    What did you guys think of the stoppage? Seemed liked bull**** to me. Lou went down from an, at best, glancing blow. Tyson swarmed him after, got in one hard hook before the stoppage, but Savarese seemed fine at the end. A dubious result in my opinion. I think Tyson himself knew it, as he seemed to want to keep on fighting. Your opinions?

    Looked like the the referee saved Lou from brain damage. Lets say the referee didnt jump between them: Does it last 20 more seconds? Nope. Lou's eyes went on vacation just as the ref jumped in when Tyson landed that last legal punch.

    I think Lennox shouldnt have gotten paid when he was beaten by that drug addict (Mccall) or that club fighter (Rahman)
    I give Savarese credit for fighting a Tyson who still had something left in the tank. Unlike Lenny Lewis.

    They were only two years apart. Tyson was a shell of his former self for both fights.

    Odd but legitimate stoppage. Tyson almost knocked out two men in the ring that night. And then the infamous interview about Darryl Baum...

    Tyson was killing Savarese, but Tyson was also close to being DQ'd........ Tyson was a loose cannon in Sweden.....

    Shitty fight........

    Sweden? i thought the fight was in Glasgow?, i could be wrong

    yeah it was a shitty fight.

    Savarese sucks dick, he went down from a punch that didnt even fully land

    Although he was mocking Tyson before the fight about Lou had beaten Douglas who beat Tyson

    It was in Glasgow and anyone who knows Lou knows he didnt lay down. Savarese would never do that he was a tough guy and not scared of Tyson.
    As far as Tyson he should not have been allowed to fight. W A R R E N made him fight because of the money he advanced him. Tyson punched ****** in the face a few days before the fight when ****** confronted him about buying jewelry and putting it on his account. ****** showed up at the fight with one of his eyes hanging out of the socket.
    Tyson was rattled pretty badly by being forced to go and fight after his close friend was murdered. Was a bad fight but Lou should have been allowed to continue.

    Slight exaggeration perhaps.

    But, yeah, it was pretty bad.
