Similarities between Douglas-Tyson and Guerrero-Mayweather:
* Both favourites appear to have fared worse in pre-fight sparring than usual: Tyson was knocked down by Greg Page; Mayweather was seen sporting a black eye.
* Neither favourite has their long-term trainer in their corner: Tyson had fired Rooney a few fights earlier; Roger Mayweather won’t be present due to ill-health.
* The underdogs are both religious men whose children’s mothers were recovering from serious medical problems prior to the fight – Guerrero’s wife from Leukaemia and Douglas’ girlfriend from a severe kidney ailment.
* Both favourites had significant personal relationships which ended in the year before the fight – Tyson’s marriage with Robin Givens and Mayweather’s friendship with 50 Cent.
* Both favourites had/have a recent change in business partnership: Tyson had recently switched from Bill Cayton to Don King; Mayweather has recently switched from HBO to Showtime.
* Both favourites had/will have a seemingly more challenging potential opponent watching at ringside – Holyfield in Tyson’s case and Canelo in Mayweather’s.
* Both fights were held on occasions of national celebration – Cinco de Mayo weekend in the case of Mayweather-Guerrero and National Foundation Day (a national Japanese holiday) in the case of Tyson-Douglas.
* In both cases there’s 6-year difference in age between the favourite and the underdog.
* Prior to the fight, both favourites had an aura of invincibility, and neither underdog was thought of as a particularly serious threat.

:lol1: at this guy giving me red karma. Like it would put a spec on what I have. Now you're red instead of green now. :waving:
He would have got up in time. You can see him hit the canvas with his glove as a sign he was angry at himself. He wasn't badly hurt like Tyson was when he got knocked down.
You're smoking crack rocks. Why don't you do me a favor, and Google that shyt like you told me. I've seen numerous people hurt and do things out of frustration, doesn't mean he wasn't hurt bad.
Got up in time? My ass. :lol1:
We'll put you in the lazy department then.
All you had to do is google 'mayweather black eye sparring' and, hey presto, up pop half a dozen entries made in the last week, including 2 from this site. I'm not going to provide them for you though because I'm not your slave.
Incidently, it is now being reported Floyd was bloodied in sparring a day or 2 ago.
Tyson isn't rich.
If the ref would have counted quicker Douglas would have got up quicker.
How the hell did you get this about us just talking about a black eye? Calm down, there. You got me, is that what you wanted to hear? Goddamn. :lol1:
Douglass was still on his back at 7 in actual time 15 so I doubt it.

We'll put that in the false department than.

Tyson not prepared for the fight if the ref could count in proper intervals Tyson would have won the fight he gave Buster Douglass 20 seconds for a ten count.

funny coincidental circumstances
but seriously, the comparison doesn't stick
Guerrero at least has the father time chance
that's his only chance, but it's there
and if he won, it's nowhere near as shocking as Tokyo was
Floyd isn't close to having Tyson's kind of aura in boxing
A whole lot of vague, reaching connections that mean nothing when it comes to fight night.
Now, if Guerreros mum dies...
