I just saw the knockdowns again. Both received the same count. For Buster, he hit the mat, the ref pushes Tyson to his corner, and when he gets to Douglas he starts counting. So MAYBE he got an extra second. With Tyson, he hit the mat, the ref told Buster to get to his corner, then he starts counting. But the thing about Buster was that he used the entire count to gather himself. He was clearly ready to get up by 7 or 8. The thing about that was that had Tyson knocked out Buster Douglas earlier in the round, maybe he finishes him after the count. Maybe. But Tyson knocked him down towards the end of the round. As soon as Buster got up, the bell rang.

Well that’s pretty flawed then. Sounds like the ref can do whatever he wants and did. And of course they would come out and say that right after. So you tell me why that should be.

[@skepchica]

They ignore the ringside clock and timekeeper for a reason, its a "ten count" not "10 seconds". The referee needs time to access the fighter. It's not a race to your feet, the ref needs to make sure the fighter is okay to continue. In a sport where people can be risking their lives if they can't protect themselves, a couple of seconds here or there is not important. Buster was alert and could answer the count, Mike could not. Any boxing fan can tell you this. Lol

[@skepchica]

​@@fiucik1Not the rules. 😂

[@SDavison]

Vlad... seriously please read this. In Boxing there is a person called the timekeeper or sometimes called the spotter who sits outside the ring. They are supposed to start counting as soon as a fighter falls, and the ref is SUPPOSED TO pick up that person's count. Sometimes the ref has to instruct the other guy to the correct/neutral corner after a knock down happens. If he comes back and THEN starts his count the guy who's down gets more than a 10 count. The ref is *supposed* to pick up the spotter's count. Every now and then the camera will pick up the spotter as they're counting... Sometimes they stand up (so the ref can easily see them... Wilder - Fury) immediately and start counting a KD. in the Tyson-Douglas fight the spotter had on white gloves. Compare his count to the ref's.

[@liamellis9018]

What Mike is not saying is he interrupted the Count by not retreating to his/correct corner. Watch the tape.

[@FreeThinkAlways]

And the fact its not a 10 second timer, it's the referees count of 10. Buster knew that hence why he simply watched the referee get to 9 before standing up. All these idiot tyson fan boys still making excuses for that rapist for everyone of his losses after all these years is just embarrassing. He simply wasn't as good as he was made out to be

It's not YOUR speed of counting, it's the ref. If you count 20 secs and the ref counts 9, as longs as he keeps the same pace, there is no official question (Sonny Liston vs Ali) You have to realize Tyson did this after 3 years in prison with zero fighting. He should of took it seriously but would of beat Douglas, Holyfield and Lennox (+ another 5 fights) had he been out and current.

I don't know what fight he saw but Buster definitely had a long count but Tyson lost the fight and that's that

[@jeffmejia111]

This 'long count; business was a big fiasco caused by Don King. First things first, it was stated, after much debate about the rules, ' a boxer is knocked out when the referee REACHES the count of 10' not 10 seconds to the 100th of a second. The ref may not start counting right away as he is making sure the standing fighter goes to a neutral corner and may peek to see if that fighter remains in that neutral corner. So, yes, a count may go longer than 10 seconds. King started this controversy, while still in Japan, most likely to get an immediate rematch because he'd just lost control of the Heavyweight Championship. Also, a big money fight with Holyfield was in line and King stood to lose an inordinate amount of money if Tyson wasn't the one fighting Holyfield. Plus, time was of the essence as Tyson, at that time, was facing jail time. Upon arriving back to the US, the media expressed their discontent with King as it took away from Douglas's accomplishment and King backed off his 'long count'. Surprised to see and hear Tyson still defending this. He didn't lose because of a 'long count'. He lost because he'd lost all respect for the Heavyweight championship. .

Rooney was literally slapping and punching mike in the corner saying he wasn’t listening and was losing the fight. Smh oh no tillis fought the best fight of his life huh? Do you not think it’s just a lil suspicious that fighters who are usually nowhere near top level have their best career fights against Tyson?

