I started watching this fight on HBO at bedtime where I lived. I expected a quick knockout. My wife fell asleep. Finally Tyson floored Douglas and I started to turn it off. Buster got up. I kept watching it, I was enthalled with Douglas' grit and determination. That last round was amazing. You can say what you want, Tyson didn't train, blah, blah- but Buster Douglas had the heart of a lion, at least this one time in his life.
100%......kudos to buster but I always said (around the I want to eat his children era) that the only man who would ever beat Mike Tyson was Mike Tyson
IDK...I don't think, at least by Tyson's own words, that Doublas was fighting against Tyson the bully. I don't know why he would lie about it, but according to Tyson he wasn't the same before this fight...and he decided to retire bc he had too much respect for the sport to keep going knowing that his heart was no longer in it like it used to be.
I come back and watch this full fight a couple times a year, because it's just so interesting - the backstory, how the fight unfolds, and Douglas' inspiring performance.
This legit made me feel like crying, Because it’s so fucking beautiful, both of them showed what the human spirit is capable of when completely determined. Tyson was a strong opponent but Douglas had a greater resolve, when he went down in the later rounds I can feel like he’s thinking i can’t go down like this as the judge was counting, he got up and kept grinding at Tyson and won. Such a beautiful fight.
Buster Douglas used to live right next to my mom in Gahanna, Ohio (Columbus, Ohio) right before he started becoming a star. She knew he boxed, but didn’t know a whole lot about him. She told me he was a nice guy and that they talked every once in awhile. My mom and I still live in Gahanna and it’s weird to think that years before I was born he was my neighbor.

I'm 36 years old, I've recently started enjoying boxing, and I only know Tyson by name. Today, 11/05/2024, I decided to watch all of Tyson's fights to learn about his story.
Me and my brother watched this on HBO my brother was a big Tyson fan but when it looked like Douglas might win suddenly he started cheering for Douglas and when he knocked him down was going crazy,to this day never seen anyone go from a big fan of one guy to doing a complete 180 on someone. Just never saw that before that's what I always think of when I watch this
I came just to see if he bites his gloves, I didn't see it , he would put his hands close to his face to protect but he wasn't biting like his matchup with Paul
I love how Douglas wasnt intimidated by Tyson. So many boxers were scared of Tyson, but Busta wasnt. Tyson, for most of this fight, looked lost and bewildered.
Buster displayed the beauty of boxing the entire fight with his movement, use of the jab, his lion heart and by puting it all together. Just beautiful to watch his skills.
I can't believe he didn't get tired pushing out of the clinch so often in the later rounds. Tyson was just grabbing him and holding on for dear life, and allowing Douglas to push him off over and over.
40:25 maybe the greatest moment in combat sports history. Knowing what Douglas went through brings a tear to your eye. A year and three days after i was born, the giant was slain.

