I remember it taking forever to start. We were planning on going out but Tyson's fights usually lasted 30 seconds and we wanted to see the fury. As Buster kept going, they kept talking about his Mom and how he was motivated so you start pulling for the guy. Then slowly he just takes the fight over and u knew it could be possible... Then POWWWW. goodnight.
We never went out that night just kept the fight on in amazement

I watched the Michael Spinks fight sitting in a folding chair on the floor of Reunion Arena, the Mavs old home. Paid $35 to watch it there. One of the guys I came with was at the concession stand getting beer for the 91 seconds. Spinks looked like he didn't want to be there.