[@artvandelay837]

@@hannibalbeats24 i've watched the thomas fight around 20 times or so. watch the last seconds of the fight with bob sheridan doing commentary. He says " how pinklon thomas looks awkward and has no power in his jab" you can see the way he throws the jab that he had nothing left. not to mention angelo dundee losing his shit and yelling at the doctor after the 1st round. and then later on cutting his glove to try and give him a longer rest. Rooney never said to tyson that he's losing the fight. He got frustrated cause mike wasn't listening to him.If you've ever sparred you might understand how these things happen. Quick tillis found out he was allergic to lots of foods that he was eating and changed his diet which helped him a lot. If you've watched any of his other fights you can see the difference. After the fight during an interview he also said he hit harder than shavers.

I disagree with Evander with Tysons size. Size had nothing to do with Tyson losing. Tyson lost because he underestimated buster.

[@Aristotelezz]

Long counts are more or less the norm in boxing. Even Tyson himself got a long count in the Douglas fight. Buster just followed the instructions of the referee and that's all he had to do. A rare exception was Ali's KO of Foreman. That count was exactly 10 seconds, and while Foreman was practically up, he was counted out. As if there was a wish he lose.

[@joeblough261]

Yes, that whole fight was a setup vs. Foreman. Not that he didn't lose fair and square, but the politics of boxing and the literal politics of Zaire were all against George. HBO did a post match replay of Tyson vs. Douglas (it's on YT, and I remember watching it the night it aired) where they analyze the "long count" going back to the "original long count" in Tunney vs. Dempsey II, and it was concluded that a) a 10 ct isnt necessarily 10 official seconds, it's a refs person count and b) the average count for knockdowns in almost every championship fight was about 13 actual seconds, meaning Mike got a typical and usual count.

I always said Tyson got robbed in that Douglas fight

[@tylers6611]

Holyfield and Lewis I feel like are the only two men on earth that never seemed to be impressed or intimidated by Mike Tyson.

[@justineebourgeois3420]

They’re both boring fighters that couldn’t take Mike in his prime 🤷‍♀️

[@doseloverstar1183]

Yeah they were by their own admissions Neither lined up or campaigned to fight Mike early on. They waited for him past the time

Mike Tyson wasn’t Robbed Mike Tyson went unprepared thinking he was going to bring his D game and Buster Douglas brought his A game and Beat Mike Tyson,Tyson got outbox as simple as that I give Buster all his props.

Buster douglas had a long count when he got knocked down

[@waynee1357]

You follow the refs count duh

[@flyguy7825]

@@charlesmartin3147 Bro, I've watched that fight maybe more than any other fight. They both got long counts. The fact remains Tyson should have ended buster Douglas in the third to fourth round and he didn't. Buster came in with the game plan and he gave it all where Mike Tyson clearly took the man lightly and he got beat

[@flyguy7825]

@TreeSnackz Man, what?

[@charlesmartin3147]

@flyguy7825 shouldn't have been a long count for both fight should have been ova

[@bh1422]

VladTV how do you refer to Buster Douglas as "Former professional boxer"? Give him his props as the former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world...😂😂😂😂

[@kingjames3949]

Going back and watching yea Buster got a good 12 seconds but he probably could’ve gotten up sooner he seemed more mad he got dropped than actually being dazed

[@flyguy7825]

robbed?! the referees gave both men long counts. Buster said that in his interview and he has said that in prior interviews when Mike Tyson would disputed and Buster was like I'm not denying that but they gave him long counts as well lol

[@marcuscarr123]

Ref messed up not Buster

So happy that all these guys get a chance to make money with podcast and use their unique knowledge of the game . Boxing is a short lived sport with way more to lose the gain

"I say, I say" Holyfield sounding like Foghorn Leghorn.

Holyfield is one the greatest cheats of all-time! All he did to win was head-butt and low-blow. He also took steroids when he moved up to Heavyweight 🤷‍♀️
