Evander Holyfield Weighs In on Mike Tyson Losing to Buster Douglas, Did Tyson Get Robbed? (Part 7) 

He didn't want the smoke back then unless it was set up for him gets the belts then runs from razor ruddock

@@wrotedog Holyfield low key thought Tyson was going to win and that would be his next fight. In an undertone, when he seen Tyson lose, he knew he would be champ then.

It’s true but Yet the contract was signed to fight Tyson June 1990 and he was getting 13 mill guaranteed, go watch the fight they say it at the beginning of the telecast

@@TLathers225 Why fight Tyson after he lost the belt when he could just fight Douglass and get the championship?

@@trudownsouth8490 I’m saying he was signed to fight Tyson that following June if Tyson had won the Buster fight prior to the fight, but he lost so he Holyfield fight Buster

167 😂

That could be a drinking game. Lol

Damn them blows to the head took some damage.

😂😂😂😂 I laughed so hard! I didn’t notice until I seen this comment

😂😂😂 I’m dead

Why isn’t he legendary?

@@trzmak3977 Lol you misread bro.. He is saying that not only is he legendary but also a good man..

Brother Holyfield is definitely Legendary in the sport of boxing. He may have been rather quiet but in welter weight and heavyweight he fought and defeated the best they gave to him.

​@@Michael-cf9lfdamn I missed it too my bad.

I did misread my bad

Vlad always been a weasel type character

The DEVILS advocate in the flesh.

@@wassaaa710 That’s why it’s messed up that our people go on his show knowing that he exploits a lot of the toxic shit in our community.

Police VLAD….

Why do you watch his channel then?

That's the price of being a champion, messing up his speech, slurring his words from all those punches upside his head.

@TheRaiderStory indeed he was! Holyfield would have humiliated him far worse

AGREED 100 PERCENT

He was on his knee coherent at 7. Plus the rule is a 10 count not 10 seconds

They both had long counts. Mike Tyson lost, fair and square.

Buster dominated Tyson all night

Oh ffs enough already defending a rapist full of excuses. It's not a 10 second count! Its the referees count of 10! Buster watched the referee the whole way ffs

Excuses don't matter. Every referee's count differs. No one other than Mike and his fan base believes that. Buster also handed Mike a whopping all night long.

Vegas baby.

Also Tyson's gumshield was hanging out his mouth and looked disoriented

Tyson’s count was long also. He was down for 13 seconds and clearly disoriented.

@@LARULES100The fight was in Japan.

@@billdouglas8701no he wasn’t ur blind dumbass

You're wrong. Look at the judge ringside who started his count immediately. You'll see he's ahead of the ref inside the ring. He has on white gloves. Background.

@@tyh4180 Thats not a judge who does that that was just an official and he started his 1 count as soon as he landed. That has nothing to do with the ref's count.

Not exactly, as soon as a fighter gets knocked down there’s a person ringside that’s starts the count as soon as the fighter hits the deck, and the referee is supposed to pick up where the ringside referee is counting, and the ref in that fight started his own count at 3 or 4, regardless, Buster was fine, and there wasn’t any time left in the round.

@@chrisbrann7733 but the ref didn't and that's not busters fault. The round ended after he got up. So tyson had the chance to take advantage! He didn't he lost heart. Not the refs fault not busters fault.. tyson failed to follow up on the knock down.

Bingo, you can even see him counting if you pay attention

The white glove, But the referee count is the count that matters and that’s the one he beat easily

He was also on 1 as soon as Buster hit the canvas. It's suppose to be a 10 count FROM the moment you hit the canvas. So the moment of your impact should be 0, not 1...

And the fact its not a 10 second timer, it's the referees count of 10. Buster knew that hence why he simply watched the referee get to 9 before standing up. All these idiot tyson fan boys still making excuses for that rapist for everyone of his losses after all these years is just embarrassing. He simply wasn't as good as he was made out to be

No. Tyson’s count was long also, 13 seconds.

Both fighters got up around the 10 to be honest, doesn't matter if the count was fast or slow, that doesn't stand up in a court, it's what the boxer hears that matters. I would say the difference was Douglus was ready to fight on 10 and Tyson was completely finished and could have got badly hurt if he had continued. Fair result.

