There was some excessive holding going on at the start of the fight..Tyson was well past his sell by date when this fight happened.
No, Lewis simply beat Mike's ***
A stoppage was always on the cards
it might have been a pts victory for lewis anyway but with the ongoing risk of getting koed had he not kept literally pushing tyson away with both hands every rd and then leaning on him everytime he got close....lewis used dirty tactics to keep tyson out the fight...also the ref didnt really allow tyson to fight on the inside...most rds were spent with lewis either running from tyson leaning on him or pushing him with the odd combinations...in exchanges tyson often came out on top...by the later rds tyson got tired and began leaning into lewis but was still not allowed to fight on the inside.
