"I missed MAG/Gonzalez, after an all day bender at the Holiday Inn pool bar in Ocean City, MD. I ate some shrooms and passed out cold, woke up moments before Tyson/Hurricane. Before I collapsed we watched Dumb and Dumber. Jeff Daniels > Mike Tyson" - Anonymous poster, Maxboxing
Boxing is my favorite sport, as it has been for the better part of the past two plus decades.
There are about four or five single global mega events that stand out so distinctly in my memory that to this day I can still remember every exact detail about where I was and how I felt when they happened.
- The assassination of Yitzhak Rabin
- The bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building
- The death of Princess Di
- 9/11
and lastly when James "Buster" Douglas knocked out Mike Tyson, which happened 20 years ago this week. I was seven years old. For the ill informed, this was only the greatest upset in the history of sports. Colonel Bob Sheridan on the call.
