Was it a long count?

[Jambo boy]

I've seen about 4 threads with exactly the same subject matter as this in the last couple of weeks. It did seem slow but like the previous poster stated, it's the ref's discretion how long 10 seconds is.

Yes it was a long count unless time was actually slower back in the day... Nevermind... wrong fight. lol.

Edit... I thought it was 9 sec.

doesn't matter, douglas would have made it to the bell anyways. outcome would have been the same, and if the ref would have counted faster douglas would have gotten up.

Dempsey vs Tunney was Dempsey's fight he should of won.

But Tyson vs Douglas i'm not sure.
