Anyone see Tyson vs. Douglas live?

[K-DOGG]

All right. Here is the deal. Buster Douglas should have lost that fight. He was knocked down at the end of round 8. The ref ****ed up the 10 count, he got up on 9, and was ****ed up. He was not clear headed. He was wobbleing around and even the announcer said it. As soon as he got up the bell rang to stop the round. Mike Tyson was robbed. I just watched the fight over. What exactly does it mean when you can not be saved by the bell unless it is the 12th round.

What fight were you watching....or what substance were you on? Douglas was very clear headed when he got up, or he wouldn't have recovered in :60 seconds and whopped Mike's ass all around the ring in the 9th. Mike caught him with a hellacious right at the beginning of the next round and Buster came right back and nearly had Mike out on his feet.

I guarandamntee you, if Don King hadn't pulled that bull**** at the end of the fight....you never would have thought of it.

Douglas's job is to watch the ref, not the time keeper. He got up before 10; and Tyson got the same "long count" as Douglas; but couldn't continue.

Buster Douglas whooped Tyson's ass fair and square. End of Story.

I swear to you right now I am as sober as a judge. I just got home from work. I watched the fight. Buster was kicking his ass. I am not denying that. Tyson laid out some killer shots on his head in the 8th round. Douglas went down in the end of the round. He got up on the 9 count and did not have his legs under him. Before anything could be said or done the round ended. 10 more seconds in that round and history would be different. Had the ref counted right, history would have been different. Those few extra seconds can make all the difference in the world. You need to watch the fight again.

I've watched the figth so many times, I've practically got every combinatin memorized. I have no doubt in my mind Douglas could have gotten up before he did.

Could he have survived had the punch landed 30 seconds before it did? I don't know; but I do know Mike nailed him in the opening seconds of the 9th; and rocked Buster....yet, he fought back harsher than ever before or since in his career.

That night, pure and simply, was his night as he found the greatness within. He'd always had the talent; but never the heart. With all the stuff going into that fight, he was a man with nothing to lose....no creature is more dangerous.

I saw it at my house the night it happened. I was around 8 and a half years old. It was shocking from what I can remember.

Tyson should have won. Douglas did a good job by staying in there. I won't take that away. It was just meant to be Buster's night. All in all, I like the fight. It's in the past and I bet both of those guys wish they could have that night over. Especially Tyson.

Fair enough; but I doubt Douglas would want it over. You can't redo perfection, which is what he was for once in his life.

Peace, I'm out.

I thing that most people LOVE to ignore.....Tyson stayed up the ENTIRE night before getting drunk. He had Larry, Moe, and Currly in his coner. And he hadnt trained hard since the Spinps fight. Id put all my money on that if even Ali had done that with any of his motivated foes, he'd have been KO'd to. I thought under the circumstances, Tyson fought well enough. If only they had a rematch......
