So I realized today that the night before I was born was also the night that Mike Tyson knocked out Michael Spinks in 91 seconds. Michael Spinks not only entered the fight undefeated, he had never even been knocked down in his professional career. Tyson knocked him down twice in the first half of the first round, the second knockdown doubling as the knockout. To top it off, Tyson beat Spinks so badly that Spinks never fought again.
I'm not sure exactly what this remarkable sporting moment occurring on the eve of my birth means, but I prefer to view Tyson's remarkable knockout as an omen of the imminent arrival of greatness.
