@@michaelborgelt1600 I think after beating Tyson, Douglas probably would have just liked to retire with the belt with his name in history etched. But what he didn't have yet in his career was that huge payday. As champ he could now get it. So when he got the 24 million offer for Holyfield, who would say no to that? He went to that fight almost at 250 pounds, out of shape, and highly unmotivated. I think he got his money and just wanted out. He came back later in the 90's but only because he had become so obese his doctor told him if he didn't do something to drop the weight he wouldn't have too much time left. It must have worked because he's still with us.
This has to be regarded as one of the biggest upsets in boxing history. I remember watching this fight years after it actually took place and thinking what a beating Tyson took in this fight. Buster was a huge underdog going into the fight.
It was biggest upset 😡😪in boxing lol I'm from Ohio so glad buster Douglas won he fought like 👍hell..congrats to him he had the chance and shook up the boxing world
Coaching makes a difference. Kevin Rooney was very important in Mike's life after Cus passing. 1989 Mike fired Rooney thinking 🤔 Don king 👑 was family. Biggest mistake of Tysons Career. Hired new coaches and the rest is history 🥊. Lost too Douglas, Lennox, Holyfield twice, Danny, quit a fight and said his heart ❤️ wasn't in it anymore. 6 career losses. Rooney would have came with game plan for each fighter, Tyson may have lost 1 or 2 but he certainly would have been on top 🎩 of his game if he kept Rooney
Crazy that James Buster did it for his mother too, he promised her that he would win against Mike, she then died 3 days before the fight. Rip. And then he won.
ABSOLUTELY. I was a kid at this time literally single digits but I remember being surprised as everything was Tyson back then and I was in a department store with my Mother in the electronics department and they showed it on the news on the tvs and I saw an interview with Douglas done many years later and he said he was so inconsolable over the death of his Mother that NOBODY could have beaten that night and I believe him. He fought out of skin, people nowadays just don’t realise HOW BIG OF AN UPSET this was and is, Tyson had at 21 ran through the heavyweight division like butter to become undisputed and absolutely destroyed everyone he faced and was at 21 being talked about as possibly the greatest ever fighter and he was being compared to Ali to Ray Robinson, to Jack Dempsey e.t.c. I don’t think I’ve seen a man take the punishment Tyson did in this bout which at 23 he wasn’t even at his peak yet. James Douglas on the other hand, Douglas had fought for a world title years before and got stopped by Tony Tucker and was seen now as a journeyman and a lot of people were not happy that he was getting this shot and believed it was a mismatch and more fodder for the Tyson wrecking ball. James “Buster” Douglas however did not just beat Tyson which would have been a jaw dropping miracle regardless no, Buster outboxed, outworked, outmanoeuvred and picked apart Mike Tyson and gradually broke him down, softened him up, beat him up and gave him an absolute hiding before knocking him out. Tyson almost hit “Ctrl delete” with that uppercut in round 9 but Douglas had entered the Matrix at that point and would not be denied. Douglas also said in that interview he hadn’t trained especially different for Tyson but was in another dimension with his Mother.😳 Holyfield stopped him 3 rounds just months later and Douglas did nothing after this, so doesn’t it just show what love can do and the monster we can unleash when that love is taken away. It reminds me of those two young teenage girls one was 14 the other 12 I think who about 10 years back watched in horror as their father a farmer had an accident and his tractor turned over and pinned him to the ground crushing him slowly and they knew emergency would take about an hour to get there and he was losing consciousness and somehow they were able to lift this tractor that weighed thousands of pounds several feet in the air on the third attempt after not budging it the first two and the Father was freed. There was a similar case where a woman lifted her crashed vehicle weighing a few thousand pounds off her daughter. It’s called extreme fight/flight/freeze adrenaline strength amplified or something very similar and is something that is in all humans but is not accessible unless the perfect circumstances and perfect storm happens and basically what happens is your mind tells your body that your limits are gone and this causes a massive release of adrenaline that will give you upto 20% more strength than your absolute peak and it’s not something that you can bring on by manipulating yourself although Eddie Hall for instance has tried to in order to surpass the 500lb lift and he says it worked using visualisation and focus of his worst nightmare (someone sexually assaulting his baby son and he catches them!) but it’s unlikely that it did as he’s already normally strong enough to lift close to that so it’s not a huge jump and you literally have to believe what is happening and that disaster is imminent to fire it. It sounds more like they have both unlocked their minds and maybe are accessing drips of it but literally according to scientific research less than 1% of humans will ever actually be under the right circumstances to trigger a response that size and it’s usually triggered by extreme emotional distress or shock and the person is capable for a very short period of time to lift or bend metal that should be impossible under any circumstances.

