Tyson vs Douglas judge cards

Ah, I didn't know he was signed already for Holyfield. Just that it was in the pipeline.

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE
Richard O'Brien

The news broke last week in a flurry of headlines and hastily assembled composite photographs—a scowling Evander Holyfield pasted beside a glaring Mike Tyson. The big bout is on: Nov. 8, Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, heavyweight champion Holyfield versus No. 1 contender and former champ Tyson. The numbers are suitably colossal—a projected $100 million gross, with a guarantee of $30 million for Holyfield and $15 million for Tyson—and so is the anticipation. Already the papers are full of comparisons to Ali-Frazier I in 1971.
Yet, come November, the two fighters will be hard pressed to match the infighting that went on last week as their promoters, lawyers and retainers squirmed and maneuvered to forge a deal. The cast that gathered in midtown Manhattan to negotiate the terms of the bout included virtually all the biggest names—and egos—in the fight business. At stake was money and power. For the two boxers the stakes were far simpler. Tyson craves Holyfield's title, and though Holyfield wears the crown, only by beating Tyson can the champion earn the respect to which he feels he's entitled. Fittingly, the two boxers' determination to meet is the primary reason the fight was finally scheduled.

I can relate to a feeling as though you were dreaming if you had seen Tyson-Douglas on Feb 10, 1990. But, I could understand if you'd think another ref would've stopped it when Douglas got up late in the count. He didn't seem horribly hurt but he did have a discouraged look on his face as though he didn't want to go on. That minute rest appeared to have helped him more than people know...

douglas was knocked out in the 8th....he was down for like 14 seconds the ref had an insanely slow count.

Douglas only did what Lewis probably shouldve done against McCall if he wasnt truly stopped: Regain compure and listen to the count to prevent being completely disoriented, ****faced and wobbly. Lewis shouldve known better in against DKP. Douglas did.
