how did buster douglas get up?

He was motivated by the death of his mother

 

He also had a long ass time to get up.

 

Ha, I remember Mike saying he was in Tokyo going through those Japanese broads like it was eating grapes. :rofl

 

edit

 

That night, Tyson came in as the most feared man on the planet...








But Buster Douglas came out of that fight as the bravest man who stood up against Iron Mike.

 

Plain and simple....Motivation
Buster wanted it more than Mike.

 

As mentioned, Buster's head was clear. I think the key is that the KD happened late, because by then Buster knew he was winning the fight. Who knows what might have happened to his confidence if that KD had happened in the first round? At any rate, Tyson lost to the better man that night. The 1988 Tyson certainly would have fared better, but in truth he was going to have a certain degree of difficulty matching with a big heavy who had talent, lots of motivation and a methodical, unafraid approach to the bout. Buster was the man that night.

 

I watched it yesterday as well, it actually wasn't as big of a punch as I remembered. He seemed completly coherent and all of that long count stuff is crap, Buster would have got up a 9 no matter what, even if the ref wasn't counting slow he was watching him closely the whole time.

 

He had to put one foot in front of the other, put the other foot DOWN, Down, down.....:yep

 

That punch was absolutely nothing special.

Most overrated punch in history. Not only that but it was from exhausted Tyson.

How did he went down from it is a bigger mystery??

Compare that to the peach Tyson got before getting KTFO..; different story.

Douglas got up because he wanted too, he punched the canvas in anger at the refs count of 3 or 4 so his head was clear, also his Mother just passed away, he had not a DAMN THING TO LOSE how would losing a damn fight compare to losing your Mother??:-( im Damn glad he got up because it was a pleasure to watch him Knock the **** out of Tyson..:smoke