Весь Мир знает только Мухаммеда Али и Майка Тайсона. А на счет Бастер Дуглас впервые слышу! Да Майка Тайсона потрепала жизнь, смерть тренера который был ему как родной отец. Годы в тюрьме где его обвинили в изнасиловании, хотя он по сей день говорит что не виновен. Промоутер аферист обокрал его до нитки и он остался без гроша. Все это повлияло на него очень больно и трудно. Но все же он не пал духом как многие и все кто с ним бился в ринге. Стали известны лишь благодаря бою с ним. Если бы не все эти боли в жизни, тюрьма и другое. Он бы многих ещё уложил в Мире бокса и многого добился. Майк Тайсон воин одиночка, который не смотря не на что, сам всего добивался выйдя из нищеты. Привет вам с Казахстана!
@@tgh223 he's telling fact though. And it's not some refs. Most of refs would've count Douglas out. He was shaky when he got up at 10. And the count was slow.
The ref normally asks the downed boxer to walk forward and speaks with them to decide what to do. Douglas responded well and was fine to continue, he got over confident then caught with a cheap tyson shot that staggered him off balance. Such a fantastic fight.
The count was fine. A ref doesn't want to rush the count. Let the dropped fighter get back on his feet and if the ref thinks he is not in condition to continue the ref can always stop the fight.
This just goes to show that if you believe in yourself as Buster did then anything is possible. Great exhibition from both fighters and congratulations James. You be best fighter on the night won.
I saw this fight as well. Buster's superior jab, and extreme reach advantage as well height, and knowing how to step away and keep outside were his physical advantages. He was also in perhaps the best physical condition he'd been in in many years. He also had utilized some wisdom. Mike on the other hand at this point seemed to be somewhat of a lost fighter believing there was not much else to conquer. His corner was not well run. His own conditioning and training were not taken seriously enough and it showed. Ultimately, in the individual sports, you may have a team, an entourage, and well wishers. It however is you that must perform. True that the count on the knockdown was fragmented. It started late, and was broken up in the process. You however as an individual have little choice but to carry on and overcome. Buster Douglas overcame, and was the clear winner, dominating this fight. Mike knew it. Everybody who saw it knew it. Great fight to watch, and sad in many ways as well. Definitely a time gone by. Thanks for the video clip here, it was great seeing it again. C A
@@mmurmurjohnson2368 Quite true Mmurmur, I remember that as well. Very good for you to notate it. It definitely had an effect on Buster Douglas, no doubt. C A
@@travzimmerman1340 Mike shrugged after knocking him down and was almost going to help him up before the ref waved him to his corner. Have you ever heard of a "staged fight"? It's a real thing in the controlled sport of boxing.
@@QuickHittinEmnot how boxing works, it’s not a “count to ten” it’s a “count to ten by the ref” meaning the rule is when the ref finishes his count not when ten seconds has passed. It’s the rules
👍. I was at Charlie Browns in tenaly nj having a beer when some stranger busts in like Paul Revere yelling "Mike tyson been knocked out, Mike tysons been knocked out!" & ran out. We all weren't aware there even was a heavy weight fight at the time. Cool to watch decades later, ty.
You can see how far Mike's skills have eroded since Don King fired Kevin Rooney. How many punches does he slip? He was getting tattooed all night with flush shots to the face. He took more punches in this fight than the last 20 fights combined. He went from being a slick defensive fighter that rarely got caught to a one or two punch brawler and it caught up with him.
