I was in high school at the time in the Columbus Ohio media territory where they were interviewing him a lot on t.v. and radio before the fight. He was very confident but everybody else thought he would get knocked out in the first round. The night of the fight I kept checking ESPN as they gave round by round updates and when he won the title I was shocked. One of the biggest upsets in sports history. Douglas was a one hit wonder though losing to Holyfield later that year.

I watched the fight between Evander and Buster. Buster got knocked out with the same combo he caught Evander with earlier in the fight.

Douglas was a very talented boxer (good power ,great jab and good head movement,good defense ) , but undisciplined ,against Tyson ,Buster was in best shape of his life .
Check this out Douglas vs Williams ,look at their technique compared to Fury vs Wilder

When he fought Mike, Douglas had just lost his mom and, for a while, his head wasn't in the right place. Luckily, he was able to go back to training hungrier than ever and took Mike to task.
Probably one of the best huge underdog stories to come out in a while. And highly inspirational too. Too mad Buster had a problem with food.

Probably the biggest real Rocky moment in boxing. Sorry, Chuck Wepner. You were up there but Tyson/Douglas was the shocker.

Yep , he had problems with food ,alcohol and depression.

I'm intrigued by this. I know I have asked you about this before, and if I recall correctly, you stated that Randy Couture had said he would not want to fight Mike Tyson in the cage? Something to that effect. How does that make sense though, for such an accomplished Roman-Greco wrestler to fear a one-trick pony? I don't mean to be disparaging to Tyson...but let's just say at his age, I am not as intimidated as I would be of a prime Tyson. Also, after seeing him on Rogan, I think I could say that to Tyson without him becoming "triggered". I figure Tyson is the boxing equivalent of Ed Coan - who was able to squat something like 675-lb at age 51 - so maybe 70% of his prime. So I think Tyson is probably 70% of his prime self. Enough to maybe win a state boxing show. Would that be a fair way to look at the decline of strikers, due to natural aging? Or are more fast twitch muscles involved, making the decline steeper than that?
Also, is it safe to say that wrestling + striking is the simplest training package a man can commit to, and be able to defend himself well? I'm asking because at 37, Jiu-Jitsu seems too much to commit to. Whereas focusing on two arts in moderation might be something I have time for - in addition to weight training.
A lot of questions here for you, Darren, lol. Feel free not to answer. Just curious to get an opinion from a pro.

I think she got him on prescription drugs. Never forget that interview they did and he appeared zonked out. What was he on? Anti depressants and anti anxiety drugs? Combine that with his new found love for alcohol destroyed his body.

Absolutely. Like I always say... Never marry them, never have kids with them or live with them.
She did look great though ;D :-*