This is probably the best heavyweight fight I've ever seen. I remember watching it live when it happened. I couldn't believe it then and I remember in the aftermath people were incorrectly saying Buster got in a lucky punch. But no, this was a masterful fight by a contender who's destiny beckoned, and who was ready to step up and grasp immortality aided by some luck and timing and a fight team in his corner with a precocious strategy to beat the unbeatable. It's instructive and poignant to see how small Tyson looked when he was on the back foot with a closed eye and in a dark place he'd not been before. Brilliant! Bravo! To both. "If it bleeds we can kill it"
Truly an immortalized moment in the sport. Buster Douglas' achievement on his night will never ever be forgotten. Not only because he pulled off an upset that nearly nobody predicted, but despite all the setbacks leading into the fight it did not stop him. If anything it, they were the fuels that drove him to this unforgettable triumph!
Douglas was at his best, but very clearly Tyson from opening bell was at his worst! No spring in legs. No hand speed, no combos, stood in front of Douglas and made Douglas look good! Tyson like a champ reaching for mouth piece while hurt, Douglas in rd 3 of next fight taking out mouth piece and quitting
Beautiful ... I want to cry because the fight wasn't just against Mike. Mike was a symbol of everything negative in life. It was against what the world throws at you. What the world throws at you while you're down. An the man shows up and says not today not this fight. As a mother my self ... im glad the man had his moment.
At 42:44 is the first time ever that something was visible. It was the first time EVER that the fans saw the bottom of Tyson's shoes. You could say it was the first time we saw Tyson's sole.
He ref counted at the same speed for both the Douglas knockdown and Tysons knockdown, Buster Douglas listened to the count of the referee, a slow count maybe but Douglas just observed the referee.
Also, look at the rumble in the jungle between Ali and Foreman. That count was ridiculous. Foreman's head was raised after he fell. Ali hit like a little girl. Foreman was NEVER knocked out, but the "bought and paid for" referee IMMEDIATELY counts a lucid Foreman out then runs immediately out of the ring. LMFAO And further proof is that Ali walked away from millions upon millions fighting foreman to fight a worthless old white dude instead. LMFAO Facts
Thank you. Get tired of so called boxing fans bang on about the so called long count, and never give Douglas the credit he deserved for his great performance.
The thing with tyson is that his early style of fighting , peekaboo etc , constant knee bends side to side movement etc is very tireing especially as you get older .. what most of his fans didn't realise is that it's very hard to constantly fight that way as a heavyweight, I watched tyson from the beginning and my uncle told me tyson will not be able to keep up that style of fighting as he gets older... he was right... my uncle was a very knowledgeable guy when it came to boxing..
Great analysis. Agreed entirely. Tyson had to do the right things at all times to make up for his lack of size. He did that early in his career but did not later and it cost him. Some guys could get away with doing things the wrong way, Ali or Foreman comes to mind but they had physical advantages.
@@StreetStoriesEnt as he got older it was harder bro. He is a heavyweight! Cannot maintain thst style for 12rds. Watch the bonecrusher smith fight and tucker fighter were in his prime he is taken the distance.
Tyson became a professional at age 18, and he fought FREQUENTLY. In 1985 and 1986, he was fighting just about every month -- this was possible since so many of those fights were ending early.
@@davidmoser3535 I wasn't alive at that time but I have seen the actual fight many times. Liston was undefeated for 17 months and he scared fighters before the fight even happened! And clay wasn't scared!
Not many people watched this fight but everyone remembers vividly when they first became privy to the outcome. It was difficult to fathom. Never underestimate what a man losing his mother can do to his soul. It clearly raised Douglas to a different level not seen before or since that fight.
the prior 2 fights were tell tale signs that Tyson should've taken him serious ... he KO'd a favored Mike Williams and won a hard fight against Oliver McCall The first man to beat & ko Lennox Lewis... and McCall was a tough Tyson sparring partner. The guy that developed this Douglas is Richie Giacceti... but he wasn't getting paid. The crazy move that Douglas does is the minute second after they're separated in a clinch he starts to attack... especially in the 9th where Larry Merchant yells Mike is hurt... to Douglas' credit Mike hit after the bell in literally all his fights and was known to throw elbows Haha... Mike Tyson flat on his ass
Tyson, just before this fight, fired Kevin Rooney and replaced his entire team with Don King's friend and family. This fight became the pattern for the rest of his career. It's to bad.
dont forget that a loss of love makes you realise what matters in life ... and when its time to fight .. you dont giive aa foooook about what happens ..... regardless of partying and everything else ... tyson knew the FIRE buster had for this fight .. he knew from losing CUS early on ..and he knew the flame of love was coming like a train towards him ... tyson loved cus and knew the feeling of that loss ... its all about love bois remember that
It wasn’t that bad. The worst guy for clinching was Ali. Refs let him get away with more shit than anybody else because he was a money machine for boxing.
great story!! This was the first boxing match I ever watched. My dad actually bought the pay per view...another first for us. He wanted me to see Tyson the Invincible. I saw THIS. It was a good introduction to boxing, honestly
Noticeably Tyson is not in his usual boxing style, that bobbing and weaving is not there, he look lost all through the fight. But you still give credit to Douglas, his approach on offense of not giving Tyson an inch to recover is incredibly delivered. The follow up after uppercut is extra ordinary.
Naw fam, he fought a drunk Mike Tyson's here, mike wanted to rematch buster Sober, but buster ran away, and literally LAID DOWN , against holifield, thought about getting up, but stayed down, to collect his money and was never heard from again....
I remember telling my father that Buster was going to win this fight. He said, "Are you crazy that's Mike tyson." I said, so he's not scared of Tyson like everyone else was.
Tyson looked so disengaged with all of it, especially when they would brake where there was no bounce in his step on the ready. If you loved Mike like we did back in the day when we witnessed this live then you would’ve felt just like me so sad and so much pain to watch him in this fight knowing that if Cuz was there.... well let’s just say we still love you Mike.
The man promised his momma he would beat Tyson and tho she passed away before the fight. Douglas was absolutely not going to break that promise cuz he knew just how much it meant to his momma. Beautiful display of determination and devotion to go against all odds and to not be defeated
absolutely. compare this to a Tyson fight from 1985-1988 and it's obvious that he's not ready for this fight. He got beat but he also didn't bring his best by any stretch.
Tyson whined about Holyfield using his head. This fight just like every other he uses his head and elbows as weapons, especially once he starts getting hit.
All throughout Mike Tyson’s carrier the media and announcers have talked down about how he fights or calling him fat yet he was one of if not the best boxers in history. Mike’s whole life has been like this. He fought to stay up while the whole world tried to kick him down.
