Douglas didn't wear headgear, only his opponents.

Dan O'Malley, a friend of Billy Douglas, reluctantly stepped in when the original opponent failed to show. He wrote a hilarious article about the beating Buster gave him in a 1990 Boxing Illustrated article, after Douglas/Tyson. They were full contact fights but yes, odd they are listed as proper fights.
