http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIXx75_G6f4 when was this ? I knwo Oliver maccall put him down, but who was this dude?
The build-up to Tyson-Douglas, the guy knocking him down was Greg Page. One of the more famous sparring knockdowns.
Yeh it's Greg Page. Also Greg Page knock him down before in sparring, i saw different sparring footage age's ago on TysonTalk. Greg Page must of hit hard, to put Tyson down off one..!
getting put down in sparring dont have to mean anything. lots of times you have one guy taking it easy and one going hard....not saying thats what happened here..just saying its sparring, if someone goes down it dont have to mean anything.
Well, they did tell him to find his rhythm. I guess he'd dropped it. I love the shot of Don King hanging out with Astroboy!
I remember I read an interview somewhere where McCall said he and Tyson dropped each other several times.
If only Mike had Rooney in the corner on that day...he would have stayed champ until 1996...then retired.
