    I had lost interest in boxing when the fight took place.

    I remember it because of a local (know it all) sports talk show host.
    The morning of the fight, he told a caller that if Douglas won, he would quit his job.
    The next morning that wasn't mentioned. Rather he was saying he had a "gut feeling" that Douglas meant trouble for Tyson.

    Fragile. Just like every other ko artist and frontrunner type fighter. When there's a role reversal--and often times we certainly aren't talking 180 degrees--they look fragile and perform like a guy with a different name. But usually a lot of that is predicated on early and easy ko results. Whole different ballgame with that type fighter when they are the guy absorbing for most of a round. Then, it's not warts exposed, it's fatal flaws.
