Tyson/Douglas is probably the biggest upset in sports history. Tyson was such a huge favorit most sports books in Vegas weren’t even taking bets on the fight.

popular betting prop on a tyson fight was to pick a round. i'm sure vegas made a lot of money off of people betting on a tyson knockout in 1, 2, or 3.

IIRC he was 42 / 1 according to legendary nights. i was alive, but too young ot be betting on boxing at the time, i was in preschool

the funny thing about tyson vs douglas is that the right guy won. tyson was hardly training, and douglas was the tall, strong HW with a good jab and reach that would always give 5'10 or 11" tyson trouble.
