    Nope was before I was betting, but I surely would have just on principle. Only a big upset because Tyson was god like in people's minds, nobody really knew Douglas who had all the tools and discipline to beat Mike.

    That fight was fixed. Tyson knocked him out and the ref gave buster to a 12 or 13 count. It was in the 8th round. Look It up on youtube.

    It was easy after you figured out how to beat it. I remember we played it all the time then got tips on how to beat Tyson, man that game was so popular.

    Wasnt Tyson like a 40-1 favorite, who in their right minds would bet him at that, it would be Douglas or no bet, actually youd straddle it with Tyson to win by KO and Douglas ML, but Im sure Tyson to win by KO was heavily juiced also.

    That was all Robin Given's fault.

    Anyone remember when Tyson was going to kick Brad Pitt's ass?

    He beat a lot of good fighters when they were at the end of their career. He just happened to come along at the right time.

    A few years back when I use to work in Columbus, OH
    I saw a car drive up Alum Creek Drive
    And it looked like the driver had something hanging from the drivers mirror
    I was told it was Buster Douglas, and he use to drive his car, old school like '69 nova
    around town with his championship belt in which he would hang, and hold it there,
    from his mirror when he drove around town.
    I would see him a few times a week
