Yes, Mike said that a few days ago. Mike as a young man was a brute in the ring. Today, Mike is actually intelligent and humble person. He certainly didn't take many shots to his head. I am happy for him.

Watched this fight with my dad...I’ll never forget. I said How long do u think this will last? Pops said Maybe 3 rounds. By the 5th me and Pops were screaming like kids, couldn’t believe what we were seeing. By the 7th the phone started ringing...Are u watching Tyson?!?! When Tyson went down, my father and I lost it to the point where my mom came running down the hall...Whats the matter with y’all?!?! One of my fav sports memories with Pops. I was 16
I saw this fight with my Dad too at a Chinese restaurant at the small bar while we were waiting for a table. We watched every Tyson fight together but when this one came around it was supposed to be such a bad fight we didn’t bother...so it happened to be on at the bar and there was the small dinner crowd of about 20 people all crammed into the bar eating Chinese food and GOING NUTS as the fight went on!! I could only imagine if we saw it at a larger sports bar. Everyone there knew Tyson was in Serious trouble by the 6th round... but when BD got knocked down we all thought he was done. Needless to say when BD got up and knocked Tyson down and out in the 10th the place went batshit crazy!! Great memory!! I was 18 then and my dad died in 2009.

Douglas was there to die. He had absolutely nothing to lose. One of the most incredible struggles of overcoming and focus I've ever seen. True warrior!
This was truly one of those "I don't believe what I just saw" moments. No one who was around back then could of imagined Tyson ever loosing a fight. That's how scary good he was.

Not many bigger upsets in sport than this. Knocked down & nearly out by the hardest puncher in the heavyweight division, saved by the bell, comes out and knocks out the great IRON Mike Tyson. Great story to tell his grandkids
& his wife was deathly sick! Although mike was in the worst shape of his of his boxing ever, he under estimed Busrer! Although mike knock him out in the 8th , worst ref ever
This was so huge… I was 4 years old when this happened and I knew that Buster Douglas beat Mike Tyson. It’s hard to explain to people just how big this upset was. Little kids who weren’t even in Kindergarten yet remember when this happened.
The craziest thing is no one ever stood back up after getting ko’ed by mike tyson legend and he is a legend for making that promise he gave his mother before she died
Buster Douglas was Not the first fighter to get up after being knocked down by Tyson. I think even Spinks got up once in that epic title fight. But watch his older fights, a lot of fighters got up after being knocked down, but tyson was a master finisher and would quickly finish off anyone he got down who got back up. And.... that's what's crazy about this fight. If Douglas got up with 30 seconds left in the round, Tyson would've easily finished him off, no question. But fortunately for Douglas the moment he got back up, the bell rang. Also, he's lucky it happend in the later rounds as Tyson was already tired and by the time the next round started, Tyson didn't have the energy to sustain a flury.
@@TheTubeMeister Not at all. Mike wouldn’t fix his own fight for anything. Now his promoter Don King, on the other hand, would do anything for $$$ but not Tyson.
Tyson's limited exposure to longer fights was a crucial factor to Douglas's win. Tyson usually won early. Douglas is proof that once you weather a storm, you can bring a titan down.
Mike Tyson is a LEGEND, however you can see that Buster Douglas fought in the memory of his mom. He had a fierceness about him that came from his soul to honor his mom.
Nobody really talks about how *he lasted 10 rounds* with the beast himself, *Mike Tyson.* 🔥💪🏽 And, you can see at the end when Mike gave him that straight up *”I’m not done yet mf, we’ll see each other again”* look 😂💯 I’d be *terrified* if Mike were to literally just *look at me crazy* like that…
everyone could argue about the ref count or that Buster had 13 seconds, but Buster clearly wasnt knocked out, it was on the ref, he just waited a few more seconds to recover but he could have gone back up sooner if the count was faster. There wasnt an ounce of fear or quitting on Buster that night.
Lol lots of professional fighters have given props to Mike Tyson even legends in the sport. But seeing the local key board man says he's overrated it must be true.
From Rummy's Corner video about the fight: “One thing I’ve learned after years of being a boxing fan, is that greatness sometimes manifests in different ways and varying capacities. Buster Douglas may not be remembered as an all time great heavyweight, but on that one fateful night in Tokyo, he truly was greatness personified.”
The stars aligned, Douglas had the reach, the jab and the fortitude unlike any fight he fought before. Mike Tyson brought the best out in Douglas, and Tyson was obviously not focused in his preparation. Still, a great fight by the huge underdog Buster who could have quit after being almost knocked out in Round 8, but he didn't fight scared. He sensed he could win and the longer the fight went on, his confidence grew after being saved by a long count and the bell. The rest is history. Greatest upset in boxing history.

