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

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
30 years today since Douglas took Tyson apart.
Fucking hell I remember it like yesterday getting up and going down and putting ceefax on then running upstairs shouting to my dad he'd been knocked out. Biggest shock of my lifetime and I suspect will not be beaten.
I'm also feeling fucking old.

Even worse the powers that be stripped the guy for having the nerve to be injured in a car accident leading to rematch. A precursor to history, he'd fall under new management be brought Stateside and become a great.Originally Posted by TitoFan
