[quote:Anonymous Coward 60152060:MV8zNzc2ODE2XzM2NkY0QzY3] I've been watching a lot of old fights on youtube, and I noticed something that I thought would make a nice conspiracy. I've never been a big Mike Tyson fan, but in his fight with Buster Douglas where he took his first loss, when Tyson knocked Buster down in, I can't remember what round maybe 7 or 8, the referee counted ridiculously slow. Buster was down for easily a 12 count at least. I believe that Mike Tyson should have won that fight. And to make things worse when Buster knocked Tyson down in round 10 the ref counted very fast and if you watch closely Tyson was on his feet by 9, but the ref still stopped the fight. I think the ref was paid to make sure Tyson lost and the reason could have been because the odds were something like over 40 to 1 in favor of Tyson. Imagine the pay day for someone who bet a lot on Buster........ It was losing this fight that sent Tyson into a downward spiral that led him to take more losses and even the biting incident lol. Imagine what might have happened had he not lost this fight. Duh Duh Duh, cue the mysterious music. [/quote]
