"I guess it's easy to get frustrated when you are dominating a fight and then get caught. Kelly Pavlik did that against Jermain Taylor in the 2nd round of their recent fight. He got ****y, and then got caught getting overconfident. He stood up quick after the knockdown, however, and was aware of the ref's count, but he was obviously not as together as it would seem, as one could see from his wobbly stature the remainder of that round. In similar fashion to Douglas, he came back to win anyway."
Uh...eh...this has nothing to do with anything.
"Douglas stood up and stumbles back, right around the 1:21 mark. Then watch him walk a zig-zag back to his corner with about 1:17 to go on the clip. "
No, none of this happens. I mean..I can see the video, you posted it. Is there a pink elephant I'm missing as well? He maybe looked a little weary but unless I'm hallucinating I see Douglas stand up on his own two feet, get in a boxing stance as the bell rings, and walk back to his corner in a straight line.
"Just because he was aware of the ref, doesn't mean he was perfectly coherent, and it doesn't erase the terrible job the ref performed. He actually pauses in between counts 6 and 7, just to look around the ring for some unknown reason."
The count shouldn't start until Tyson is in his corner, not as soon as the guy falls. The count is fine and the microsecond pause doesn't make a difference; the camera misses what he sees so it could be anything. Besides, Douglas is clearly waiting for the official "9." Ignore the ****tard tossing up his fingers outside the ring, he's on "3" before the ref can even get Tyson in his corner.
"It still doesn't take away from the fact that Mike still scored a KO, without being scored a KO."
And Douglas walks a zig zag that only you can see as well....
