The things people forget about Douglas-Tyson.

[_Rexy_]

So ironic they used a condom after what Tyson had been getting up to in Tokyo.

Probably why they had one on hand

[KillaMane26]

Douglas had all the intangibles to get a huge upset and Tyson had just enough asterisks to lose.

That night was meant to happen

You do realise the count is to the digression of referee, right?

I believe the rules state “the referee determines when to start and stop a count”. A count is not timed it is counted by the referee.

Was there a mix up between referee and timekeeper? Yes, but the timekeepers count is largely irrelevant, it’s the referee’s count which is final.

Octavio Meyran obviously felt Douglas was good to continue on 9, whilst Tyson was evidently done and . Didn’t Tyson’s count actually last around 14 seconds as well? So there was obviously consistency.

Douglas got up in that 8th round an went on to win that fight. I don’t think the count should take anything away from that.

Just as long as you acknowledged Douglass was on the canvas longer than 10 seconds and could've easily been counted out, we're good.

He's right though...

No he's not.

Douglass was also knocked out in that fight and should've been counted out

I was waiting for a token Tyson apologist to show up.

Douglas was fine after his knockdown. He smacked the ground in frustration then got up. His eyes were clear and the ref let the fight continue.

Tyson on the other hand was knocked silly, wobbled, and couldn't get his mouth piece in by the time the ref hit the 10 count.

As others have said, Douglas won fair and square. Stop with the excuses.

Despite what you "say" video evidence proves that Douglass was on the ground for 13-15 seconds.

Bottom line, Douglas was fine and could continue after the count.

Tyson was not fine and could not continue after the count.

Your boy lost. Get over it.

Tyson isn't my boy, don't turn this into an ad hominem attack.

I'm simply stating that Douglass was on the ground for 13-15 seconds which could've easily constituted a 10 second knockout. That's it.

Have a great day

Oh yeah, and as far as your theory of Douglass being fine after he got up, that's also false. The bell rung as soon as he got up. Anyone that knows Tyson knows that Douglass wouldn't have lasted another 30 seconds. It's all water under the bridge.

That’s essentially irrelevant though. Counts aren’t timed they’re COUNTED. He got up before the referee’s count and went on to win the fight fair and square.