How does Don King (a promoter) effect Mikes ability as a fighter?? I don't recall Muhammed Ali falling apart when he was promoted by King back in the days.
@@BiggieBigLnPac I will start with the biggest negative influence Don King had on Tyson. He fired his trainer Kevin Rooney and replaced with with Aaron Snowell, a young inexperienced trainer who had NEVER been a head trainer before. Snowell was not equipped to train Mike in the Cus D'aMatto peek a boo style. Because of this parts of Mike's technical skills eroded away. Defense, Mike when from a guy who was VERY hit to a stationary target, eating punches all night. Look at the Buster Douglas fight. I would be willing to bet Mike got hit with more punches that night than in every one of his previous fights combined. Technique, when you look at the punch stats per round, Mikes jabs per round started dropping immediately. He went from a guy who averaged 24 jabs a round to a guy who threw 7 per round. In Mikes Peek A Boo style the jab is very important, it was what everything else was built on. The jab was a way in, it also led to combinations off the jab. His combination rate also plummeted dropping from averaging 25 combos a round to three or four per round. Mike when from a technically gifted defensive fighter who worked off the jab and delivered deadly combinations to an easily hit target that ignored the jab and combinations to throw bombs, one or two at a time. Don King's choices for Tyson was the biggest reason for his downfall. They were all yes men who couldn't stand up to Tyson and demand that he work harder. Tyson was famous for not wanting to train very hard in the Don King era.
On February 11, 1990, in Tokyo, Japan, the earth stood still. There's no doubt whatsoever that those individuals who bet their money and their life savings on Tyson all walked away having their feelings hurt.
I know this is an old post, but I thought you may find this crazy, I did- The official scorecards through nine rounds were 87-86 for Tyson, 86-86, and 88-83 for Douglas.
There is nothing permanent in life. If you think that you are the greatest and unbeatable, there is always someone who comes from nowhere and can beat you.
This is the best fight of the 20th century. TYSON is prime in his career and 6 year younger than Douglas. Nobody can think Douglas would knock Tyson out but Douglas beats Tyson in very fair and square. Good win for Douglas in history of boxing forever.
Tyson and his followers took this man lightly. What a mistake because Douglas was on that night. Tyson beat most fighters before the fight with his rep but Douglas had nothing to loose that night and fought that way.
Fought with total belief and absolutely no fear - unlike most of Tyson's opponents, who were usually beaten before they entered the ring. If Tyson was at his very best this version of Douglas gives him a hell of a fight. He had all the tools to give Tyson nightmares, style-wise.
This was not 'prime' Tyson that night. Kevin Rooney wasn't his trainer anymore and his personal issues had begun, not least that episode with the hooker. He wasn't in the same physical condition of 1986-89 and that's not up for debate. Taking nothing away from Douglas though he squared up to Tyson like no-one else had done to that point.
I remember Tyson giving an interview in the mid 90’s saying he knew he was in the ring with a guy with a heart of a champion. Mike said he knew within halfway through the first round it was going to take the best fight of his career to win this fight. Mike took some serious shots early within this fight,but was able to recover and get a knockdown in round 7. But Mike knew Buster Douglas was going to get back up,and it would take more than a knockdown to win this fight. Once Buster Douglas recovered and landed some big shots in the 9th round it hurt Tyson badly and his legs just wasn’t there. This was the first time Mike Tyson had been dragged into deep waters late in a fight,and Buster Douglas landed more powerful shots to finish Tyson off. What a great fight! These guys was throwing some of the hardest punches you will ever see during a heavyweight boxing match. Just some monster shots being thrown beating each other up pretty good.
Yes, the first thing one sees is that as long as Tyson moved his head, Douglas did not hit him with ease, but often Tyson did not see the punches coming. Probably it is true that he had party with escorts and alcohol the night before the fight as he reports.
