas he deserved his win
@chocolate6123 .......Mike Tyson let a scared fighter get brave. Once you do that, you've got problems. Brave fighters don't go back to being scared. So, as the rounds went on... Douglas got confident! And when Douglas got knocked on his ass, he punched the canvas and got up. The next round, he beat the hell out of Mike... and then stopped him.
this was the beginning of the end for iron mike 37 nobodys got tko but buster actully tried Punch back everyones so called baddest man best boxer on the planet that never ever beat 1 single good heavyweight in his illusterious career
where in the middle of the 8th round thats Because Buster actully Punched back unlike the other 37nobodys who basically got hit went down an it was over well this was the beginning of the end for tyson after this was prison then 2 ass whoopins from holyfield 1 asswhoopin from lennox an im sure an asswhoopin from george Forman would have happend an a klitchko ass whoopin is on that list as well this is your baddest man on the planet never beat 1 single great heavyweight in hi prime not even 1
@errollawrence an let me guess somthin went wrong in the 2 fights with evander missing part of his ear that was bitten off by mike or how about what went wrong with the lennox lewis fight let me guess those were all rigged as well
What everyone fails to see is: the elbows buster continually throws, as soon as the referee walks over to break up them after hugging, buster always immediately let's go and lands punches, in the eighth round, the referee warns buster buts lets him keep doing it. Mile clearly wouldve been up at 7 if he wasn't fooling around with his mouth piece, etc. everyone argues that when mike floored buster, he sat and counted and got up at 9. Mike sat up and did the same thing then tried to grab his mouth
right when buster hits the mat you can see the counter in the white glove with a count of 1, by the time hes on 3 the ref starts counting at 1. in other words, buster was on his feet by the count of 12....meaning he was out, tyson won this fight. im surprised there is not more controversy
@gunner987100 I think I remember seeing a interview from him and he said that he couldn't fight without it but couldn't find it. I guess with the referees that's part of being ready before fighting, even resuming fighting.
I love how the announcer's just talking, talking, talking, then Buster lands that vicious uppercut and he just goes berserk haha. Great call. Great fight.
tyson won this fight. At the knock down begin your count. The ref started late and he counted slow. He acted like he wanted busted to get up. I counted to 11 and buster was still not standing completely up ready to dust off the gloves and continue.
@G:Douglas had every reason to get up: He's fresh, (proven in 9&10). He knows he's ahead. He's fully conscious, easily keeps head from hitting canvas. He sits up to watch the count. He can get up any time. He got up when he HAD to. Buster knew the rule that Mike's fans don't seem to know: Ref's count is LAW: It's all the fighter sees & hears to decide when to get up. From the split-second his shoulder hit the canvas to being fully upright again was 12.5secs. About same time as Mike's 9count.
The Key of that fight was the mental focus of Douglas. He wasnt scared of Mike and he used his reach advantage. Another good strategy was not using so much the left hook to not get uncovered and get hit with Mike's hooks.
@Cruiserweight77 he did win man that ref was a fukin retard. That's the slowest count to 10 I ever heard. And if you notice in the backround while buster is down the guy sitting down is counting he's up to 4. The ref started on 2. Iron mike forever !!!!
CAN I GET A MOTHERFUCKING THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK TYSON WON THIS FIGHT AT 3:05
Mike Tyson won this fight. He trained to knock him out early, it just took a little longer this time. Fixed, no. Poor reffing? It's boxing, what do you expect? Mills Lane couldnt ref every fight. Who the fuck picked Tokyo? Mikes ppl shoulda been around him all the time, but they let him down and Mike let us down. If you ever show anyone this fight, let em know the facts. And fuck you punk ass Tyson haters. What.
Buster is a gorilla. Look at him taller & heavier and more reach. He had an advantage on Mike. Plus Mike didn't give a fuck about boxing any more. I love you mike my Champ forever !!! NY's Champ !!!
For all the people criticising Tyson you should see what happened to Douglas after beating the Champ. He was partying wildly, eating drinking became overweight after 2 seconds of glory. Imagine the discipline Tyson exerted being the exciting World Champ for 3.5 years. In this fight in the early rounds Tyson looked like he couldn't raise his arms. He admits to having too much sex with Japanese girls pre fight.
Can anyone think of a bigger upset in boxing history than this?? I know James Braddock against Max Baer, and Ali against Sonny Liston were big, but I still don't think they compared to this!
I am not a big boxing fan. I started watching Mike Tyson's fights after watching documentary 'Tyson'. They are so exciting that I watched all of his fights. By watching this fight you can easily say Tyson is not in good shape as said by Kevin Rooney( ex trainer) and lot of other people. Its clearly evident that how tight his muscles looked in his previous fights compared to this fight. still it took 10 rounds for Douglas to knock him down.
Whenever I'm feeling bad I watch this fight. Still brings a buzz. The first punch in the 10th says so much, Tyson throwing a right hand lead with no real set-up, Buster not falling. Some guys just get to have one night of magic.
íf mike tyson knock him 2x no chance to stand buster douglas cheats while mike tyson is falling down he's attacking and attacking so that he cant recover
