Some would argue that in 2018 boxing is going the way of the dodo bird, but to them I say "not so fast". The Tyson-Douglas boxing match was not just a fight that finished as a shocking upset, but it was a result that shook the sports landscape to the core. They can recall everything about the lead up to the fight, the fight itself, who they were with and where they were. When I talk to those who witnessed the fight, the memories are still so fresh. Not only did Douglas stun the world and defeat Tyson, but he knocked him out. Douglas was a 42-1 long shot, and for most people those odds seemed relatively low. Mike Tyson was the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and was stopped dead in his tracks by some guy named Buster Douglas. For some, these vivid memories take place when you least expect it. It also helped that I had a legitimate side to root for being of Italian descent. It was pure jubilation for not only myself but my family as well. For me, one of those moments was in 2006 when Italy defeat France to capture their fourth World Cup. If you are an avid sports fan, there will always be one or two moments you remember vividly and can recall exactly where you were watching it and who you were watching with.
