The son of professional boxer William "Dynamite" Douglas, Douglas grew up in Columbus, Ohio, in the predominantly black Linden neighborhood of Windsor Terrace. Douglas was clearly showing he was waiting for the referee to count to 8 before getting up. So when I had seen him looking around for that mouth piece I knew he was really hurt.” By contrast, during Douglas's knockdown two rounds earlier, Douglas showed he was ready to beat the count and continue (he bangs his fist against the canvas in frustration at having let Tyson land the crucial counterpunch, showing no signs of being seriously hurt). So anytime you know you only got ten seconds to get up so you aren’t going to worry about anything but just getting up first. As Douglas said in an interview years later, “I thought Tyson was getting up until I had seen him looking for that mouth piece and then I knew that he was really hurt. He was unable to beat the referee's count, and Douglas was the new world heavyweight champion. The image of Tyson with the mouthpiece hanging crookedly from his lips would become an enduring image from the fight. He awkwardly attempted to place it back into his mouth. Tyson struggled to his knees and picked up his mouthpiece lying on the mat next to him. He followed with a rapid four-punch combination to the head, and knocked Tyson down for the first time in his career.
While setting Tyson up with his jab Douglas scored a huge uppercut that snapped Tyson's head upward.
Douglas dominated the round from the outset. In the tenth round, the severe punishment Douglas had inflicted on Tyson finally began to take its toll on the champion. With Tyson hurt along the ropes Douglas unleashed a vicious attack to try to finish off a dazed Tyson but, amazingly, Tyson withstood the punishment and barely survived the ninth round. Both men traded punches before Douglas connected on a multi-punch combination that staggered Tyson back to the ropes. Tyson came out aggressively in the dramatic ninth round and continued his attempts to end the fight with one big punch hoping that Douglas was still hurt from the eighth round knockdown.