@@travzimmerman1340 that's simple history, dear. Didn't you read journals in the days before the fight? Just search and read "SPORTS OF THE TIMES; Is Tyson Sabotaging Himself?" on NYT. But several other journals and other periodicals were reporting the progressive drop of a boxer lifestyle by Tyson. Goodbye. 😉
@@travzimmerman1340 Manny Steward said Tyson's defense was predicated on rapid head movement and that one he lost a fraction of a second on that, he'd start getting hit. Steward's prediction came true.
Dude got his own video game after this. He didn’t let Mike scare him, and he came ready to fight. I’m a huge Tyson fan, but Buster took it to him that night.
being knocked out by a 42-1 underdog is disgraceful. Tyson not a top 10 HW. Holyfield & Lewis were always better than Tyson at any stage of his career.
@@cone78omdiaco21 honestly I do see why, he was explosive in the first 3 rounds but after that he was like a wet fart, he definitely went for quick knockouts cuz he couldn’t do anything else
Mike got his ass whooped buster broke out a big can of whoop ass Tyson could dish it out but he couldn't take straight jabs and buster had the reach on him and took advantage of it
I remember the fight very well, & how Douglas truly shocked. No one expected him to last more than a round or two, including Tyson., who had clearly not prepared well for the fight. When Douglas started backing Tyson up & landing big shots, I remember thinking that no one had ever done that & that an upset was coming. In the post fight interview, Douglas dedicated the fight to his recently deceased mother. After the big pay day, though, he lost his drive & got fat. In his only title defense a few months later, The Real Deal Holyfield made short work of him.
At the angle there was no more Rooney. They had not even ice, they used a glove filled with water to cool Tyson's left swollen eye. With such amateurism in the corner and Tyson going to prostitutes and drinking the night before the fight, I think all the former world champions he had previously knocked out would have beaten him too.
I don't think Douglas ever really got the credit he should have. He fought an absolutely beautiful fight. If he could have kept that up, he would have been one of the best ever.
Only time he did himself justice as a fighter. The word on Douglas was that he didn't have the mentality, didn't train hard enough or really want to win at all costs when it came down to it. His dad had been a Middleweight fringe contender in the 1970s, so maybe he was pushed into boxing, rather than it being something he wanted to do? No doubt he had all the tools, in terms of talent, size, power etc, but he lacked Ingredient X that turns a good fighter into a champion. Everyone expected Tyson to destroy him early, but for a strange turn of fate, Douglas for one night only got it all together, even dragging himself of the canvas from a bad knockdown late in the fight to go on and finish Tyson. Yes, we know Tyson was imploding outside the ring at this time and it affected his performance badly, but on this night this version of Douglas would have given him major problems at Tyson's best, even if he wouldn't necessarily have beaten him. That should not take away from Douglas's accomplishment though; it's not his fault that he was prepared and Tyson wasn't. Of course, having scaled the heights, Douglas reverted to type - and then some - next time out against Holyfield, putting in one the worst imaginable performances even seen by a legitimate defending champion. I believe he was paid $24m to defend against Holyfield, which was basically a retirement fund. He didn't fight again for 6 years after the Holyfield loss and ballooned up so much he fell into a diabetic coma at one point.
@@johnniea4684 from busters own mouth he said he hated boxing. he only did it because his dad forced him. he hated the training and running. he was in peak physical condition for this fight which is why he won. for holyfield, he went back to not training hard and collect a check.
"in boxing history i can't see playing box like this like this not? It seems like there might be some confusion or frustration expressed here. A response could be: "The fight was definitely unconventional. What aspects did you find particularly surprising?
I watched this fight live! I had never heard of James Buster Douglas! Tyson thought it was going to be an easy payday! If a person had bet 100.00 on Douglas they could have gone on vacation for a month!
How in the written commentary going on in the video above, they keep expecting one big shot from Tyson and changing it completely, which didn't happen. They seems to be a fan-base of Tyson. Not giving any credit the skills of Buster.
It's funny hearing Tyson fans scramble to redefine what a boxer's "prime" means. He was 23. It's great to hear the "He wasn't focused" as am excuse too...like being overly coach-dependent/mentally weak makes it better. It doesn't.
