Why didn't Tyson use any head movement in the Buster Douglas fight?

:roll:
He barely, just barely made the count and was lucky the bell rang.
It could've very well ended differently, and you know how.

Great fight by Douglas, but to say he would've always beaten Tyson is just such a load of crap IMO.

 

Are you still in kindergarten??

 

Hahahahaha the man took the count perfectly and wasn't even hurt badly, he was hurt that badly he came out the next round and beat Tyson from pillar to post! :rofl

 

I don't give a **** if he was motivated, facts are he was ill just prior to the fight and on medication. Despite all this he dismantled Tyson from the get go.

I screw lots of women and it doesn't affect my performance at work or in training, infact it makes me feel better, it must be the chemicals a good **** releases.

Here we go again, in a rematch I'd fancy Douglas to take Tyson out even quicker than the first fight, wether you like it or not the man had Tyson's number.

 

At last someone who actually knows something about boxing. :happy

 

What an ignorant post. Are you a professional heavy weight boxer? Are you advocating that having non stop ***, non stop partying and no training at all is the right or professional way to fight for any professional boxer?

The fact that Douglas was in the best shape of his life is proof he had trained very hard for the fight.

Nope, Douglas did not have tysons number just like rahman did not have Lewis number who had a more embarrassing loss.

 

Do you have any idea how much energy it takes to do that exaggerated bob and weave ****? Jesus… Try it as a ****ing midget versus giant mother****ers… And some people think he should have kept that **** up for decades… Get a mother****ing clue…

 

His short reach and small frame made it impossible for him to succeed with any style other than the bob and weave. Bob and weavers NEVER last long(with the exception of Patterson). Even if he somehow beat Douglas somebody was going to get him soon enough. Holyfield Bowe and Lewis were right on the horizon.

Douglas was just the better man that night and as a previous poster said he got Mike biting on feints all night. Tyson was always a sucker for a well timed uppercut and that's how Douglas hurt him and got him out with.

 

I'm no proffesional but yeah I do boxing training aswell as playing years of Sunday football. You're just talking out of your arse if you believe all Tyson did was non stop partying and never trained. If he never trained at all what the hell was he doing getting dropped by Greg Page in sparring then?? Oh he was TRAINING!!!

Yep, Douglas did have Tyson's number and it was a boxing lesson from the start, nothing like Lewis who was caught by one shot and knocked out by Rahman!

 

Sorry buddy but it is you who is talking out of his ass, tysons training regime had declined significantly since rooneys departure and on the very few couple of hours he turned up to train he was getting dropped by no bodies. That is no way to train for any fight.

It took consistent beatings over ten plus rounds by relentless powerful combinations from Douglas to finally floor Tyson who still got up on his feet by the count to ten unlike sissy Lewis who had a **** chin which couldn't even deal with one punch.

 

But would Tyson have had to move for the feints if he was not so stationary?
Tyson did not have a small frame, just short limbs for a HW.

The ONLY style he could have succeeded at? I do not think so, ask Tua-who could have done better with the right motivation-but likely the best style.

But the worst style to turn up out of shape & try to implement.

Douglas having his number, when he looked terrible & DID NOT MOVE WELL THROW COMBINATIONS EFFECTIVELY OR HAVE A GOOD WORK RATE OR ENDURANCE AS PER USUAL...Seems a joke.

He would easily have beaten Douglas, or a pitched battle but KO at worse, & then he may well have lost to one of the big 3-because they were ecellent, not due to styles. But if he stayed hunfy & kept a good team around him, he might beat any of them, & I doubt Bowe could have taken him.

 

Greg Page was a nobody hahahahaha, you don't have a clue!! After seeing what Quick Tillis did to Tyson I would have fancied Page to beat him, he definitely had the power to hurt him that's for sure. How do you know he only trained for a
couple of hours?? Have you got his training regime recorded or something??

Douglas was no big puncher so it's no surprise it took him 10 rounds plus Tyson was actually pretty tough, it's a good job the ref didn't let it carry on because Mike was going to be put to sleep. Is that the same sissy Lewis who destroyed the younger Tyson in 2002?? :rofl

 

Tyson had a pretty good chin. Tyson was absolutely Shot in 2002 while Lewis was at his absolute best, Lewis was a hard puncher and tyson was a punching bag in that fight, it still took Lewis a broken hand and 8 rounds, 167 punches to finally bring tyson down whereas all that needed against Lennox was one shot.

Tillis fought a very good fight against Tyson but Because of the knock down and the scorecard Tyson rightfully was given the decision.

 

Now we are going off topic, you just speel the same old bull**** about Tyson's lack of training and non stop partying without no proof or evidence. It's nothing but a reassurance to you nuthuggers which helps you sleep at night,believing that your hero wouldn't lose to such a fighter. Listen believe it or not I used to be a massive fan of Tyson and still am tbh but I accept the man was very beatable and I can live with that.

 

Yep.

Douglas and his corner really did a thorough job preparing for the fight. And they sure did find the flaws with that D'Amato system. And more important, exploited them.

But Mike had bought feints before. As in the Tillis fight. But you don't have to worry too much about feints when you fight the challengers he did. The best of the lot was Mike Spinks but Tyson fught smart himself and just attacked the guy. I'm sure if he played the boxing game on the outside against Spinks he sure would not have been as effective.

But Douglas had the footwork and mobility to not get mowed down like Spinks. He landed early and moved. And then once he started landing combos, he fell for feints. But we hadn't seen anyone land combos on mike in such a long time. Tucker never really did. the rest of those title challengers were single punch landed types.

It's the combo and accurate hands that causes the problems. Peppered. It really is interesting how so many guys do better aginst big hitters than the guys that pepper.


A great example of brains over brawn. Or like we see in lots of heavyweight fights, one guy nullifying the other guy's punching power. And, after that subtraction, what does the opponent really have?
