There are many glimpses or things in the long river of time that are difficult for us to forget, and there is a short-lived figure in the history of boxing that many fans still remember. Presumably, the first thing most people in the history of boxing think of is Tyson, the man we're going to talk about today who beat Tyson's James Douglas in an unexpected game. Many people who don't know the world of boxing also know Tyson, so why did he lose to Douglas at such a peak moment?
The ending of the match was undisputed, he won the game by an absolute margin, but there were many who were skeptical about Douglas's quality. There are many versions of the results of the two-man match in boxing history, the most popular version of which is nothing more than Tyson's covetousness of alcohol the night before the match. We've heard too many stories like this, and we're going to interpret this game today from a boxing perspective.
The conspiracy under the pen of the literati, waiting for the passage of time, will eventually drift out of the original face of things. But such a statement is just a good wish, and for 30 years the boxing world has experienced one match after another, and there are many enigmatic competitions that have been talked about all the time, but they have never been answered. Some people said that the match was controlled by someone behind the scenes, and many boxers present at the time expressed disbelief, and even expressed some shock at the result in some bands' songwriting.
Although there are many doubts, the truth will never lie, and such a scene really happened. Tyson was at the peak of his career at the time. In contrast to such a perfect incarnation, Douglas is slightly thin. Many have compared him to a third-rate boxer, and even some boxing experts have predicted that no one will be able to beat Tyson at that time.
Our protagonist Douglas also acknowledges the strength of his opponents, and some even predict that the two will never play each other for more than 30 seconds. He himself had been playing a cannon fodder role in that tournament at that time, and almost no one knew of his existence, let alone favored him.
But in the eyes of the proud Tyson, there was almost no one to be his opponent, and Tyson was so proud at the time that he thought he had absolute strength to crush the opponent, so he didn't dodge too much. By the time the two men hit the back, he was already at a disadvantage, and the only way to win was to continue to attack. As a boxer, his instincts are very accurate, and he has already occupied the top of the game in the eighth round. What happened next gave material for conspiracy theories written by many later literati.
With Douglas already knocked out with little chance of winning, the referee read the seconds surprisingly slowly. Judging from some video recordings at the time, the time of reading seconds between the two referees on and off the court was not consistent. On the field, there are two referees who read the seconds together, and the off-court negotiations provide reference for the on-field referees. The main reason for providing reference is that the referee on the field has to deal with various emergencies in the first time, so it is necessary to refer to the correct reading of the seconds given by the field in a few seconds.
But this time, amazingly,
In the ninth round, both players wanted to end the game as quickly as possible, especially Tyson. But this time he was out of the division again, and he was hit hard during the game, but he persevered. In the next round, the situation between the two sides turned. In fact, from this game, it is not difficult for us to see that there is a big reason for the fact that the king of boxing is light.
The media at that time gave him a very fanatical praise, and in such a touting, he seemed to have lost himself. The odds of the bookmakers of this match at that time are still beyond the reach of other families.
In the minds of most viewers and my gamblers, Douglas's strength is really not good. The death of his mother twenty-three days before his game was also the same thing that inspired his fighting spirit on the other hand. From the moment he became a boxer, his mother was said to be the victor, and it was his mother who taught him bravery from a very young age.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the different beliefs of the two people that this game is so unexpected. When the game was over, everyone present couldn't believe it, and even the TV announcer kept shouting disbelief. Douglas's peak was like a cluster of fireworks, opening brightly and falling fast. When he won his first victory, he was thrilled and lazy, so he returned to his position in the next game.
