Buster gave him a beat down.
Tyson`s claim to fame was knocking out no name boxers in the 1st round.
When it came to actually boxing another fighter....He sucked.....He could never go toe to toe with a good boxer.
Buster Douglas was one of the examples....And of course Evander Holyfield was the other fighter.
Tyson won his 1st 19 fights by knockout...13 in the 1st round....All nobodies.
Overrated athlete in my opinion.

I was so pissed when I heard the result. I remember a few months before the fight was even announced, one of the Sports magazines had printed an article about who could beat Tyson, or what style could beat Tyson, something like that. They named Douglass to a T as far as what style it would take, or what physical dimensions it would take, without actually naming him directly. At the time, I had 2 locals, and it was before I knew anything about Internet or Offshore. Neither of them would take a boxing longshot more than about 4-1, so I couldn't bet it. Would have had somewhere between $20-50 on it, a nice little score.
