On February 11, 1990, the ground in Tokyo shook so violently that its reverberations—at least metaphorically—were felt in the small upstate town of Catskill, New York, some 6,650 miles away. It was early afternoon in the Tokyo Dome when boxer Mike Tyson, favored to win 42 to 1, was knocked out for the first time in his professional career. The undefeated heavyweight champion, with a 37-0 record, Tyson began his fall from grace at the hands of underdog James “Buster” Douglas, a talented fighter who had been branded as “lacking heart” in his career. Tyson went down at 1 minute, 23 seconds in the tenth round and did not get back up. The sporting world, especially those watching in Catskill, the small town on the Hudson River where Tyson learned his trade, were shocked. The idea of “Iron Mike” being cut down in his world-beating prime by anyone, let alone a journeyman, was unfathomable; at the time, 29 of Tyson’s victories hadn’t even gone past the fifth round.Movies,Sports,Film,Comics,Fights,Highlights,Spin,Truck,Juke,History,edit,diving,leaping,catching,one handed,dunk,slam,jam,alley oop,jordan,lebron,vincent,bored film,knockout,best,top,story,givens,don king,first,okympic,tyson,interview,funniest,wildest,most savage,final,lewis,holyfield,bite,loss,douglas,what happened,money,spending,damato,comeback,return,documentary
