[@jacktheripoff1888]

@@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.

I was on family night @ ft Knox Kentucky , in basic training when I saw this @ motel my mom / sis came and spent time. A fight I'll never forget

[@charlesh1735]

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.

[@parabola8933]

I remember seeing this fight live. Watching it now, didn't realize how dynamic it was. Tyson took a beating but hung in there too. Buster was a monster, on fire. Both warriors.

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

[@garethtaylor1470]

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. Sorry to go on but I love this stuff! If you do too then check out Stan Lees Superhumans documentary series and Mind Body and kick ass moves.👌

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

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.

[@BiggieBigLnPac]

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.

[@Bellthorian]

@@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.

Buster's Leon Spinks moment! Masterful fight, kept Tyson on the outside. Other than the knockdown he fought a perfect fight. Tyson clearly outboxed, only saving grace was his power which did nearly save him

Buster "I couldnt believe how easy he was to hit"

[@ettoredalfarra2]

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.

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.

[@johnniea4684]

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.

[@goobernator50k21]

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

[@niceguy1774]

@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.

[@dretseljohnson5166]

In every fight that Mike Tyson had in his career when he got in trouble he got knocked out look it up. Couldn't overcome ring controversy. He never lost a decision because he always got knocked out or disqualify the one time with Evander Holyfield.

[@CrispyOkra]

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.

[@johnniea4684]

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.

[@Rockiii9]

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.
