On this date 20-years ago, one of the greatest upsets in boxing history took place. James "Buster" Douglas squared off against "Iron" Mike Tyson in Tokyo, Japan. At the time, Tyson was considered to be the best boxer in the world and arguably one of the most feared heavyweight champions in history due to his utter domination of the division. The Mirage Casino in Las Vegas, the only casino to make odds on the fight, had Douglas as a 42 to 1 underdog for the fight. Buster shocked the world that evening, and now I present to you my favorite knock out of all-time, Punch-Out! style:
