Judge for yourself. Look at the time count on the bottom right corner and count 10 from there. Douglas hits canvas at 0:12, see where he is at 0:22 on the youtube counter. Then, after he gets up... the bell rings. Something is severely wrong with the timing. I don't think you could be saved by the bell in that fight though, so, if that is true. Tyson won that fight. Imagin, if that referee did his job right, everything could have been different. Oh well.

We wont forget him even though we would like to. he did get a long count, up to like 13. If you ask me the fight was a fix. They wanted mike to lose bad. Maybe for money. Maybe they drugged mike because I dont think he fixed it. But the ref not counting and mike having such a bad night. Than douglas gained about 40 lbs for his next fight with holyfield and got KOed. What a bum. No heart.

He throughly dominated Tyson and knocked him out and I was glad. He was prepared and didn't fight Tyson scared like most of his other opponents. It proved to me that Tyson was a bully and a lot of hype and it exposed it to the world. Buster should have given Holyfield a better fight but he was not nearly as well prepared as he was for Tyson.

DOUGLAS BEAT TYSON PERIOD. AS 4 WHERE IS HE NOW, AT TIMES HE HAS ANNOUNCED ON ESPN AND BELIEVE ME HE IS IN NO SHAPE NOW TO FIGHT. BUT THE BEST BEATING TYSON GOT WAS FROM THE REAL DEAL HOLYFIELD!! EVEN LATER HE ADMITTED HE HAD NEVER BEEN HIT THAT HARD! GUESS THATS WHY IN THE REMATCH HE BIT HIS EAR OFF, HE KNEW HE WAS GOING TO GO DOWN AGAIN!

Not this guy. I must say I wish Tyson would have won and reigned supreme. I am willing to bet that Tyson would have beaten anyone between 89 and 89, including Ali.
