tyson was losing but why did the ref count so slow when buster went down?
It was the same. Tyson could not continue. It's best that it was stopped because I have not seen many fighters where such a one sided beatdown was delivered. Tyson took a pasting and looked like he didn't even belong in the ring with Douglas.
Octavio Meyran made a mistake when he failed to pick up the count from the knockdown time keeper, simple as that. Buster did what he is supposed to do by getting up before the referee said "ten"
Tyson got a long count too when he went down in the 10th, only problem was when he did get up he was on queer street, totally KTFO on his feet w/ his mouthpiece half in his mouth, upside down and backwards.

Buster was ready to fight when he got up.
Tyson, not so much.
Because the odds were 42-1...he prolly told some people to put money on the fight. He refereed his last fight about a year later
This right here. You will never understand the games until you know what betting has to do with it...they will buy it off if they have too.
