    Exactly the fight I was thinking of also. Eerily quiet.

    Post fight, you might’ve expected Rod Serling to appear out of the mist, smoke in hand (that’s where the mist came from) to sum up what had just gone down against all human calculations and expectations.

    “Buster, a man who previously had never given it quite his all…up against an invincible, untameable, 666 beast, straight from hell, in the form of 42-1 favourite, Iron Mike Tyson…but a man’s absolute focus, dedication and courage can always overcome all….as did Buster’s, even in front of a comatose audience, welcome to the Twilight Zone…da da da da…da da da da…”

    Unfortunately, the shows theme music doesn’t translate so well in the typing…..

    Perhaps we could reimagine it as ‘Dr. Tongue’s 3D House of Upsets,’ with Count Floyd telling the tale. Aaaaooouuuuuwwwww!!! Very scary!!!!

    Lol. Never seen that before. I like. Big fan of The Candy Man. And the stewardesses (incl. Catherine O’Hara?) provided some nice eye candy also.

    IN 3D!!!

    Btw, I consider Eugene Levy to be the best comedic actor of his generation without peer. Even in the smallest roles he steals every movie or TV series and he makes everything funnier.

    Double D in 3 D even (groan).

    The Canuck’s can really deliver. A lot of talent has come from there including the great William Shatner…or is that a bad starting point?

    I really only first became aware of Levy in the American Pie movies - funny AF as Jim’s Dad in those. Since then, I became much more aware of his work on a broader scale. Very funny and clever man.

    Seems like a very nice guy in as you go life also.

    The looks on the spectators faces at Lewiston Maine after The Phantom Punch were quite priceless. I remember the cameras closing up on one particularly well dressed woman who did not look pleased. Probably bet on Liston. Lol.

    The crowd during the Tyson Fury vs Sefer Safari fight.

    The crowd was so inspired by Tyson's return they decided to initiate a brawl in the stands.

    Probably when Goosen picked Corrales up after stopping Castillo. Listen to the sound of that crowd. Never heard anything like that in boxing.
