Where were you when Tyson Lost to Buster Douglas?

To be fair don't know if I saw it live or later,but like everybody was shocked.In those days used to get Boxing News from the newsagents{know better now,subscribe}and wasn't uncommon for it to be late.Anyway on the Monday following went in to get it.Front page said"Tyson will Bust Douglas".Kid handed it to me,said "Really??".Pissed myself.
This was Douglas best night,IMO he'd have beat a lot of so called greats.But only on that night.They said to Holyfield that he must be disappointed as he wanted to fight Tyson.He said "I don't want to fight Tyson.I want to fight whoevers got the title".GREAT fighter.

 

Lying in bed, my beautiful ex was a student at the time woke me up with a coffee and told me, I didnt believe her, I just couldnt see Tyson losing.

And if yo mama hadn't walked in on me(as you know,she has immaculate timing) you would've been on a bit of toilet paper.


Only kidding mate.Couldn't resist.:good

 

I was six years old but still remember everyone talking about it.

 

Living in Brooklyn. I didn't see it live. I was 10 years old. I can't remember exactly how I found out, but I do remember being absolutely devastated, and caught up in the "ref cheated" hype...actually, I think many people forget how big of an issue that was after the fight. I remember people complaining that he counted too slow when Douglas got knocked down, and too fast when Tyson got dropped.

 

Three years away from being born. The sperm and egg that formed me still didn't even exist.

 

Possibly either in my dads nut sack or my mom just finding out that she was pregnant.

 

In the womb about eight months away from being born.

 

In tears watching as a 9 year old...Tyson was my favorite boxer. Living in NJ, the youth all felt we where him...Too young to care about his outside the ring problems...Couldn't believe what I saw..I still can't really watch it to this day.

 

This ^^^

 

Watching a game of rugby on TV in New Zealand.
It wasn't on TV - which was unusual, most Tyson fights had been, but I guess they thought it was a formality - and then a ticker tape announcement came on saying Tyson had been KOd during the game.

That only used to happen for huge news events.

 

watching it on HBO. It was shocking to say the least. Even though Mike was losing badly, I was still shocked when he went down.
