Waking up for christmas yelling tyson got knockedout!!!!!! I couldn't believe it. Douglas was like a 20 to 1 or some **** like that. Lol
    what do you mean you didn't get the fight? It was on normal HBO. It was a tune up that meant really nothing at the time, adding to the shock value.

    I was alone in my living room, sitting on the floor in front of the tv when it happened. I couldn't believe it! Normally there were at least 10 folks at my house to watch a fight, but that night there was just me since it seemed so insignificant.

    But i digress.....you didn't get the fight? It wasn't on PPV that I remember.

      you, sir, were one saavy 7 year old, then! To call a "thrown" fight at 7? Wow.

                  Was in 6th grade watching with friends from my complex. Even as a kid not grasping the full concept of things we see now and understand as far as Boxing is concerned, I still was thinking to myself, "Is Tyson losing this fight?!?!?"

                  Then when the KO came, damn...TOTAL shock!