When you see Douglas first hit on mike, you can sense his determination, even through a screen. He looked as if he was back in 100% or even 101%. He was determined to win this, not for himself but for the woman he promised to win for.

Actually he said it was for Christ. Holyfield said he heard in a church he’d be the world champion as well. Same with Ali beat up at his prime by a Christian who was very bold about his faith. Not sure why these guys were ignored perhaps the same reason some people won't watch The Sound of Freedom.
Yes it was brilliant, the HBO commentary was rubbish. Our man in the UK Ian Darke did a similarly great job of the commentary. Definitely in my top 5 fights of all time, possbily number one.

Colonel Bob Sheridan. He commentated Tyson's title picture rise in the 80's with a ton of great calls. "Ohh, what a SHOT by Tyson!!!" Full props to him here with the call as he was most likely a big Tyson fan. The best commentators will recognize the gravity and drama of the moment and will memorialize it in real-time.
My friends and I couldn't believe what we saw. Tyson's fights were always the same. We were 19/20 years old and were happy that he finally hit the canvas. Now it's 2024 and I feel that Douglas had an angel in his corner that night and Iron Mike is a good guy. Just keep off of those hover boards.
@@accofits6870 I loved when the ref hugged Mike. Like I feel your pain ex champ. I remember watching replays over and over as a kid. I thought no one would ever beat Mike Tyson.
I remember that moment. Shortly after when I was training back in the day at my gym I saw a poster on the wall with Tyson laid out on the canvas. The quote below read "anything is possible" Goes to show how powerful that era was in boxing.

There has never been anyone like Iron Mike, for Buster Douglas to win that fight was absolutely mind blowing at the time. One of the greatest moments in sports history.
@@darienduranza1874 there were boxers better than Mike Tyson overall, but from ~86 to this fight Mike Tyson is knocking all of them out. He was a ferocious killer, his strength AND defensive movement was unparalleled.
@@WorldwideWyatt wut? lmao. he stopped being mike after this fight? tyson doesn't crack the top 10. the difference is from 86 to this fight he was dealing with bums and out of their prime fighters.
Wow, it's like seeing a superhero getting knocked down and the world learning that Superman is still Clark Kent at the end of the day, a human with vulnerabilities. What a crazy thing to witness back in 1990
This fight is considered to be one of the biggest upsets in sports history, but in my opinion it's the greatest! At the time, people considered Mike Tyson to be an unstoppable invincible force of nature, especially after the Marvis Frazier fight. Not a single soul believed that Buster Douglas had even a chance of winning. Most men who were betting on the fight weren't betting on who would win, but on what round Mike Tyson would win by KO! Yet Buster Douglas managed to win through the determination he got from his mother! He truly shocked the world!
Never had any money or gambled but I put a quid on Buster. I knew he would be motivated and Tyson nearly lost to Tillis. I never believed the hype. Old ring rusty Holmes (who was just on it for the cash) and an old light heavy with bad knees in Spinks did not cut it for me.
the man that walked away with a lot of money by betting on douglas and with security around him saw something else clearly. mike was with a bunch of women the nights leading up to this. that's why he lost
Biggest upset in history in no way shape or form, you could tell from the first round Tyson was fighting like Tyson. Which meant he was not going to do well. What about his loss to Mcbride!? that was just sad.
@@shadowk3 Yeah you're right. From the first round it was pretty clear to see that Mike wasn't doing so good. I meant that this was one of the biggest upsets since no one expected Mike to lose.
I remember watching this fight with my father when it aired. Dad fell asleep moments before it happened and I woke him up screaming, "Tyson got knocked down!" He looked like a disbelieving ghost being woken up to that shocking news. Tyson was on a tear that no one believed could be stopped.

