Mike Tyson vs. James "Buster" Douglas: 30 Year Anniversary (2-11-1990)
- Thread starter the13thround
- Start date
Shout out to Fort Benning Ga. My pops was an Infantry Soldier. We spent a lot of years at that base and the ol man ended up retiring in Columbus GA.I watched the fight live at a partners house, couldn't believe what I was seeing. Stationed at Fort Benning, Georgia Kelly Hill 72nd Engineer Company.
Tyson didn't even halfway train for the fight. He didn't train at all. Lol. Dude was having sex orgies with Japanese prostitutes the week of the fight high on cocaine. And it was that HQ pablo escobar cocaine. Tyson was zooted in the ring.
So his lack of training didn't affect his weight, didn't affect his stamina, didn't affect his strength and Tyson was taking some pretty good punches from a big man so it didn't affect his durability either.
2:02 is that extra layer of honesty that just makes it perfect.u know how i know mike lurks on BGOL....@ 2:02 mark....
One person was focus 1 wasnt... Even the best can get caught slipping when they sleep on their opponent.. This was 1 of those cases
I can agree that he wasn't focused, that he brought his B game against the A game of Douglas but I just don't buy that he wasn't in shape because the evidence shows he was physically ready for the fight.
He came in a bit heavy for the fight (About 2-3 lbs heavy which isn't much, but I think it made him a bit slow). He wasn't in prime shape like his previous fights. Tyson was usually all muscle for his fights, but vs Douglas he was a bit pudgy.
Stamina is key in avoiding punches, moving around the ring well (footwork), and being able to fight at a high level in the later rounds. Clearly stamina was an issue for Tyson in the fight.
Strength was the same cuz he did knock Douglas down (should've been a KO but ref was slow to count). However, with lack of stamina, that strength wasn't maintained throughout the fight for Tyson to continuously pummel Douglas without giving up footwork and speed.
Tyson taking punches? Clearly Tyson wasn't his best because he NEVER took that many punches in a fight b4. He was always dodging and ducking punches waiting to unleash fury on his opponents. He stood in front of Douglas for the majority of the fight. Not as much bobbing and weaving as seen in his previous fights.
Versus Douglas, Tyson wasn't his usual self due to underestimating his opponent. Douglas was still a professional fighter. He had skills to KO anybody on any given day. Tyson took him lightly and didn't train for the fight.
The rest was History.

Tyson has become both underrated and overrated with the passage of time...Nelson Mandela was freed from prison around this time and I remember the grown folks around me happy as hell (was in Jamaica) and me being sad as shit that the invincible man got his ass kicked...worse I didn't get to see the fight for a couple of weeks so I had to wonder how it happened
Discipline and character are a part of the sport so one cannot use the lack of those as an excuse for the ass whipping he got from Buster....would it have turned out different if he was on point?...that was on Mike to prove...intangibles matter

That Tyson who fought Douglas was a totally different Tyson than who fought Michael Spinks. Tyson faded away when he got with Don King, got a new trainers which was inferior to his old one and fired his old training team. Tyson began to not take his opponents and training serious anymore and party too much. He let those title unifications get to his head. He began to overestimate himself and not prepare for his opponents. You could see Tyson fading with his fight with English boxer.

I don’t know. Gotta give him credit for getting lean and ripped like this, but I hate the circus freak show aspect of a Tyson return.
