It was the completest thing

I was up late last night and happened to catch a series of very short video clips on ESPN2: "Mike Tyson's Greatest Hits" - a compilation of his complete boxing matches. I realized after a couple of matches that the only way to catch everything going on was watch his opponent's head, since that's where all the action took place. I missed a couple of knockouts because I eventually had to blink. Even with the slow-motion replay I still missed one knockout punch - all I saw was Tyson's left hand move a bit, then instantly his opponent was flying backwards through the air to land on the ropes and fall unconscious. Being in the ring with Tyson at the height of his powers was like being locked in a dark closet with a nest of rattlesnakes.
