 James Buster Douglas Autograph
James 'Buster' Douglas (born April 7, 1960) was a heavyweight boxer from Columbus, Ohio who scored one of the biggest upsets ever in the sport by knocking out then-undefeated Mike Tyson in 10 rounds in 1990.
Douglas had already been fighting since the early 1980s, but there was nothing in his record that suggested that he was capable of handing Tyson his first loss.
Douglas surprised the world by dominating the fight from the beginning, seemingly hitting Tyson at will with jabs and right hands and getting out of range when Tyson launched his own punches.
