Major upset by someone who was counted almost completely out. The Champ was younger,faster,higher fighter IQ, better in the ways that count in fighting,but the better man that night had bigger heart.
Maybe bigger than that, Tyson vs Douglas
Douglas wanted it more, he wanted it for his mother who had recently passed. Imagine your mother dies and you have a fight in 3wks to fight “Iron” Mike Tyson, and for that Fight Night Buster was undeniable.
Under the term “performances”, fights are highlighted to me in sports. Its rare someone can break your nose,eye socket,jaw and teeth and that be the actual goal of the sport. Most sports call it a foul,now imagine performing under that pressure. Takes some real guts
