don't know if this one has come up before but.. question.. how come tillery was disqualified when clearly bowe threw the first punch after the bell sounded. that was a very bad decision by the judges.
Exactly. It really is a simple sport to follow; follow the money and you'll find why things go the way they do.
Bowe was a dirty ***** and should've been DQ'd as well against Mathis not to mention the foul clinic he put on against Pierre Coetzer. The hide of that **** Newman to carry on like he did against Golota later on after all the dirty stuff Bowe pulled during his career.
Its been probably 20 years since I watched that fight on USA cable network, but i remember it being ugly. Lot of trash talking before and after. Tillery throwing kicks, Newman going off.. Not one of boxing's more graceful evenings.
This was a very funny and ugly saga. Tillery kicking Bowe, and Newman pulling Tillary out of the ring. Just very messy. Bowe should have been dq'd for Newman putting his hands on Tillery.
The whole incident did give Tillery a fairly lucrative rematch though. He received an absolute hiding, but he was well paid for it. He was on his way to a stoppage defeat in the first fight, but because of Bowe and Newman's scumbag tendencies, got a pretty good paycheck. The guy who was hard done most did get his just reward, at least.