dude thats only happened about a thousand times in boxing, the average count last about 12sec. but nobody gives a shit, seeing as how this was one of the biggest upsets in boxing history all of a sudden its a big deal, if we changed the decision for this fight we'd seriously have to change thousands of fights, had it been the other way around nobody would have said a word cuz nobody would care or believe that he could win, seeing as how buster was a huge underdog
@bclark5423 When there's a knockdown in boxing you won't see the referee staring at a watch; instead he'll be down close to the fallen fighter, looking in his eyes to see how he's responding to the VERBAL count, which is the official count. There's no rule that says it has to be exactly 10 seconds. Fighters are advised to stay down as long as possible, so they usually get up at around 8-9, like Douglas did. The ref checked his eyes, and felt that he was ready to continue.
@bclark5423 Also, the count doesn't necessarily start the instant the fighter makes contact with the canvas; e.g. a referee often won't start counting until he sees the standing fighter moving toward a neutral corner. By the rules of boxing, the referee's verbal count IS the official count.
In the case of this fight, Douglas was clearly able to continue. The round ended seconds after he got up. And then Tyson had every chance to put him away in the next round, but couldn't.
much respect to buster douglas, nobody had even knocked tyson down, he was such a huge underdog, came back from getting knocked down & won by knock out !
The absolute most crucial single moment in round-9 is at 4:24 in the clip. See Douglass duck a well loaded left-hook from Tyson that probably would have at least floored Douglass again, with plenty of time for Tyson to finally close if he did get up. Pretty damn athletic of Douglass, because of the height difference he had to duck pretty low.
this is disgusting,no head movement what so ever,don king ruined what i think WAS the greatest of all time,mike was truly a animal,like a pitbull, loyal to the owner but once the owner hands the dog over to someone else they cant control it,i'm not saying mike was a dog,he was a very weak mentally but cus gave him structure so did his trainer kevin rooney,but someone had to take it away and ruin what was definetly the greatest of all time,sad we didnt get to see mike finish his career properly.
@kurt23407 Who are you calling an idiot,you cocksucker!! You dont know if he could not continue because that ref gave Tyson a bear hug as soon as he got up at the count of 9,he should have asked him are you OK or told him,"walk to me"to see if he had his legs under him but that did not happen did it. Which other fight have you seen a ref give a fighter a bear hug as soon as they are on their feet?
@josemezatorrez answer to your last question. Zab Judah against Kostya Tszyu (ref didn't even count out Judah cos he was out of it). The ref was right in what he did because Tyson was getting beat up. I would have done the same
@CoffeeBeatsTea That is not the answer I am looking for,the ref never gave Zab a bear hug immediately after he arose to his feet and stopped it did he? Zab got up and stumbled around and fell again,that was an appropriate stoppage by the ref.Give me another example my friend. Tyson was not the only one getting beat up,Douglas was also taking a beating and even though he was hurt the Champ should get the benefit of the doubt.With Tyson it only takes 1 punch to finish off an opponent.
@josemezatorrez doesn't negate the fact that Tyson was taking a beating and the ref was right for stopping it when he did. More people will agree with me on this
@josemezatorrez oh sorry, another one is Chavez vs Melderick Taylor. I can't remember if it's fight 1 or fight 2 but the ref stopped the fight on the last round
@CoffeeBeatsTea That was the famous and very controversial fight 1.The Chavez vs Taylor fight was stopped with 2 seconds left in the fight when Taylor was winning and he got KO down in the 12th rd.Did you see what the ref asked Taylor in that fight? The ref asked Taylor,"Are you OK? Are you OK? And when Taylor did not answer he stopped it,which I think was a good call.The ref in this fight should have asked Tyson the same question,that is my point.
@josemezatorrez, ha ha, what a bellend you are. You think Tyson could continue? He had to hold on to the referee to get up at one stage, wasn't even coherent enough to put his gumshield in properly, was clearly groggy and, most importantly, actually had to be told a few minutes later that he'd been knocked out by Aaron Snowell.
But yeah, keep thinking that he should have been allowed to continue if it makes you happy! Another classic excuse for a Tyson loss....
@iljn1988 I never said he was not hurt you dumbo! I said that the ref should have atleast asked Tyson Are you OK? Or he could have ordered Tyson to take a step forward to find out if he had his legs under him and then he could have stopped it.Where have you seen a ref give a fighter a bear hug as soon as they stood up at the count of 9? How many times did we see Tyson victims roll around the ring falling over and getting back up and the ref let them continue fighting?
@josemezatorrez, even if they are up at 9 / 10, the ref doesn't need to ask them if they're ok to continue if they are clearly in the middle of next week - which is exactly where Tyson was. Comparing his knockdown to Douglas' is ridiculous; Douglas was clearly only jolted and was coherent, hitting the canvas in frustration and watching the referee count to give himself maximum time. On the other hand, Tyson was walking the street of dreams. The referee saved him from being absolutely brutalized.
