    Douglas-Tyson wasn't as one-sided as some of the other examples.

    Douglas was nearly knocked out.

      Douglas Tyson wasn't one sided at all. And plus Tyson nutriders will say he was already past prime

          Douglas-Tyson was one-sided.

          Tyson won 1 round against Douglas, when he scored a KD in a round he was losing badly. Did Douglas look like he was seriously hurt during the "Long Count"?? Didn't look like it.

          88-82 was the correct scorecard.

          The best you can reasonably do for Tyson is 7-2 Douglas going into the 10th, 87-83.

              The count was well over 13 seconds. Douglas was basically knocked out.

              That said, Douglas easily outboxed and handled Tyson while in his prime.

                  Douglas was knocked out. He was clearly down for 10 seconds. The referee robbed Tyson's victory.

                    Yup, I actually timed it with a stop watch. It was 13 seconds in total that he was down.

                    Now, the count is almost never ten seconds exactly by any ref. Sometimes, it's a few seconds more and sometimes a few seconds less.

                    In my opinion, the ref took a couple seconds between counts in that fight and that was pure BS for a ref in a fight that big.

                    Tyson was indeed robbed of a come from behind victory.