Throughout his early career the media kissed his ass, not sure what you are talking about. At some point Tyson didn't prepare and was overweight and raped and acted like a thug and bit an ear and went to jail. Thankfully he turned it all around, thanks to DMT and mushrooms.
Mike is not in shape here. It shows. He is sluggish, slow, soft looking. Not in shape & not motivated. This was way below his potential & Douglas probably fought his best fight for an inferior fighter
Mike Tyson prime years were different he still could have been the most dominate heavyweight of all time you see Mike Tyson was all about skills when he was with cus but after that it was all about being an animal & conquerer along with aggression & bad lifestyle outside of boxing to wear the body doesn’t respond they way you want it to if Mike kept on polishing his skills history would be different
@@BoxOf0121 Tyson could never have the dominant type of career that Ali, Lennox Lewis, or Tyson Fury had. He was washed up even before he was 30. He never dominated the fighting world like the 3 mentioned here.
Whiners keep thinking Tyson won. This full fight shows who was better. Look at the number of punches Tyson received and vice versa. Tyson was clearly weakened. He was extremely lucky with his uppercut. Also, compare the way Buster and Tyson get up. Tyson was off balance, Buster wasn't. Everyone knew it was a matter of time Tyson would be knocked out. Too many punches landed. When you get so many punches, you lose stamina and accuracy. This is what happened to Tyson. Stop cheerleading and start analyzing the fight.
From what I read Tyson was hard to handle and often went against his trainers not showing up for work outs. It's my understanding the night of the fight Tyson was out with the Japanese girls until the early morning hours. When He came in his friend told Tyson you have a fight in a about 12 hours. Tyson's exact words were" I can beat him if I were up two weeks without any sleep. When Tyson showed up at the ring his trainers could see he was tired and not ready for a fight. Even Tyson's corner men weren't ready and had to put ice in a rubber glove to apply to Mikes swollen face. No one was ready and took Douglas as another bum Tyson will put his lights out in a round or two.These were all the other fight so why will this be any different. Well Tyson got his ass handed to him as he should have.Or a my Grandpa once said "he got to big for his britches. Once he had 340 million dollars now he has a marijuana farm but so do a lot of pother thugs. Tyson said once when asked why he lost his 340 million. Answer: I dunno but I sure had a lot of fun. What I though was hilarious was the audience Japanese audience sat and watched the fight like wax statutes. So they had to dub shucking and jiving noise to make it more like a natural fight.I will never forget that fight over 30 years ago.
@@IamAkoma how is it a excuse nobody is taking anything from Douglas but the truth is there for all to see, he got a fluke win on a overconfident tyson then lost it right away to holyfield and went back to being a nobody.
Mike was physically there, but mentally, he was somewhere else. I watched that fight live on pay per view, and it was really a shock to see Mike defeated.
Buster had more on his mind than Mike had. His mom had just passed away three weeks before this fight. He even said that this really interrupted his training due to having so many things to take care of. But he was determined to SHOCK THE WORLD, which is what he promised him momma that he'd do. And he did it.
Tyson said in"Undisputed Truth"that his corner said,:”You've got to close the gap,get inside and get UNDER his jab!!" Mike said he frustratedly replied:"Why don't-------YOU get in there and get under his jab?!? This guy has a TWELVE-inch reach-advantage on me!!😂
When you look at the size of Douglas how can you blame Mike. The fact Mike was taking down people this size is ridiculous in itself. We are only human. Humanizing Mike only makes his story more incredible. What a moment in history.
Buster was heartbroken because of his mother’s death because of that he didn’t care if he lived or died he just wanted to let go of that rage inside of him
The ignored beauty of this fight is you have one guy fighting with anger, and frustration, probably some hate, and you have a guy fighting for love, and love won the fight. James Douglas' dedicated this whole training camp and fight to his at the time recently deceased Mom, and his love for his Mom, and it worked! He showed how much she meant to him that night!! ❤
I'm so glad Larry Merchant is no longer a commentator . I use to have to turn sound off on my tv to watch big fights , so that I didn't have to listen to Larry Merchant's no nothing commentary. It's such a joy to be able to have the sound on when I watch big fights again. Good riddance to Larry Merchant's crappy commentaries .
@@shawnhughes4192 yeah yeah we know....I am a big Tyson fan and people will always dispute this stuff. Buster smashed him and won fair and square. The count times are irrelevant. Respect the referee. Did you see how many times the referee nearly got hit?
@@datner76 true!!! its a war, and YOLO so it is wut it is! but Buster was a one hit wonder as after man couldnt win at all... AND maybe Tyson wins and says No more booze or sluts or Donny King and is by far goat ever? life is crazy!!
Not excuses but a fact That from opening Bell mike was completely flat! HE showed none of skills, stationary target, no hand speed, 1 punch at a time, no footwork..Anyone who seen all his fights will tell you
No, he was 12 seconds… it is clearly shown at 34:13 the guy out of the ring, with the white gloves, is counting 2 seconds more than the referee inside the ring… when the referee started counting, the white gloves guy had already counted 2 seconds. Period.
This was a good fight but what people don't know once Tyson got rid of alot of people right before this fight when he hired all those black folks with Don king they automatically wanted him to lose go do your research people he actually beat buster when he knocked him down that was definitely a 10 count and later after the fight it was discussed that Mike Tyson was cheated but in a way it was Tyson fought u got rid of your team for a money hungry Don king and they wasn't going for that if u seen the mike Tyson movie 🎥 it's even on there they wanted Mike Tyson to lose this fight they couldn't let him walk away being champ and have all the money and they was count out the deal people better stay woke it still goes on till this day in the music industry half of the rapper's you see get locked up or end up dead they either was beefing with someone meaning another rapper and that rapper has ties with someone bigger than him so they playing with that person money even if u go to Michael Jackson he tried to ex everyone out and he bought his masters to his music and he ended up dead most people be worth more dead then alive in this case they had to take the title from Mike Tyson he was becoming to powerful and he bite the hand 🖐️ that fed him and that's the number 1️⃣ Rule never bite the hand that feeds you he switched up and got a whole new team so the fight was very good and entertaining but it's better people who call the shots it was a fair fight but the ref was told to count slow when he knocked out buster
Here there are, the best heavy fight of all times: 1). Ali - Foreman , Zaire 1974 2). Marciano- Walcott, Phill 1952 3). Ali- Frazier, Manila 1975 4). Douglas- Tyson, Tokyo 1990. 5) Clay- Liston. Miami 1.964.
Pfft BS! You just name this one and a few main media named classics. Pic one of the Bowe/Holyfield trilogy or prob 2, 3. AlivsFrazier is way more of superior boxing, Foreman was just punching wide and sloppy and Ali let him tiring out. Also Lewis/Holyfield was hard and good fighting

