What KO was more shocking?? Jones-Tyson

Got to say Jones, I was shocked when he hit the canvas. Even more shocked when he hit the canvas the second time

 

tyson, that was just huge..

 

Tyson was getting beat up the whole fight, though. The question is about which KO was more shocking. I don't think anyone who saw that fight was THAT suprised by the time Mike got dropped. His aura of invinvibility had been shattered already. Most people who followed boxing thought Mike was cruising for a loss. He had started to slow and just rely on the one punch KO. Then there was his new corner of absolute know-nothings. I think the LOSS was more suprising than the Jones loss, but the Jones KO was more shocking than the Tyson KO.

 

I wasnt suprised that Jones got KO'd I knew eventually it would happen, but to see Tyson get dominated and knocked out was something. I never expected it, and either did the oddsmakers making Douglas a 40-1 underdog or whatever it was.

 

Tyson's I still cant believe it

 

jones was more shocking to me..said it beofre tyson losing didnt really surprise me..

 

If you say Jones, you were probably either very young or not even born in 1990... It litterally shook the world back then.
Jones being KO'd was a shock, Tyson being KO'd by underachiever Douglas was a massive earthquake! :deal

 

Tyson obviously as Tarver was at least considered somewhat capable of giving Jones a fight especially after the close first bout. Douglas on the other hand was a HUGE underdog.

But as Mind Reader mentioned, Jones was KOed out of nowhere early in the fight after having a decent start whereas Douglas tooled Tyson the entire fight bar round 9.

You know what? I first realized RJJ was beatable against Montell Griffin. But that's a whole other discussion. Anyway, while the Tarver KO was shocking - I heard the news at work, and swore up and down the guy who told me was ****ing with me until I got home a saw for myself...it was shocking, but nothing comes close to what Douglas did. One of the biggest upsets in SPORTS history, imho...

 

Well, I was only three years old when Douglas knocked Tyson out. So I'd have to say the Jones-Tarver KO was the bigger shock to me.

But overall, it doesn't come close to matching Tyson-Douglas.

 

btw, anyone who votes Jones HAS to be young. I was 10 in '90, but already very much into boxing. Even back then, I realized how big of an upset it was. I can't imagine anyone who was grown enough to understand what was going on in 1990 voting for the Jones KO over Tyson.
