I was just a kid but I remember vividly Tyson getting knocked out. I remember my brothers swearing and yelling and when it was over the whole room was quiet til the show was off the air.

23 years ago today the entire world was shocked to see Mike Tyson on the canvas trying to find his mouth piece as referee Octavio Meyran counted ten.

EDIT: Yesterday we missed the 49th anniversary of Ali winning the heavyweight title for the first time in the 6th round against Sonny Liston

I believe Meyran was also the ref the the now infamous Leonard-Duran 2 "no mas" fight.

Love Marvin Hagler. Not just a boxer, but an all-time great middleweight and a FIGHTER.