Buster Douglas had such a big heart to win.. such courage .. he went somewhere where no man before him had gone ...up to that point every opponent that Tyson had faced was as good as beaten before the first bell of the fight ...coz Tyson had mentally destroyed them by fear ...most fighters had accepted the fact he would win ..Buster had the heart of a lion .. what a warrior this brother was
@@jackdorseysdisappointedfather doesnt mean he lost. He was listening to the refs count. You cant say if the refs count was quicker he wouldnt of made it because he was clearly conscious. Even hit the ground out of frustration. He was biding his time to recuperate.
Amazing Buster Douglas gave the package full. No man no matter how tough their stamina are could stand up in time for that barrage of blows. I can see the punch drunk tyson dazed with that shut eye oh my God!
To people complaining about the ref's reactions to the two knock downs; Douglas got planted from one very good punch. When he gets up, he still has his legs under him, stands up straight and is looking at his opponent. Meaning, clearly Douglas is aware of where he is and what's happening and wants to keep fighting. Tyson takes a heavy shot and then about three more where he clearly can no longer defend himself. He's out on his feet, he's just a tough S.O.B. so he doesn't fall. However, while the ref is counting, Tyson clearly has no idea where he is. He's got jelly legs, he's fumbling around for his mouth piece, his eyes are unfocused, he's not standing straight and attentive. He's out. If the ref had let him keep going, Douglas would have just caused more damage against a defenseless opponent. This was a really good job by the ref recognizing the differences. He made a judgement call with each and he was right on both counts. Great fight, great upset, great story.
Classic example of what not always being prepared gets you. Mike didn’t take this fight seriously and Buster put everything he had plus some into it. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work
Not only one of the most memorable moments in all of sports history, but also a very inspirational moment, in and out of sports , for generations to come
@Muhammad Riyas bruh he was in his prime. but mike tyson was doing hardcore drugs and cus d’amato recently passed away so i’m pretty sure those were the things that lead him to this defeat. Douglas beat him.
The guy that hugged mike after the loss is a legend. We all know what it’s like to lose and have nobody there. But lose and still have some one there for you is a powerful feeling.
He wasn't hugging him because he felt sorry. The refs job is to protect the fighters. He was hugging him because Mike was dazed and he didn't want him to fall.
@@rumblevision2558did you watch the video? 2:35 Lol the guy in the sweat shirt and the gold watch is not a ref. And he hugged him above his shoulders which would give him little to no support.
this is what a pro boxing ref does after noticing Mike using him as leverage to get up, he's done 2:07 . the ref CAN let him go for more but it becomes a health issue and could even result in death. he wasn't "hugging" him lol
Texans Tackle he did know what was going on hes programmed to fight and that is why he picked his mouthpiece up cause he knew to throw down he had to have it on just that he was too slow to get back up u gotta respect him for that he was ready to go some more
This was true rocky moment, Buster trained like his life depended on it and in dedication to his recently deceased mother. Mike did not take this fight seriously and did little training.
It's standard practice, a boxer coming up from a knockdown can be disorientated and lash out at the ref believing them to be their opponent, the "hug" is the ref controlling their arms to prevent this.
@@SMSCOOBY71 no no, the ref was there for emotional support. Tyson later said that he considered suicide but the memory of that hug kept him going. They went on to become best friends and Tyson named one of his pet Tigers after the man.
@@nekorisnik the ref was their to do his job not emotional support. What u mean to say is tyson took it as emotional support afterwards which helped him cope with depression
@@Emezepe3 the ref said, in like 2010 that he knew Mike was KO'd by the count of 3 but didn't want to count him out and gave him untill the count of 9, hoping he'd somehow get up but it didn't happen and he felt bad after having to finally count Mike out. Yeah, he was doing his job but his also felt very bad while hoping Mike would get up. He was KO'd tho... He took like 3 crazy punches and another otw down, he probably shouldn't have even been moving after that
I see a lot of people saying “mike finished 38-6 he had an insane career” no doubt. But DURING this fight he was 37-0. There was no one on his level. This was historically shocking
@@DhirajKumar-gh2px Nah for me, Douglas is way awesome compared to Mike Tyson because of his story regarding his training and winning for his mom. For Mike though, just some guy who came in fighting with arrogance and without/barely any training.

