You know you have some sports moments in your lifetime that you remember so vividly that it’s just kind of strange? That’s exactly how I feel about the Mike Tyson and Buster Douglas showdown in 1990. I mean I know where I was, who I was with, and even what I was eating.
I don’t want to bore you with those details but I can tell you I was almost 11 and I was absolutely heart broken. Tyson’s one of those guys that you just thought was untouchable back then. Guy used to win fights before they even started. I equate Tiger Woods in the early 2000s to that.
Anyway, here’s the video of the knockout. It’ll make you sad.
