Before moving on from the whole Mike Tyson thing this week, with the book review and a republishing of Jame's Toback's film "Tyson" earlier this week, I found these two links worth sharing here as well.
I found these links after doing a little bit of personal research while I was still reading the book and wanted a little bit more information. The first link is about referee Octavio Meyran, who defended his actions during the whole controversy which immediately followed the shocking defeat suffered by Mike Tyson. He definitively stated that Buster Douglas earned the heavyweight boxing championship in the ring in Tokyo on that day in 1990 by beating the count in the 8th round, then going on to knock out Mike Tyson in the 10th.
The second link is from former Tyson trainer Kevin Rooney, who discussed Tyson at length back in 2011.
Both seemed worth sharing here.
Enjoy.
