It was called the greatest upset in the history of heavyweigh­t boxing. On Feb. 11, 1990, lightly regarded Buster Douglas stepped into a ring against the seemingly invincible Mike Tyson and proceeded to dismantle the 23-year-old champ from the first bell. Tyson didn’t go down easy, though, leading to 10 rounds of high drama. Directors Ben Houser and Jeremy Schaap crack open the fight’s backstory to create a short feature as engrossing as the bout itself.