How is it underrated? This fight is famous even among non fans.
The result is famous yes, however the actual fight itself was underrated imo.@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017
Douglas was at his best, but very clearly Tyson from opening bell was at his worst! No spring in legs. No hand speed, no combos, stood in front of Douglas and made Douglas look good! Tyson like a champ reaching for mouth piece while hurt, Douglas in rd 3 of next fight taking out mouth piece and quitting
Beautiful ... I want to cry because the fight wasn't just against Mike. Mike was a symbol of everything negative in life. It was against what the world throws at you. What the world throws at you while you're down. An the man shows up and says not today not this fight. As a mother my self ... im glad the man had his moment.
Tyson was not negative

Tyson was robbed! buster went down, that was a 14count!
@asintonhe Michael was smashed....he also had long count which happens in boxing.
At 42:44 is the first time ever that something was visible. It was the first time EVER that the fans saw the bottom of Tyson's shoes. You could say it was the first time we saw Tyson's sole.
Shut up
41:50 the first time we seen douglas kiss a man
@@whyoumad4LMFAOOOO
He ref counted at the same speed for both the Douglas knockdown and Tysons knockdown, Buster Douglas listened to the count of the referee, a slow count maybe but Douglas just observed the referee.
Also, look at the rumble in the jungle between Ali and Foreman.
That count was ridiculous.
Foreman's head was raised after he fell. Ali hit like a little girl. Foreman was NEVER knocked out, but the "bought and paid for" referee IMMEDIATELY counts a lucid Foreman out then runs immediately out of the ring.
LMFAO
And further proof is that Ali walked away from millions upon millions fighting foreman to fight a worthless old white dude instead. LMFAO
Facts
Thank you. Get tired of so called boxing fans bang on about the so called long count, and never give Douglas the credit he deserved for his great performance.
Wtf just watch the clock