@iljn1988 When did I compare Douglas ko down to tysons? If your going to debate then dont LIE and make up shit I NEVER SAID!! I was not comparing the Doulas ko down to Tysons,I was comparing other Tyson victims that were rolling around the ring in queer street and the ref did not jump in and bear hug anyone of them.
@josemezatorrez, whatever, your implication was obvious. As for your last point, each time a referee foolishly let a clearly dazed Tyson opponent continue they usually got even more detached from their senses within a few seconds - and that's exactly what would have happened to Tyson here. For fuck's sake, are you still oblivious to the fact that Tyson had no idea where he is and had to be told by someone else that he'd been knocked out? He was done. Stop acting as if he was robbed.
It was definitely a slow count,but that is expected because the refs are human and do not carry stop watches.Douglas was on the floor for about 12 or 13 seconds but Tyson was losing the fight and it was Douglas night to win.
Evander Holyfield and Lennow Lewis were just better fighters than Tyson.. Frazier lost to Ali and Foreman and is still considered in the top ten of all time heavyweight. This however is unforgivable to lose to Douglas and is why he will never be in the top ten. Lewis lost to bums McCall and Rahman but at least he avenged those losses. Tyson should have fought Douglas as soon as buster lost to holy. This should have taken priority over regaining the title.
@bobber0623 Man you're making it sounds like it was Tyson's fault he lost. Well in some parts it may be, but Buster just did a fantastic job here and no one should take that away from him.
@bobber0623 Douglas refused to fight Tyson again. Also, Lewis and Holyfield were nowhere near what Mike was before prison. He spent 4 years of his prime wasting away in a jail cell. Everything he did after that point doesn't even count toward his legacy
@ronesposito1, hhhhmmmm, I bet you were drooling over his wins over Bruno and Seldon back in 1996....but suddenly when he loses to an older and way over the hill Holyfield (who he was meant to beat with ease), all of a sudden nothing post-prison counts? Convenient.
@iljn1988 Over the hill Holyfield? Holyfield was at his best at this age. You know why? because he was doing fucking steroids and HGH under the alias "Evan Fields." Google it. He had two close and tough fights with Lewis after the Tyson fights.
@ronesposito1, Holyfield at his best in '96? Idiot. He was 34 (four years older than Tyson), had looked awful in his last fight against Czyz and had lost three of his last four significant fights to Bowe x 2 and Moorer. On top of that, he was returning from a short retirement due to a heart condition. But yeah, keep telling yourself he was in the shape of his life if it makes you happy. And by the way, Tyson's team demanded a random drug test before the fight - Holyfield took it, passed, & won.
@RihannasBikeSeat Yeah Holyfield clearly was the best in 96 due to being a cheater. he cycled on steroids and HGh before this fight and it is PROVEN. They called the number associated with the customer at the steroid lab and Holyfield answered the phone. Still not half the fighter Tyson was though mother fucker!
@bobber0623 Ali and Foreman are both hall of fame top 10 heavyweights while Douglas is just a one hit wonder this was the last fight he had in him, his prime which was one fight Tyson was #1 contender by December of this year and fighting with the same skill and more experience.
ive seen this fight so many times and every time i watch it its still exciting and one of my favourite fights......douglas was so tough and determined when he took those shots from tyson,tyson gave it everything and i think he got hurt early on in the fight and never really recovered,also he was getting out-jabbed by douglas all night....tyson was prepared for this fight and he got caught off guard-i give douglas all credit for the way he fought this fight,he never let up.
@moctezuma112 Finally someone who understands that mikes greatness was not only cause of his potential but his trainers that helped him reach his full potential
@moctezuma112 Kevin Rooney would have told him "DON'T FIGHT DOUGLAS, HOLYFIELD NOR LEWIS! YOUR STYLE FITS THEIRS". Cus D'Amato warned him.
What people can't understand is that heavyweight boxing is a fight of styles and not power. The Iron was a great punishment in the early rounds; but when he couldn't finish it, he gets frustrated and his weak mental comes out. He should have worked on the psychological field. His problem was that he didn't face big boxers and thought he was invincible.
@mba2ceo Bullshit.. there is a video on here that proves that retarded as theory 100 percent wrong.... the ref, Octavio Meyran, was always a slow counter... and let's not forget Tyson was OUT ON HIS FEET... he was wobbly and hurt... Meyran saved his life, potentially.
@mba2ceo Look up "Tyson vs. Douglas Identical counts" and you will see it for yourself. Douglas got up but was OK, Tyson was out on his feet and had to be saved.
i respect both of these dudes alot buster came in and proved his skill and tyson still fought a great fight..2 of the greatest heavyweights ever in my opinion
Hadnt watched this in a bit and one thing I see, that happened throughout the fight and the ref let go on and on was Douglas taking 2 quick power shots as the ref broke them up. He did alot of damage with it. Tysons corner should have told him to fight dirty back. Those shots were the difference, and the bell ringing just after Douglas got up.
That is one brutal knockout Douglas scored. That Mike even managed to move after that can of whoopass is incredible. One of the most nerve breaking fights in the history of boxing.

