At least two sports networks in Canada (TSN, The Score) showed footage from this fight today. I remember what a shock it was at the time when Douglas KO'd Tyson. Unfortunately for Buster Douglas it was pretty much all downhill from then on. The biggest highlight of his career was pretty much the only highlight of his career.

what I remember about this fight was,I always had a big party with my co-workers whenever there was a tyson fight on pay -per view[$30.00-40.00]
but this fight was on HBO and nobody wanted to bother watching it because all of his fights were over so quickly.[some only went 93 seconds]
so i watched history being made by myself and then my tape of the fight was very much in demand:lol:
