20 years ago today ... Did you see it?

[Replies: 5]
Mike Tyson remained the undisputed heavyweight champion when he knocked out Michael Spinks at 1:31 of the opening round - the fourth fastest knockout in heavyweight title history.

Did you watch it? Could you believe it happened so quickly?

I thought Tyson was dangerous and a good champion.
But I liked it......I also saw him losing the Holyfield
fight by round three.

No, I really couldn't except that it obviously did.
Spinks impressed me as a guy who could live with
heavyweights by the two Holmes fights. I figured
he'd at least give Tyson a chase for a few
rounds.

But you could tell he was terrified as soon as he
stepped into the ring.....Tyson often had that effect.

What about the ring side girls??
Since 1990's I remember HBO used to minimize the screen to show the corner and fighter while the beautiful models reminded us of what round it was. How many of you guys like to be reminded again?
