Almost 20 years since Douglas upset Tyson

Well now that we know Tyson's dick was burning the entire fight from some kind of venereal disease he picked up from some Asian hooker...

Well we got one the worst boxing video games ever made out of it...

 

when your mentor dies and you stop training and start smoking crack and banging hookers, you tend to lose to people you would never have lost to.

If cus had never died tyson never would have lost.

 

Cus was the glue that kept Tyson together. After 88 Tyson's best days were pretty much behind him. Yeah he didn't do too bad in the 90s esp. beating Bruno again but with Don King all Tyson had were yes men and he could do what he wanted. Iron Mike would've been so much more had Cus still been living but he gets my vote into the HOF just because well...he's Tyson! Very few fighters can generate the numbers he did.

 

LOL I was going to post something like this. You gotta love Sega's pathetic "me too" attempt at trying to produce the next Mike Tyson's Punch Out. Talk about a failure....in more ways than one. Just goes to show how big of a deal it was to beat Tyson.

 

Cus died in '85 at the very beginning of Tyson's professional career. Tyson did all of his major accomplishments without Cus. It was Rooney, Jacobs, and Cayton who kept Tyson under control for the significant parts of his professional career.

 

He was smoking crack now too huh.

 

But those fights were dedicated to Cus while Tyson still cared about boxing. Rooney was good but couldn't keep Tyson under control.

 

oh brother cus this cus that ..glue this glue that .. where was cus at when torres and patterson lost? ... no blame game there? ... give it up not even god could have kept tyson on the right track .. .

 

Who's blaming anyone? I know for sure Tyson would've done better with Cus. I'll admit he would've lost sooner or later but it probably wouldn't be to Douglas. Cus could better you to. Cus could turn you into a champ! You need to believe in Cus. Cus is one of the best trainers. Cus even talked to Ali before. Cus was the best! Much love to Cus! Cus made greats. It would be great to be trained by Cus. Annoying ya ain't I?

 

who all did cus train? ..

 

Cus trained Tyson, Torres, Patterson, Mathis. Tha's all I know of...

 

exactly ...great wrote all over him lmao

 

The fight got almost no fanfare and from what I read later the ratings were not unusually high. Most of the people I knew didn't even bother to tune in because they just assumed that Tyson was going to light up another tomato can in a manner of seconds. Douglass was a virtual unknown to the general public. Just a body for Tyson to batter and summarily dispose of. I was watching it alone on HBO, and even though Douglass continued to systematically punish Tyson and put rounds in the bank, I still assumed that Tyson would catch him at any moment and end the fight. When it ended I had to go outside and started shouting - HOLY SH*T!!!!! OMG!!!!!! Tyson lost!!!!! The world for that fight would be surreal... Strange evening in an unforgetable career.... For Douglass, of course, his life changed overnight.... I remembered seeing him in print ads for Pony athletic shoes (Built To Win) and being on all the late-night talk shows.
