"Mike Tyson has been KNOCKED OUT!!!" 21 years ago today!

[1nonlymre]

I remember we ( me and my dad). Didn't get the fight cuz we thought it was gonna b a warm up for holyfield and the next morning my dad ran in my room like a kid. 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.

I was in second grade, and I didn't know the result until I went to school that Monday. It was the talk of the school, but I still thought it was a lie and a cruel joke. When I finally accepted that he had in fact lost, I immediately began to believe that he had thrown the fight.

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

Where were you when this happened? I forget exactly where I was, but it was a fight party. JAWS hit the ground when Mike couldn't get up! Crazy day, a day that I thought would NEVER happen!

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!