Apparently it was up to Douglas to not only be brought to Tokyo for relative pennies to serve as Iron Mike's latest sacrificial lamb, but also to ensure that Tyson behaved like a dedicated champion, rather than an absolute ingrate and head case.
Exactly, boxing is a personal sport, and in personal sport what wins is training, dedication, focus, and preforming, Tyson didn’t dedicate to the fight, wasn’t focused, definitely didn’t train, and tried to preform. It’s like trying to run a mile after drinking milk, sucks for Tyson though he could’ve won
@goobernator50k21 His fault for not knowing that. No blame-shift, no excuse-lending. He didn't get caught with a "lucky shot". He got dominated, out-boxed, out-worked, and Knocked Out.
Refs instinctively know if a guy is coherent to continue. Richard Steel was spot on saving Meldrick Taylor that he was heavily critizised for irrespective of all other factors on that night.

I saw this fight as well. Buster's superior jab, and extreme reach advantage as well height, and knowing how to step away and keep outside were his physical advantages.
He was also in perhaps the best physical condition he'd been in in many years. He also had utilized some wisdom.
Mike on the other hand at this point seemed to be somewhat of a lost fighter believing there was not much else to conquer. His corner was not well run. His own conditioning and training were not taken seriously enough and it showed.
Ultimately, in the individual sports, you may have a team, an entourage, and well wishers. It however is you that must perform.
True that the count on the knockdown was fragmented. It started late, and was broken up in the process.
You however as an individual have little choice but to carry on and overcome. Buster Douglas overcame, and was the clear winner, dominating this fight.
Mike knew it. Everybody who saw it knew it. Great fight to watch, and sad in many ways as well.
Definitely a time gone by. Thanks for the video clip here, it was great seeing it again.

Buster lost his mother the day before I think also. There was just no way he was gonna lose that fight, no matter who he was in that ring with
@@mmurmurjohnson2368
Quite true Mmurmur, I remember that as well. Very good for you to notate it.
It definitely had an effect on Buster Douglas, no doubt.

Tyson should have finished Buster when he knocked him down the first time.
@@zztop8592,
Agreed zz, thus the differences in the more disciplined Mike, and the one we saw that night.

Tyson had an amazing chin, he took some heavy shots, the sound those shots made were amazing, buster fought the fight of his life.
One of the greatest exhibition of boxing. Douglas annihilated Tyson.
7:14 I can see... annihilated... money decide who win
i would not say annihilated, Douglas stayed on the canvas until a count of 9 before he got the knockout
And the commentators was really trying to not big him think they mentioned his hand speed for the first time in round 8

Have you watched the fight or just the Douglas knockdown?
Mike was obliterated
@@travzimmerman1340 Mike shrugged after knocking him down and was almost going to help him up before the ref waved him to his corner. Have you ever heard of a "staged fight"? It's a real thing in the controlled sport of boxing.
Buster fought hard a great fight fair play to the man.
EXACTLY funny how some people cant give Buster Douglas his flowers 🥊
Not sure what your saying, but I agree you need take a good English class!
A great win for Buster,
Too bad it was short lived smdbh...
Actually he lost,he was knocked out ,the ref fxxked up

@@QuickHittinEmnot how boxing works, it’s not a “count to ten” it’s a “count to ten by the ref” meaning the rule is when the ref finishes his count not when ten seconds has passed. It’s the rules
👍. I was at Charlie Browns in tenaly nj having a beer when some stranger busts in like Paul Revere yelling "Mike tyson been knocked out, Mike tysons been knocked out!" & ran out. We all weren't aware there even was a heavy weight fight at the time. Cool to watch decades later, ty.
like Paul Revere, haha
You can see how far Mike's skills have eroded since Don King fired Kevin Rooney. How many punches does he slip? He was getting tattooed all night with flush shots to the face. He took more punches in this fight than the last 20 fights combined. He went from being a slick defensive fighter that rarely got caught to a one or two punch brawler and it caught up with him.
Lol um Mike Tyson was getting hit by James Tillis even with Kevin Rooney in his corner. You Tyson fanboys making excuses for Tyson crack me up.
