  • bigragu, Great story. Years ago I used to train at Brixton boxing club in Herne Hill above the Half Moon pub. I used to spar with Danny Williams when he was around 15 16 years old. I was in Thailand when he fought Tyson and did not stay up at silly hours to watch the fight as I did not want to see my friend Danny take a beating. when I did watch the replay it is clear Tyson incurred a leg injury, he winces after a sudden move and from then on his punches have no power.

  • It's all good. I think people get the KO round mixed up because of all the excitement in the 9th round. It was amazing to see Buster dominate like that right after being knocked down the previous round. But what people forget is that Buster wasn't really hurt from the knock down, it was more of a flash knock down. If the count was faster he would have gotten up faster. The 9th round flew by because it was so amazing IMO!

  • my bad Mike dropped him in the 8th, Buster did work on him in the 9th(mikes first rope-a-dope) then dropped him early in the 10th. It's weird everyone thinks Buster dropped him in the 8th or 9th, i even saw Burt Sugar(sorry if i spelled his name wrong) say on ESPN Classic that buster knocked mike out in the 9th, once.

  • the ending of that story was amazing, what a nice guy buster was haha, but that shows his confidence. I think another factor of that fight for buster winnin was his trainer, (mike had clowns in his corner, erin snow sucks) that gritty raspy voice busters main man had u could ehar him every round "work baby work!" "don't lean!" "uppercut!" all at the perfect times. By the way it was in the 8th mike dropped buster, but buster finished mike in the 9th, good vid peace.

  • Awesome, thank you so much!

  • great story
