Was Tyson Robbed against Douglas?

[wpink1]

False...The rules are the fighter....The Fighter is to listen to the referee and whatever pace, count the referee has, it is the referee's count and instructions to the fighter that is official. Not the official time keeper. The exchange between the time keeper and referee is exactly that. between them two.

You expect the fighter to listen to the time keeper

Finally if you look at the fight, yu will clearly see douglas was ready to get up long before the referee reached 10. He even hit the canvas in frusteration of being knocked down.. He did exactly as he was supposed to do. He took as long as he could to clear his head, and got up before THE REFEREE reached 10. Exaclty what they train fighters to do.

Seems this is aolways left out of the analysis. Once again ifyou boxed you would know that the figher follows the referee instructions and is always told to take as long as possible getting up to clear his head.

Absolutely not. I thought this myth was busted almost as soon as it started but I guess some people still believe it.

Watch:

no dougless wasnt hurnt when he went down and could have gotton up at any time he wanted but decided to take his time while getting up

[randy johnson]

Who says Buster Douglas couldnt have got up sooner? You cant determine that and the point is Douglas still knocked out that cowardly rapist.
