John Johnson shares Woody Hayes memories, Buster Douglas stories
COLUMBUS — Ohio State is now deep in the offseson.
So as the weeks without football add up, the Tim May Podcast decided to have a special guest on to provide a blast from the past.
John Johnson, a former assistant coach under Woody Hayes and manager for boxing legend Buster Douglas, joined the Tim May Podcast to share plenty of stories.
Johnson and Tim May talk about Ohio State under Woody Hayes, what Hayes was like as the head coach and how the Buckeyes were so successful during the Hall of Fame coach’s long tenure with the Buckeyes.
But that’s only the beginning of the conversation. Tim and John talk about the legendary boxing match between Buster Douglas and Mike Tyson as the anniversary of that famous fight in Tokyo just passed. Johnson talks about Douglas, how he was able to pull off one of the greatest upsets in the history of boxing and what it was like to work first-hand with Douglas.
Of course, May was in Tokyo for that fight and covered it in the Tokyo Dome. And he has been covering Ohio State for decades. So the stories of Douglas and his fighting — and Hayes with the Buckeyes — made for a fun episode for sports fans.
