I missed the fight. Had no clue about the biggest upset in the history of boxing until the next morning. I had a paper route at the time, and was sorting the sections, not even paying attention. Boom, it was on the front page. I was in shock.

Sittin on the floor in my Maw's bedroom watchin the horror unfold as it was goin down. To this day I believe that the ref gave the long count to Buster when Mike floored him.

In 11th grade, I was a pizzamaker/prep cook at an Italian restaurant. One of owner's sons came in the kitchen with the KO news saying "I knew Douglas would win!" The whole kitchen was arguing with him, I was in shock.
He was my favorite at the time, but if he had people around him who were looking out for him during that time in his life- things may have been different for Iron Mike. IMHO.
