329...How Did I Miss This? Buster Douglas/Ott

Just saw the following on ZeroMeansZero, an anti Larry O'Brien blog that seems to be branching out to be more community minded.

It was February 11, 1990 that James "Buster" Douglas knocked out Mike Tyson. Las Vegas had Douglas as a 42 to 1 underdog at the time.
Congratulations to the Boys and Girls Club for last night's spectacular "Ringside for Youth" held at the Aberdeen Pavilion that raised about $125,000. Buster attended as a special guest.
Missed that entirely, but kudos to the Boys and Girls Club and it would have been so cool to see the man who took out the man when the man was really the man.
