He even wore the black boots with no socks to mimic Tyson.
Unfortunately he didn’t take into account that Tyson was worthy of the hype.
And he was so eager to get up and show he wasn’t intimidated , that he almost didn’t realise his legs were like jelly and was clearly furious with himself.
I felt a bit sorry for the guy.
Berbick wore the black shorts and forced Tyson to pay a fine as he wanted to wear black. Trevor did wear long black socks which looked like stockings.

Berbick took Tyson's bombs in the first round but could not keep it up for the second. It is not easy to try and back a peak Tyson up, to try and bully him. Tyson was too skilled. Love that fight know every punch off by heart.
