1. He dedicated the Tyson fight to his mother who had recently passed away...you see that kind of (and God this is trite) "inspired performance" when a boxer has dedicated a fight to a loved one.
2. Holyfield feinted him right into that lead uppercut....just picture perfect upper body movement and footwork paired with a beautifully timed counter. It was a homerun swing from Douglas and Holyfield capitalized brilliantly.
It was a good shot but Buster could have got up. He took a bigger shot against Tyson.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