How does Don King (a promoter) effect Mikes ability as a fighter?? I don't recall Muhammed Ali falling apart when he was promoted by King back in the days.
@@BiggieBigLnPac I will start with the biggest negative influence Don King had on Tyson. He fired his trainer Kevin Rooney and replaced with with Aaron Snowell, a young inexperienced trainer who had NEVER been a head trainer before. Snowell was not equipped to train Mike in the Cus D'aMatto peek a boo style. Because of this parts of Mike's technical skills eroded away. Defense, Mike when from a guy who was VERY hit to a stationary target, eating punches all night. Look at the Buster Douglas fight. I would be willing to bet Mike got hit with more punches that night than in every one of his previous fights combined. Technique, when you look at the punch stats per round, Mikes jabs per round started dropping immediately. He went from a guy who averaged 24 jabs a round to a guy who threw 7 per round. In Mikes Peek A Boo style the jab is very important, it was what everything else was built on. The jab was a way in, it also led to combinations off the jab. His combination rate also plummeted dropping from averaging 25 combos a round to three or four per round. Mike when from a technically gifted defensive fighter who worked off the jab and delivered deadly combinations to an easily hit target that ignored the jab and combinations to throw bombs, one or two at a time.
Don King's choices for Tyson was the biggest reason for his downfall. They were all yes men who couldn't stand up to Tyson and demand that he work harder. Tyson was famous for not wanting to train very hard in the Don King era.
@@googlemyself4091per Tyson il match con Tillis è stato solamente un gioco😃
don king didnt fire nobody tyson did
On February 11, 1990, in Tokyo, Japan, the earth stood still. There's no doubt whatsoever that those individuals who bet their money and their life savings on Tyson all walked away having their feelings hurt.
The first time Tyson’s spanned around and could see entire solar system 😂😂
😂😂😂
In almost every round Douglas was ahead on points, all he had to do was avoid another knockout
I know this is an old post, but I thought you may find this crazy, I did- The official scorecards through nine rounds were 87-86 for Tyson, 86-86, and 88-83 for Douglas.
I saw that fight. Buster Douglas "shook up the world!"

Best fight ever see,marvelous!!!
That was a great fight. Buster fighting the fight of his life. Wow.

This is the best fight of the 20th century.
TYSON is prime in his career and 6 year younger than Douglas. Nobody can think Douglas would knock Tyson out but Douglas beats Tyson in very fair and square.
Good win for Douglas in history of boxing forever.
Not even close to the best fight of the 20th century.
He got an ass whooping and he wasnt the same again
The ignorant black man will always destroy his kind!

But in my book that is the happiest day❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bob "the Colonel" Sheridan was a fantastic boxing commentator!
And a really nice man; I interviewed him twice and he was ALWAYS generous with his time!
Tyson and his followers took this man lightly. What a mistake because Douglas was on that night. Tyson beat most fighters before the fight with his rep but Douglas had nothing to loose that night and fought that way.
Fought with total belief and absolutely no fear - unlike most of Tyson's opponents, who were usually beaten before they entered the ring. If Tyson was at his very best this version of Douglas gives him a hell of a fight. He had all the tools to give Tyson nightmares, style-wise.
@@johnniea4684 agree!
@@johnniea4684 Buster was perfect that night
@@johnniea4684 EXACTLY! Buster had NO FEAR of Tyson. And when Tyson looked into his eyes and saw that Buster was not afraid, Tyson was shook.
This was not 'prime' Tyson that night. Kevin Rooney wasn't his trainer anymore and his personal issues had begun, not least that episode with the hooker. He wasn't in the same physical condition of 1986-89 and that's not up for debate. Taking nothing away from Douglas though he squared up to Tyson like no-one else had done to that point.
The part I remember about this fight was Tyson trying to get his mouth piece. Something I never thought to see.
