    Douglas was possessed that night.

    Also Tyson was sapped off all his energy bangin japenesse maids. Tyson was getting bj's and sammiches at the snap of his finger=no time to train.

    You can claim that Douglas got a slow count and Tyson got a fast count all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that other than being knocked down in the 8th, Douglas dominated Tyson.

    Was too young to realise just what was going on in the lives of Boxers out side of the ring in 1990. But watching Tyson get stopped by somebody i had never heard of shocked me for days after. I thought he was an unstoppable wrecking machine.

    I love how Tyson haters use this loss to discredit him while refusing to consider the back story. I’m sure in a rematch Tyson would have finished Buster in 4

    No hate here, I'm Tysons biggest fan. Nov 11, 1990 is a very important date in boxing history and I'm merely highlighting it.

    Tyson lost because of Don King, hell, he had no corner, nobody who knew what they were doing, they were using a condom on his eye. Tyson went down hill after Don King took over, if Jimmy Jacobs had not died, it would not have happened. Cus wanted Kevin Rooney to train Tyson, Bill Cayton took good care of Tyson's money, he was an honest man, but Don King took over and that was the end of Tyson.................

    Almost as big of an upset that will happen when Ortiz lays Wilder flat in the canvas with a perfectly timed counter on that fragile chin.:boxing1

    Douglas did not knock Tyson out, Don King knocked him out, destroyed his entire career and robbed him of his money! Tyson did not train, he no corner, they used a condom for his eye, no joke, Kevin Rooney was not his trainer, King took him away, as he also did Bill Cayton, who was honest..............when Tyson went to prison for ****, Don King provided him with a tax lawyer! Hell, no wonder he went to jail, there were approx. 500 pictures that were not allowed to be shown in court. Tyson was prosecuted because of politics, they were out to get him, Tyson did bad things in his life, but that time he was innocent........

    Vincent Fuller was not a tax lawyer. He had defended Don King successfully on tax fraud. His biggest success was defending John Hinckley when he tried to assassinate Ronald Reagan, and Hinckley was found not guilty by way of insanity. The US changed their laws after that regarding insanity verdicts on criminal trials.