Despite this lose, Mike Tyson is still the greatest boxer of all time if you watched all his fights
Su questo non c'è dubbio.
Holly Field
Mike is one of the greatest
Not even Top 40. He didn't fight anybody but Bums. Ali is the Greatest EVER!
what about killer dwillis of estonia
The thing with tyson is that his early style of fighting , peekaboo etc , constant knee bends side to side movement etc is very tireing especially as you get older .. what most of his fans didn't realise is that it's very hard to constantly fight that way as a heavyweight, I watched tyson from the beginning and my uncle told me tyson will not be able to keep up that style of fighting as he gets older... he was right... my uncle was a very knowledgeable guy when it came to boxing..
Great analysis. Agreed entirely. Tyson had to do the right things at all times to make up for his lack of size. He did that early in his career but did not later and it cost him. Some guys could get away with doing things the wrong way, Ali or Foreman comes to mind but they had physical advantages.
💯 agreed
He didnt use the peek a boo like he did when he first came he really didnt use it at all just flashes of it when he got mad
“As he gets older? He was 23 in this fight.”
@@StreetStoriesEnt as he got older it was harder bro. He is a heavyweight! Cannot maintain thst style for 12rds. Watch the bonecrusher smith fight and tucker fighter were in his prime he is taken the distance.
That was a Damm good fight for all the people who love boxing.
Tyson was only 23. Crazy.
He started out young
Tyson became a professional at age 18, and he fought FREQUENTLY. In 1985 and 1986, he was fighting just about every month -- this was possible since so many of those fights were ending early.

This was Buster''s fight from the start, counts or not.
Exactly. People get too tied up on counts and bullshit. Buster was the better man that night and beat Mike up bad
Bullshit, if the Ref was a Pro, things would've been different good or bad for Mike.
Buster's mom died and he said he was fighting for her, never underestimate that.
@@nathanielgathing659 nothing could have saved Mike except a lot more preparation.
Not many people watched this fight but everyone remembers vividly when they first became privy to the outcome. It was difficult to fathom. Never underestimate what a man losing his mother can do to his soul. It clearly raised Douglas to a different level not seen before or since that fight.
Or a man losing his father. You can't beat raw emotion.
He clearly lost in the eighth
the prior 2 fights were tell tale signs that Tyson should've taken him serious ... he KO'd a favored Mike Williams and won a hard fight against Oliver McCall The first man to beat & ko Lennox Lewis... and McCall was a tough Tyson sparring partner.
The guy that developed this Douglas is Richie Giacceti... but he wasn't getting paid.
The crazy move that Douglas does is the minute second after they're separated in a clinch he starts to attack... especially in the 9th where Larry Merchant yells Mike is hurt... to Douglas' credit
Mike hit after the bell in literally all his fights and was known to throw elbows

Tyson, just before this fight, fired Kevin Rooney and replaced his entire team with Don King's friend and family. This fight became the pattern for the rest of his career. It's to bad.
dont forget that a loss of love makes you realise what matters in life ... and when its time to fight .. you dont giive aa foooook about what happens ..... regardless of partying and everything else ... tyson knew the FIRE buster had for this fight .. he knew from losing CUS early on ..and he knew the flame of love was coming like a train towards him ... tyson loved cus and knew the feeling of that loss ... its all about love bois remember that

Mike had lost his eye of the tiger in this fight
Mike Tyson was humbled after this fight.
Noticeably Tyson is not in his usual boxing style, that bobbing and weaving is not there, he look lost all through the fight. But you still give credit to Douglas, his approach on offense of not giving Tyson an inch to recover is incredibly delivered. The follow up after uppercut is extra ordinary.
He was partying and on coke.. Mike tyson definitely wasn't there
That's exactly what I saw. Buster looked good but he will never be as good as Tyson. Everybody has a bad day
@@RonaldNorris-d2v Yep, and Buster really made this a bad day for Tyson.

