in February of 1990 23 year-old Mike Tyson was about to enter the ring for the 38th time in his professional career the fight was taking place in Tokyo Japan and his opponent as usual was paid little heed this was just another demonstration of Tyson at a peak of his powers the culmination of a career that began with a ferocious and memorable debut in the mid-1980s well a lot of Tyson's early opponents were terrified because of his record and his manner and the way he just came roaring out of the corner and was throwing punches non-stop in 1986 Tyson at age 20 became the youngest heavyweight champion in history he wasn't just winning fights and he wasn't just knocking out everybody and he was knocking them out of the first round and it looked like this was his destiny by the end of 1989 Tyson had muscled his way to the top of the heavyweight ranks and the only legitimate challenger left was Evander Holyfield their meeting was much-anticipated but slow in the making so Tyson signed up for a quick payday against an undistinguished opponent James Buster Douglas from Columbus Ohio a tall fighter with a generous reach 29 year-old Douglas had shown flashes of a potential which had thus far gone unfulfilled in 1990 Buster Douglas was just another heavyweight out there who looked like a sitting duck for Mike Tyson plus a Douglas was not a great underachievers of his time he always was sort of procedures guy didn't really like to fight you know he had a lot of tremendous physical talent the big debate was his aiming to go to Tokyo to cover the fight the only important stage that Buster Douglas had ever been on before this fight was against Tony Tucker a good fighter and he was beating Tony Tucker until he ran out of gas that was interpreted as this guy doesn't have heart will spirit me whatever it was giving away five inches in height and there's a considerable reach advantage you see there - four busted knuckles acknowledged listening please welcome the Challenger James Buster Douglas introducing the undefeated undisputed heavyweight champion of the world the one and only Iron Mike Tyson Sheridan here you see Mike Tyson in the black trunks traditional and busted ugly the Buster is which Buster Douglas has come to fight tonight we've seen him quite outstandingly and many of his fights we're just under way here then Mike will dispose of it earlier surprised and one thing noticeable right away here is that buster is not backing up and when he gets in tight he's not just hanging on to Mike he had a fight look at them as the exchange here in round one taken around the globe there but Buster was half 11 and a half pounds heavier then is Mike Tyson coming up to the closing seconds of distant personal Wow Mike and right back in instance in a while but Canada's only to get through the first round and that's right done game has brought this show on the road both are landing some shots here and handsome back leg up Mike standing straight in front of him this is surprising here getting the jab through life midway through the second round a place that many of us thought though too late let's see it is a grazing right hanging through the left handy judge were actually talking about Octavia Moran own upper cut go through that time by buzz Buster letting some shots here well one thing for sure he's come to fight even in the second round in favor of Buster Douglas might much more go to Mike Tyson to call the drizzle opposed to get through that's the first real telling blow by Mike Tyson hey this is round for Bob Sheridan here we're in Tokyo Japan and a beautiful arena here were they the Amiri Giants played baseball most of the time and the Japanese crowd of some 35,000 on hand here enjoying what they certainly didn't expect and that's that we're in the early moments here meet Kenny back my job can he keep that left going there's a right-handed I'm talking about the big questions and all of a sudden the big fella executed see him bounce a hip bison you see oldest might missing that big weapon jump raise the chin of Buster Douglas and others answered the belly we go to round number five you know my sport cat I actually have Douglas winning two three and four and look at this the first two big shots between for John Landon and this the fifth round I landed by James Buster Douglas that Mike wants to drag this in into some later round it was a real good right handed a fan of James Buster Douglas right Oh big right hand landed back back Buster's two three or four is a question Mike he's waiting the fifth round handling helene around but buster not showing any signs of wearing down at least at this point we're in the sixth round that this is his night all of that sort of stuff but it was one big shot for Mike Tyson can end all that speculation and Mike looks like he's really trying to land a big shot here in the second round every time just like that time you see that big and buster showing a little bit more fatigue here I think Mike probably having his best round of the fight to this point nice shot inside and now you get the idea that in some states yet Mike can land a big shot and in this fight we go with the eighth round and let's see if Mike can sustain these started in the seventh or Buster is going in first back on top of his game drops that big right hand the Mike takes it on the glove and he backs up Mike again with the left why would the right hand is buffer Washington trying to really work the left eye and Mike Tyson it right there right on top of it dispensation say five over the right hand and time and Buster what's there trying to finish this thing in here get an idea Mike this rather fiction as well this is turned out to be pretty good fight and it's making of the fight look at these shots landed by Buster Douglas and if Buster was out of gas in the early going to this round he's get it back together in the late point man raising left pane shopping right Misha uppercut landed by Mike place and that's one of the few uppercuts he's landed in the fight we've been looking for that homing the councilman dude and three and four his eyes from where I'm sitting with Billy clear it's up to seven and age and everything that nannies are you gonna get up get to see God Wow what a turn of events to get his bearings back trying to get those legs back as you look at the replay it'll be an uppercut from Mike Tyson that eventually catches them and there it is look at that that's the clean right uppercut and down went Buster Douglas different angle look at the head snap of the perspiration fly and that's the Mike Tyson we've been looking for all night and now the big question is can Buster get it together between the eight the nine crowd looks and then one a vicious uppercut isn't just another day in the office for Mike Tyson well here we go with round number nine now let's see if Mike can sustain it and he's got the adrenaline flow going he wants to end this thing now the ninth round of a fight we never expected to be this far so no matter what happens we give a lot of credit hey Buster Douglas we're making this a big big fight nice and trying to end it with one big shot again he's down he comes to the uppercut look at this Buster is not ready to pack it in mother died a couple of weeks ago might be watching and giving him just that extra inspiration that he needs whatever it is he's fighting back like a heaven seen Buster do certainly and the Tony Tucker fight when he got in trouble he gonna well he'd be folded up there's no question about it we're past the midway point round nine he's fuckin the likes of Mike I don't know we gotta begin Buster quite blending some big shots and now we can't get killers look at that who would ever expect he comes back showing the heart the tremendous hug and we've seen some time enlightening in others tonight I haven't seen life in this kind of trouble before fuckin my Gatsby's grasping a my fishing the judge buster loading up the judge a seesaw beverage turned out to be from six it again sustained through the dense right hand Landon as a referee was breaking them Mike misses the upper side doesn't have the good balance his legs together as Buster's landing for the first time in his career white bison hits the canvas he's a big trouble he may not be every cover it's up to seven and a bacon miss a new heavyweight champion of the world you can't afford the missile no matter who the opponent is this is unbelievable two Jet's third jab a glancing blow Mike's legs weren't there at this stage in my opinion still coming forward and there is a just a great upper cut and it's that uppercut the head Mike back reeling and then followed up by a real strong left hand and as a work done that's all she wrote as Mike is now about to be counted out one more look at it as the big uppercut that changes the course of boxing history followed by the big left hand right bang right there oh look at this and Buster still throwing punches another big left hand throwing the punches as he goes down and Mike for all practical purposes as the mouthpiece flies is out right here 23 seconds in round number 10 the winner by way of knockout the new heavyweight champion of the world James Buster Bucklin you were in Japan at the time were you like we're involved in parties and I heard you weren't focused necessarily and I tell you carried away some time I had
