Mike Tyson v Lou Savarese

[uoykcuf]

This fight made no sense to me, the ref was trying to stop it but both fighters kept fighting. Did both fighters like zone out or something and not realize the ref was trying to stop it when he was pulling at them?

Saverese was out of it. There was no "fighting" coming back from him.

Why did Tyson keep fighting? He didn't see the ref trying to stop it? Or did he zone out the ref so much because he wanted a brutal KO win?

I think Tyson really wanted to hurt Saverese that night. I think he knew the ref had already stopped it.

Did Lou say something nasty to Mike before the fight? Or was this just a fight that Tyson wanted to scare Lewis with and make a statement and he was pissed that the ref stopped it sooner than he wanted it to be stopped.

From what I remember Tyson was emotional after the fight about a death of one of his close friends. I'm only speculating but I can imagine that he was taking out his frustrations in the ring.

That was funny with the ref trying to break them up and goes down. It reminded me of those wrestling matches where the refs accidently get hit.

the ref saved tyson from another bum whooping on him
