In sports as in everything, my preference is given to players who lose out in advance and sometimes, rarely, indeed, create the surprise. What the English call Underdogs nicely. The champion wins, it's normal, it's his job but his victories often less marked than when the spirits lost, stumbling under the blows of a misplaced or a dilettante. The examples are legion and they are almost as gratifying as each other. Nadal Soderling is correct in the fourth round at Roland Garros 2008, Algeria's Madjer mistreating Germans 1982, Ronan Pensec carrying the yellow jersey in the Tour de France 1990 for two days. But the biggest score, the unthinkable, turning the most incredible, it must be sought in Japan and this, February 10, 1990. That day, Mike Tyson, the youngest boxer to win a title of world champion James Buster Douglas faces a decent puncher Columbus but whose reputation was absolutely incomparable to that of "Kid Dynamite" The rating was Buster of 52 / 1, equivalent to about a chance to see Honduras winning the World Cup in South Africa. Most commentators saw it just take longer than Berbick or Spinks. In short, at best, a sparring partner before meeting with Holyfield. The fans even believed that Douglas was not a substantive opponent very legitimate Iron Mike, he was so lucky that his membership in the stable of Don King. " Quick Jab" will wade to prove otherwise. In the weeks preceding the fight, Douglas lost his mother and separated from his wife. He has nothing more to lose. He lost weight and is entitled to ten good centimeters more than "Iron Mike". Tyson, himself, is quite the most terrifying hitter in 1986. Separation Robin Given, the dismissal of his coach and also perhaps his escapades with pretty young Japanese have weakened. Upon entering the ring, Tyson killer is back as a boxer like others and James Buster Douglas is the chance of a lifetime.
