38-year-old Mike Tyson lost by 4th round KO to "The Brixton Bomber" Danny Williams at the Freedom Hall State Fairground in Louisville, Kentucky #OnThisDay in 2004.
Tyson was still essentially recovering from his stoppage loss to Lennox Lewis, after which he seemed to admit he was on the final portion of his career. He scored a strange KO of Clifford Etienne before being scheduled to take on Williams, who was a good puncher and tough, but considered a sacrificial lamb for Tyson.
Somewhat predictably, Tyson went on the attack early and ended up hurting Williams a few times. But also as many expected, Tyson became exhausted before long as Williams soaked up the punishment.
In round 4, Williams opened up and caught Tyson, wobbling him. Williams continued with his offense and hurt Tyson with a series of punches, then sent him down and into the ropes, where Tyson stayed, unable to beat the count.
Tyson and his team later said he'd torn a ligament in his knee in round 1, and in hindsight it did indeed appear that Tyson was unable to push off when throwing hard.
"Every single round that went by, his punching power seemed to grow less," Williams said. "So I knew I was going to take him out. Once I hurt him, I just let go. I just kept punching and punching. It's the greatest victory of my life."38-year-old Mike Tyson lost by 4th round KO to "The Brixton Bomber" Danny Williams at the Freedom Hall State Fairground in Louisville, Kentucky #OnThisDay in 2004.