I think this fight was fixed. Tyson's count was much faster. He even took some time to find his mouthpiece and raised off his knee at the count of 9 and the ref stopped it. Meanwhile douglas was almost out at the count of 10 and wobbled and the ref let him continue.

@RihannasBikeSeat He did lose fair and square. That lost was added to his record afterall lol. I never said he didnt lose this fight. I said it seems like this fight was fixed. Tyson's natural condition is what made him a brawler, because he had a heart condition, which is why he always tried to end his fights early. Buster simply lasted the rounds which tired tyson and tyson got knocked. Tyson is still better.

@chocolate6123 .......Mike Tyson let a scared fighter get brave. Once you do that, you've got problems. Brave fighters don't go back to being scared. So, as the rounds went on... Douglas got confident! And when Douglas got knocked on his ass, he punched the canvas and got up. The next round, he beat the hell out of Mike... and then stopped him.

What everyone fails to see is: the elbows buster continually throws, as soon as the referee walks over to break up them after hugging, buster always immediately let's go and lands punches, in the eighth round, the referee warns buster buts lets him keep doing it. Mile clearly wouldve been up at 7 if he wasn't fooling around with his mouth piece, etc. everyone argues that when mike floored buster, he sat and counted and got up at 9. Mike sat up and did the same thing then tried to grab his mouth

right when buster hits the mat you can see the counter in the white glove with a count of 1, by the time hes on 3 the ref starts counting at 1. in other words, buster was on his feet by the count of 12....meaning he was out, tyson won this fight. im surprised there is not more controversy

@G:Douglas had every reason to get up: He's fresh, (proven in 9&10). He knows he's ahead. He's fully conscious, easily keeps head from hitting canvas. He sits up to watch the count. He can get up any time. He got up when he HAD to. Buster knew the rule that Mike's fans don't seem to know: Ref's count is LAW: It's all the fighter sees & hears to decide when to get up. From the split-second his shoulder hit the canvas to being fully upright again was 12.5secs. About same time as Mike's 9count.

The Key of that fight was the mental focus of Douglas. He wasnt scared of Mike and he used his reach advantage. Another good strategy was not using so much the left hook to not get uncovered and get hit with Mike's hooks.

For all the people criticising Tyson you should see what happened to Douglas after beating the Champ. He was partying wildly, eating drinking became overweight after 2 seconds of glory. Imagine the discipline Tyson exerted being the exciting World Champ for 3.5 years. In this fight in the early rounds Tyson looked like he couldn't raise his arms. He admits to having too much sex with Japanese girls pre fight.

