It was "the" classic upset. Just like Tyson-Douglas, the fa vorite didn't take the 'dog serious. But we've seen it before. An underdog will play a favorite, have 'em beat, but make one mistake to let 'm off the hook. Buster Douglas didn't make any mistakes that night. Got floored , but he didnt let it faze him. The Hockey team spotted the Soviets 2 goals, but it didn't faze 'em. Before either knew it, they were in a dog fight and didn't know how to recover.
Al was younger then...the game took place in 1980...29 years ago...but it's Al Michaels. If one listens carefully at how he pronounces some of the words his accent can be heard.