Def did

It's always a long count

Long count,😂😂😂😂Buster followed the count that the referee gave him and beat that count easily and could have gotten up earlier if he chose. Plus Buster was completely coherent when he hit the canvass because he slammed his fist on the canvas as to say damn. Yall wildin 😂😂😂

@albertblandshaw7790 Tyson's gumshield was hanging out and looked completely disorientated, that's the difference.

They both did.

Shutup

The Buster Douglas that showed up that night would have been a nightmare for any heavyweight that’s ever laced them up. It was a perfect storm.

roided to the gills

@@artvandelay837had to be

@@neverstaydown3947 Tyson was the much smaller man yet weight much more without an ounce of fat on him. If he was roided so was Mike. The fact is you can look at Evander as a teenager and he was clearly going to be naturally jacked. He had this crazy back shape and frame that just had to fill out. He is also retired and well over 60 yet still jacked.

Tyson lost because he got sloppy after after Rooney was gone

@@Sorted906 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yeah they were both past their peak in 96. Holyfield was noticeably slower, even more than Tyson. In 1991 Holyfield was one of the fastest punching heavyweights of am time.

Bit later than that

The same thing between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder

@@FBOSire fury lost the first fight everyone knows that!

I counted 13 seconds even after the ref started counting and I don’t know why he kept looking behind him for. Probably asking the book handlers was he counting slow enough 😂 Tyson gotta blame himself for not taking the fight seriously and not training. Wish cus d’amato didn’t die or Tyson would’ve stayed with Rooney because he should’ve never lost

​@@demetriusreynolds8178I'm a (ex) fighter...he looks back because his 1st job is protecting the fighter and that includes separation after a fighter gets downed. He separates them and simultaneously there is another man counting supposedly from the point he is down. After the separation, the ref checks the count man and starts from there. It's not YOUR speed of counting, it's the ref. If you count 20 secs and the ref counts 9, as longs as he keeps the same pace, there is no official question (Sonny Liston vs Ali) You have to realize Tyson did this after 3 years in prison with zero fighting. He should of took it seriously but would of beat Douglas, Holyfield and Lennox (+ another 5 fights) had he been out and current. Ali was banned in 67' for 3 years and all the big fighters he lost to after that. Minus Douglas, the same happened to Tyson after 92'. Look at their pre conviction vs post conviction records

Yeah it was a once in a lifetime performance from buster. He would go down pretty quickly in a rematch, like he did with Holyfield.

They’re both boring fighters that couldn’t take Mike in his prime 🤷‍♀️

Yeah they were by their own admissions Neither lined up or campaigned to fight Mike early on. They waited for him past the time

​@@doseloverstar1183that's a lie Evander was scheduled to fight Mike Tyson before buster

Bc they knew him personally when he was a kid and roomed with him

@@justineebourgeois3420Mike was knocked out in his prime

Lmao 😂

Lennox beat the shit outta Mike.

I guess Mike didn’t truly get counted out in Japan in front of the whole world while crawling around the canvas looking for his mouth piece

Mike was way out of his prime@@unfuckw1table718

Quick Tillis ACTUALLY beat him before Douglas did, but the judges sugar-coated the decision for Mike " Only Fought Bums " Tyson.

And Lewis,Danny Williams, Kevin McBride and Douglas,

Me too. My Science teacher talked about it all class!

42/1. If someone put $100 on Buster Douglas to beat Mike tyson, they would've won $4,200.

Yes, that whole fight was a setup vs. Foreman. Not that he didn't lose fair and square, but the politics of boxing and the literal politics of Zaire were all against George. HBO did a post match replay of Tyson vs. Douglas (it's on YT, and I remember watching it the night it aired) where they analyze the "long count" going back to the "original long count" in Tunney vs. Dempsey II, and it was concluded that a) a 10 ct isnt necessarily 10 official seconds, it's a refs person count and b) the average count for knockdowns in almost every championship fight was about 13 actual seconds, meaning Mike got a typical and usual count.