I am not a big boxing fan. I started watching Mike Tyson's fights after watching documentary 'Tyson'. They are so exciting that I watched all of his fights. By watching this fight you can easily say Tyson is not in good shape as said by Kevin Rooney( ex trainer) and lot of other people. Its clearly evident that how tight his muscles looked in his previous fights compared to this fight. still it took 10 rounds for Douglas to knock him down.

dude thats only happened about a thousand times in boxing, the average count last about 12sec. but nobody gives a shit, seeing as how this was one of the biggest upsets in boxing history all of a sudden its a big deal, if we changed the decision for this fight we'd seriously have to change thousands of fights, had it been the other way around nobody would have said a word cuz nobody would care or believe that he could win, seeing as how buster was a huge underdog
mmafyasco 2 months ago
@bclark5423 When there's a knockdown in boxing you won't see the referee staring at a watch; instead he'll be down close to the fallen fighter, looking in his eyes to see how he's responding to the VERBAL count, which is the official count. There's no rule that says it has to be exactly 10 seconds. Fighters are advised to stay down as long as possible, so they usually get up at around 8-9, like Douglas did. The ref checked his eyes, and felt that he was ready to continue.
counterstriving 2 months ago
@bclark5423 Also, the count doesn't necessarily start the instant the fighter makes contact with the canvas; e.g. a referee often won't start counting until he sees the standing fighter moving toward a neutral corner. By the rules of boxing, the referee's verbal count IS the official count.
In the case of this fight, Douglas was clearly able to continue. The round ended seconds after he got up. And then Tyson had every chance to put him away in the next round, but couldn't.

The absolute most crucial single moment in round-9 is at 4:24 in the clip. See Douglass duck a well loaded left-hook from Tyson that probably would have at least floored Douglass again, with plenty of time for Tyson to finally close if he did get up. Pretty damn athletic of Douglass, because of the height difference he had to duck pretty low.

@josemezatorrez answer to your last question. Zab Judah against Kostya Tszyu (ref didn't even count out Judah cos he was out of it). The ref was right in what he did because Tyson was getting beat up. I would have done the same
CoffeeBeatsTea 3 months ago
@CoffeeBeatsTea That is not the answer I am looking for,the ref never gave Zab a bear hug immediately after he arose to his feet and stopped it did he? Zab got up and stumbled around and fell again,that was an appropriate stoppage by the ref.Give me another example my friend. Tyson was not the only one getting beat up,Douglas was also taking a beating and even though he was hurt the Champ should get the benefit of the doubt.With Tyson it only takes 1 punch to finish off an opponent.

And when Taylor did not answer he stopped it,which I think was a good call.The ref in this fight should have asked Tyson the same question,that is my point.

@josemezatorrez, ha ha, what a bellend you are. You think Tyson could continue? He had to hold on to the referee to get up at one stage, wasn't even coherent enough to put his gumshield in properly, was clearly groggy and, most importantly, actually had to be told a few minutes later that he'd been knocked out by Aaron Snowell.
But yeah, keep thinking that he should have been allowed to continue if it makes you happy! Another classic excuse for a Tyson loss....

@iljn1988 I never said he was not hurt you dumbo! I said that the ref should have atleast asked Tyson Are you OK?

How many times did we see Tyson victims roll around the ring falling over and getting back up and the ref let them continue fighting?
josemezatorrez 3 months ago
@josemezatorrez, even if they are up at 9 / 10, the ref doesn't need to ask them if they're ok to continue if they are clearly in the middle of next week - which is exactly where Tyson was. Comparing his knockdown to Douglas' is ridiculous; Douglas was clearly only jolted and was coherent, hitting the canvas in frustration and watching the referee count to give himself maximum time. On the other hand, Tyson was walking the street of dreams. The referee saved him from being absolutely brutalized.

@josemezatorrez, whatever, your implication was obvious. As for your last point, each time a referee foolishly let a clearly dazed Tyson opponent continue they usually got even more detached from their senses within a few seconds - and that's exactly what would have happened to Tyson here. For fuck's sake, are you still oblivious to the fact that Tyson had no idea where he is and had to be told by someone else that he'd been knocked out? He was done. Stop acting as if he was robbed.

Evander Holyfield and Lennow Lewis were just better fighters than Tyson.. Frazier lost to Ali and Foreman and is still considered in the top ten of all time heavyweight. This however is unforgivable to lose to Douglas and is why he will never be in the top ten. Lewis lost to bums McCall and Rahman but at least he avenged those losses. Tyson should have fought Douglas as soon as buster lost to holy. This should have taken priority over regaining the title.

On top of that, he was returning from a short retirement due to a heart condition. But yeah, keep telling yourself he was in the shape of his life if it makes you happy.

What people can't understand is that heavyweight boxing is a fight of styles and not power. The Iron was a great punishment in the early rounds; but when he couldn't finish it, he gets frustrated and his weak mental comes out. He should have worked on the psychological field. His problem was that he didn't face big boxers and thought he was invincible.
