I have seen that knockdown just not the whole segment. Tyson was in poor condition , he team were in shambles and Douglas was inspired. Wished I put all my money on Douglas winning that fight.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Never realized he was cut as well as dropped off a right. Nice.
Have to love the slow mo dramatic theme music they put in as King sits there all alone![]()
That's not Greg Page. That's Oliver McCall!
No its Greg Page you can tell by the footwork, Greg Page was a poor man's Muhammad Ali. There's footage of Oliver McCall sparring Mike Tyson and McCall walked out of the ring complaining.
Greg Page had the tools to be a very good fighter, but he was too lazy and his prime was very short. He went from being one of the best Heavyweight prospects, to a journeyman who got stopped twice by someone like Mark Willis, talk about a fall from grace.
When it happened, it wasn't hushed up and every fight fan saw it. As Larry Merchant said, guys get knocked down in sparring all the time. Don't read too much into it. It was unusual just because it was Tyson and he had the aura of invincibility at the time. Considered pound-for-pound #1 at the time.

Just shows what happens when you spar thinking you have something to prove.
