Yeah, when there are partisan crowds and a big foul that ends the fight, situations like Bowe/Golota II break out. Tarver probably wasn't all about doing a Big George and protecting Steve Albert.
Why would he be scared? He would kick your arse and 95% of other men on the planet. It was the sort of scenario that could quickly lead to a shitstorm.
Golota/Bowe fight at MSG. Remember when Bowe hit Jesse Fergusson while he was clearly down in he center for ring?
