Mike won the fight because the did not throw any uppercut till the right moment in the round 6.

After this fight and previous with Bonecrasher Smith, I started to realise that Rooney was overrated. He was definitely better than Atlas and many others in the gym, mittwork and general stuff, but not in boxing strategy. What Mike should have done is to hire Angelo Dundee.
Tyson = overrated he was a bully , hit him back and he lost every fight he was in.
Every loss tyson had was way past his prime.

We have to look at pre douglas even though he had douglas down for ten seconds.
