ESPN Films has shared the first look at its upcoming "30 for 30" documentary on Buster Douglas' shocking upset knockout of then-undefeated Mike Tyson on Feb. 11, 1990.
The film's title is a reference to the 42-1 odds Las Vegas placed on Douglas entering the fight.
"We hope that viewers who see this will come away with a greater understanding of what made it possible for Buster to win the fight - and that we will debunk some of the myths of the fight," co-director Jeremy Schaap told Michael Woods of Bad Left Hook. "Buster didn't get lucky. Buster was far from a bum. Buster had real talent."