I remember telling my father that Buster was going to win this fight. He said, "Are you crazy that's Mike tyson." I said, so he's not scared of Tyson like everyone else was.
Still love watching this after all these years. Lol. Tyson said WTF. Lol.
Tyson looked so disengaged with all of it, especially when they would brake where there was no bounce in his step on the ready. If you loved Mike like we did back in the day when we witnessed this live then you would’ve felt just like me so sad and so much pain to watch him in this fight knowing that if Cuz was there.... well let’s just say we still love you Mike.

The man promised his momma he would beat Tyson and tho she passed away before the fight. Douglas was absolutely not going to break that promise cuz he knew just how much it meant to his momma. Beautiful display of determination and devotion to go against all odds and to not be defeated
There was a single announcer doing this fight originally and he did a great job.

His father was Jimmy Lennon Sr. known the world over for is iconic voice of professional boxing. He is his fathers voice
The most beautiful ass whooping of all time. I like how Douglas looked him directly in the eye after every round like, " What's up " ?

40:30 mike knocked out

Tyson knocked out.
This changed my life...I was young....I realised nobody was invincible. I stopped playing with my toys that same day.
Tyson was flat footed and lacked his signature head movement... He lacked spark/energy from the opening bell.
absolutely. compare this to a Tyson fight from 1985-1988 and it's obvious that he's not ready for this fight. He got beat but he also didn't bring his best by any stretch.
That's right
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, The only way a lesser fighter wins
@@zelenicaljubljanica5410It was Tyson at like maybe 40%
The drama on each side that played out in Round 8 always brings a tear to my eyes.
Buster Jabs and uppercuts wanted all the smoke
Tyson whined about Holyfield using his head. This fight just like every other he uses his head and elbows as weapons, especially once he starts getting hit.
Yep. Tyson depends on that uppercut. Bout all he had or will ever have. Not a hatter,just it is,is what it is.
He used the clinch too.
Holyfield was notorious for headbutting tie ups.
Preparation wins bouts. Tyson was unprepared. Douglas was fighting for his dead Mom.
All throughout Mike Tyson’s carrier the media and announcers have talked down about how he fights or calling him fat yet he was one of if not the best boxers in history. Mike’s whole life has been like this. He fought to stay up while the whole world tried to kick him down.
Like when he raped that woman? Yeah the whole world is keeping him down. Tyson is a simple minded animal, nothing more.
Your spelling is terrible. You make people stupid reading your post.
Throughout his early career the media kissed his ass, not sure what you are talking about. At some point Tyson didn't prepare and was overweight and raped and acted like a thug and bit an ear and went to jail. Thankfully he turned it all around, thanks to DMT and mushrooms.
Tyson was partying with Bobby Brown until 5am. You can tell he's totally out of it.

Mike is not in shape here. It shows. He is sluggish, slow, soft looking. Not in shape & not motivated. This was way below his potential & Douglas probably fought his best fight for an inferior fighter
Imagine being only 24 years old, absolutely in your prime, and getting your ass beat by a no name.

Mike Tyson prime years were different he still could have been the most dominate heavyweight of all time you see Mike Tyson was all about skills when he was with cus but after that it was all about being an animal & conquerer along with aggression & bad lifestyle outside of boxing to wear the body doesn’t respond they way you want it to if Mike kept on polishing his skills history would be different

