As for the fight itself ignoring the 15 second count Douglas was given Tyson did not prepare at all properly

BRB fired Rooney WAS NEVER THE SAME AFTER THAT FACT
Tyson always needed stern direction so to replace Rooney they brought in 2 of his childhood friends who knew **** all about boxing and just let Tyson do what he wanted
While training for Douglas he broke camp for 3 days(never did this with Rooney) too go clubbing in China town
Well known he got knocked the **** out in sparring by a bum in the lead up to the fight

AS I SAID TYSON WAS NEVER THE SAME AFTER ROONEY THIS IS JUST FACT

And now with this all in mind without a 15 second count he would still have won lol
All valid points but also watch that fight and see Douglass break down Tysons style, hold him off with the jab, then observe Tyson fumbling around on the floor like a novice then putting his shield in the wrong way round. Douglas won that fight alot easier than people remember.

It is amazing that even after all this time Tyson still has this mystique even though losing very badly to both Douglas and Holyfield and the subsequent joke that his life has become.
