Great video of Greg Page knocking Tyson down 1990

[ICB]

Yeah, Buster did in fact get a long count when he was knocked down. The ref is supposed to look to the timekeeper to pick up the count, but Ref Octavio Meyran started his own count instead. Behind Mehran, you can see the timekeeper's white-gloved fingers at 3 when Mehran says "one."

Tyson a day or so after the fight:
"I knocked him out before he knocked me out." - Mike Tyson.

When Buster went down, he punches the canvas in frustration knowing he made a mistake and got caught. He watched the ref, taking full advantage of the count and got up at 9. Could Buster have gotten up when Mehran was at 6 or 7 as that was the real count?

Too bad they never rematched. It's a classic fight. One for the ages.

The ref counted no faster for Tyson, i remember someone done a comparison video comparing the counts for both Douglas and Tyson. And they were exactly the same speed, i don't think Douglas was that hurt as you said he punched the ground more in anger rather than being dazed or hurt. And considering in the next round Douglas battered Tyson i don't think he was that hurt.

Here's the video i just found it.
