What KO was more shocking?? Jones-Tyson

Indeed, it was like the Dutch becoming Baseball world champions or something silly like that :yep ...Hey wait a minute! :think

 

Would it be safe to say Tyson Douglas is the biggest shock result in boxing history? (Not that my knowledge dates back particularly far being a spritely 24 year old)

 

You're right. Tyson was more shocking at the time for me anyway (at least for the reasons you pointed out). Especially how dominant Douglas was from the opening, with the exception of the one uppercut Iron Mike landed. He beat Tyson from pillar to post for the other parts of that fight, even more so than Evander did.

 

Tyson easily in my opinion.

 

the tyson KO came over a period of rounds and you kinda saw it coming

the Jones KO was just so sudden and unexpected that I voted for Jones

 

The Jones KO was more shocking and more entertaining to watch. I had it on tape when it first happened and kept rewinding it and and playing it in slow motion. The look on the people in the crowd when Jones was dropped in slow motion is priceless.

 

Jones, Tyson has been Koed before! we watched superman lose his powers.

 

Aren't you like 12 brah?.

 

Tyson lost in his prime. Roy didn't. That alone makes it more shocking.

 

tyson was an asswhoopin, i saw it coming. Jones was a shock.

 

Haha!! Feel you brother.

Jones wasn't really a shock, Tarver had beaten 7 shades of **** out of him already but was just denied by corrupt judging.

 

I have to go with Jones on this one. At least Tyson held on and fought back before his KO. Jones just got KTFO....lol. Then he decided to lay there for awhile....lol.

 

I wasn't old enough to remember either. I feel left out, **** you all

 

Too young to see the Tyson upset, wasn't into boxing yet for the Jones KO. But common sense tells me that the Jones KO was more sudden, thus would likely be more shocking to the average viewer, but I see the point that Tyson had just scored a KD which added to the shock value of his KO loss.

 

Between the results of the first fight and the "any excuses tonight, ROY?" line, I was already on full alert for the upset, therefore it was more surprising than shocking. Jones had already lost his aura of invincibility by then.

The Buster Douglas beatdown came out of nowhere. THAT was a major shocker because, to the public at least, Tyson still had his aura of invincibility, especially against some fat nobody like Douglas.

I'll admit that the suddenness of the punch that did Jones in was more jarring than the accumulation of punches over the course of the fight that did Tyson in, but I'm not sure that's what TS meant with his question.