I remember Tyson giving an interview in the mid 90’s saying he knew he was in the ring with a guy with a heart of a champion. Mike said he knew within halfway through the first round it was going to take the best fight of his career to win this fight. Mike took some serious shots early within this fight,but was able to recover and get a knockdown in round 7. But Mike knew Buster Douglas was going to get back up,and it would take more than a knockdown to win this fight. Once Buster Douglas recovered and landed some big shots in the 9th round it hurt Tyson badly and his legs just wasn’t there. This was the first time Mike Tyson had been dragged into deep waters late in a fight,and Buster Douglas landed more powerful shots to finish Tyson off. What a great fight! These guys was throwing some of the hardest punches you will ever see during a heavyweight boxing match. Just some monster shots being thrown beating each other up pretty good.
Ohio loves it when we’re the underdogs, makes us stronger.😊
Mike Tyson had plan A, no plan B despite what he said about plans
Give it to Buster Douglas: the big engine that could.
Buster "I couldnt believe how easy he was to hit"
Yes, the first thing one sees is that as long as Tyson moved his head, Douglas did not hit him with ease, but often Tyson did not see the punches coming. Probably it is true that he had party with escorts and alcohol the night before the fight as he reports.
@@ettoredalfarra2
Enough with the excuses, Fangirl casual.
@@travzimmerman1340 that's simple history, dear. Didn't you read journals in the days before the fight? Just search and read "SPORTS OF THE TIMES; Is Tyson Sabotaging Himself?" on NYT. But several other journals and other periodicals were reporting the progressive drop of a boxer lifestyle by Tyson. Goodbye. 😉
@@travzimmerman1340 just google search "SPORTS OF THE TIMES; Is Tyson Sabotaging Himself?". You cannot change the past by hate. It is history.
@@travzimmerman1340 Manny Steward said Tyson's defense was predicated on rapid head movement and that one he lost a fraction of a second on that, he'd start getting hit. Steward's prediction came true.
Dude got his own video game after this. He didn’t let Mike scare him, and he came ready to fight. I’m a huge Tyson fan, but Buster took it to him that night.
Tyson has nothing to be ashamed of, he is and will always be number 1, Douglas fought his heat out.. really
being knocked out by a 42-1 underdog is disgraceful. Tyson not a top 10 HW. Holyfield & Lewis were always better than Tyson at any stage of his career.

Mike got his ass whooped buster broke out a big can of whoop ass Tyson could dish it out but he couldn't take straight jabs and buster had the reach on him and took advantage of it
james buster was like a boxing machine made of steel
I remember the fight very well, & how Douglas truly shocked. No one expected him to last more than a round or two, including Tyson., who had clearly not prepared well for the fight. When Douglas started backing Tyson up & landing big shots, I remember thinking that no one had ever done that & that an upset was coming. In the post fight interview, Douglas dedicated the fight to his recently deceased mother. After the big pay day, though, he lost his drive & got fat. In his only title defense a few months later, The Real Deal Holyfield made short work of him.
This was one of the worst times of my life
At the angle there was no more Rooney. They had not even ice, they used a glove filled with water to cool Tyson's left swollen eye. With such amateurism in the corner and Tyson going to prostitutes and drinking the night before the fight, I think all the former world champions he had previously knocked out would have beaten him too.

Mike Tyson once said his career ended in 1990
He was pretty much correct.

shocked the world......any heavy weight has the ability to knock out any heavy weight at any given time
Two very good fighters! As in every fight one man's head was in the game and the other's became the game.
Can we all thank the Japanese crowd not making noise. We can hear the bombs and foot work. This will never happen again.
haha, so true!
I don't think Douglas ever really got the credit he should have. He fought an absolutely beautiful fight. If he could have kept that up, he would have been one of the best ever.
Only time he did himself justice as a fighter. The word on Douglas was that he didn't have the mentality, didn't train hard enough or really want to win at all costs when it came down to it. His dad had been a Middleweight fringe contender in the 1970s, so maybe he was pushed into boxing, rather than it being something he wanted to do? No doubt he had all the tools, in terms of talent, size, power etc, but he lacked Ingredient X that turns a good fighter into a champion. Everyone expected Tyson to destroy him early, but for a strange turn of fate, Douglas for one night only got it all together, even dragging himself of the canvas from a bad knockdown late in the fight to go on and finish Tyson.
