Part 10: Buster Douglas on Knocking Out Mike Tyson with a Vicious Uppercut
--------
In this clip, Buster Douglas detailed swelling the eye of Mike Tyson by the fifth round of their fight. However, the tides turned a bit by the eighth round when Tyson knocked down Douglas. But Buster said that wasn't the hardest he's been hit which flies in the face of the myth of Tyson's otherworldly punching power.
Buster Douglas reacted to Mike Tyson's conspiracy theory that the referee gave Buster up to 13 seconds to get up after being knocked down in the eighth round. Douglass said if anything, the ref would've been favorable in that regard to Mike - which he was. According to Buster, the ref counted extremely slow when Tyson was on the wrong end of a knockdown (and eventual knockout) later in the fight.
