I don't understand why Donnie Long's guard was so open... His stance looked pretty bad
His guard was wide open from the opening bell, had nothing to do with Tyson cracking him... Just bad technique going into a fight he had no chance of winningCause Mike stung him with that jab after shaking off his.
Donnie thought he was going to get Mike to come inside & pepper him with jabs. So he left the guard open as "bait".
But Mike was too fast & too efficient inside for Donnie.
Donnie had no backup plan, end result, knockout.

We on the same page, we both knew buddy didn't stand a chance regardless...I know. That's why I said he thought he was going to get Mike to come inside & left it open as bait.
Maybe I should have rearranged my sentences better.
Donnie Long body can play defense what's 5 tight ends as his offensive line. He didn't even try to come box Mike Tyson. He didn't take the fight to Mike Tyson.I don't understand why Donnie Long's guard was so open... His stance looked pretty bad
Donnie Long is actually a preacher now. Tyson probably knocked the fear of Jesus into him.
After Cus passed Tyson became heavyweight champion.Those early Tyson days were the best. He was like a bull in a China shop. Everything went downhill after Cus passed and other hands got a hold of him.
When you getting your ass kicked by Tyson, you ain't got time to look down and figure out where your feet should be!I don't understand why Donnie Long's guard was so open... His stance looked pretty bad
