James "Buster" Douglas stands in the spotlight after knocking out champion Mike Tyson in the 10th round of their world heavyweight title fight at the Tokyo Dome. At left, a stunned Tyson is held up by referee Octavio Meyran. Douglas's stunning victory (he was a 35-1 underdog) wasn't without controversy, though: He was knocked down in the eighth round, and seemed to be the beneficiary of a "long count" by Meyran. All three of boxing's governing bodies soon recognized Douglas as the champ, but his residence at the top of the boxing world was short-lived as he lost to Evander Holyfield in October, 1990.