@@zappersolo7588 what's that mean
Nobody can ever sayTyson was easy to put down. The guy could take some serious hits.
MESSAGE TO THE YOUNG FIGHTER'S, REMEMBER YOUR TRAINER, AND CORNER MAN IS IMPORTANT.
Whiners keep thinking Tyson won. This full fight shows who was better. Look at the number of punches Tyson received and vice versa. Tyson was clearly weakened. He was extremely lucky with his uppercut. Also, compare the way Buster and Tyson get up. Tyson was off balance, Buster wasn't. Everyone knew it was a matter of time Tyson would be knocked out. Too many punches landed. When you get so many punches, you lose stamina and accuracy. This is what happened to Tyson. Stop cheerleading and start analyzing the fight.
From what I read Tyson was hard to handle and often went against his trainers not showing up for work outs. It's my understanding the night of the fight Tyson was out with the Japanese girls until the early morning hours. When He came in his friend told Tyson you have a fight in a about 12 hours. Tyson's exact words were" I can beat him if I were up two weeks without any sleep.
When Tyson showed up at the ring his trainers could see he was tired and not ready for a fight. Even Tyson's corner men weren't ready and had to put ice in a rubber glove to apply to Mikes swollen face. No one was ready and took Douglas as another bum Tyson will put his lights out in a round or two.These were all the other fight so why will this be any different. Well Tyson got his ass handed to him as he should have.Or a my Grandpa once said "he got to big for his britches. Once he had 340 million dollars now he has a marijuana farm but so do a lot of pother thugs. Tyson said once when asked why he lost his 340 million. Answer: I dunno but I sure had a lot of fun. What I though was hilarious was the audience Japanese audience sat and watched the fight like wax statutes. So they had to dub shucking and jiving noise to make it more like a natural fight.I will never forget that fight over 30 years ago.
I do not like Mike. He will never get respect from ms!!
@@fougee1 He had immense natural talent and as long as he took direction from his original training camp he was a monster.
Excuses excuses.
@@IamAkoma how is it a excuse nobody is taking anything from Douglas but the truth is there for all to see, he got a fluke win on a overconfident tyson then lost it right away to holyfield and went back to being a nobody.
First fight I saw where Tyson looks uncertain before the fight.
Douglos was fight for his mother thats why he won
He did this for his mom 😢
Mike was physically there, but mentally, he was somewhere else. I watched that fight live on pay per view, and it was really a shock to see Mike defeated.
Buster had more on his mind than Mike had. His mom had just passed away three weeks before this fight. He even said that this really interrupted his training due to having so many things to take care of. But he was determined to SHOCK THE WORLD, which is what he promised him momma that he'd do. And he did it.

The bell saved Buster but he was better that day
True
When you look at the size of Douglas how can you blame Mike. The fact Mike was taking down people this size is ridiculous in itself. We are only human. Humanizing Mike only makes his story more incredible. What a moment in history.
Buster was heartbroken because of his mother’s death because of that he didn’t care if he lived or died he just wanted to let go of that rage inside of him
The ignored beauty of this fight is you have one guy fighting with anger, and frustration, probably some hate, and you have a guy fighting for love, and love won the fight. James Douglas' dedicated this whole training camp and fight to his at the time recently deceased Mom, and his love for his Mom, and it worked! He showed how much she meant to him that night!! ❤

Not excuses but a fact That from opening Bell mike was completely flat! HE showed none of skills, stationary target, no hand speed, 1 punch at a time, no footwork..Anyone who seen all his fights will tell you
Long count saved Buster.. He was down 11 seconds in Rd 8
14 seconds
Saved by the bell
No, he was 12 seconds… it is clearly shown at 34:13 the guy out of the ring, with the white gloves, is counting 2 seconds more than the referee inside the ring… when the referee started counting, the white gloves guy had already counted 2 seconds. Period.
This was a good fight but what people don't know once Tyson got rid of alot of people right before this fight when he hired all those black folks with Don king they automatically wanted him to lose go do your research people he actually beat buster when he knocked him down that was definitely a 10 count and later after the fight it was discussed that Mike Tyson was cheated but in a way it was Tyson fought u got rid of your team for a money hungry Don king and they wasn't going for that if u seen the mike Tyson movie 🎥 it's even on there they wanted Mike Tyson to lose this fight they couldn't let him walk away being champ and have all the money and they was count out the deal people better stay woke it still goes on till this day in the music industry half of the rapper's you see get locked up or end up dead they either was beefing with someone meaning another rapper and that rapper has ties with someone bigger than him so they playing with that person money even if u go to Michael Jackson he tried to ex everyone out and he bought his masters to his music and he ended up dead most people be worth more dead then alive in this case they had to take the title from Mike Tyson he was becoming to powerful and he bite the hand 🖐️ that fed him and that's the number 1️⃣ Rule never bite the hand that feeds you he switched up and got a whole new team so the fight was very good and entertaining but it's better people who call the shots it was a fair fight but the ref was told to count slow when he knocked out buster
OFFS go and learn the rules of boxing before making such a statement! It is a 10 count!!!! NOT 10 seconds!!!
Here there are, the best heavy fight of all times:
