It is up to the referee's discretion how he counts. Douglas won the fight fair and square. Don King brought up that whole long count controversy because he knew Tyson was the sell and wanted to preserve his cash cow. Buster Douglas wanted no part of Don King and wouldn't allow him options. The public knew who won the fight and was the rightful heavyweight champ and that's what made King relent.
It is shameful how the governing bodies tried to invoke every BS tactic to take from Douglas what he clearly earned.