That’s not how debt works. Debts do not transfer by virtue of marriage or death.

Buster Douglas was Not the first fighter to get up after being knocked down by Tyson. I think even Spinks got up once in that epic title fight. But watch his older fights, a lot of fighters got up after being knocked down, but tyson was a master finisher and would quickly finish off anyone he got down who got back up. And.... that's what's crazy about this fight. If Douglas got up with 30 seconds left in the round, Tyson would've easily finished him off, no question. But fortunately for Douglas the moment he got back up, the bell rang. Also, he's lucky it happend in the later rounds as Tyson was already tired and by the time the next round started, Tyson didn't have the energy to sustain a flury.
My home boy was fighting for everything that night. So proud of him to this day. His mom had just died and he fought in her honor. So powerful!

Tyson's limited exposure to longer fights was a crucial factor to Douglas's win. Tyson usually won early. Douglas is proof that once you weather a storm, you can bring a titan down.
Facts!
mike had the explosiveness down pat but douglas had the stamina and he used that incredibly

everyone could argue about the ref count or that Buster had 13 seconds, but Buster clearly wasnt knocked out, it was on the ref, he just waited a few more seconds to recover but he could have gone back up sooner if the count was faster.
There wasnt an ounce of fear or quitting on Buster that night.

Lol lots of professional fighters have given props to Mike Tyson even legends in the sport. But seeing the local key board man says he's overrated it must be true.
A son’s love for his forlorn mother took down a titan. *THAT* is the *human spirit*
From Rummy's Corner video about the fight:
“One thing I’ve learned after years of being a boxing fan, is that greatness sometimes manifests in different ways and varying capacities. Buster Douglas may not be remembered as an all time great heavyweight, but on that one fateful night in Tokyo, he truly was greatness personified.”
The stars aligned, Douglas had the reach, the jab and the fortitude unlike any fight he fought before. Mike Tyson brought the best out in Douglas, and Tyson was obviously not focused in his preparation. Still, a great fight by the huge underdog Buster who could have quit after being almost knocked out in Round 8, but he didn't fight scared. He sensed he could win and the longer the fight went on, his confidence grew after being saved by a long count and the bell. The rest is history. Greatest upset in boxing history.

This fight is considered to be one of the biggest upsets in sports history, but in my opinion it's the greatest! At the time, people considered Mike Tyson to be an unstoppable invincible force of nature, especially after the Marvis Frazier fight. Not a single soul believed that Buster Douglas had even a chance of winning. Most men who were betting on the fight weren't betting on who would win, but on what round Mike Tyson would win by KO! Yet Buster Douglas managed to win through the determination he got from his mother! He truly shocked the world!
Never had any money or gambled but I put a quid on Buster.

I never believed the hype.

@Benjamin Parsley Get off the drugs dudd
Fuckin A right it is
To people complaining about the ref's reactions to the two knock downs; Douglas got planted from one very good punch. When he gets up, he still has his legs under him, stands up straight and is looking at his opponent. Meaning, clearly Douglas is aware of where he is and what's happening and wants to keep fighting.
Tyson takes a heavy shot and then about three more where he clearly can no longer defend himself. He's out on his feet, he's just a tough S.O.B. so he doesn't fall. However, while the ref is counting, Tyson clearly has no idea where he is. He's got jelly legs, he's fumbling around for his mouth piece, his eyes are unfocused, he's not standing straight and attentive. He's out. If the ref had let him keep going, Douglas would have just caused more damage against a defenseless opponent.
This was a really good job by the ref recognizing the differences. He made a judgement call with each and he was right on both counts. Great fight, great upset, great story.
On point!

Yeah but he got 14 seconds......
The ref did a great job, as you explained. 100% agree.
The priblem i have with the count for Douglas is you can count to 12 from the time he went down until the time he was back on his feet
