It's 13 seconds, not sure what the ref was doing there.

As with Gene Tunney, it really does not make a difference, Douglas was watching and waiting all the time and he could have got up earlier if required.

They were planning to set one up in late 1990's when Buster nearly died of over eating and made a come back. Douglas got his weight down and had some wins. However Buster got knocked out in round 1 by Lou Savarese

Well here are videos that kind of show separate views.

Even still, had he got that knockout, holyfield was next and the little training Tyson was doing at this stage of the game wouldve got him beat just as bad if not worse the next fight.

Mike was beat up that night. Badly. The minute they thought bringing a ice balloon was sufficient for swelling they were losing. Keep in mind that Holyfield date was already made with posters and promos all over. I like Tyson as a fighter and he's made another life for himself. Very well done and deserves credit for falling far enough from the tree and landing on his feet. Honestly..who saw that coming? But always surprises me how quick and often the 'but but but' come in for a talent who's peak-prime was so very quick and who never really adapted ring wise.
