    Probably one of the best boxing performances of all time.

    Everything was textbook.

    Douglas performance should be shown to every kid who walks through the doors of a gym.

    Well said.

    Douglas performance was pure textbook.

    Whereas Holyfields mixed in a lot of wrestling, clinching and pushing.

    Both great performances though.

    Exactly! And Tyson fanatics go on and on about how a Rooney trained Tyson would go through Douglas like a hot knife through butter. Douglas on that night beats any version of Tyson IMO.

    Seeing how one-sided the fight was apart from the KD, I think that's a fair assumption.