Yes, we know Tyson was imploding outside the ring at this time and it affected his performance badly, but on this night this version of Douglas would have given him major problems at Tyson's best, even if he wouldn't necessarily have beaten him. That should not take away from Douglas's accomplishment though; it's not his fault that he was prepared and Tyson wasn't. Of course, having scaled the heights, Douglas reverted to type - and then some - next time out against Holyfield, putting in one the worst imaginable performances even seen by a legitimate defending champion. I believe he was paid $24m to defend against Holyfield, which was basically a retirement fund. He didn't fight again for 6 years after the Holyfield loss and ballooned up so much he fell into a diabetic coma at one point.
@@johnniea4684 from busters own mouth he said he hated boxing. he only did it because his dad forced him. he hated the training and running. he was in peak physical condition for this fight which is why he won. for holyfield, he went back to not training hard and collect a check.
@@JohnSmith-dm1wo Yeah, I can believe that. he never seemed in love with the sport.
Best fight ever.
You're doing an outstanding job! 👍
Buster busted up Tyson
Ok?
At the end of the video, Mike Tyson had that same look on his face as the bully from A Christmas Story after he got his ass whooped.
Correct 💯
Buster looker like he was in fabulous shape, and he simply came to fight. And he showed no fear, he was relentless from the start.
James has analyzed Mikes fighting style and attached him perfectly
Surprisingly Phil Collins portrayed Buster perfectly in the film.
in boxing history i can't see playing box like this like this not yet
"in boxing history i can't see playing box like this like this not? It seems like there might be some confusion or frustration expressed here. A response could be: "The fight was definitely unconventional. What aspects did you find particularly surprising?
What a great display by Buster!!Absolutely classic display by Buster.
Buster really gave hard and un forgetful brutal hiding to Mike . Mike thought I am smart and will win the fight but Buster is a great boxer .

Buster had great talent his problem was keeping in sharpe he would have probably beaten Holyfield if he didn’t ballon in weigh for that fight
He can't beat Holyfield.
How in the written commentary going on in the video above, they keep expecting one big shot from Tyson and changing it completely, which didn't happen. They seems to be a fan-base of Tyson. Not giving any credit the skills of Buster.
That's what paid shills do.
It's funny hearing Tyson fans scramble to redefine what a boxer's "prime" means. He was 23.
It's great to hear the "He wasn't focused" as am excuse too...like being overly coach-dependent/mentally weak makes it better.
It doesn't.
Apparently it was up to Douglas to not only be brought to Tokyo for relative pennies to serve as Iron Mike's latest sacrificial lamb, but also to ensure that Tyson behaved like a dedicated champion, rather than an absolute ingrate and head case.
Exactly, boxing is a personal sport, and in personal sport what wins is training, dedication, focus, and preforming, Tyson didn’t dedicate to the fight, wasn’t focused, definitely didn’t train, and tried to preform. It’s like trying to run a mile after drinking milk, sucks for Tyson though he could’ve won
@goobernator50k21 His fault for not knowing that.
No blame-shift, no excuse-lending.
He didn't get caught with a "lucky shot".
He got dominated, out-boxed, out-worked, and Knocked Out.
Best Fight that Anyone Could See.Douglas Dominated the Whole Fight.😊
Tyson didn’t look at all like himself but Buster was the real deal. After 37-0, Mike seemed invincible.
Many of those 37-0 opponents were low grade.
buster Douglas throws very well good ❤
best fight ever..in my opinion
Must not watch many fights.
Im a big Tyson fan and He held up well especially considering he is undersized for a heavyweight.
*What a battle!*
Best fight ever
In the modern times no referee would allow Buster Douglas to get up off that 9 count.
Modern refs would have robbed Douglas in that case.
Refs instinctively know if a guy is coherent to continue. Richard Steel was spot on saving Meldrick Taylor that he was heavily critizised for irrespective of all other factors on that night.
Great Fight it reminds me of Hearns vs Hagler
I think Mike learnt a very good lesson from the hidings from Buster . Buster is a great boxer .
